99situner,

Not to criticize the tourny rules but how are you going to have a 3 fish Muskie limit? I haven't seen any boats that can handle 3 muskies in the livewell unless they are small ones. Or are you guys expecting guys to kill the muskie to weigh in.. I am just curious.. Also is the an artificial only tourny or live bait too?

[Midnitebasser]

Seb, unfortunately live release is not required and it is a live bait TX. I think most of the bass do get put back alive. I'm not sure why they haven't changed they're format, but guys still fish it.

...and he's not kidding about catching three...

Ok well the PA state rule is Muskellunge and Muskellunge Hybrids Jan. 1 through March 14 and
May 7 through Dec. 31 30 inches 2 (combined species) sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fish_Boat/fishpub/summary/inland.html so how will they have a 3 fish limit when the state law is 2 per day?

p.s. I am not trying to put down the tourny just trying to state the laws.

[Midnitebasser]

Seb I think what they mean is that you can bring one in and if it's still alive, you could let it go and then go back out and try to catch two more and come back in to weigh them, I don't know if that makes sense or not. I'm pretty sure they let you weigh in any time you want and then you can go back out to try and catch more fish.

Oh ok got ya....
