I saw a Tiger Musky chomp down on a large, maybe 2-3LB SM, on the surface a
few years ago on Lake Nockamixon, PA. It ripped it apart.

Tigers will follow the lure to the boat and hit at the last second. My
advice is to retrieve the lure right to the boat, then swirl it around a
little, maybe drag it in a circle once before pulling it out of the water.
Hold onto your rod when the line is short.

I've also noticed then looking at me during the fight occasionally. Creepy!

There is a small lake near my home I fish alot. It has tons of
small
Largemouth bass (8 to 14 inches). It also has some nice size tiger
musky.
I
think the Fish commission stocked the Tiger Musky to controll the bass
and
sunfish population. Do Tiger Muskies eat small bass? If so, would a
bass
colored lure be effective on Musky? Just wondering these weird things
while
its snowing (again). Maybe someday it will actually be good weather for
fishing, but I'm not counting on it.

Muskies will eat small bass, heck, muskies will eat larger bass too if
they
can fit them in their mouth!

Bass colored lures can be very effective on muskies. Secret Weapon now
makes a spinnerbait in "Baby Bass" color that I'm thinking will be very
effective on toothy critters, especially in clearer water lakes.
