Franklin man lands rare 50-inch musky
Will Renfro enjoyed a taste of what could be in store for musky anglers at Dale Hollow Lake as a result of the new size limits put in place March 1.
The minimum length for musky, also known as muskellunge, kept at Dale Hollow and Melton Hill (Oak Ridge) increased from 44 to 50 inches in an effort to add to the number of trophy fish in the lakes. Only one fish may be kept daily.
Renfro, 27, from Franklin, caught a 50-inch musky last week while trolling with guide David Clark and enjoyed the fight of his life landing the big female.

Solitary Hunter of the Deep
Darren Shell
It’s been said that to look deep into the eyes of a muskellunge is to see anger and despair. It’s to see the solitude of a lonely prowler wandering the murky depths as a rogue hunter, ever chasing its prey. Since my childhood, I’ve wanted to feel that stare—see eye to eye with the hunter of the deep as an equal. I want to face him or her, having conquered them with my hunting and fishing skills and a simple rod and reel. I’ve wanted to see what so few see. I’ve wanted to hunt the hunter.
But hunters are crafty…
