I would love to see some 2020 SML Muskie pictures ? Heard of a few but they still seem to be a fish of a lifetime on SML in past three years at least. I'm going to continue to troll with heavy leaders just encase.

They’re pretty rare in SML but there’s still a few around for sure. I’ve caught 3 over 40” in my life on SML and all were within 1/4mi of each other. Know of another 5-6 caught within the same area - they don’t move much.

I caught 1 last year it was my first and was 38.5 inches tossed back in it was in November during muzzle loader season.
