I have heard from my father-in-law that a lake that he lives on is stocked with Tigers. He has been saying it for a couple years now, and I recently heard from another person in the area the same thing. So I am wondering how I can find out if this is true, and how many, and for long they have put them in there.
They are a series of smallish lakes, connected to one larger 120-ish acre lake, that are completely private and have no access other than by association members. I can only imagine that they were advised by someone to rid themselves of overpopulated bluegills and bass, and this would help…but who knows
Anyhow, if there is any resource for this, I would be greatful
There are many permits issued for private pond/lake fish stocking every year following established protocol of disease and restricted list fish. In pass years I know of two persons that brought in illegal grass carp for their ponds falsely listed as catfish from southern states (pre Asian carp). The Feds and states have clamped down hard on that practice.
So after contacting a few people I have found that they planed 300 tigers in this lake, and had also done so 5 years ago. So my next question is how fast do they grow??? I was under the assumption that they grow faster than pure strains, but I have not seen a growth chart to give me any other ideas. Anyhow, how old do you think a 5 yr old (so next season 6 yr old) tiger would be???
I'm kinda excited about targeting these fish because I can almost gaurantee they have never seen anything but bass lures
