Have not been able to get out the past few weeks-vacation, fantasy football, work & family stuff has had me hog tied.
I was able to take a few buddies from my FFL out on YANDA for some salmon/trout fishing recently-caught a monster bass hangin out with the salmon & trout in about 60' of water suspending in a about 20'... just weird. Will post of photo of that whale later on this post.
Anyway as we were heading back into the ramp I spotted a large pickerel 28-30" (as I had thought) so I cruised over to check it out. Well it had vertical bars & looked to be a TIGER, THIS I AM CERTAIN.
Now YANDA had stocked tigers many moons ago & it was thought that all were gone but apparently his is not so. Either someone is dumping them in there illegally or the supposedly sterile hybrids are not so sterile (ALA JURASSIC PARK).
I fish YANDA a real lot & have never seen or heard a Musky getting caught there since the FLOCK OF SEAGULLS were on the charts & I HAD HAIR ON TOP OF MY HEAD & NOT GROWING OUT OF MY EARS.
This sounds like a case of illegal stocking which seems to be on the rise with MUSKY & BRIDS. Anyone seen this happening elsewhere? I just hope that nobody is dumping in bullsharks because I like to take an occasional swim on night trips!
