deershed Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Anyone ever catch a tiger trout?I never saw a tiger trout til a couple years ago when a club I belong to stocked some. That first year they stocked them I had a rod out bottom fishing.It was out for about a half hour with out a bite.My youngest was tired of throwing a spinner and wanted me to re-tie for him so he could bait fish. I told him to use that rod that wasn't getting any action. About that time that rod gets a hit and he grabs it. He hooks and lands a 16" tiger. I never came close to catching one myself that first yr.and I needed one bad just to shut the kid up. The following year I finally shut the kid up by catching not only one nice tiger.but 2 tigers. The first one was on a Sat. in a downpour that went 18".The following day I landed a 22" tiger with a hook jaw. I'll have to look for a pic of the boys 16 incher.Here's a couple of the 18" and 22". Stacy caught that nice palomino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershed Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Tiger Trout I believe it's a female brown trout with a male brook trout that gives you a tiger trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisha Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: Tiger Trout Deershed - I've been going trout fishing for as long as I can remember and have caught ONE tiger trout that was a mere 11" long. My dad is almost 60 and has caught VERY few tigers in his lifetime. If I were you, I would have gotten the 22 incher mounted..... because that's one NICE tiger. Congrats on a bunch of great fish!

deershed Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: Tiger Trout Alisha-wild tigers and stocked are two different fish altogether. A wild tiger trout is about as rare as they come. If your 11" tiger was a wild fish then it's you that have the real trophy.My tigers were stocked fish. btw-stocked tiger or not mine did go on the wall.

Alisha Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: Tiger Trout Unfortunately the one I caught was stocked as well. I think he was brought in on the fish truck by mistake with a bunch of fingerling browns. He sure was a lot of fun to catch though - he put up one heck of a fight!
