Sad picture from Blair road

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

:? I think what lifeisfun was trying to say, is not as much as the dead fish being sad, but that some anglers might not properly release the fish, and just don't care about the fish, that's sad. But, it does happen, maybe just hooked deep, or in the gills, or can also be a natural cause.

Usually when you see them early in the spring, it's a result of being caught through the ice, hooked deep, played until exhausted or the shock of being pulled into the cold or held out too long.
A thing to remember with muskies is that they are really wimps. They're big and strong but stress out easily. They're like a big strong guy, lots of power but little stamina. That's why it's recommended to use heavier tackle and keep the fight as short as possible so that the fish doesn't exhaust itself or stress itself outcompletely. Many may swim away but belly up later on.
