[QUOTE="MuskyManiac, post: 43589, member: 381"] That is a ridiculous comparison, musky are fresh water fish, and like I said it is the fastest growing segment of freshwater fishing today...not some "fetish" as you say. Just because you don't like to fish for musky doesn't mean others wouldn't like the opportunity in their home state where we pay taxes just like you. The G&F can manage for more than just deer and walleye! I'm fine starting with smaller lakes, but they have to have to have the right structure and forage to sustain the fishery. If you think musky is going to hurt your walleye population you're just plain wrong. I've been hearing the same, stale argument for years, and the research is there to disprove that. Some of the best musky lakes in MN are also some of the best walleye lakes, and it's not just the big lakes....Pelican and Detroit are both small and excellent walleye lakes. And all the MN fishermen you see in ND are most likely from the boarder towns. It's laughable that you think hoards of MN fishermen are going to invade the state for walleye. I can name 10 lakes around just the Detroit Lakes area alone that are WAY more fun to fish than Devil's. Not only can you catch larger walleye more consistently, but you can catch smallmouth, largemouth, sunfish, crappie, ect. [/QUOTE]
