Location: tHe LaKe Of PrIoR, mN | $$$ eleventysevenhundred dollars !!!! With the amount I have paid over the years I think a made up number will best suffice.
I don't think I could even figure it out per fish maybe per year maybe?
cost of cigs and booze is nothing... I warn buddies if you decide you like muskie fishing and start the addiction its cocaine expensive  |

| Just to clarify, I count all of the thousands of dollars that I've spent so far on Musky Hunting as money well spent. Since I started chasing muskies, I've made some really good additional friends, had some absolutely great vacations, and enjoyed many, many, hours fishing with my family and friends. My son and I have also created several new musky hunting addicts like ourselves.
Out of all the past-times and hobbies that I've ever had, Muskie Hunting is the most enjoyable by far. Even more of an adrenaline rush than having a sure hand in texas hold-em and a pile of money on the table. Counting the cost per fish is just one of the goofy things that I would do when I'm bored at work. I've tracked cost per mile on toyota trucks, mileage on pairs of running shoes, and other useless calculations.
Almost everything I've tracked has made me discover simple truths such as: Toyotas are incredible trucks that are definitely worth the initial monetary investment, New Balance running shoes hold up very well even under high mileage, and Muskie Hunting is worth every red cent and every minute that I've spent on it.

Location: Muskegon Michigan | Since 2006 we have looked hard at ways to cut costs. The problem is it ends in in less fish caught because we fish the small lakes closer to us using a much smaller boat and tow car. Being 4 hours from Lake St. Clair or the Upper peninsula means we spend a fortune pulling our bigger boat ANYWHERE. Today that is the main cost we have to deal with. Gas prices have just plain slowed us down. You cant spend the house payment on gas and credit cards only have so much room. I got two fish yesterday 35 and 37 inches. I used about 8 gallons of gas getting to the lake and back with my little car. The boat is a 1448 Sea Ark Jon. The car a Chevy Aveo. About 30 bucks. That came to 15.00 per fish. Mike |

Location: Germantown, WI | I started to think about it and had to stop quickly... started feeling a little sick....better not to think of things like this.... just happy that i get to chuck baits around once in while!
it also reminded that i should feel bad that i was lecturing my wife last week about how many dresses she has been buying lately ( and she looks great in them) and she even doesn't throw back the $ i spend on boat, rods, lures back in my face (while my ugly mug just makes my boat look better when i'm standing next to it).
