Default D&R Canal finally shows signs of life!

Had 30-40 mins to kill today so grabbed my stuff and headed across the street to the canal. Dragged a Zman Lizardz across the bottom with no luck. Switched to a Sebile Bull Crank and was doing the old rip and reel in the faster moving water and bang! Not the biggest Musky ever but this one was special as it was my first Musky ever! Again the good old canal surprises and produces! Final length was 22". Caught (below the sbb lock) photo'd and released (above the lock).

Game on!

Nicely done. I've been to the canal many a time in the past 2 years never really expecting a musky, but knowing they're stocked there the hopes were always there. Every time I'd see that shape just before I pulled a pickerel into shore there'd be a moment where I'd be thinking please be my first musky.
