guys.. on the positive end. 95.4 of all muskies are released on lsc. the last population check. 180.000 fish. dnr mich survey. they make babies. . forage base is very strong. . negative side would be a permit to keep. we all know that's a governmental slippery slope.,pay for tags etc. moniter cost,s.we have over 3 million potential users of this fishery. yes we see this being exposed,but for food values amongst ethnic groups. well I like perch/walleyes. is there someone to tell me I cant enjoy a meal. while I personally don't agree on harvesting muskies I do value thefreedoms to eat a fish under my fishing licence rules.... I .... I have sat in a meeting with mnr biologist and he stated theres actually too many in lsc... the greatest concerns here are vhs... habitat pollution/sewage and such. I just wish we had more concerted efforts on the bigger prize,the afore mentioned.
