Wow!!! Anyone who kills an Eagle Lake musky needs to fish somewhere other than Eagle Lake. I certainly hope you aren't staying at AML because I'm pretty sure Steve & the guides won't like it if a guest takes a legal. Sorry, but that's the way I see it too! Magnificent animals, why would someone want to kill it? Keep the genetics in the lake, and give someone else the chance to experience the thrill of a fishing lifetime.

They need to be 54" to keep anyway (if you have the proper license). Last year, I *could* have kept my 54", but the thought NEVER crossed my mind. In fact, all I could think of was getting her back in the water as quickly as possible after a great fight. I almost bow in honor to that great fish. It wasn't til someone mentioned to me later back home that I could have kept it that I thought, "Holy cr@p, that's right. That WAS a legal musky." If I can let a giant one go, so can everyone else.

Man, I'm kind of angry and sad by this, someone going to the great Eagle Lake with the intent to kill. No offense, but your friend doesn't deserve to be in the presence of the greatness of the Eagle Lake Musky fishery.

What a joke.
