Fyi everyone I did a little reading last night and it appears female muskie live longer and get bigger. If I were to only stock 2 female they would have resources to get huge correct? In which case the both of them in a couple years they both could have a almost bass specific diet? According to an article I read muskie will eat fish up to 1/3 of there body size. In which case even if I happened to grow two ginormous 55 inch muskie the biggest bass the would eat would be in the 2.5 to 3 pound range. But since I only have 2 muskie they wouldnt be eating alll the small and medium lmb. So I could still have some easy youngster lmb to catch but also due to a thinned population some good 4 and 5 pounders. What do you guys think of this plan? Also would a 9 acre lake be able to support enough 4 to 5 pound bass that them getting lure shy wouldnt be a big deal as long as I dont fish for them all the time right?
