muskie

FYI, I just had dinner with my buddy who is a DEC officer and he said he would have done the same thing with a once in a life opportunity as well. The guy didn't know how

Really....knowingly Break the law .....

OK...we get it...It's an illegal catch, he broke the law. SO WHAT!! He's the one who will have to pay the fine, deal with any reprecussions, answer to god, etc...Quit bashing the man! He put the post on here for us to enjoy, if you can't stand the sight of a musky being held like that simply click to another thread, whats done is done. We will never know if the fish survied or not, for all we know it turned into a mermaid. The only thing this guy did wrong was post it on here to be ridiculed by all the "proffesionals" on this site. Imagine if you did cut the line, never landed the fish and posted just your story up here with no pic.. you'd have been called a liar and been shot down and ridiculed by everyone for lying. You can please some people sometimes, but you can't please all the people all the time. Congrats on the great catch and thanks for sharing. For all you who don't like it get over it or go to a differant thread.

haha...yes! And if it makes you feel any better, we knowingly drive faster than the posted speed limit, occasionally violate the open container law at events,  have bon fires during the burn bans and I also don't have a pool alarm for my pool.
oh, and sometimes I stay up past my bed time and watch skin a max!

GROW UP!

Heading to Chamaunt to get the crappies and perch. don't look for a report.

Royjboy.     Thank you for making my stupid post not look so bad and I fish alot and since I don't target muskies and know all the rules.   Yes you would of seen me holding the fish with a big ol smile on my face    It is a fish to show of.

The only thing that bothers me about this post is that me, my kids or one of my buddies wasn't the one holding the fish !! I'd have a life size poster blown up of that picture and we'd have done victory laps for 2 days to all the local watering-holes. Then I'd have a replica made of the fish as all you self-proclaimed ethical sportsmen know you don't ever take a musky in to get mounted, you take in measurements and a picture. I've noticed the volume of jerk-@ff's on here has increased this year, you guys really do need a life !! Good luck .. you're gonna need it !

Someone should start a topic that is a spot where you can nominate a name for "Jerk-@ff of the Year" .. that would be funny !! It would be a tight race for sure ..

Illegal or not....It would be at the taxidermy as I type!!  Its worth the fine!  GREAT FISH!!!

[fordman]

Sounds like a lot of people are jealous. Nice fish

LMAO.....at all the crap people think up and type on a website...and I wasn't aware there were so many fish experts in the world....no wonder I feel so stupid when I go fishing....or was that logging in on the Shanty.....

 
Thinking our legislators must spend time on these types of sites as well....that way they can justify their stupid laws to protect us from ourselves.....
