Fishing with his grandpa, 9-year-old's first muskie was a whopper

MDC keeps track of all the biggest fish caught in the state Wochit

When summertime arrives you can bet Brodie Davis, 9, and his grandpa David Bodie are out somewhere fishing together.

Last week the Rogersville anglers decided to try Fellows Lake, six miles north of Springfield, for the first time.

They trolled lures behind their small boat, passing the time with tales of catching a big one — or just anything — that day.

"It was about 9:20 in the morning and we were trolling a chartreuse crank bait just hoping something would bite," Brodie recalled.
