Trapping Muskies Today

Just getting ready to head out to Spring Lake and pull in a bunch of trapnets with Wayne Herndon and Rob Hilsabeck of the Illinois DNR. 

We will then transport the Muskies to Jake Wolf Fish Hatchery to strip out the eggs and create a whole bunch of baby muskies for the state of illinois' muskie stocking program! 

Its gonna be alot of fun!
