A relationship based on 27 populations of tiger muskie from 9 states was used to develop a specific equation for tiger muskie and computed that c = 0.00008035 and b = 3.337. [15] This relationship predicts that a 84 cm (33 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 4.5 kg (10 lb) , and a 120 cm (47 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 14 kg (30 lb).
The musky is highly prized, so much so, that in 1955 it was officially named the state fish of Wisconsin. [2] The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has named Potato Lake as one of the state's class A1 musky waters, [3] which means that the lake may harbor trophy-sized muskellunge. The minimum length requirement for a legally caught ...

Fellows Lake is managed cooperatively by City Utilities of Springfield and the Missouri Department of Conservation. [1] The lake is also developing into one of the state's premier fisheries of Muskellunge.

The lake is popular among anglers, particularly for its muskies, some longer than 40 inches, along with bass, panfish, perch and walleye. [4] Dropoffs near the shore provide deep water refuge; the lake is up to 30 feet deep, with the south end being shallower. [4] There is a single public boat ramp at the southern end of the lake.
Bankson Lake has a depth of up to 42 feet (13 m) and is well stocked with sport fish, including walleye and Muskies. [4] There is a good population of native purebred Muskies as well. It has been one of Southwest Michigan's premier source lakes for Female musky eggs, which are then crossed with northern pike milt to produce hybrid Tiger Muskies.
