[QUOTE="Tlauz, post: 216039, member: 3218"] Earlier I stated my opinion on why I think the musky legislation is bad. I will now give my two cents on why I feel muskies are different than other fish. Quartz and gold are both just minerals, but one is viewed differently. An antique gun may be worth a lot of money because it is rare, but it is still just a gun. Big muskies are scarce. Muskies are more difficult to catch and there are less of them. I personally feel a large muskie is too valuable to only be caught once. Because they're so scarce they are special in my mind. Most people on this site don't post pictures of themselves holding a 14-inch walleye because it isn't a big deal to catch one. I think most people view large/trophy fish differently. I spent a couple years musky fishing and enjoyed it. I had a 50-inch muskie hit in 4 feet of clear water about 15 feet from my boat. I will never forget watching that fish open up and eat my bait. I don't fish for muskies anymore, but I respect people who put in the time and do it. I don't fish for walleye or hunt, but I will support any legislation to make it better for those that do. Whether you fish for walleye, panfish, muskies, or bass, I think it is important we protect our resources so those who want to chase these fish have the ability to do so. [/QUOTE]
