Muskie Derby 2018

The muskie derby this year was certainly interesting as lots of rain fell right before the start of the festivities and water that was barely accessible by canoe a week before became accessible by anything and everything up to and including a small party boat!  Even with our fishing hole at times looking more like a marina than a river, we still managed to find a few fish in the dirty water.  We ended with 9 muskie for the weekend with Brent placing on the leaderboard in 11th place with a 40 7/8"and 18.38 pound muskellunge.  It was a fun weekend and the weather was beautiful for most of our 40 hours of fishing.  I must admit though dawn to dusk in a canoe for two days followed by a third day of dawn to 5:00 when the scales close has me not wanting to see my canoe for a few days!
