Another unreal day everyone. This was a fun one. I so much so appreciate all the recent support. In this video today I am fishing a local north western Ontario lake full of Muskies! This was so cool, and I think I may have caught my first tiger Muskie. I could be completely wrong but if you guys might be able to help me with some fish Id I would so much so appreciate it!
Again, thank you all so much for the comments and kind words on my posts, it means more then you guys could imagine.

You guys won’t believe this, I realize now that was just a pure bread Muskie. But, just after I uploaded this video I just caught a legitimate tiger. I am still not 100% sure about the one from this video, but am 100% about this. My goodness! That is just unreal.

You just proved that most expensive lures are to catch fishers not fish We should all organize a trip up to fish with you up there...after you buy that house in the background so we will have a place to stay....and we will bring our more expensive lures I have only really targetted muskies on very few occasions in the past when the conditions are just perfect in the fall. So won't try to help you with ID (just don't have enough experience with them and hybrids, etc. - always rushing to get them back in the water to release. Since I don't keep them, I don't want to target them anymore (C&R for fun is just not for me but I have no problems with others doing so...so keep up the great videos and the fun you are having).

Nice fish. They’re getting bigger. Tiger Muskie ID can be difficult. Shape of tail, the underside of the mouth, etc… some people catch barred Muskie and think they’re tiger Muskie, and vice versa… does your lake also hold pike?

Not sure about ID, we got this one in a tiny lake with mostly pike, walleye and lakers…. I think it’s a tiger but also been told it’s a barred Muskie. Either way it’s a nice fish, and yours is even nicer!

That’s so true! It was definitely a lot of fun to try to fish on a budget! And LOL, that sounds good to me, lots of fish to be caught up here! Thank you so much for the kind words. I have been having so much fun with these Muskies that is for sure. It truly is so enjoyable.

Thank you! They definitely are that is for sure. I am really enjoying the Muskie fishing. It is pretty amazing the Muskies have all the different patterns as well. Makes identifying them just so much more fun. The lake I have been fishing is actually full of pike. So Tiger Muskies are definitely a possibility. Thank you for the reply and kind words!

Wow, thats a great looking fish! All Muskies tiger or not are truly stunning fish. Thank you for the reply! Fish ID in relation to hybrid species is definitely a fun code to crack.
