1st Riverski
 

I went to Eddie's secret hybrid spot for a little bit this afternoon and caught a hybrid of my own...hybrid esox that is. I caught my first river muskie, and it was also my first ski caught on a topwater. It's a blast watching them explode on top! On my 2nd cast it took a swipe at my bait and it's entire head came out of the water but it missed. On the next cast it nailed the plug. It wasn't that big, only around 30", and after a quick pic it went back in the drink.

Lol Dale! I actually targeted them a few weeks ago on Mark's boat too but never got around to posting about it. I caught a few bigger ones that day ;) Thanks for getting me out Mark!

What type of tackle do you use when you musky fish? Rod action/line/lures. I'd love to try it on Greenwood Lake up here.

Awesome fish! Can't imagine it hitting on top water.
