As of 2008,the rule is now 50 inches

4/13/2009 12:33:00 PMMuskie is actually a really good eating fish. I've ate 3 of them out of Tapps, before they changed the regs to 50" inches (which is BS because they won't grow that big). I'm pretty sure the state record is 51 1/2". Since they are genetically altered, they only have a life span of ten years and only grow for eight of those years. If you do eat one, make sure you skin it. They are a reall fatty fish and if you cook it with the skin on the fat cooks on top of the meat and it tastes really fishy.

4/13/2009 4:28:00 PMHey Aaron....They are actually quite tasty. I have smoked them and really enjoyed it. They are tricky to fillet and you lose a lot of meat....so, I just smoke em and pick through the bones. They taste like Pike.

Thanks for clarifying. As far as eating pike, get the Y bones out and they are one of the best tasting fw fish I have ever tasted. Grew up eating eyes and pannies, pike are right there. Oh, perch are great to!!
