That Special fish

[Marc Thorpe]

I'd like to know what folks think are the elements needed to produce a special individual?

 

Why would you classify a particular body of water to potentially produce a unique individual?

 

What Forage species do you muskies eat the most?

Even though education of the species your fishing is great and can only improve your odds I think luck has a lot to do with it to.

 

I like water bodies that have low fishing pressure or none at all would be nice the size of the water body I think would up the odds of a unique fish, the amount of bait fish or forage, a body of water with numerous and large spawning areas that the species require to reproduce, a body of water where the limit to consume is low or 100% release would be even better.

 

Good question Marc, I think all these new diseases need to be contained or somehow controlled as well or it could destroy a body of water in no time.

A good steady food supply with out a lot of effort to catch it. I don`t know how particular a muskie would be, top of the food chain, everything else is food. I do think they would rather chase 1- 3 pound walleye than a hundred Emerald shiners. Food supply and food size during the entire life cycle gives them an advantage.

 

LOL look at people today less hunter - gatherers fatter people. More time eating less time tracking down food.

Every fish is special!

 

I would say Yellow Perch, Walleye, and Ciscoe would make up a large portion of a Muskys diet depending on the body of water.
