Very sad. Fish of lifetime.

Not good.....

I hope they contacted the DEC. Seems like dead musky are showing up in a few spots. Hope it's not VHS. This prolonged warm spell can't be good.

Also heard of several found dead.

I was just about to leave a message to ask if anyone could provide info that would give you a chance physically to examine the fish. It looks like a rare specimen.

Welcome to LOU Dr Farrell. Very pleased to have you as member.

Flynn, Trying to get the word out to direct recovered muskie specimens to your attention........ Is that your preference? If so, what is the best way to coordinate pick-up/transfer of the specimen? Email you directly?

[muskiedreams]

One thing that anglers have to be concerned about is the size limit. If you hold onto a fresh floater, you could get in trouble if it is under 54".

[EsoxAC3]

Very true.... If you secure the specimen in some manner and immediately contact the DEC / Research facility i believe you are acting reasonably and prudent and in the best interest of the fishery. Hard to believe any tickets would be issued....

[EsoxAC3]

Then again..... It is NYS.

Flynn, I got the info off facebook  just thought I would share with the folks on here, there is something on Newzjunky.com today sorry I couldn't help you with more info wish could. Hate seeing this, 2 weeks ago the shore line on moon lake was covered with dead crappies have never seen the water there as warm as it is.
