I know muskie get big and fast, but I have an unlimited supply of fathead minnows, crayfish, and sunfish to use as food.Fisher i would rethink the whole muskie idea. A buddy of mine got a musky and had it in a 125. It was so cool he had it when it was about 4'' long and was the coolest fish. The fish grew like a weed and by the time he was a little over two feet in his pond he was eating non stop i have no idea how much it cost him but it was a lot. He eventually found a guy stocking his private lake with fish and asked him if he wanted it and the guy took it. I have no idea what your planning just be aware they are eating machines.
