Leech Lake Muskie Study: What Researchers Are Learning About Movement & Survival

Jeremy Smith sits down with Baylor Short to discuss the Leech Lake Muskie Movement and Survival Study, a research project tracking how muskies move, what habitats they use, and how angling pressure may affect survival. Baylor shares early findings from acoustic-tagged muskies, including long-distance movement, seasonal habitat shifts, open-water behavior, forward-facing sonar concerns, and what anglers can do to help protect the future of Leech Lake muskies.
