[QUOTE="Newgard, post: 54298, member: 1054"] The difference between Pike and Muskies is that Muskies are a very low density predator fish. Where the Pike as we all know are very prolific in their spawning. The combination of having a very low population of fish in the lake along with them spawning last allows all of the other fish chance to prey on them as food when they are young of the year. Although a short window, a window nonetheless. Having these large fish in the system benefits all of the species. They help to keep balance to a ecosystem so they aren't overrun with hammerhandle pike everywhere. I've read studies that outline that lakes with muskies in them have a smaller pike population along with a larger size average. Muskies are good for any system science and data proves it. [/QUOTE]
