Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
I'm hopeful this is not a common issue, but I'm sure it happens from time to time.
I can remember fishing tonka one afternoon/evening and headed in where a guy had caught a 34" muskie and kept it. He thought the fish was over 20 pounds and a legal fish to harvest. The guy didn't know the regulations, nor did he seem to have any semblance of size/weight. To him it was a big big fish...
Education plays a huge roll and people are expected to know the regs... Pays to read every year. Hoping the gentleman in the article understood the mistake and has learned to identify legal fish to harvest.

I would guess in bodies of water where Tigers are common that it happens more often. |

I'd say so! m |

| It's a shame that it happens, but I heard they taste like bald Eagle. |
