Nice job. It sounds like more bass are being picked up the past few days. I also saw what looked to be a mink on Monksville a few weeks ago, running just above the shoreline. I'm determined to see one closer there, so I can determine it was a mink and not an otter.

I always get a kick out of seeing squirrels and small animals out in the water on muskie holding lakes. Theres a video on youtube of one getting inhaled by a muskie and theres also a good one of a duckling getting pulled under by a big pike. those minks/otters got some balls out on monksville, theres some big toothies in that place, I doubt one could defend itselft against a huge muskie, it would be lights out in one swipe

Very very true, I've seen those vids as well...while fishing from the shoreline once on Monksville; I saw something about 12-14" swimming on the surface 50' away, making passes, I assumed it was a muskrat or otter. I kept an eye on it and it came in close enough that I could see it was actually a musky about 4' long. The head was MASSIVE and that's what I saw breaking the surface, not an muskrat/otter. I was pretty shocked to say the least. I've never seen any fish scope shallows (3-10') with it's head breaking above the water line.
