I can’t find that one either!

Here is the gist of the research: Cain’s research conclusion was that muskies will move immediately after being caught. Deeply caught ones move shallower and vice versa. Most traveled at least 1 mile after release. They followed these fish around with radiotelemetry and when they stopped traveling, the crew would shut down the boat and sneak up and try to catch it. After the first cast, some of the fish moved to the other side of the lake.....and move shallow or deep depending on where they were last caught.

Note: Just to clarify.....At no time did I say ALL muskies moved immediately or that all muskies moved. I think the article said “most” or “many”.

Another facet of the study dealt with trolling motor/electronics noise spooking fish away. IIRC, this was also proven to happen.....the pinging of the graph and the spinning of the trolling motor did have negative effects on the fish.

That’s it. Tired of typing.
