Looks like our Muskie babies grew rather well by the looks of the December and Fall photo's. Hope to see them at 55 to 60 inches in the next several years. Wish they were not so shy though.

My dive buddy & I encounterer one of the babies on a dive last fall. It was hanging out by a brush pile along the back wall near the drum stand area. It watched us as we swam by, certainly not shy. Can't wait to see how they've grown!

They are defient... Come and get me! Unless you are fishing for them. They are known as the fish of 10,000 casts, but when you connect with one it is a memoral experiance.

i love the name "esox69lb"  you really are a true musky fisherman! i also have an uncanny respect for musky , seems to be able to draw nothing but respect from me and once in a while they allow me to grace thier presence!  it is going to be cool watching these things grow, but 55"-60" could take us 20 years or so! the really cool thing is they have absolutely no pressure where they are at! ....

These fish should really get "girthy" and should probably reach 50 inches
in five years or so. We are going to see some very pretty lunge grow fast.

We saw one Sunday the 27th near the fuel tank stand.  23" sounds about right.  Looks like the winter treated them well.

I was diving at the Quarry on Friday the 1st of June, and had seen one of the Muskies.  It looked to be a good 24 to 28" long. It was sitting is about 25tf of water, just above the growth.
It didn't seem to mind us swimming arount the area.  When I got to within about 5 or 6 ft. it moved away at a slow pase.

No muskies but we have seen several huge cat fish and the albino cat fish.
