Yuck! Muskie's suck to eat. If you catch one please release it. You don't want to eat it, trust me. (Actually never ate one, never would, catch and release only) you did make me look.

Muskies are rare. If there were too many muskies on a lake and food became scarce for them natural selection would take care of the problem.  If the lake holds pike there is very little chance of a moderate musky population because pike and muskies spawn in the same areas but pike spawn earlier. The pike fry hang out in these areas and feed on the younger and smaller musky fry.
If you want to eat an escolid try a pike. They are much more numerous. I don't think that an overpopulation of muskies is very likely but if you know of a lake with this problem let me know and I'll be there and after catching 5 I'll even eat one with you.

I'm not saying the lake I am taking about has got a muskie proplem but i have lived on a lake in Minnesota for 15 years and I am not saying it is a problem but during the last 15 years I have noticed a big differance in the lake and the lake does hold pike but in the past few years I have only seen 2 or 3 pike caught and dozens of muskie and the bass and waleye population has gone down and then again they may have moved to different water but the lake is not that big you would think some how has lived and fished the lake my hole life I would be able to find them. And yes you are correct when they run out of food nature will take over but a lake that only has a few smaller fish and a ton of muskies to me would not be fun but then that my thought about it other people may think just the opposite.

Wow sounds like a "problem" I only dream of. Has this lake been stocked? Or a natural Muskie population on the rise?

this lake has been stocked many times but every time the dnr does there thing they only get very few muskies in there nets but yet we can go out there ice fishing and sit and look down the holes and see a muskie or two every day we are out there. and in the summer we see alot suning and up in the shallow water. It is kind of a cool thing to see but I think they do change the outlook of the lake. (other species)             TJ Bauer
