Nice catch and beautiful tiger. Please keep the lake secret! I don't know which one it is but too many great fisheries get ruined by those who do no work to find a place on their own. It takes work to find a good fishery and to learn how to fish them. Amazing spots should be protected with secrecy and only shared with discretion.
I usually don't do this but I am wondering if posting that this would be an almost 12 lb fish is a joke? There is no way that fish has a 19" girth and there is no way that fish is even close to 10 lbs. I would give a very favorable weight of 8 lbs but probably closer to 7lbs (even though that rainbow in its stomach may add a lb or so).
My buddy and I landed 4 tigers between 23-26 inches on Friday at a well-kept secret location and all were fat as can be but the largest was still under 6 lbs. The girth on the fattest was just under 13"s. The fish in the picture may have a girth of 16"s but probably closer to 14". Not trying to bust bubbles but claiming a likely 7.5lb fish to be almost 12 lbs is a little too much. If you want to see what a real 8-10lb tiger with a 18-19" girth looks like, you should look at some recent past posts.
Still a beautiful fish and a larger tiger than I have ever nabbed.
