Landing a 51 1/2" Ontario musky on 8# test line and no leader. Ontario muskie fishing at remote fly in outposts and boat in outpost cabins North of Emo, Ontario, Canada with Gateway North Outfitters. www.gatewaynorthoutfitters.net
Where's your net? I expect that fish thrashed with your hand in its gill while the fish layed in the boat - hence the vid ending. Get a rubberized net and un-hook in water!!!
Mortality rates for large female muskies are rising do your part.
We weren't fishing for muskie, we were fishing for smallmouth and only had a small net. The fish never thrashed around in the boat, we got the fish unhooked quickly and took a couple quick photos and got her back in the water. She swam away just fine and I am sure she survived.
Nice fish.
