Cool, thanks for the education!  Can they cross Female Pike and male Musky?

 

I just saw this.  To be honest, I don't know.  I would assume a Female Pike and a Male Musky would also produce a Tiger Musky, but in the wild, since Pike Spawn before Musky, naturally occurring Tiger Musky are almost always a result a and Male Pike coming late to the party and finding a fat Female Musky to take home vs. a Male Musky showing up early.  As far as the Tiger produced in the hatcheries, I've heard that Musky eggs are easier to deal with (i.e., less adhesive) so they milk the female Musky and male Pike.  If anyone else knows differently, I would like to know the real answer to this as well.

That's a big Tiger. Congrats to him. 

i was trying to find the world record and it looks like it measured 52.5" so this was in that category.  Beautiful fish

I caught a tiger muskie years ago, but nothing like that one! That is one great fish!

Tiger muskies are easily the coolest looking freshwater fish. That thing is gorgeous.

Very nice markings
