5/25/2008 4:42:00 PMHook cutters are for deeply hooked fish. Bass and musky alike. Hooks are cheap compared to trophy fish. I've cut three hooks off musky baits this year that were in smallmouth. I'd sure like to see some of those bass fishermen carry hook cutters and use them on musky. Accidents will happen but most can be prevented with a little common sense.
Deliberate killing/mutilation of any fish needs to be reported immediately to the police. They will contact the WDFW enforcement.

Thank you for obeying the WA fishing laws.

5/26/2008 12:24:00 PMI still think Muskie should be catch and release....But add not to removed from the water...... I know it is great to have a nice photo but on a long fish like Muskie it can be very damaging to pull them from the water.... I just want to see this fishery get better... I still have not hooked one..But just knowing they are there is fun...When I am fishing Smallmouth I always have a rod ready just in case..
But I have gone to a single hook on all the stuff I am gonna throw at them..
I hate to post a negative report but just want people to use their head..50+ inches is great...But If hooked deep use the right tools to get the hook out and keep it in the water......
