Walleye/sauger northern/muskie

[dakids]

Bobby I have a ?     Since walleyes are a catagory that also gets to add sauger can we add muskie to the northern catagory.  They are both essox. 
It will add to the contest because it allows people to add that really big kicker fish to put the team over the top.

A good question. It was discussed and we stuck with the just adding the sauger as it is sometimes mistaken for a walleye. The big thought for the fish we have in the Challenge is that everyone has water close enough that they can fish for bass-walleye and northern. The Muskie is not that common in local lakes depending on where you live and we want everyone to have a fair playing field. Hope that answers your question :fishing2:
