A private 22 acre lake I fished in Ohio introduced 25 tiger muskies to cut down on the 10 - 12 inch LMB numbers. T Muskies did well, average size LMB increased as numbers dropped, and of course the TM offered a thrill on a rod & reel.

Maxed out about 25 lb, I think. One advantage is that they don't reproduce so won't take over. In a 5 acre pond, would guess max size will be lower than 25 lb, but still worthwhile & fun to catch.
