Thanks for the words of wisdom, NEDOC! You've given me a lot to think about. I have fond memories of those big TM in Ohio, and they do function as a natural check on excess LMB numbers. I'd have thought pure Muskies would be more heat tolerant than TM, as the NP are cold water fish, but maybe hybrid vigor wins out. Worth looking into, at least.
