Anyone ever tell non muskie fisherman that muskies are poisonous to humans? Have my Co workers convinced that they are cause everyone of them asks me how they taste after seeing the pictures of the fish.

Full of bones and Toxic levels of Mercury is what I tell people when they invariably ask why I don't keep them for eating.
I use the "Top of the food chain" mercury concentration and the story of a coworker who got mercury poisoning from an all Canned tuna fish diet to back it up if needed.

So short answer, Yep Sure do...

Mercury, PCBs, PDBEs, agricultural pesticides and herbicides, etc, are all concentrated in fish at the top of the food chain. Harvestable muskies may be decades old, and that's a lot of time to accumulate these toxins.

Besides, most of these things taste bad, too... or so I hear.

It is the most asked question she I show customers a picture. I tell them you can eat them but we fish them for sport, there are not that many in the lake and it takes them a long time to grow to that size. That seems to click immediately.

I use the cow analogy for the people at my work.
Do you want to eat a 20 year old cow?
Or a 1-2 year old cow?

Everytime someone asks me how muskies taste I always reply, "Well I have never eaten one, but I hear that they taste just like Bald Eagle".

The Wisconsin DNR just put out the new guide on eating fish. Don't eat muskies!
