I would never eat a muskie but I do know people who would and they are only a fish if you want to look at it in dollars then bass should be c/r before and above muskie..far more money generated from bass the fishing industry of today was built on bass tourneys....god don't eat a bass we need big ones

yeah but the average guy that would want to eat a muskie would catch one or 2 a year... dead this year from eating 2 how many would you catch a year, lots of guys claim over 100 and the guys that guide who boat hundreds a year..15%.. you do that math oh and make the check out to cash thanks

I will bet my pay check, that someone who just want to have a meal of muskie and not for the sport of catching as many as possible, they will kill far less then you..you can argue c/r all you want but every study states the there is a mortality rate when fish are caught and released.....lots of people fish for a meal they catch there fish and go home, they don't say let just get one for for a photo one more for a paying customer .. it's easy to say c/r for muskie because it doesn't affect your fishing or your pocket book...sure be a good conservationist and don't eat muskie, easy for you but you are asking people to suffer or change their lives, if there are not many big ones then you should do your part and refrain from fishing for them.. yes lets take the high road and ban fishing for them completely..be a good citizen a good conservationist . it's easy to say let do something when it doesn't affect you...isn't it

So why would you have c/r and why would Eating a muskie is not a valid argument, I don't put one fish above another, why would you see fit to make this what seems to be very bias statement have you every tasted muskie hello it's a fish

I thought you were going to tell me how to store them, not ask the question how to store spinner rigs/worm harnesses implies you know how do you store spinner rigs/worm harnesses is a question even how to store spinner rigs/worm harnesses? would help I am not putting you down or complaining just pointing out how many times I go to a thread and by the subject expect one thing , only to find it is something else.....

well I often see bass still on their beds when season opens, now a week earlier, I will be some on their beds every year....good...bad or who care......I don't know muskie there are people who really like the other white meat and do make a point of keep muskie to eat sometimes I think it would be better to let them keep a small one rather then killing a 54" muskie to eat...but who knows

ok maybe I am not following the info right downrigger goes on the back of the boat has heavy steel cable planerboard mast has string/vinyl rope and goes on the front of the boat in the middle of the front deck many people will run a downrigger for deep fish and a planerboard for shallow, at the same time how would all the function if it was one unit or am I missing something

I think you would be better off looking at garage sales for a real used fishfinder I think a string with a weight on the end would give you more info then cheap finders

Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know

I didn't need to see that

GPSMAP76CS or CSx great units lots around at real good prices and a very lot selection of maps are available from the internet

done like dinner

fan-damn-tastic great report

so as long as you don't panic(I am sure most people wouldn't panic) as long as there is no undertow as long as there are no big rocks to beat you up or know you out, tree to get stuck under or a major waterfalls to fall over ( note to self, don't fish on the high side of Niagara falls) your good to go and enjoy the trip down the river LO got it

wonder if they have to pay for rescue services

Wonder if the pool you jumped in had a current to pull you down stream or an undertow to flow into your waders to drag you down... You see, it's just basic physics. your waders in clam water is not a problem but in a fast flowing river they became a driftsock, a parachute and same for taking them off while still in the water..try it in a current..... of course if you have the openings completely closed it would not be an issue just saying, life doesn't always work out as school teaches us

you have done more then enough for her I think if you do more for her, you will really be doing it for your own peace of mind not hers it was not your fault you feel bad about the dog...time to move on oh and check your vehicle for damage, she will be responsible for damage, not you....

I have a pflueger patriarch and I am very happy with it I like it better then my SHIMANO CI4 1000..which I have no complains ..but the pflueger is a little nicer...IMO every company can make a bad batch

outstanding intro welcome aboard

it's exclusive because it has a mercury switch LOL someone will find that funny even if it's only me LOL

please show us the regs/law that states that, other then on roadways

yup at the fly-ins and drive-in fishing trips I have been on, when they have a Naden boat or two, they are always the most requested boat..so people request the other boats like crestliner or lund but when they see the naden in action they want to use one of them we try to get one every time..just so much more stable and drier then any of the other boats

a good top and make all the difference in lousy weather, looks good

wow, that is crazy

I like this guy The best on the Big O
