TubeDude - I meant to have discussions and educate. The pot needs to be stirred, or it goes stagnant. If this site is to sing kumbaya and try to keep everybody happy, I am in the wrong place. Appreciate your wishing me luck, but luck has little to do with fishing for musky.
Polokid - thanks for listing the alternatives available instead of taking the fish out of the fishery, I failed to do so. If this post enlightens just one other, as this board did for you a couple of years ago...our fishing systems just got better.
JacksonLaker - Musky can live up to 30 years. The world record Tiger Musky ( I believe) came out of Wisconsin in 1919: 51 lbs, 3 oz., the world record musky was 69 lbs, 11 oz, also out of Wisconsin. Both of these fish were harvested, due to a lack of conservation knowledge. The philosophy has now changed, with some lakes moving the minimum keep size to 50". Fish being harvested is in the 1-2% category. It us just not done "up north" (where probably most of you would like to see m go back to, however I am here for the foreseeable future).
How large is the biggest musky in pineview?...anybody's guess but I would think there is a couple 40+lbers.
The age of a musky can be determined by measuring the Cleithrum, the large bone that extends from the base of the pectoral fin and forms the posterior edge of the gill chamber. This bone is used to determine the age of some fish (for example, muskies and northern pike) because each year the fish's body adds a new layer of bone.
There is an urban legend about a 70+" musky being shocked at pineview a couple of years ago.
Fishstalker - the legality was never the issue, my issue is the future. It has taken Wisconsin and Minnesota about 40 years to recover from the harvesting of musky and pike that occured up until the 1960's. Quote from George Santayana (16 December 1863 in Madrid, Spain – 26 September 1952 in Rome, Italy), a philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist:
Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes
To the musky catch and keep crowd: Check out the alternatives...being able to say you caught and released a big one, and is still alive today, ready hit tomorrow...is awesome... then go try and catch it again with your kids or grandkids.
Fish on.
