Without water temp data there is no way to correctly answer your water temp question. While your area may have a higher average annual temp than the OK lake in the study, elevation also comes into play.

Another thing to think about is how easily is a 10"-12" hammer handle shaped muskie could be slurped down by a 5#-10# LMB?

Many 1# bass to me mean that the lake is LMB stunted. I'd remove 30 of the 1# LMB per acre per year for the next few years.
