Caught on a Binsky.

Incredible that something that size would hit something that small

I lost a nice musky that day on a small gotcha plug and redi lost a nice one on a small crank bait. The musky were really active that day considering we hooked three while fishing for walleye. Greenwood lake has produced a lot of fish for me in the past two months. I have caught walleye on ten consecutive trips out there with 7 8 9 10 fish caught a day with musky mixed in as well. I recommend getting a navionics app. for your phone for about 10-15 dollars a little much but WELL worth it or at least a topo map with the depths on it. Fish the submerged humps in the northeast corner or the submerged island in the middle of the lake in about 30 foot of water. Blade baits have been working best with jigging raps and gotcha plugs right behind them. You can launch from willow point marina.

How did the musky taste? It looks delicious! And the those eyes must have been great! WTG!

I have the navionics app and LOVE it! Wish I didn't wait until November to purchase it though lol. Only thing that sucks about it is if you don't have cell service on the lake you are fishing, it won't let you open the app due to it not being able to "check the license". Other than that, it rocks.

As per Greenwood, I'm hoping to get out there before the ice. My girlfriend lived walking distance from there for about a year, yet I only fished it once. Stupid Monksville took control of my brain instead lol.

Monksville does tend to do that...big fish and lots of skunked days, hence the term "skunksville" but after you get a chance to see the size of the fish that live in there, it can get kind of addicting....

Mark, they call muskies the "fish of 10,000 casts", it appears that day you guys whittled down the pattern by about 9,900...
Beutiful fish, great release, great story and pics....

Sidewinder, people generally don't eat muskies...they taste somewhat like pike, and with the y'-bones are a real PITA to eat and tedious,. unless ya deep fry em up in scalding oil...that's one of the reasons most folks C&R them, coupled with the fact that NJ has a great trophy fishery for them and guys that fish for them a lot want to keep it that way...google MuskiesInc for more info.
