This is a fish a buddy of mine caught and we have kind of been wondering whether or not it is a Hybrid or a Pure Strain...we intially thought it was a pure strain but the more I look at it the more I think it is a Hybrid...what do you guys think...it was a he!! of a fish either way...

That ones markings are darker but if you look at the fish below very similar markings. There's a lake I fish that has a lot of them marked like that... and I have a funny feeling it's the same lake your friend got that one on. Pure strain musky. They actually look a lot like pictures I've seen of Lake Wabigoon fish though I've never been there.

I would say DEFINATELY NOT A TIGER, and I would agree with others on a nice G.B. Fish---.

check the pores on the bottom jaw. more then 7 then its a for sure musky, 5 to 7 it may be a tiger then the next way to tell is if the the points of the tail are rounded or not. i agree with everyone else for sure a just a really pretty muskie

Thanks for all your input guys, when I look at this fish compared to the leopard tiger below I caught 8 years ago I see that this is not a tiger, and just a really pretty colored pure strain.

Thanks again,
Big Perc

The original is most definitelty a GB spottie or a leech laker spottie, big perch your last pic is definitely a tiger.

Actually it might be a Miger, not a tiger though...a strain of hybrids where the muskie is the dominant gene. A new strain that is just starting to be looked at. That might actually be the first Miger ever photographed...congrats!

Miger???????

We need more muskies - way too much time in between strikes. Gives a guy too much time to think.

That tiger in the second picture came from eagle lake ontario, the only place where leopard tigers exist as far as I have been told...and yes I have been told by many very reputable muskie fisherman in the industry that the fish was indeed a leopard tiger!

Nice Tiger but leapord tiger? Really?

Where's Sorno to clarify? He's the law when it comes to tigers.
