I raised a few eyebrows catching this little Tiger...

There are 3 biologist fisherman that say the little lake is dominated by variations and hybrids. In fact, is the perfect conditions for them to breed, crossovers. Better yet, last week was spawning season and found out my hotspot for ice fishing is where they all breed. No kidding. Thank you Jesus!

Cool, catch and release or did you keep it?

That ice has to have started melting, how thick is it now?

I'm catch n release on pike and muskie. That was only 21" but his girlfriend under the ice was at least 40" or more. Legal limit on all muskie up here is 48". Ice has been out for 2-3wks now. Not much biting yet while weeds are still short.

My favorite lake is just 4 miles away. In 20 minutes I'm on the water. Shallow (22ft max depth), full of bass, pike and walleye. Last night the bite was on. My lures were being ripped up by the pike. Here is a video of my best pike, last night. Saw it on sonar and caught it some distance away, obvious stalked the lure.
