When fishing for muskies and landing a fish of legal size that is bleeding profusely from the gills, is it best to release that fish and continue to fish for muskies? Or should that fish be kept and fishing for muskies stopped for the day?

Thanks for the question John. If the fish is injured, I would say that you keep that one and call it a day.
