If it's not a tiger... it could be a banded rudderfish

It's obviously a snakehead, you should have killed it on site, those things will kill kids swimming

;)

Nice fish dude, definitely looks old with those shoulders and that hooked jaw. And beautiful colors as well.

Definitely a male tiger. There are several private stockings that take place on the upper/middle SBR that often include tigers. That one looks like a 'Frankenfish' for sure with his rubbery looking healed up pectoral and ventral fins and overall darker coloration but still a nice catch none the less!

Your fish was a real trooper with how long he swam around in that section of the river. I feel bad for him! If you dont mind me asking did you keep that old fella????? You should have put him in a trout nursing home!
The old goat of a Tiger, Brookie Hybrid Trouser Trout was kindly released. LOL! Nursing home Trouts.......

It's a Tiger Trout stocked by Shannons raised at Musky fish hatchery.

Looks like a brook trout to me. I've caught a bunch of stocked tigers and they look very different. The wear on the fins would make me say that it is a recent stockie, but I know the state hasn't stocked brookies in a few years.

Does the state allow private stocking of anything other than Rainbows? I know their hatchery had disease issues and stopped with browns and brookies. Do they extend that ban to privately stocked fish? If not I might go with a privately stocked brook trout.
