Based the the use of caps it appears you may be yelling at me as I may have offended you. It was not my intention to do so.
I stated my opinion.It is my practice not to take a fish out of water to remove a lure or photo op under warm weather/water conditions. I started fishing for skis almost 40 years ago. Long before Kinkaid, I've seen musky fisheries survive and fail.Education and common sense will prevail and keep fish healthy and growing for others.
I think you need to reread my post, chill out, or consider anger management counciling.
Be cool
Well, risking a pissing fight...we often talk about 80 degrees as a benchmark. No doubt in the Fall when surface temps fall just below 80 the water below the surface maybe significantly warmer. But yesterday I made my first intended muskie outing of the year. The water was 69/70 in the morning at sunrise and went to 74 before I was done. Because I fish by myself and I'm not that interested in a bunch of pictures, the two fish I caught were netted, but never left the water.
There is a serious design flaw in fish.
The need for oxygen increases with
increasing water temperature, but
availability of oxygen decreases with
increasing temperatures since the solubility
of oxygen decreases when temperatures
rise.
Surface temps below 80 aren't asignificant change as water temps 10-15 below surface are not going to change as quickly as surface temps. As posted bass fishing was slow. IMHO the reason is obvious.
