Location: minocqua, wi. | smellie ... i was stating BenR's schtick, i should have made the context known, my bad. he speaks from a point of view on any and all subjects and is consistent.
that was the point i was intending to make ... my apologies.
good news is it's pouring up here today!!
i have to drive into 100 degrees down to the flatland for a couple days, hopefully will return to a calmer northern wisconsin.
it's too hot out there and has been for me since july 11th in N. Wisconsin ... |

There is a good possibility that the Eagles picked a live, but recovering fish from the water as well. Perhaps we should thin out the Bald Eagles to benefit the muskie fishery. H |

| I think we can put this topic to rest until Summer of 2013 and it will come up again. And nothing will have changed. Carry on.

This post is classic. Start a memorial:-) Seriously it is a fish. If you feel bad donate a few dollars towards stocking. H
i agree 100%. some people just think that if a fish doesn't make it, they have to quit the sport and say 100 hail Mary's or they are going to hell. Fact is, some fish don't make it when conditions are perfect either. Remember, we are driving multiple treble hooks into its face and gill's. If you are that concerned maybe this isn't the right sport. I always do everything i can for the fish, and am lucky i haven't had a floater yet in my 7 years but it will happen eventually. |

That you know of.
People pass (If you believe in an afterlife ). Fish and other animals die.
When you stick big sharp metal points in a fish, sometimes they don't make it. Feel bad about it. Or accept that it can and will happen. And then throw another cast. Or don't. Edited by Shep 7/25/2012 9:15 AM

Location: Eau Claire, WI | My name is Jono.
Muskies have died as a result of my muskie fishing.
Two that I know of, and some that I don't.
I did my best with every one to ensure a good release.
Sometimes it happens. It's OK.
Keep casting.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Everyone is entitled to a point of view, and most have offered it reasonably. I don't like fishing muskies when the water is too warm. Had a heck of a time finding water under 80 last night.Points so far:
1) A nice fish was CPRd and it died. Water in the bay was warm. Did it die from the warm water? No one can say.
2) The angler thinks warm water contributed to the demise of the fish and feels bad. Happens.
3) The fish died, and that's too bad. Fish do die from post capture stress and injury and that's part of Muskie angling
4) Most serious muskie anglers do their best to minimize post capture mortality in our muskie fishing.
5) Everyone already knows the water is warm and extra care needs to be taken, some won't fish at all, some will seek out cooler waters and find it despite the hollering to the contrary by a couple folks. Some will continue to fish which is perfectly legal, and not every fish they catch will die. Some will.
6) As usual, those who are accomplished role models will influence those who are uneducated on the subject positively, and those who think a sledge hammer will work will fail to influence anyone and draw out the inevitable reactions that approach always brings.
7) Everything normal!
I appreciate the fact Dan posted the story. Reinforces the fact we need to take care when the water temps are up in the 80 degree range. Apply that information as you wish personally. |
