Hopefully there aren't any more for it to reproduce.

I think it was a Tiger Musky? Honestly I couldn't tell you the difference. But no doubt about it. It was a Musky. I can't say where yet because I was pre-fishing for Nw Bass this next weekend. I will tell tou exactly where after Saturday. I bet you could catch it with a swim bait. There were a bunch of bluegill around it. I think it may have been feeding on them? I about crapped my pants when I saw it. But I got a really good look at it 2 times. Its snout was really wide. Dark head and dark tail with a light color body. The tail was kinda maroon in color. Head was brownish. It had vertical stripes but they were not very colorful. It was very shollow.

Sounds like a tiger. Hopefully the state didn't decide to plant them in there. Isn't there a member on this site who is a biologist from UW? It would be a good question for her to see if she has any knowledge of this.

Quit repeating yourself Besty.
Of course the state didn't plant them in there, there are wild salmon in that system.
Obviously we have some bucket biologists dropping Tiger Musky and Walleye in Lk Wa.

Heyah Chris,
If it is a Tiger..no worries..it cant reproduce! They are sterile fish! A 48" inch fish is at least 8-10 years old. So if it was bucket bioligist dropped it was that long ago. No..the State wouldnt just drop them in there.
That fish has plenty to eat..the Pikie-Minnows that eat the salmon,koke fry will wipe out those species way before a Tiger. They feed on the soft ray fishes primarily the Pikies, tench, suckers and carp. Wow..if there are more in that lake than one what a great fishery it would truly be..hmm..no worries guys okay. The Tiger (s) will not desimate the fishery there..really! See ya on the water, Todd

That would be cool. I would love to see more lakes with Tiger Musky in them. I agree with Todd guys. Most of the lakes with Tigers in them now are good lakes for Bass'n also.

C-Ride, lookin forward to hearing more after the tourney.

I wanted to make sure you didnt overlook my post because it was so informative. You say the state would not put Tigers in there because of the "wild" salmon. Then why would they put them in Tapps which is directly connected to a river that has a salmon run that everyone is trying to protect?
