RE: Look what I caught yesterday!! (in reply to c)
Nice one , big mouth on that thing . Heaps of meat hope its good to eat . I got a nice jewfish of the beach last night, about three kilo , hoping its the start of a good summer of fresh fish .
RE: Look what I caught yesterday!! (in reply to c)
Thats a big monster.
Are they as bad behaviored as their coisin, the pike? I can imagine that this fellow made your adrenalin move around very fast. Do you eat them. In Denmark, pikes are mostly used for fishmeat balls and they are very delicious. The french eat pikes in a lot of different ways and consider pike to be a very fine meal.
RE: Look what I caught yesterday!! (in reply to Anders Eliasson)
Anders The Muskie is the King predator of the lake They are similar to pike ,but are a different species It is found only in some areas of north america..and is much less populated than Pike This fish is only 4 or 5 inches short of the record ever caught in canada I have been hunting for a big one for 35 years In my life I have only caught 5 of them This is a dream come true for me.
He was released back into the water after only long enough to measure and photograph. much too old and tuff to eat.

Fishing is one of the things that put me into wild contradiction as an animal friend who in the same time and strangely finds it thrilling to lurk with a fishing rod. ( Quarreling with friends about who please is to finally kill the quarry.)
- Have not been fishing since many years. Over here it is said that you need to drive 500 km at least to reach to natural fishing grounds ( other than commercial / artifical fishing ponds, which - catching what has been filled in beforehand- is something that I find ridiculous ). Yet, I am certain that even out there on the country side the fish would be intoxicated.

Is that now for environmental destruction, or would this species be rare ever since?

Good move. I hope he will recover.

How is this to be imagined with fish? A friend once brought me a prepared old chicken from his mother´s yard, strongly recommending me to make a soup of it. Ignoring his advice I fried it, and boy: Chewing car tire would had been comparably tender.
Now, I can hardly imagine tough fish meat. Would it rather be that elderly muskie tastes strange?
RE: Look what I caught yesterday!! (in reply to Escribano)
This fish is possibly 75 years old I would guess he may have been caught before The lake is covered in 4 feet of ice for 6 months of the year The water is cool and the fish grow slow. There is lots of other smaller kinds of fish that taste so much better. Muskie is not the best tasting fish, but is not bad at all.
RE: Look what I caught yesterday!! (in reply to c)
At that age he would be qualified for old-age pension even in Germany! ... Then again, at current and coming rates for retired none-officials he´d be better up with staying under four feet of ice and grab the one or other occasional stickleback.
