[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 60329, member: 337"] you have to admit that musky fishing takes real know-how, drive, and pretty serious equipment ($$$) that means there IS a price to be paid by the casual anglers, older folks, kids because they won't benefit by musky fishing AND some of their target fish do get eaten I don't really have a horse in the race but I don't think it's not without its winners and losers - musky don't grow large in a vacuum - it takes lots of "eaters" to make that happen when musky get introduced then the people who pursue muskies win - but other people get the short end of the stick - this is especially true in waters with relatively little non-game fish forage base for the muskies the counter argument (I imagine) is lakes with lots of stunted gills, etc. where a large predator fish might throw things into a better balance and break the stunted cycle disclaimer: I also know dang near nothing about fishery management - just making stuff up :;:smokin [/QUOTE]
