I have lived on Lake Tapps now for two years and in the last month, I have had three seperate people tell me that they know someone who has caught Tiger Muskie on Lake Tapps. This is the first I heard about this. Apparently, fish and game introduced a whole lot of non-reproducers about four years ago to clean out the garbage fish and thin the bass and crappie.

Does anyone know if this is true about Tapps?

yes, it is very true. here is a link to a pic......no, not of me.
