Now you have my curiosity up! "Monitored in ways that are not readily evident" I am trying to figure out what Dan means by that! LOL

I have seen a small muskie near the shallow water at the South Bluegrass Pit's launch ramp. This fish was about 12" long or maybe only 10" long. It was right up next to the bank in only 1 or 2 ft of water. This is where the small largemouth bass, small crappie and small bluegill hang out. Also there are plenty of small minnows that frequent this area as well as small water snakes.

I'll bet the water snakes will be scared for their lives in a few more years if the Muskie take hold and grow bigger.

I can just see a big muskie chopping a swimming water snake in half and dragging it under with a big splash! Yike's what the He(( was that?

In addition to the individual that rotates between pits doing creel studies, the Muskie are being monitored closely in ways that are not readily evident.
