I second the idea of putting them in Utah Lake. Here they are spending so much money netting the carp to get rid of them when they could stock 50,000 of these bad boys in there and have them clean it up in no time. Course the tigers can't eat the full grown carp but I think they could put a big enough dent in the younger generation to tip biomass balance in favor of sportfish (and the june sucker[

Still I'd love to hear a biologists opinion on the use of tiger muskies in controlling carp. I know of several lakes in Southeast Idaho that could grow tigers of record proportions if they put a few of em in there to munch on the numberless carp population.[fishon]
