Took the boat out for the first trip of the year. Went up to Pineview looking for some Tigers. I did not expect much with it being so early in the year and the water still cold. I did manage to catch 3 small Tigers and lost 2 others. I spent the first half the day probing the shallows with no sign of life except for the carp. The water is low and 45 degrees lake wide. I marked a whole lot of fish in 15 to 20 feet of water. All the Tigers I got into were pulled out of 15 of water off Cemetary point and very inactive. They fought about as good as reeling in a wet sock!!!!!!! Should get better as the water warms and submerges some cover for all the fish.
Oh yes more more thing. Here is a short video of how not to handle a Tiger Muskie! And yes my hands were bleeding afterwards!!!!!
