As fast as it started, it was over. We estimated the fish to be about twenty pounds, a good size fish that we would have released anyway, but it sure would have been nice to boat him. We sat in the boat and reflected on this great sport of Muskie fishing and the fact that fish may be the only one we would see this day. Roger just laughed. If you study these fish and use common sense you can beat those odds with considerable regularity.
Lets try for another.
The exceptional Cave Run and Green River Muskie fishery is the result of dedicated work by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Division. Years of stocking and aquiculture development has yielded a wonderful resource for all Kentuckians to enjoy. In order to challenge these sleek gamefish however, you will need a few special modifications to you tackle, not to mention a change in tactics. Muskie's are positioned at the extreme top of the food chain. They are the 'freshwater sharks' of our inland waters.
