Re: Interesting catch
There are possible 6 versions of the shown picture. Choose what you think.
1. This fish is a descendant from the tiger muskies that were stocked in the Passaic in the 80's. Unlikely they survived this far though.
2. Someone put this in here from another waterbody.
3. One of the several tiger muskies that were put in the Pompton river after the draining of Packanack Lake and then swam down to the Passaic. The tigers were stocked in Packanack by the lake's private fishing organization.
4. This picture is not actually from the Passaic. The most likely option.
5. A tiger directly swam from Greenwood Lake to there. If this is true it is most likely that over time the tigers migrated south.
6. A true strain Muskie/s from Greenwood, Monksville, or Wanaque made it to Pompton Lake/River and naturally reproduced with the pike that already exist there. This would mean there could be more tiger offspring there.
All of these options are possible and have been documented in other places.
