[QUOTE="Allen, post: 216029, member: 389"] Antagonistic? Probably. A "lot" of other people? I don't know if I would say a lot. I only know one muskie enthusiast, and he's caught exactly the same number of them as I have. My point is that there's not a realistic chance for people to catch and keep them here, or in MN even. Remember...a 20 lb fish would be a trophy musky to many people. If you want to help the species, you need to get more people on board with them overall and having a catch and keep rule on any fish species that roughly equates to an 11-12 lb eye, or a 25-30 lb northern is not the way to go about it. Given the advent of plastic/fiberglass replicas, one could easily argue that nobody ever needs to keep a trophy musky, so why even have a minimum that is so far into the trophy range in the first place? I guess I just don't find them "special" enough. [/QUOTE]
