Brian, I'm sure you can equate the gators with the musky up here as being the dominanat predator fish. They must not be able to handle cold weather well, and the numbers of locks and dams on the Mississippi have limited their northward migrations past MO and So. IL. Btw, if you ever want a second opinion on your pond call 800-442-6648 and someone would stop out sometime.
