The "tiger musky" is a hybrid fish, created by biologists to add a gamefish to environments where fishermen want a large, powerful fish to fish for. The tiger musky is a hybrid between two closely related pike species, the northern pike (esox lucius), and the muskellunge (esox masquinongy). The "tiger" in the name comes from the stripes on the fish's flanks. Can grow to thirty pounds, even more.

Has been stocked in many cool water environments, including lakes and rivers in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
