And actually, my claims do hold water. I believe the reciprocity for Greenwood has to do with fishing licenses, not state records. State records need to be caught in the same state as the state record. You may want to check up on that.

And yes, the state does net muskies on the south end IN APRIL WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO SPAWN. Those nets are set at the mouth of Belcher Creek when water temps start to come up into the high 40's. Most of those fish leave after spawning and very few remain when water temps drop back down below 50 in the fall. You asked about the odd color of your musky, well here it is. The color of your musky is typical of a fish that has spent it's entire life in deep water. I know that there is 17 to 18-feet of water on the South End of the lake, but I actually do have a very hard time believing that this fish came out of 17 to 18-feet of water. Why don't you just tell us where and clear up all the uncertainty.

Mr catfishonthelake apparently you are a musky expert. Can you show me a single photo of a similarly colored fish that came from deep water? Also, in the fall how deep do we fish for eyes in low light conditions? Deep? I think not. Not more than 25ft. Most fish coming in less than 20ft. Don't be jealous. I feel bad as it is keeping this fish
