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!

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.
