What if......

[Red Childress]

Kinda bored and tired from getting pounded by the wind all day yesterday so here is an extreme "what if" question that could happen but most likely will not....... just for fun............


You are walleye fishing on LOTW/Vermillion/Eagle/Lac Seul/St. Larry or some other big fish factory. As you are reeling in your walleye, a musky takes her from the side. Your partner gets the net and before the musky lets go, she gets scooped up and is in the net. (The musky had no hooks in her face but managed to hold on long enough to get scooped.) This musky is also the new world record.

Does it count?? Even if it technically counted, do you turn it in as the new world record knowing there were no hooks in her face and you were not targeting muskies in the first place?? Could you handle the criticism if your "new world record" was actually caught hanging onto a walleye during a walleye trip??


Let's hear some opinions on this one.
