Lee & Robbie: congratulations on 15 K! Eventually it will be 150K just a matter of time. So grateful for your enthusiasm and fun approach to our favorite sport. Thank you and God Bless! Look out 55" Muskie, here they come!
Finally catching up on your videos. Thank you guys so much for always sharing your tips and tricks. Looking forward to seeing you guys again at the musky show!
How come you don't use 9"-12" crankbaits or big spoons? I am new to muskie fishing and trying to learn as much as possible. I may be up in Madison on Mendota in a few weeks.
My name is John Roos. I'm the son of Ted Roos. He had his property on Buck Lake, MN. There was a short channel to Cass Lake, MN. He built his house in 1991. He started fishing Muskies in 1967. He didn't catch his first Muskie until 1972. We moved from Crystal, MN to Wadena, MN in 1975. I joined the USMC in 1987. He sold his lake home in 2012, and he passed away in August 2015. I finally caught and released my first Muskie in June 1997. I caught and released four more, but Dad was a Muskie God', in my eyes, until he passed away... He ALWAYS sharpened his hooks! Semper Fidelis
great video! really appreciated the detailed breakdown of the baits. however, i wonder if some of the newer, more unconventional lures might outperform the classic ones? just feels like the fishing community can be a bit resistant to change sometimes. what do you all think?
That rod looks great. I got a telescoping one from Tackle Industries this year. Its the only xxh 9" telescoping rod I could find anywhere! I couldn't believe more companies don't make them so I'll have to check out that new one.
Ive been watching many of your videos..keep up the great work! You said something in this vid that has me curious: You almost caught a monster in 40 degree water...do you think 40 degrees in the fall is the same as 40 in the spring as far as how they react? I'm just wondering if 40 in the fall means they're still aggressive vs sluggish in the spring. ?
Lookin to catch my first musky soon, the one spot close enough to me is a river, it’s not super big only 100-200 yards wide. What are some good bets for November musky fishing from shore, sands as said in the video or would it be different?
Awesome info guys! Any recommendations on a more budget minded reel that will still get the job done? Just can't afford a tranx right now and just want to get back on the water ASAP. Thanks!
You're coming to Mn this week? Pack all the warm clothes you have and then buy some more to bring along because it's been unseasonably cold here. There's been snow on the ground in northern Mn and I'm not sure how far south that snow line is. No snow here in the Twin Cities, yet.
curious to know, husky vs monster medussa, when would you throw what size? also, for the fun of it, since its fall, could we get a video where you guys cast only 2 pounders, mammoth curly sues and 16inch line thru trouts?
I'm too old for the Monster...like the Husky just fine. But to answer your question, generally speaking where muskies eat big food like whitefish you may wish to use the monster bait. But hooking percentage could be a factor. (Lee)
I was told muskies don't really care about color, but you guys have color preferences?? Headed to St.Germain tomorrow for a weekend of musky fishing. Definitely stopping at the Musky shop!
Tranx question.. My buddy got one this summer and his only complaint was the amount of spray off the reel. He said his hand stayed soaked all day. I would think this would not be too comfortable in November. Have you had the same experience? I have a lexa and like it but considering adding a tranx
I had this exact same problem! Its not the reel, its the line. He needs to get braid that doesnt absorb so much water. I stopped by thorne bros tackle today and asked them and they strung me up with new line and fixed it-better than its ever been before. First day ever that my hand has been dry muskie fishing and it was so much more enjoyable
Colour matters big time. Different fish species see different colours on a colour spectrum differently. This also changes with cloud cover water colour and the depth your fishing. There is more science to catching consistent big fish than just dumb luck. Also noise plays a factor if a fish cant see a bait clearly. Then the noise a bait makes in the water gives the fish something to hone in on. Also the speed at which you reel can also play a part in catching fish. Just some food for thought next time you select lure colour, size and shape and noise producing abilities. Think of everything that goes into proper execution of bait production
Imo color for musky isn't about matching the hatch as much as being visible (white if clear and sunny, black of murky and dark, chartreuse if murky and bright. Natural if cloudy and clear
Hey Lee! My wife loves the feel of my Todays Angler shirt. Looks like I'll be ordering a slightly smaller one for a Christmas gift for her..lol (since I watch yinze on fire stick she has seen most of your vids. . We gonna try and beat the rain and get out a bit Sat am...

