Congratulations sir, you just described "the food chain"
Was this man able to form complete sentences, drive his own boat and breath?

don't discriminate
I don't discriminate I kill all fish that kill other fish and I sleep well at night or after I've had 12 pints and a 40 ouncer. Well it's not sleep but passing out couints doesn't it.

Why not throw in a half dozen joints or so....

Last time I met a moron like that I asked to see what was in his livewell, there was 4 walleys in there and none were over 12 inches long. I proceeded to tell him " Muskies eat your walleye" looking right at him nad i think he got the picture.
BTW that same guy is out there almost everyday in the fall, you think he stops at his possesion limit? I've seen him go out twice the same day so he could fill his limit again.
The problem is every walleye guy out there has a story about a muskie grabbing the walleye off the end of their line. Not realising the only reason that muskie got that specific walleye was because he was struggling at the end of his line.

What the hell did I do...
With regard to the dude who commented on all the walleye being eaten by the muskies....
.... can you say "uneducated" ? Sheesh. Title of your thread should have been "Dumb Fella".Here on our local puddle, the tiger musky fingerlings that are stocked are easy pickin's appetizers for the big walleye. And dat's da truth!

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

Tell him this:
The main diet of muskie are white fishes, ciscoes , carp, gold fish, zebra fish, suckers, freshwater daces, minnows, sheephead etc., generally soft finned fish. I could use the latin genus names but those mentioned will suffice. These fish are high in oil content, a must for the muskie diet. High energy and fat content. They will also eat swimming rodents, snakes, young of the year water fowl. Different studies have been done on muskie and their alledged dining on "game fish". This is not the case. Less than 1 or 2% I believe was the figure quoted, have been found to have game fish in their stomachs when post mortems have been carried out. Will a muskie eat a gamefish, most certainly, when it is struggling or in distress. Such as when you have a walleye or perch on your line and that fish is struggling or in distress. Bass and walleye will do the same. Fish are opportunistic feeders. An easy meal means less consumption of energy to obtain that meal. This is not their food of choice . Some handliners believe they eat walleye. Others do it because they tear up there tackle. Neither one of these are valid excuses.
Here is a recent study from Minnesota
Getting along swimmingly: Muskies, walleyes thriving in Lake Miltona, say surveys
Studies show that the walleyes and muskies in Lake Miltona are getting along just fine.
By: By Jordan Peterson, Student Intern, Alexandria Echo Press
Studies show that the walleyes and muskies in Lake Miltona are getting along just fine.
The size and number of walleyes are increasing and the muskie population has a healthy distribution of adult fish ranging from 25 to 53 inches.
That’s according to trap-netting surveys conducted in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The Glenwood Area Fisheries included the survey results in its latest newsletter.
The netting results should soothe a controversy that’s been brewing for years.
Back in the late 1970s to early 1980s, when fishing for muskies started to become popular, walleye fishermen began to complain to the DNR Glenwood Management Area about the muskellunge population.
Stories were told of muskies killing walleyes in Lake Miltona, depleting their population.
Glenwood DNR officials assured anglers that the problem couldn’t be solely attributed to muskies eating walleyes.
Growth, distribution and reproduction rates had mainly been key factors in the low population of walleyes around this time in Lake Miltona, according to Dean Beck, supervisor of the DNR’s Glenwood Management Area.
Some walleye fishermen, however, did not buy these claims. To argue the issue, they started a group, “No More Muskies,†and carried the fight all the way to the state Legislature.
Eventually, both sides came to an agreement. The Glenwood Management Area would only stock 800 muskies every other year.
For the past few years, the controversy simmered down.
The trapnetting surveys will help the DNR in determining future muskie stocking. Because of a dramatic increase in the demand for muskie fishing in the past few years, the Glenwood Management Area is working to increase the population of muskies stocked in area lakes, especially Lake Miltona.
“We need to base these decisions on biological results so we do not sacrifice great opportunities,†said Beck. “Biological tests have proven that growth, distribution and reproduction of walleyes have increased, especially when occupying the same fishery area as the muskellunge population.â€
Beck said the DNR Section of Fisheries has developed a statewide muskie fishing expansion plan that would add 10 new lakes across Minnesota by 2012.
Survey results
Multiple trapnetting surveys have shown that in the past 12 years, the average individual size of walleyes has increased in Lake Miltona.
On average, based on the past 10 years of netting data, 50 percent of the walleye population in Miltona measures between 15 and 20 inches in length and the percentage of fish between 20 and 25 inches has tripled.
“People need to realize that walleye are not in danger,†Beck said. “With each side increasing, the relation to each other is neutral.â€
The survey is good news for walleye anglers searching for a meal of keepers or for that large, memorable catch on Lake Miltona, Beck said.
Muskie anglers, too, can expect more fish approaching trophy size in the coming years, provided that forage species such as tullibee and white sucker remain healthy, Beck said.
