[DICKHOUSEification]

[Jedhaase]

[AmazingZombieWeapons]

how did that guy reel in like that

[95hecht]

very impressed by the one handy guy too :) that´s amazing

[xoRubyyxo]

i'm glad that fish swam off okay. i've heard a lot stories where muskellunge put up such a fight that they fight to their own deaths. these guys fascinate me so much. thanks for posting!

[EsOoBaCtvp]

@xoRubyyxo muskies, pike, and pickeral are pretty fragile because of their long pipelike body.

you think he couldn't eat a minnow?

[foxhunter3211]

Ya I'm from northern Minnesota near the lake of the woods and never caught a Muskie but have caught a bunch of 4 foot northerns

[Onx521]

use a banjo minnow

[pivotnoob236]

i live in minnesota. this place is full of pike(we call them "northerns') and musky. i almost caught a 7.5 foot musky. it was awesome!!!!!

[jrloopy1984]

@pivotnoob236 I go to school In East St. Paul. I can't wait to hit the Mississippi this summer. Do you have any advice you could offer as I'm from out of state, and am not familiar with fishing here?

[Dudgi66]

i wouldn't be barefoot muskie fishing lol you never know.

[WorldRecordLies]

"Are they good eatin"...

It is not a question of "good eatin", that would be like having a bar-b-que with a $25,000 thoroughbred race horse, just plain ignorant really.

If you want fish to eat then go crappy fishing. Muskies are not like bass that you can catch and keep stringers of and there are always more bass.

Muskellunge are a rare fish -even where they are stocked- and there are never very many of them in any given body of water. They don't spawn until they are 5 years old. Release them.

[ShowgunZ28]

@WorldRecordLies

They spawn well before they're 5 yrs old. I live close to Cave Run Lake and 90% of the fish that are in the lake are hatchery raised. They actually go through the spawning rituals but don't actually reproduce. Average life expectancy for Muskie here at the Cave is 11-13 yrs.

[masterbattler199]

yea there good eatin

[dabeastify]

i love fishing for muskie

[timtim98le]

[PantheraAtrox]

[mistafishinfreak]

[joel5673ify]

I gotta try fishing for muskie sometime.

[jjboyracer]

Bob elliot reminds me of Bill dance lol ;)

[Darianslocalfishing]

hahahh

[spitfirecs420]

More like a fish of 50 cast in my situation, I am going to try real hard to catch another one In Lake St. Clair.

[fishextracter]

What creek and where is it

[KYterunn3r]

Great video. I just started muskie fishing in Kentucky eight months ago and have caught two muskies so far. The first was 49 inches and the second was 32 inches.

[MMASubmissionFighter]

Here in Kentucky that's a good size Musky. We don't really fish Musky or Pike here, mainly just Largemouth and Smallmouth (we have great smallmouth in lake cumberland and dale hollow), and good cats, mostly channel cats. I haven't ever even caught a musky, so this is a bit of a shock.

[TheCatFan21]

@MMASubmissionFighter I've heard stories of people fishing for Crappie and Smallies/Bucketmouths and snagging one of these guys. That is at Green River Lake, though. I think they actually hooked into one when they went Crappie fishing one episode a long time ago.

[jayder1985]

@MMASubmissionFighter Up here in eastern KY in our rivers and of course cave run lake, musky fishing is really popular. There is so many good musky waters out here.

[Fishnflightbum]

Impressed by the one handed guy!

WTG man!

[RoxorzBoxhead]

i caught a 4foot 7 inches muskie it sucked 1hour fishing and had to put it back

[fishinghunter11]

that is a tiny muskie

[elite5dylan]

Is there an advantage to figure 8 with your pole in the water? never done it like that..

i guess it keeps your line down huh

[snowmofrk13]

well up to me in wisconsin i have had fish in 50 inch range and when they hit they hit HARD and i find that u get a better bait presitation and they dont care if the pole is in the water

[steve4746]

ohh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­

[jayder1985]

@elite5dylan A figure 8 gives the fish more opportunity to take the lure. I have seen a figure 8 done for 3 or for minutes straight before the musky finally took it. A lot of fish are boated on a figure 8. I do one at the end of every single cast.

[dpaintballd]

i dont even fish for muskie i use spinnerbaits and a bass reel and rod and i still manage to catch them although they arnt hooked very well due to the single hook

[foxbow15]

I caught a 1.23 meter long pike totday:P that's 48.5 inches

[Louisvillecpl24]

i have never had the oportunity to fish for Musky, or pike

[jayder1985]

@Louisvillecpl24 Its a blast. Its about the only fish i like to go after anymore.

[maverickhockey48]

fish as big as your leg! PSS try a 5 foot boy!
