Old Ironmaker Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I tried Musky years ago before they were considered as holy as a Hindu cow. It was not a big one, maybe mid 30's and it tasted like Bass minus the "B". That is a big fish, looks more like road kill than a fresh Musky. Maybe it was in that parking lot when it got hit.

manitoubass2 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah. I felt bad. Hes a good guy and i dont wanna paint him as a bad guy. Still wish he woulda released the fish though. But its his legal right to harvest so what can ya do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 "What can you do?" Say "No thank you" if he asks you over for fish diner. No issues with someone keeping whatever for sustenance but that would be just about last on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with someone keeping whatever for sustenance but that would be just about last on my list. Well i chatted with him last night and he said he ate it. Thats fine as it was a legal catch. But if you seen the pic, it looks like its been outta the water for hours. So I dont really believe he ate it. But thats his call i guess and not mine. Wicked fish though. Gotta be pushing 53" Edited May 23, 2015 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musky666 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Two years back I had a big girl die on me- took the double bladed bait way deep and I couldn't save her. I felt so bad- luckily I was meeting a fellow fisherman later in the day on the lake- I texted him and he said he would eat her. I got 4 big slabs 'o meat off her and he said it wasn't too bad. At least I didn't have to let her drift away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudash Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Worked at a trailer park on Chemong lake near Peterborough 30 years ago and every day I would see people bring them in to eat. I could never figure it out because I was always told you were not suppose to eat them as per my Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outllaw Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 reality check. he ate it. not my choice but it was not wasted..years back we also ate musky. .not exactly a fish I would line up at a dinner for lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) No way to tell other then his word But if im keeping any fish, its gonna be kept cold and alive as long as possible.this fish looked like it had seen better days. It doesnt take long for a fish to turn to mush. And parading the fish in +25 temps doesnt help matters. But if he ate it good enough. Like i said, its legal. I just dont agree with it Edited May 24, 2015 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Last time I saw it.. it looked in pretty good condition. Had been set on the grass and was dirty, but the eyeball was still very defined and fresh looking! I hear they're good steaked ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 First muskie I ever caught was a 36" Kawartha fish that inhaled my lure and didn't make it. We ate it and I have to say it was just like pike... a bit firmer though. But I'll bet a big old fifty would not be all that tasty lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
