The Muskellunge Symposium: A Memorial Tribute to E.J. Crossman

"The Muskellunge Symposium: A Memorial Tribute to E.J. Crossman" is a comprehensive collection of insights that emerged from an international symposium held from October 28 to 30, 2005, in Indianapolis, Indiana. This symposium focused on the ecology and management of the muskellunge and honored the memory of Dr. Edwin J. Crossman, a significant researcher in this field. The event brought together academic researchers, management biologists, and practical anglers to review the current state of knowledge regarding muskellunge and their management. The structure of the symposium was modeled after the original International Musky Symposium, which took place in 1984 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Dr. Crossman, who passed away on December 21, 2003, was an influential figure in the development of knowledge about muskellunge and inspired many to follow in his footsteps. This book provides valuable insights and discussions that are relevant to both professionals and enthusiasts alike.
