South Dakota anglers reject plan to keep large muskies

Original: South Dakota wildlife officials try to let anglers keep large muskies, but anglers say no thanks

South Dakota wildlife officials proposed allowing anglers to keep large muskellunge they catch, but fishing communities pushed back, preferring to release the big fish. The resistance suggests anglers value trophy muskie populations and catch-and-release fishing over harvest opportunities, leaving officials to reconsider the regulation.

Why now: An unusual reversal where anglers rejected a looser regulation is drawing attention among fishing and wildlife communities.
