I realize that this is something of a thread revive and hijack, but has anyone considered raising and selling LCS for the Musky bait market?
In the Fall in the upper midwest, fishing for Musky with live suckers in in 10"-14" range is pretty common. Bait shops sell suckers for $6-$8 each. From what I gather, most of these are white suckers netted or trapped from the wild. With the spread of VHS and other diseases, it's possible that one of the big Musky states like Minnesota or Wisconsin will clamp down on shipments of wild fish. When that happens, somebody able to produce Musky sized sucker type fish from a hatchery environment could make a tidy penny.
Most of the information currently out there on LCS stocking focuses on use as LMB forage, rather than on quickly producing and catching LCS in the 10"+ size range.
