hi ya ironworker , we have a few lakes here in central mi . that have a few of the tiger strain in them . first ya gotta have a hole big enough to gaff them thru . 10" at least . the gaff is cheaper and easier to make than buying one , plus with all your new free time you can do some carving on it while you wait for the fish to hit .
broom handle , drill two 1/4" holes an 1-1/2" apart and a three foot 1/4 steel or brass rod from the hardware .
put your first bend at the thickness of the broom handle , second bend 1-1/2 inch up from the first bend , keep the rod flat between both bends , incert into the holes with the long lenth of rod coming out the bottom hole . bend it down so it continues strait down , put another bend about 6" up and your gaff is done , it wont wabble or move .
use the biggest chub minnows you can find and a sturdy tip up in the deepest part of the lake , that tiger will find you soon .
bow hunt myself , pretty good too! do you black powder as well ?
