Hahah,natural born killers.Hey,funny that there not natural!!These are man made correct?
This is from a Musky site. The tiger musky is the result of eggs from a female musky fertilized by a male northern pike. Tigers share some physical characteristics with each parent. The tiger musky has irregular light vertical markings on a dark background, 5-7 pores on each side of its lower jaw, and scales on the lower part of the operculum.
Hybridization occurs naturally and is increasing in lakes that contain both species. Male hybrids are always sterile, but females may be fertile. Tiger muskies have been artificially hybridized in Wisconsin hatcheries since 1940. The world record Tiger was caught in 1919, 21 years before they were ever man made.

I don't believe they do, tiger muckie are hatchery bred and released into the wild. Nice looking fish either way.
Yes they are produced in the wild, please read my post from earlier today.
