Completely agree. Older generations weren't educated on the benefits of C & R or selective harvest, but we are. Its a shame that anyone would take a musky to eat it, especially the bigger sizes. After fishing many northern wisconsin lakes, canadian lakes, and minnesota lakes, I have caught and seen so many more 50 inch musky in canada and minn, but majority of my time is spent in wisconsin. Coincidence.....don't think so. When Canada Implemented the 54 inch minimum, the musky fishing has gotten better every year. IMO, its just selfish to keep a fish that could end up creating so many more memories for future generations by catching that fish again along with the spawn that fish will produce year in and year out. Don't mean to start anything, its just hard to believe with so many great eating fish like walleye, northern, and panfish that people actually eat musky. We all know thats what the older generations did and were taught, but that doesn't make it right.
