So, if you didn't spend all your free time muskie fishing, what would it be? Restoring cars, archery/bowhunting, bowling???

For me, not sure... I have played quite a bit in life, so not sure what i would do for fun. Possibly back to golf.

Good question, but easy to answer. Fish for other species! Bass, pike, walleye, steelhead, kings, to name a few. Actually, I haven't really missed musky fishing the last two months. (Though I intend to start again Tuesday!)

I need to remind myself next year to fish for other species during the summer.

Hmmm... Good question. Well, before muskie fishing, I wasn't married either. So I had a crotch rocket, a snowmobile, a lifted truck, a dirtbike, an old mustang, old Chevelle, and I used to bowhunt, shoot guns, waterski, wakeboard, box, snowboard, bar-hop...

Would continue to push myself farther into mixed martial arts/full contact fighting. Ever since I've been addicted to Muskie fishing I haven't trained in 2 years and having 2 surgeries on my hand didn't help either. I need to get back into training and do it for the love of fighting, not money. I never wanted to make it a career but would love to continue to train and fight for fun here and there.

Got a couple people on LSCN I'd love to challenge.... Just joking....

Great question!! Showed dogs for over 25 years, don't have the drive or passion to win anymore. But I do love to fish for anything and now I have this real sickness called musy fever!

I guess I would have to try fishing for other species, but I could see myself getting back into training for and playing sports. I could also see myself getting into hunting as I have also been a little interested in that, but have never tried it.

I'd probably go back to bowhunting. Haven't been out since I stared muskie fishing.

I would get back in the woods with my bow more often

Also, I'd probably catch fish when I did go fishing, like I did before these muskies.

Multi-species fishing, hitting the seasonal peaks for each species.

I would prob bass fish more, but that just gets old sometimes. Well i should probably dedicated more time to finding a job with my degree since being done with college, but no love. I feel like finding a job is as hard as musky fishing sometimes. In michigan though it is probably worse.

A lot of bass and pike fishing. More perch and walleye fishing for the table.

Play my guitars a lot more. Record songs and get back into extreme hunting. Mike
