Already have giant gold fish. Saw one swimming just off the dock at Crawling Valley last summer

That's it gonna have to start using the 3-4 inch CIL EXPLO lures.

I believe they stocked Zander in Minnesota.

Serious question, do they taste like our perch?

I'd say anytime we introduce (purposely or otherwise) and invasive species into our watersheds it becomes an issue.

Heck I'd love to catch Muskies, European Perch, etc... but would be very cautious when considering the potential impact to our native species. In fact, we have trouble managing our native species alone. I can't see this being anything but a $#!t show.

Tiger Muskies as a Control species would be amazing. Sterile I believe.

Yup. But their scales are even more tough to clean off.
