RapRunR,

You say your not sure about muskies and what they prefer to eat?
Why would you come to a "mostly muskie" site and bash something that we've work hard to get passed, because you think they are eating your walleyes.

Do your walleyes eat rocks??? They have teeth and are eating machines eating forage fish as well.....only difference between them and the muskies is you walleye people think you have to keep everyone that is 14 7/8" and up, so we stock the living crap out of your PUT AND TAKE species that also eat baitfish right up until they finally are big enough and then they go to the frying pan.

The increase of the muskie size push wasn't because the people who fish for them take them home, it's the fry pan fisherman that catch one by accident and say to themselves, well I already have 3 walleyes that are 14 7/8" to fillet might as well keep this 30.5" hammer handle muskie since they are the reason my favorite hole is fished out, doesn't have anything to do with the people who pound it day in and day out keeping all the walleyes.

I've caught probably 5 walleyes in the last 3 years between 29 and 31.5 inches on muskie lures, normally 10" lures and release them. If I show a picture around at work of it you'd think I committed a sin releasing a walleye that big!!!

10" muskie lure............huh???? You think maybe that walleye was eating forage fish as well?? Trolling 5MPH and hitting a 10" plug...

So tell me why each year new waters and states are stocking muskie in waters they never swam in before.......to keep the junk fish in check!
Not to eat all the gamefish that they have stocked! This isn't joe blow just stocking muskies it's people who do the research and know the problems they are faced with and what to do about it.

If waters are questionable then what happens....tigers are stocked.
Wow! Tigers what a great idea, must of been some research involved there too.
