No, sorry. I only have my two, and selling them requires the proper permits. Laws are very sticky about native fish, and differ state to state. I thank god that Illinois and Wisconsin have changed their laws to allow the sale and ownership of these wonderful fish!!! I really never understood why it was not possible before. I'm already preparing to set up a tank for next spring, when I'm promised some small walleye, which I've always wanted. They for sure will need a chiller!!! I'd like some trout too, but that's a whole nother story! LOLBENRAABE2;1086547;1086547 said:
I knew it. Any chances you want to reveal the lake (Vilas County)?
(I understand if you don't want to-keep in mind this isn't a Muskie fishing board) Just curious to see if we fished the same lakes out of the thousands. I used to live in in WI and was an avid Muskie guy and caught a few 50" + fish myself. Worth moving back for the fishing alone.

Ok, New subject. Is it cruel to control the growth of a fish? I don't think so, not at all!!! I read on this website of people over crowding tanks all the time!!! I don't do that, my tanks are under crowded! I have at times only fed certain fish to control their growth. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I under feed my Jaguar Cat ever since I bought him at two inches long, so he wouldn't eat my Champs. He's still over a foot long!!! I guess we all have our opinions and beliefs. Mine is there is nothing wrong with controlling a fishes size, once he reaches the size you want him. And also please understand I already have plans for a 1000 gallon tank in basement, if I decide I want them bigger! LOLESOX;1086591;1086591 said:
fish are what they are. even if you do under feed them they will still grow, just a little slower.

Right on. I didn't fish the Hayward area too much. Usually Vilas, Iron, and Onieda Counties. Ironically the biggest Muskie I ever had hooks in though was a brutus of a fish on Oconomowoc lake 45 min outside of Milwaukee lol.
The fish had to have been pushing 60"... it had eyeballs as big as mine!!! Never landed it though. Sorry for the thread derail.

Wow, your logic is horrible. So you have been to one lake where you can catch large pike, and another where it is hard to catch ones as large. This makes you think that you can keep very large growing fish in a tank that is WAY too small for their maximum potential?
Healthy fish will keep growing no matter what until they reach their maximum size. Don't you agree that a healthy fishes growth will not be stunted? So it is fine with you if you have unhealthy fish as long as they stay small enough for your tank? I feel sorry for your fish.
By the way, what size tank are your fish in?
