So I was explaining to my son that tiger trout get pretty big and he asked...how big do they get. I have heard that there are monsters in Schofield and other places, but I have only caught tigers that were little planters up at soup bowl. So I am wondering if your could post your big tiger trout pictures so he can see how big they get. You don't need to tell me any secrets...unless you want to....just help me show him how big they can get.

This is why an experimental amount of tigers should be put in Strawberry.
Since there are already some in there with no apparent side effects what could a few more hurt?
If tigers will keep the chubs at desired levels and the tigers are more desired than the lame cutthroats in the Berry now, I see it as a win/win for everyone.
Since they are sterile and IF they hurt the koke population, just stop planting them.
If this is a bad idea someone please explain?

Personally, if I were to spend any amount of time fishing schofield or strawberry, I would be bugging the dwr for splake....they too would get really big, and personally I enjoy them more than tigers. They also would utilize the chubs as forage...

Now that's a good looking fish. It must have a lot of Brook Trout genes.
Most of the more colorful ones I have caught have been males and they have a real dark belly.
I agree with all that they ought to raise and stock more of them in this state. The problem is, they stock minnow sized fish and they get consumed by the resident fish within a couple of days of the stocking process.

I love catching tigers. Had the best luck through the ice for them. Here is a pic of a pretty good day. These are not huge but a pair of 22"ers on 2 at the same time gets pretty interesting in a hurry. Hope the picture comes through.

This is my largest tiger, a 26" female. It took a big tube jig tipped with rotten nightcrawler.
