on fish, Nick a jack, crappie and a BIG surprise, 11/22/2012, Blake and Bailey two of my sons

<div>Well we put in around 6:30 am and started crappie fishing and it was on!! We were catching them in about every cast on tubes with about a six count. We caught several on chartreuse Foley spoons also. We quit at 11 am and had 45 slabs and 18 white bass. My boys had a blast.</div>

Now the good stuff, my two sons always compete with each other and I'm so proud for Blake, he started throwing a Xr50 in red craw and I heard this, "dad I think I need your help"!!! I turn around and see him fighting a large fish. I see about a foot of its back and think, wow what a catfish, as I start to the back of the boat the fish is acting up and I see its nose..... its a Musky!!!!!! So were scrambling to .get the net and finally land something I've never heard of seen in this area.....this thing is huge !!!!!! A 40"Musky!!!!!! Oh my fish, we are shouting, hi- diving and hugging and yes making plenty of photos. When we released this thing, Blake sat down and said "I'm done". Then he says man that's a memory right there!!! The best Thanksgiving you could ask for. I will get pics in a few to see!!!!</p>

That is really cool. Glad you got a good pic of it and shared it with us. Never know what's gonna show up in that river. Also, great catch on the crappies, too.

Now there is something you do not see everyday, a muskie on Nickajack. Sounds like a great day on the water.

Congrats! Would love to know the story behind that fish; through at least three L&Ds and who knows what else. Makes you wonder how many more have made the trip!

Does anyone know the release program at the TN Aquarium? Has it been Muskie or Sturgeon? Could this be the reason one shows up?
