Fished Newman during the 2-Fer Tourney. 10 minutes after blastoff and I hooked into a 31 1/2x12 1/2 tiger on a Rapala Super Shad Rap in perch pattern. A nice fighting fish considering her size. She hit about 3 feet from the boat. WDFW bios were able to collect some data on the fish and then she was released to pass on the thrill to another angler.
water temps were 60 with mostly overcast skies with some rain showers at times.
My apologies for the pic,it would appear that I look more crazy than normal. Thats the effects of several days of limited sleep. The tiger also had this odd scar but it didn't seem to hamper her in anyway.

Looks like that tiger was almost food for a bigger tiger when it was younger. LOL

Thanks Brian,Anglin and Craig. I think these tigers will be explosive at your June tournament. Looking at recent reports,looks like they are doing very well. This particular fish was caught on the southwest end of the lake,pretty much straight across from the Newman Lake Resort.2nd or 3rd to last dock before the lilypads.
Ha Brian,can't ever let the tigers rest but I still bass fish on a pretty regular basis. Been bass'n at Kapowsin but nothing worth bragging about.Let me know when you want to get out,always got a spot in the boat for you.
I figure it was a bigger tiger that took a bite but could have been one of those meat eating carp lol.
