fishboy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I was out Saturday for a few hours and managed to boat & release 5 pike-nothing huge but averaging about 24". I also landed what I think was a tiger? The lake has both pike and muskie as I've caught both personally. What's the consensus? Out of curiosity, what are the regs on a tiger muskie...pike season and limits or muskie?
chris.brock Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I say tiger. It seems like when pike recently invade muskie water, tigers are more common.
Sinker Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I say tiger. It seems like when pike recently invade muskie water, tigers are more common. Ive noticed the same. S.
dave524 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I'll say it's a pike, juveniles often have that barred appearance turning to spotted as they mature and the fins look too rounded for a hybrid.
John Bacon Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I'll say it's a pike, juveniles often have that barred appearance turning to spotted as they mature and the fins look too rounded for a hybrid. Hybrids have rounded fins. Only pure muskies have pointed fins and tail.
fishnsled Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I'd say tiger and a beauty fish too. Rounded tail, markings on the cheek and the "tiger strips" are a good give away. (Chin pores are another) I hope all is well in the Hammer, great to see you getting some water time in.
BillM Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I think that's a bit big to still be a juvenile pike with the vertical stripes. I'd guess Tiger.

In any event a pretty cool looking fish. Maybe due for a repeat visit to Cameron?
TenInchJake Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I'll just leave this here.....(I'm with the tiger guys)
fishnsled Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 . Maybe due for a repeat visit to Cameron? That would be great! It's been far too long since the last one.
