Many comments about having the right to do what one chooses, not criticizing others for their choices, etc. So please, nobody judge me when I fish in 85 degree water temps this summer and post photos of fish from said water while holding them vertically.


You really should consider the health of the fish in conditions like this. It is vitally important when you do catch one in these conditions that you put sunscreen on them.

If you do decide to measure a fish under 40", do it when no one is watching. If you feel the need to share, do so in a support group, the breakdown can be helped by people who care.

I honestly think some lakes have too many muskies in them.  I am after one big fish, I don't really care about numbers of nice fish anymore.  The less numbers of fish in a lake allows for the potential for a muskie to grow bigger in said lake.  A lot of lakes that I have fished in the past have a lot of nice fish in them but nothing crazy big.  I water realease my small fish to make sure that upper 50" class has something to eat...kidding of course.  I actually water release most of my fish no matter the size....I've handled enough of them already.

I don't even bother setting the hook on any fish that doesn't feel mid 40's...
