CG_Fishes Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Met up with a buddy of mine on his oat to try and get him on his PB tiger. We got out on the water around 2 after I got out of work. Immediately fish were active, having a fish miss my 10" triple trout and follow him in. Not long after I got tapped, swung and missed. I figured it was a bass, pulled the bait up and saw teeth marks. Casted back and she ate again, 32 and HEALTHY. Made sure with high temps to play her quick and rush to get her back, meaning she had energy left. She used all that energy to rip my hand to shreds as I pulled her out of the net. In my opinion these are the scars that make it fun. My cuts bled for over an hour but I just kept fishing. That ended up being our only hookup for 8 interactions, with our bite completely dying as the wind died. Still a fantastic day, ready to do it again!

Specifically targeting them on a lake with a large population has helped my cause hahaha Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 That’s a gorgeous fish, and a good set of battle scars. Tigers and their cousins definitely can and will try to turn your hands into cube steak! CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
