A 50-incher hooked by Richard Wren last May at Kinkaid Lake topped the list of fish on the 2024 Muskie Creel Survey results provided by DNR Fisheries Chief Mike McClelland.
Kinkaid dominated the list of muskies caught and reported last year, with a 48.5-incher and 47.5-incher also being caught at the southern Illinois lake. Lake Shelbyville and Mill Creek Lake were the only two lakes other than Kinkaid appearing in the Top 10 slots.
