Location: Hayward, WI | Not sure if theese are old pics, but I had not seen them. Email I got said it was from Minnatonka this past weekend. Measured 53". That is a muskrat tail sticking out of its mouth, got it half way swallowed and appears to have choked on it.

Location: oconomowoc, wi | thats pretty neat. sux the fish expired. reminds me of a time on the Chip around cranberry bar. two full size ducks swimming out from our boat about two cast lengths away. all of a sudden there was ONE duck swimming around wondering what happened to her friend. these were full grown hen mallards. sure would have liked to see that fish! |

how do you guys think a muskrat stamp might work? i propose you only make it the cost of a musky bait and then we could all go kill the muskrats that are killing our muskies!! ... i know just getting the stamp would make me feel good.
would the DNR support this or should i just write my congressman?? |

| Those are from last year. A DNR agent took them after the fish was found on a Twin Cities lake (it was not Tonka)...
