Location: Minneapolis, MN		Was out this past weekend fishing for Tigers and bagged two. After placing them back in the water they both swam off right away. This is very different than the muskie I caught in near the end of July which took about 2-3 minutes before swimming off. So this got me wondering if tigers are more "durable" than pure muskies.

Nope, the water is probably just a bit cooler than it was in July. I have not seen a difference in durability between the two though and have been mostly catching tigers the past few years. Water temps are pretty important when it comes to durability and a healthy release. BR
