nlpaintballer Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Hit Mitchell/Balsam again this week. Lots of missed strikes and follows, spent most of the day on Balsam looking for muskie. Most of the action was on Mitchell, but it was a nice day exploring areas that I hadn't been to before. Ended up boating only 3 pike, a handful of bass and this little tiger. Extended arms. He did a nice little tail walk, too bad he was tiny.
ccmtcanada Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I could be wrong but I think that is a tiger Muskie or juvenile Muskie....maybe someone can clarify. Great catch!! Edited June 23, 2013 by ccmt
Joey Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 I could be wrong but I think that is a tiger Muskie or juvenile Muskie....maybe someone can clarify. Great catch!! He says it is a Tiger Cliff, can't you read Nice little tiger there!!!
Rizzo Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 gorgeous fish! Probably the best looking fish I ever caught was a similar sized tiger. Was out fishing with Aaron (CoolB) if anyone remembers him. Which lake did you get the tiger on?

nlpaintballer Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Posted June 24, 2013 Rizzo, it was caught in Mitchell lake. It was number 7 for me in the past 3 years, all from Mitchell, with the biggest being 43"
ehg Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Maybe the only good thing about pike entering Balsam, Mitchell, etc... is the chance of catching a Tiger musky. That is a gorgeous fish. Cool to see a picture of 43 incher you caught. gorgeous fish! Probably the best looking fish I ever caught was a similar sized tiger. Was out fishing with Aaron (CoolB) if anyone remembers him. Which lake did you get the tiger on? I remember that fish and (CoolB) from one of those Niagara R. G2G'ers i think. Must had been a decade ago....time flies.
nlpaintballer Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 This is the 43" it was a very angry fish and I was solo. and another small one.
Barneybass Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I love the look of the Tigers! just beautiful. I caught one about 45" on Balsam a few years ago but didn't get a good picture becasue we lost the fish after it flipped out of the cradle boatside. Just have a picture with it in the water while I was fighting it.
fishnsled Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I could be wrong but I think that is a tiger Muskie or juvenile Muskie....maybe someone can clarify. Great catch!! You really should try using Google. ....sorry, could not resist. Rounded tail and fins are a pretty good indicator.....along with the tiger pattern on the cheeks and sides. Similar to this one.
muskymatt Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Nice fish but not good news for the Kawarthas Muskie population!
