You must have caught that one at the put in or take out on the river. looks like a boat access on the bank behind you. Great fish I love fishing the new river for smallies but a musky or two is a bonus.
2nd cast is great.I myself love to musky fish, its about all i fish for. I been with a guy who has caught one on the first cast and to beat all he called the cast. Im a river fisherman at heart and love to fish the small rivers and creeks and I always look for ways to put a small boat in the water sometimes it takes a lot of work. So looking at your pic I couldnt help to notice the access behind you, it looks to be a good launch site.
