BillM Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) that's a little harder to do with a 20lb - 40+ incher bill. once they get that big they go in the muskie net. I've had no problems with a lot of fish over 40in with this technique, I actually find they don't flop around and lose their minds compared to if I got them under the chin, or even in the net.. Although if we've got a cradle in the boat, that's the preferred method. Edited April 10, 2015 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnote Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I find nothing calms a big gator down like sliding her into the cradle and leaving her and the cradle in the water. Pop the hooks out, quick pic and a way she goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeep Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Quite the revamp on this thread, and good save! I tried to get a couple pike before season closed however I was unsuccessful. Should be good pike fishing well after opener in most areas this year, cant wait! For anyone considering it, pike on the fly are a hoot. Here's one from last year.
