french creek near cochraton

had an unbeliveable day on french creek yesterday. (sunday) the conditions were all wrong,water was slightly stained and low, but my cousin and i caught close to 50 walleye, 16 muskies and at least 30 smallmouth from 5:30pm to about dark. to someone who fishes this creek thats unheard of. the walleye were very small 8-15 inches and so were the muskies 8- 15inch also. was there some sort of stocking? they were hitting any lure we threw at them.

    Basically you are saying you hooked **** near 100 times In 4hrs? I fish French Creek in the Franklin area at least twice a week and have never caught more than 3wallys while the sun was still up.I don't mean to question your integrity but your count is to be.Smallys maybe.

    Ladies and Gentlmen.....START YOUR ENGINES!!!
     
    Why is there always somebody calling somebody else out on how many fish they caught?
    Does it really matter if he lost count? Geez!

    For my fishing reports, product reviews, stories, and other nonsense...

    Generally the muskies are stocked around the end of august or beginning of september.  It sounds like you hit the jackpot on them!

    acmaul, you didnt offend me i just wanted to let people know that it was a stellar day on the creek. once in a life time really does one catch that many fish out of there. ive been going there since i was 2yrs old and im almost 30 now and only had one other day like that in my life. i could have been greedy and not said a word and kept to myself, however i went outa my way to inform you and others about my recent finding. i could care less what you or anyone else thinks. but if you get a chance to go up there and try it let me know how ya do. personally i think they were recently stocked fish, because of there size and numbers.
