Fished Green this morning and limited out by 9. Then switched gears and tried trolling for a walleye near the dam. Instead I ended up boating a 34" musky on 10lb P-line on a 12' BnM rod-weighed in at 15.2lbs. It was a fat healthy fish that really slimed and stunk up the boat. The fight was amazing and can see why guys spends days trying to catch one of these beautiful fish but never again will I lay one down in my boat...slimed me worse than a catfish.
Nice meeting you this morning. We also got our limit today but it took us a little longer.Took my sister in laws boyfriend who had never been fishing other than in a pond and he had a ball. Most fish came from 12 to 18 fow fishing 12 to 16 ft deep.Quote:

I switched to another type of crank for walleyes by the dam but never caught a crappie down there-never saw any shad balls for that matter either, just a bunch of gar surfacing.
My first Musky came from Green while crappie fishing over twenty years ago. It hit a roadrunner tipped with a slider grub. It was an unreal fight on 4 lb test and measured 33 inches. We went back the next day loaded down with some borrowed musky lures and cast our arms off and never saw one. We finally gave up and started bass fishing and within an hour my buddy caught his first musky....good times!
