Subject: Length of time to digest

Anyone know how long it takes a 36 inch musky to digest a "meal", like a 12-14 inch sucker in 75 degree water? How about 45 degree water?

Nope, don't know the answer....... but I do know what it would take to figure it out. We'd have to know the calorie value of a sucker and the metabolic rate (calories/hour) for a musky under your specified conditions.

I posted some info on another thread about this very subject (metabolic rate).... you may want to check it out.

If you crunch the numbers.... let us know what you find out.
