Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Went back for more.

You could be right man. I just know that every year around this time of we get fish that are beat up with scars not unlike this. Granted this is one of the more severe cases. Knowing most of the locals I can't think of anyone who would use an outboard on this river as there's just not much need. But I'm not there everyday and it could be possible.

What typically happens during the spawn is a big female will swim a slow serpentine pattern. The smaller males ram and bite her inducing her to drop eggs. They are pretty rough on them and the females get really beat up in the process.

Interesting to see a muskie come out of that water.

Everybody keeps saying that. I'm not sure I understand why it's so hard to understand lol. Maybe it's because we grew up with them here?

Here's a video from several years back that our local outdoor show KyAfield put out. All of the fish I posted lately came from this same stretch of river. Once you actually see the river and streams we have in person.... it's not hard to see how it supports the fish and how they came to call it home. Plenty of depth, cover, and food. That's all they need.

I don't approve of how the fish were handled in this video, but that's neither here nor there.
