Green Lake

I am pretty much a tournament bass fisherman but I did go after tiger muskies on Tapps once. We caught 5 and lost 1. It was pretty fun.
I am curious if anyone targets them in Green Lake?
I know they planted them like 7 or 8 years ago so those things should have some size to them by now.

Green Lake received a one-time plant of 150 tiger muskie fingerlings in 2000. WDFW hoped they would eat Green Lake's carp, but they turned their noses up at the carp and ate the stocked rainbow trout instead. Tiger muskies typically live 6 to 8 years, and WDFW biologists figure 2/3rds of a new plant dies in the first year, and the mortality rate is 33% a year thereafter. Therefore, it's unlikely there's more than 3 or 4 tiger muskies still in Green Lake, and it's quite likely there are none.
