New PB muskie

U dont need thousands to have the proper gear to target Muskies. You obviously know a little bit about what you should be doing, yet you decide to target skis anyway. To an angler that is completely ignorant of what they should be doing, theres nothing to say, because ignorance is bliss.

Fishing for musky without the proper gear results in some dead fish... Period. Sorry for trying to protect a fragile resource.

 

Fishing with the proper gear also results in the occasional dead fish, unfortunately that is the price that we pay for participating in our sport. Maybe you would care to enlighten us all as to how you pick a large fish out of the net when you are fishing alone? Rather than just busting someone's :asshat: maybe you should offer more of your wealth of knowledge to our ignorant community......speak at a Muskies Canada meeting perhaps?

This type of post makes Muskie anglers in general look bad. A vertical hold on a fish that size is fine, though not preferred. Way to welcome new Muskie anglers into the sport. Your arrogant attitude served no purpose. I am a teacher and I know from experience that being positive and then adding one clear and positive goal or next step is always better than belittling someone.

This is a great site. Let's keep it that way!!!!!!

It's ok guys I'm not discouraged. Next time I'll just lay it horizontal on the casting deck. That should keep them happy. Lol

 

no it won't

 

you'll have somebody complaining about the casting deck removing the slime off of the fish.

 

pretty much only horizontal holds are accepted around here lol

 

my advice, look into a camera mount

Typical muskie post that goes south real fast.

 

I don't know why people even post reports about them....oh wait, most people aren't anymore. Or posting reports in general.

 

To the OP - nice fish, thanks a lot for posting. I'd say don't be offended, but it's hard not to be.

Very nice fish, and to beat your old PB by a foot is something to be proud of, as many guys have said, a large net with coated mesh is the way to go for fishing muskies, for the protection of you and the fish, it will basically be your in the water livewell, eliminating extra handling, as the hooks can be removed or especially cut while the fish is in the net, a top notch hook cutter like Knipex is essential and will last many years, I like to have my net and cutters and long-nosed pliers on tether straps attached to the boat, as they wont work at the bottom of the lake, personally i have a set of pliers and cutters on each side of the boat, depending on which way the musky wants to go. Once again congradulations

I didn't see the actual fish but just from the photo, and working with photoshop, both the scar and the sliced fin were done by a 40hp 4 stroke Honda (15 pitch prop). IMHO

 

Great fish Bud. Congrats!
