Melton Hill is stocked every year with Musky. Some of the fish have come thru the locks and are getting dispersed downstream. Watts Bar, Chickamauga, and now the Jack have a few. Not sure if it is a sign of the future but at present it is a rare happening. Nice fish and I am sure Blake is now a lifetime fisherman. To be sure, he is in rare company at present. Congradulations.

Congrats on the fish of a lifetime!! I had no idea that Musky were even in our local waters. Thanks for sharing that!

dragfish - 11/23/2012 10:25 PM That's amazing! What part of Nick is that?

</p>

The picture was taken just downstream from the RiverPark. I doubt he would mind me pointing that out. I also doubt that anyone on the forum has fished that area any more than I have and I have never seen a musky,</p>

IWould like for Rob Mottice, TN Aquarium Biologist,to comment on it.</p>

Great fish and I agree, "Big Surprise".</p>

Very awesome catch!! A guy fishing w me years ago caught a rainbow trout right above Watts Bar Dam one afternoon on a plastic lizard...I thought that was weird...but that Musky blew the rainbow trout story out of the water......good job!

Wow, just Wow. That is an experience that will stick for sure. What I'd like to see was the looks on ya'lls faces when you got it boat side and saw what it was.
