Until next time good luck and good fishing.

@TheGenofan7 apike and pickeral are two differnt fish also and norther pike get as large as muskie but there still differnt family

[TheMinnesotaNice]

unless you unintentionally hook one what is the advantage of not using a leader...?

[thundermistlures]

@TheMinnesotaNice The advantage of not using a steel leader, is the fact that the muskie has less of a chance to see your line....when you use a leader, they may be "spooked". When the Muskie are really aggressive, the steel leader will not matter - they will hit.

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water.

[thundermistlures]

@TheDzos ...that's a nice Pike - sounds like you had a great day on the water. thanks for sharing & until next time, good lcuk and good fishing.

[thundermistlures]

@TheGenofan7 They are completely different species. They do however belong to the same family. Muskies grow much larger than the pickerel though. Thanks & good fishing!

[golfer15963]

[thundermistlures]

What lake are you on? I say your on northern waters, just curious which one...

[thundermistlures]

@RAWJUICE10 This video was filmed on Buckhorn Lake Ontario, in the Kawarthas. Buckhorn is connected to Pigeon lake & Chemung lake and makes for some great fishing!

Thanks for writing in & good fishing.

[thundermistlures]

@pikefisherman3 I was using straight monofilament and was actually fishing for walleye and ended up catching the muskie.

This happens quite commonly when you are fishing for weed walleye.

The bait of choice that day was a Berkley power leech, again, because I was actually targeting walleye.

Thanks for writing in & good fishing.

Not once while musky on did he follow his instructions.

[WillieWonka928D]

Nice fish! I'm looking forward to spring so I can start fishing again! Hopefully this year I'll be fishing from a boat show I should have better luck!

Great video!

[thundermistlures]

@WillieWonka928D

Muskie fishing is great. You do have a better advantage fishing from a boat.

Good fishing!

[spitfirecs420]

I just looked up Fisherman in the Dictionary.

It showed a picture of you smiling with a fish.

[thundermistlures]

@spitfirecs420 :) Thanks for writing in :)

[mcgaugh57]

Seems unlikely. Not old enough or wise enough.

[spitfirecs420]

mcgaugh57 you must be a complete idiot if you think I was serious.

This man is obviously an avid fisherman and I was simply giving him a nice comment.

Maybe you are not used to someone being nice to you??? Oh yea thats why you hate on others.

So remember this, comments from fools like you make me laugh VERY HARD.

[jmreds4evr]
