The belly boat. I haven't seen one or heard anyone talk about them since the late nineties.
The Tiger Muskies were a lot to handle. Had my best luck when I'd see one cruising and sight casted, but caught them just broadcast casting at the edge of the shallows where the deep water started. You're right about the net. I hadn't taken that into consideration. My first few trips to this lake specifically targeting Tiger's, I didn't catch any but caught some nice trout. The first one I had on actually pulled me across the lake...before breaking the tippet. The first one I actually got to the belly boat was when I figured out I had a net problem. I had no interest in keeping them, so that made it easier. Sort of. Getting my streamer back out of it's mouth....without dropping my fly rod in the water...wasn't an easy task.
I finally threw my belly boat out last year. The inner tube got slashed on something.
