Getting excited for my first try at catching a Tiger. I will be fishing with Ultimate Lodge in Victoria Falls. Bringing my tape measure in case I catch a good one, I can have a fake made. What is the recommended size I should aim for, for a Zambezi Tiger to get a mount made? 10 pounds? 15 pounds? Other.

I'm guessing you have returned from your trip by now.
FWIW I'd consider anything over 12lbs worthy of getting a mount made. I have a 10lb mount and it looks stunning.

I had a 14 lb mount made to match the biggest one that I caught while fishing the Zambezi out of Chifuti's fish camp, Tafika.

i agree- anything over 5 kg is a very nice tiger
