Ok heres the report from Newman. I took my wife Melodie and we fished the west side of the lake, the weather was clear,water temp was 75,no wind. We had fished for about 2 hours when she casted on one side of the dock and i happened to cast the other when we actually hooked up on two Tigers at the same time. She faught her fish while i was able to fight mine and grabb the net. After netting hers she was able to manuver the net so that i could land mine to. As soon as mine hit the net it threw the hook and luckily came off in the net. I wouldnt suggest putting 2 Tigers in the same net. So we quickly measured mine since it was already unhooked and took a quick photo. As we were measureing the first fish the second fish deceided to alligator roll itself up in the net making things worse. After cutting the line and finally getting the hooks out we were able to measure her fish and take a quick picture also. The weird part of this story is on the same cast we caught and released 2 Tigers that were both 32"x12 girths(twins). I dont know how many of you know how hard it is to catch Tigers but to actually catch 2 at the same time is not only stressful but very caiotic. This was Mels first tiger and i think she has the fever now lol. And to the people out there i already here you this is not a fish story lol. Good luck everyone.

Fantastic! I am very impressed! Info on this fish is hard to come by. To catch one is a honor. Two on at the same time.I am not worthy! Congratulations.

Hail to the "Golden Touch Dowdy's" catchers of the elusive Tiger Muskies. I'm green with envy, what a classic fish story. Are you willing to adopt a 52 year old fishing junkie? Great job, looking forward to your upcoming book release 'Craig, Mel and the Tiger that didn't get away".
