    Posted · Edited by marc thorpe

    Umm... i tried to tell you this Marc... but you wouldn't listen

     

    Seeing that I am now the official Muskie expert here.....

     

    ..... casting is for losers.... :o

     

    oh ya and where did you learn to divide..... I thought muskie fishermen couldn't get past grade 5.

    (watch it start now!! :blahblah1: )

     

     

    I got Schooled alright

    Hey so I went a little lean on the cost of gas :whistling:

    Ya dont want me to frighten the poor lad :w00t:

     

    Grade 5!!!!

    I thought it all ended in grade 3

    Well man,theres 5280 feet per mile

    with an average cast of 125 feet multiplied by 10 000 cast and divided by 5280 feet per mile

    You"ll have to troll 236.74 miles with an average of 3 miles per gallon,that will cost you 80$ in fuel :D

     

    So ya wanna catch a muskie eh :w00t:

     

    Look on the bright side,its better than trolling the couch :Gonefishing:

    eating fish no matter the species is a heritage,if we go to much to the left and right we might just loose our rights to fish and consume our catch

    CNR is good but its not the total answer,did not see the pic but man ,I see no reason not to post a fish you kept for what ever reason,its fine with every other species

    They have not inventented drop em and walk em away hunting yet

    I am always astounished by the remarks by those in which Catch and Release was handed to them on a silver platter,the new experts :rolleyes:

    I have eaten muskies and they are as good as any species although much larger specimens contains more toxins,eating one wont kill you anymore than breathing in the the smog air

     

    Post mortal release averages 20 to 28% for the most part,for those that handle fish commonly we are talking 50 or more fish might and I say might be bewteen 5% and 8%

    Truth of the matter is it has nothing to do, if little to do with handling but more so with the individual fish's physical health and form,thats my observation

     

    Nelly what ever the pic,you should be proud of your capture

    I congradualate you

     

    To say some protect a fish but turn a blind eye to witnessing the possibilities of someone getting hurt

     

    If you think your rights are not being chipped away by some corporations

    Microsoft is not alone

    Tony and Marty and Ed in closing I leave you on these words by Green Day of course

     

    Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

    Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

    So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

    It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

     

    It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

    I hope you had the time of your life.

     

    So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

    Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

    Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

    For what it's worth it was worth all the while

     

    It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

    I hope you had the time of your life.
