Water temp is in the low 50’s and the Muskys are hot! I was joined in the boat today by two good friends Jessy Kukuk and Nate Solberg. We set out with a mission to find big fish. With the cooling water musky do not want to burn to much energy chasing baits, but they will still be putting the feed bags on when easy meals present themself. We started by soaking suckers in 10ft or less of water. Our first fish a slim 40 inch musky came hit the first half hour on the water. This fish was found in about 2fow and it took a 12 inch sucker like with nothing. We continued to fish the shallows for about an hour when we got our second hit. Jessy was pumped to have his first live bait hook up. The wind fell out of Jessy’s sails as this fish came unbuttoned at the boat. Lucky for me my sucker was still in the water and this fish went right for it. I was now hooked up with the same fish Jessy just lost. This happend to be my personal best Wissota musky tipping the scale at 30+ pounds 
I have never felt so good and so bad at the same time. Jessy is just about in tears and I am in the front of the boat hopping up and down like a little kid 
This pig was caught on a 18inch sucker and as you can see by the photo she had plenty of room for a meal this size.
