Muskie on the Conococheague

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Conococheague Creek

Hi, my name is Nathan Rockwell and yesterday August 24th just before 8pm I caught this Muskie after a 3 hour float of feisty small mouth. I was trolling a 4 inch rage craw on a 1/32 oz pegged Texas rig with 8 pound braided line on my light action finese rod equipped with a 1000 class reel. The bite came just after the final bridge before the Conococheague dumps into the Potomac. We couldn't get a great measurement due to being in kayaks and not being properly equipped for handling a big muskie, but we had it measuring over 40 inches.
