Muskie fishing is like gold mining, you find a good spot, you don't share it, otherwise you will lose it. You'll be hard pressed to get someone to share a 'secret lake'. But lakes like the Chip, or LOTW, Mille Lacs, Turtle Flowage, whatever are easy to announce on a show, it's huge and nearly impossible to pick the spot based off the background unless they're fishing next to the CC bridge. Smaller lakes though, they're protected honey holes. Nature of the game.
