Probably won't turn out too well in the future.

"Tiger muskie are unable to reproduce. They are a hybrid between muskellunge and northern pike, neither of which are native to Arizona. They are more common "in the Midwest and Northeast."

Hubris.  Life finds a way

(lol my boy is going thru Jurasic Prk phase)

At some point, in a 4 acre lake, I hope some stray “gotta take a swim it’s so hot”  youth doesn’t lose his junk in the shallows...

2-3 acres, depending on the time of year, and it's so hard to get to ("high clearance vehicles are strongly recommended") that nothing about this makes sense.

How many stocked fish are not "meat-eating"? Tiger musky are a popular game fish, so why not stock them? They already have lakes in AZ with northern pike, so what's the big deal? A strange article for sure...
