Tiller, IMO all Muskie and Pike should be catch and release. I killed my first Musky and had a skin mount done years ago and still regret killing that fish to this day and will never kill one again. I love to fish and believe in returning what I'm lucky enough to catch so as they can grow and be caught again possibly bigger. If Wendy and I catch a " Big One " a replica is our way of going. An increase to 45" or larger would be better that 40" though, and one a life time limit
