Take care of our muskies

   I am greatly frustrated! While fishing on an area lake I watched a fisherman boat a muskie. It really concerned me how he treated the fish. He had the fish hanging on the side of his boat in a net while he found his pliers to remove the hook. Then he placed the fish on the bottom of the boat for pictures. 

   What really bothered the heck out of me is that when releasing the fish he just threw the fish back in and didn’t even try to revive the fish. Shortly after he had seen that I was watching the whole ordeal he left the area. I then proceeded to the fish that was belly up and brought it back to life after 20 minutes. 

   Please respect our fish and do your part to keep our fish alive for the next generation of musky anglers.
