I don't think--not yet. They stocked pure strain about 25yrs ago and they sort of disappeared without any notice or fanfare. The lifespan can be up to 20yrs...I read G&F thinks most were kept mistakenly as pike. I don't know why there wouldn't have been any natural reproduction but again no evidence. I would like to think you're correct and there's a couple coot/cormorant eating beasts lurking about.
