40 to 48

[matthothand]

Not sure if it's been brought up as I don't frequent the muskellunge boards but the new regs book is out and a the new inland statewide minimum size limit has changed from 40" to 48". I like it as I'm sure many of you do too. I actually don't think it'll affect anyone except the guys that make em into sandwiches.

Is that for WI? Ooops, guess not.

Hopefully Iowa will be following soon. Anyone that had a hand in the MN increase e mail me, would like to hear some things that helped MN with getting this and also someone to bounce ideas off of.

Whats the slot now for Iowa?

40" state wide open season other than the Iowa Great Lakes, thats closed Dec 1 till May 21 for the brood stock. We are starting the process to up the length limits.

Good luck with that. Hope it turns out in your favor.

Looking at this from a different angle - the first post said that it won't really affect anyone except the guys who make em into sandwiches. I would add that hopefully it will affect all of us, just in a positive way. The less fish that are taken from our waters, the more muskies we will have to tryand catch. Hopefully this will affect me - I need some better odds out there for me to catch more fish I think.

Still no size limit for Badger sandwiches when the Gophs come to town!

There was a push for a 40 statewide that got put on the back burner - maybe in 2012 is the rumor.

looks like its 48 statewide excepting the Metro lakes with tigers

[wbliceman]

the 48" is great! looks like even bigger fish (hopefully) will continue to be caught then!

[cluelessfisherman]

Glad to see it!
