Chris......I'm not referring to the 12.9 lb brown trout. Have no problem with a fishery which for the most part is a put and take program. Kudo's to the angler. I'm referring to the links posted by the initial poster that talks about and has pictures of the 49 inch musky which was killed! Again is the guy legally wrong for keeping that fish.....no. But if the state wants to have a trophy fishery you're not helping the cause by allowing huge fish to be removed based on an incidental catch or otherwise. People don't know any better or probably more the case don't care. Too many people, clubs, the state itself are trying to make this a world class fishery only to allow people who as I said are uninformed or could care less about the fishery to destroy it. I'd be embarrassed to keep a trophy fish like that and bring it back to Dick Dow's for a few minutes of glory but many anglers don't have a conscience. As I said it's an absolute shame to see a trophy fish like that taken, in my opinion they should be protected.
