Went fishing this morning at newton dam. snowed most of the time but I got a nice lmb and beautiful tiger about 30" long. Caught it on a tiger-perch hinged tail crankbait, i think it is 5" or so. I was holding him in 5 " water till my friend took a pic but he wigged out and got free before the pic. I love cathing those guys though!

BIG SPINNERS. BIG RAPALAS. AND BUZZ BAITS. CRUISING SHORE LINES AND PITCHING SHALLOW. TROLLING DURRING MID DAY.

This was my first tiger but with pike I've caught the most with a "Frenzy" crankbait. Black top with a silver under side. And from what I've learned online, tigers usually take a perch lookin crank bait.

I have caught Pike on a perch type crank bait. I have never caught a Tiger but will look for the frenzy at the tackle shop.

What? I have never caught a tiger musky.[Tongue]
Really though, as for Newton, i have never seen tigers act like those up there. They were actually acting like trout that trip. Yes i caught them on musky things, but for the conditions we should have boated 10. I had 1 on a buzzy and the other 2 were on cranks. The bass were the real excitement for the day.
I have not been in my boat since the last week of august. Don't plan on fishing for another 1 1/2 months. Damn hunting season anyway.[Wink]

Say what? You've never caught a Tiger? Shame on you! LOL. I've never caught one either. Then again, it hasn't been often that I've fished Musky waters. The one time I specifically fished for musky, I caught a 15" largemouth bass on a 10" musky lure. LOL.

I think you are reffering to a bucktail spinner. They inadvertantly catch large bass on occasion. Nice job on a hog![cool]