Thank you kindly. You alway have the most inspiring comments.
Love your videos that your teaching! We all have more to learn!
Thanks
The Trilogy! Scott is an awesome bait maker! One of us Muskyfreak!
Awesome video.
Finally catching up on your videos. Thank you guys so much for always sharing your tips and tricks. Looking forward to seeing you guys again at the musky show!
I asked for best lure last video and then you make an entire video on great baits👌 I love the constant supply of fishing knowledge.
👌
Great video! With all the awesome content you guys have put out I'm surprised you don't have 100k subscribers!
Finally getting caught up on your vids, great content. Leviathan looks to be a great bait. Great content.

We use cranks more for trolling in general. No muskies in Mendota.

Agree👍
okuma evx muskie rods are also telescopic, hope that helps
Great breakdown, boys!
What amazes me is that you guys know the names of the bait, brand, and color pattern of all these baits haha!
Glad i didn't buy the regular Swat Rod yet. Hope you guys are at the Madison Expo in the spring because I'm saving the $$$$ right now.

Look for a dam or deep slack water next to current.
Another great vid. Lee and Robbie make a great team. How did you two meet?
Thanks. Met at a fishing expo. Robbie had me teach him how to tie a fluoro leader. (Lee)
That’s really cool. Someone with your experience talking the time to help out another angler and made a great friend
Awesome info guys! Any recommendations on a more budget minded reel that will still get the job done? Just can't afford a tranx right now and just want to get back on the water ASAP. Thanks!
Sure, the Shimano Cariff will be solid for you until you until you can invest that much.
What leader do you recommend on your Lee Lures, Glider? (Single strand? Flouro? etc.)
So do you use floricarb on for leader instead of steel?

Had snow in prior lake on sunday but it melted. In boundary waters now and it seems to have melted up here too.
hey guys! let me hitch a boat ride when you come through Minnesota! trying to catch my first muskie!

Enjoy watching the videos, do you guys use a app to follow moon phase ?

Something brigjt, something white, and something dark. Kinda what we go by. Good luck
@@TodaysAngler thanks, guys! I really appreciate the replies.
@@ToddReuterOutdoors happy to, its our job!
SICK VIDEO!
What do you recommend for the nighttime bite? Same lures worked perhaps a bit slower than in the daytime?
Exactly, rubber at night can be deadly.
There is 3 parts to the dragon do you use just the front or the front and middle for the medusa and do you leave the hook on
We were using the two piece and taking the rear section off. Up to you on the other hook.
Todays Angler thankyou

Yea i have mono on my tranx 301. Def gets my thumb wet!!
What he said☝️
What kind of braid did they hook him up with? What's the go to? Can I ask that Lee?
be a musky todays angler uses 80ib suffix i think
You could use a lee lure to hang the calander up. Just hang it from the rear trebble hook lol
@Todays angler. Yesterday my dad and I went to monona and I slammed a FAT 41 incher on a grey and black posiedon
Nice work!
Thanks!
Ik what lake ur goin to next week lol talked to yall on Instagram cant wait for that video
Okuma has made that exact type of rod for several years now
I tried those early on and had them break on me. They seemed too fast of a taper and very light tip...(Lee)
@@TodaysAngler oh wow. Didn't think about that. I must have a well made one then
Hello guys, what can i use as nosiemaker on my trilogy? will bite back sell them with a clacker/noisemaker or can i put naythign there to make nosie?
Andreas Thunér they use a stainless cotter pin in front. it's on their latest video
Some people say color doesn't matter, could you guys talk about color and what your thought process is when choosing please.
Not big color guys, whatever color had the last bite. YOUR confidence matters most.
Colour matters big time. Different fish species see different colours on a colour spectrum differently. This also changes with cloud cover water colour and the depth your fishing. There is more science to catching consistent big fish than just dumb luck. Also noise plays a factor if a fish cant see a bait clearly.

@@58biggfishh sounds great! Good luck
When can i get a flap 9
Hopefully this winter.
Ever use suicks
There my best fall bait
For sure. One of my first baits ever. (Lee)
💪
It seems like you guys snub Bulldawgs.
Not snub, I have caught many big fish on them. Just like the 3 tails on Dussas, mimics a school of bait similar to an Alabama Rig imo. (Lee)
