WOW! Interesting on the trolling thing...I wouldn't have thought it would have been defeated by that sound of a margin. But it looks like we were very successful in the 54" size limit though:
Length limit for muskellunge in Lake Michigan waters: 2992 1367 Yes 66 5 1 0
I haven't seen the individual results by county just yet, so the 5 counties that voted NO might have been around the bay. I doubt it however, as (traditionally) I think they've been very supportive.

Hopefully it will finally go into effect this time! Not sure how many times the DNR has to ask this question before they accept it. I guess keep asking until you get the answer you want.
I am happy to see the trolling thing as worded got shot down for now. I really think if they would have worded it differently from the start it would have had a better chance at passing, and cleaning up the regulations as was intended. It should have been limited to one line trolled from the start and then I think there would have been much more support. I would have supported it then.

Dumb question.........is there a summary of the laws that passed this year or any changes that were made. There were a few questions that were proposed the last few years and not sure if they even made it into law.
