We don't have very many lakes in IL with pike most of our lakes have been stocked with muskies if they have any teeth at all.
There is no need to keep muskies anymore! That's just old ways dying hard! I still see the "Uninformed" (I'm putting that as PC as possible!) pulling muskies into the boat, still in the net flopping around, taking pictures for 3-4 mins after they catch them, ect... No need for that. There are pleanty of other great tasting fish that don't have as small of numbers on a body of water to keep. Come on people, it's 2007, not 1937!!!
Who died and left you in charge??-30°
LOL exactly hate muskies if they're not big enough to keep I hope they are gut hooked Why you should use 7 3/4" baits the powers at be think we need every 50 acre lake stocked with them the destroy populations of every other species in these small waters Besides that I don't key for them and they prolly get $100 worth of my lures during a year!!
I'd like to hear of ONE 50 acre lake that was stocked with Muskie and also would like to know which lake you think Muskies are responsible for "Destroying populations of other fish". If you are losing that many lure you should check your drag and learn how to use it. I've caught plenty of 36 inch northerns on 4 lb test. If it wasn't for the Muskie groups there would a lot less fishable waters in Illinois.jimmyguns you must learn not to argue with unintelligent.
rockland lake in ny!! muskies did not destroy the waters though!! they improved it. there was an abundance almost a nusicance of white perch. and there was no food for all them to eat so they stocked it with tiger muskies. and now there is muskies and white perch and the white perch #'S are down but you are still able to catch them and they are bigger!!!
Just a side note, if they stocked it with Tiger muskie, in time they will all die off. Tigers cannot reproduce.
