Well had a few hours to fish today after moving furniture for my mother Inlaw in the morning. Alisha and myself fished spinners and Rapalas for the most part and was able to catch 3 Tigers today. The first was a 28x7, second was a 20x6, third was a 41x13. Alisha hadnt caught a Tiger all year and connected on 2 of the 3 biggest fish. Weather was rainy and cool today. Water temp was 73.5 today. The 41 inch fish had a big wound on its side as well as a inflamed looking tumor that looked like a hemroid the size of a golf ball LOL. This fish was one of the ugliest fish I have ever seen but its tail looked ok....LOL..Good fishing everyone..

Nice job out there. That is rather odd,certainly not an injury caused by a predatory attack.I've seen scars from tigers that have had encounters with props but they don't look like anything in the pic. Looking at the distention,it would almost look like some kind of bowel obstruction but my medic skills are for humans and not fish(lol) Very interesting. I know its a tiger but it "almost" looks like a spotted musky,the patterns are tighter.

Oh so that's what they look like when they're over 14" long. I better get over there and try again. Sounds like they aren't being too shy. When you say spinners are you meaning in line spinners or spinner baits? Nice job.

Black in line spinners and whats called a wooden minnow which looks like a multi section rapala seemed to work the best. Actually caught my smallest Tiger ever at approx 20". Last year I never caught anything under 30"...Good fishing everyone

Getting them in the 14" range is harder than catching a 40" fish LOL....

That fish looks gnarly. Hopefully it grows? Idk looks like it could be bigger. Look at the head on that beasty! If it were healthy that be a toad! Looks like the other mark is a bite mark. The 43 we caught on Merwin actually had a bite mark from a bigger musky on its side..now I wish I had gotten a picture of that one. See ya, Todd
