Greenbrier Musky

On a cold April day Austin and I loaded up my Jon Boat and took it out on the Greenbrier River. Fishing was very slow and the wind was blowing pretty hard most of the day making it difficult to maneuver the boat. Even though conditions were tough Austin managed to catch a few nice smallmouth. I was able to catch one pretty good smallie, but the highlight of the trip was a really nice musky that I caught. I flipped one of my Joe Fly elites that I tied off of a log near the bank and the water exploded. After a feverish fight I was able to land him and get this nice picture. This is the nicest musky that I have caught and adds to my streak of one musky I've caught each year for the last three years all off my own hand made lures.
