Greenwood Lake 12/12-Musky and Walleye
 
Jrock and Redi took me out to the show me the ropes on Greenwood today and it wound up being a memorable day. I caught what was most likely my first legal musky, although I can't be 100-percent sure b/c I was more concerned about letting him go than getting an accurate measurement. We launched from Willow Point Marina in the dark and it was COLD. They've lowered the lake, and this may be one of the last places to launch. After two quiet hours, I broke the ice with a sunfish on a Binsky:rolleyes: . Shortly after, Jay and Redi had back to back 3ish pound walleyes and we picked away at some perch, another small walleye and a couple lost walleye. We were on the big submerged island up in the north end and Jay was about to make a move when I tossed a lure behind the boat to troll. Within 20 seconds my rod was bent and I knew it was no snag. It came to the boat pretty easily then went ballistic. Dove under the boat and jumped clear out of the water behind my back on the other side. I can't believe he didn't get tangled in the motor, but he was landed after a spirited fight, photographed and released with lots of energy left in him. Didn't even need to revive him. I had to head off the lake early, but Jay called and said they hooked two more while jigging that both got off. What a day.

Now that is a nice fish.. I read your blog everyday- huge difference between that monster and the catfish/panfish from your local ponds. Glad to hear your persistence paid off. Congrats again.
