Location: Grand Rapids, MI | This is an interesting story, the family eats part of the fish for dinner and is also getting a replica. http://outthere.bangordailynews.com/2013/03/11/fishing/ashland-18-year-old-hauls-in-28-5-pound-muskellunge/

| Cool looking fish, things are clearly behing the times in Maine as far as C.P.R. and such but with the numbers of fish and apparently some potential at size things may turn around as more people get excited about them like that family is. |

Location: 31 | It does seem a little odd that they would know enough to take detailed measurements for a replica, and then unceremoniously eat the fish. |

| Take a look at the comments on the bottom of the page by the "trout crowd". Sounds a lot like walleye and panfisherman here in the Midwest. |

That's comparing apples to oranges. The muskellunge was introduced on purpose or is native to the places the walleye and panfish folks complain and they're a necessary part of the fishery. Out in the NB/maine area they are invasive due to a management mistake. |

Location: Muskegon Michigan | I agree, they cant be everywhere. I still feel a little sad that some people think of muskies as invasive eat everything predators. But hey we have them here in Michigan, Big ones too. Looks like they have them in Maine now like it or not. Ha Ha Ha . |

They are like the asian carp I suppose, I know people in the midwest find their invasion hysterical. BR |

I was unaware of the musky situation in Maine, I assumed they were intentionally planted or maybe re-introduced there like many of the lakes in the midwest. |
