Location: deephaven mn | i think he is voicing his opinion in support of regular customers who fish walleyes, crappies and sunfish and buy live bait and tackle from him on a pretty consistent basis. His comments however are similar to those of the lake associations people and maybe not as factual as it seams in their minds. He talks about Muskies upsetting the balance and doesn't mention the human part of upsetting the balance which is a greater problem then Muskies. Minnetonka does not have any special regulations or slot limits on walleyes which means that walleye numbers are where the DNR thinks they should be.
Muskies where introduced in Minnetonka as a solution to the small sized sunfish problem. There are millions of adult sunfish that are small. This is a genetic issue. Part of Muskies stocking is one of intent and hope to help reestablish balance in the size of the sunfish. |

| it look like his fb is down lol.guys btw could you stop incensing musky stores,they are not hero they just want to save their business! something pretty natural,not heroic at all ,we would all do the same thing.something that is less normal,they never add a single message about a big co that is rejecting tons of acid and trash of all kind in the water,something a lot more important than stocking musky if you ask me ! no good water no fish,we live in a crazy world |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | I dropped off a reel to be fixed 6 yrs ago in December (just a cleaning and new spring) at this place , and it took 90 days to get it back haven't been back since..
He's entitled to his stance on this issue.... and I really don't think he thought he was in the wrong.
Is he concerned ..? Maybe... Some people don't have very good judgment or Wisdom. |

| I don't watch channel 5 news. How was the question posed to him? If like most TV news questions it was posed to get a reaction.
Was he forced to make a choice to alienate Muskie guys or the rest of the fishing community? |

| I have seen many posts opposing this bill.
Thorne Bros, Team Rhino Outdoors, Musky Mayhem, MuskyFrenzy, Lindners, Musky Tackle Online, Kramer Bros, just to name a few.
I think the Musky community is rallying nicely over this.

Thanks a lot Sled. I just spent 15 minutes watching Jim's best pranks on Dwight... or should I thank the Wayzata bait shop owner? Pun intended.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If you all quack like said duck, you're also being a duck guys. Lots of validity to polarized society, but we won't win over the legislators not already polarized by being ducks.

Do you follow anything not in support of muskies? If not you're only confirming your own bias. Social media problems >>> confirmation bias.

How do you gather that from his post? |

| Geez... It was a question, ya know rhetorical almost based on citing musky lure companies. Good lord.
Personally, I know more people opposed to musky stocking. I'm from Northern MN originally. I don't act like a Richard to them. |

I was pointing out the companies that I have seen take a stand against this Proposed bill on social media.
That's all.
There were a few previous posts questioning whether or not people in the Musky Industry were speaking out.
Not sure what you are getting at.....

Whats a google score and what do I care?
Apparently, you do care, based upon your post.
Let's condense this:
This is a web publication dedicated to muskies, muskie fishing, muskie news and information, and muskie conservation.
This fellow spoke against a continued muskie management plan in MN.
Some of our regulars were offended, and rightfully so. The fellow isn't dense, he knew there would be a reaction from the muskie community and certainly is aware of his reach and influence as a fishing business located in the area.
Some people over reacted with a few comments.
Some others over reacted with comments in response.
Nearly lost in the yelling were a few reasonable, well thought out suggestions as to how one might successfully address the situation.
Some folks then took the entire situation personally, and began looking for a fight.
Everything normal.
At the end of the day, the sport shop owner removed a social media page (or had it removed) and obviously was affected by his underestimation of the response to his interview. Is that fair? Absolutely, one reaps what one sews. Does that mean equally unreasonable and just as ineffective arguments should occur here, when the stated goals above should be of paramount interest and the fellow is not even available here to debate? Probably not, but it seems folks just love a good fight.
Takeaway? This community, generally speaking, is passionate about the sport and will do what is felt necessary to convey that message where and when necessary. Not everyone is well equipped to do so, but everyone wants to speak their mind. Those who are well equipped should be the folks dealing with this sort of misinformation campaign at the levels where it makes a real difference, and I believe that has happened for the most part. All in all a good discussion.
And the little foot lure is hilarious. It's a good thing some of the folks who know nothing about muskies have not seen Lee's barbie doll lure. That one may break a mind or two. Gotta have a sense of humus, or being one who deals in the business of farming information would not be as fruitful.

| Mine was a legit question, still not answered. I don't know what a google score is nor have I ever heard of it until today. So again, how does that score matter and why should I care what it means. |
