I have had one, many moons ago. They grow very fast mine i got as a fingerling which means that it is 4 inches or under. Mine got 18 inch in less than a year. He was released into a farm pond that had a severe bluegill problem needless to say i see him everyonce and a great while in this pond and its very large over 4 feet and cannot be caught by anyone who fishes that pond. So he has a home for life it would be about 10 years old now.

I've been to a hatchery that breeds them. The the little fingerlings are so tiny but get so big in no time. I'd love to have one but I don't have a tank the size of an RV.

Yeah it's mind blowing. I think a tank at least 3 ft wide and twelve feet long would be minimum, maybe more. I have seen juvie muskies for sale, but I know the mortality rate is high. Someone tried to trade one in the other day at the store, couldn't understand why the store or the employees wouldn't want it.
umm, depends what you call a pikeral. Walley can get up to 3 feet, on the VERY VERY large side of things, and pikeral (esox) mostly stay between 19 and 26 depending on the exact species

Redfin pickerel (Esox americanus americanus) and Grass pickerel (Esox americanus vermiculatus) will get no more than 12" usually.
Chain pickerel (Esox niger) can get three times that size.
