I have a 20 acre pond in eastern VA with a max depth of 10', and average depth of around 7'. The pond has excellent cover throughout. There's currently largemouth, bluegill, crappie, chain pickerel, and pumpkinseed in the pond. I've been told by two different hatcheries that tiger musky will survive, and its been recommended to stock 1/acre at 10-12". What are yall's thoughts on wether than can handle the water temps in eastern VA, and what affect do you think this stocking would have on my trophy largemouth. The state recommends removing 10 bass/acre/year 12-16". Would the musky help with this? Just curious to your thoughts as I'd love to be able to add these fish if it makes sense. Any feedback would be greatley appreciated.
