They should be up in shallower water and creek mouths this time of year. Reason I thought Muskie is because big ones will hit a bait like that trolling and just be dead weight, like they don't even know they're hooked and go along for the ride til they get near the boat. My grandfather once thought he had snagged a railroad tie til he saw it had fins and it saw the boat and was gone. This hit. Then was dead heavy weight. Drag going. Til it got near the boat. 2 powerful head shakes and gone. My big eye I got that morning was pretty much the same. Hit was good weight and didnt start pullin til she was near the boat.
