The New River is overran with these stinking muskies. I probably have a very different view than those here. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (think Department of Natural Resourses) has filled the New River with these stinkin' things and ruined what was once a world class trophy smallmouth river. We (the taxpayers/licensees) footed the bill for this ill conceived atrocity, We were never asked our opinions or input, just watched the VDGIF play god and do whatever they wanted, but yet by the same token, they are trying to eradicate snakeheads that have shown up in VA's waterways due to the fact they are an invasive species.....guess what? Muskies ain't native to the New. Double standard here. A floating muskie anywhere doesn't bother me a bit.
