    What an unbelievable Walmart challenge. That musky truly was a fish of a lifetime. You guys will probably hammer me for not carrying a scale/tape to measure this amazing fish, but I can promise you I've been harder on myself. I honestly thought it was low 40s, but I should have known better. I won't forget this fish EVER.

    Not sure if I made it clear enough at the beginning of the video, but my intentions were to make a video using only "cheap" baits from Walmart. Cheap was defined as less than $3. I ended up with the bitsy bug jig, a 2-pack of Creme swimbaits, beetle spin, crappie crank bait thing, $1 inline spinner and a pack of chunk trailers for the jig. I used them all, but only caught fish on the bitsy bug and inline spinner...but I did catch 3 species!

      I'm guessing that musky was between 51-54 inches. I've caught several about that size. Probably a 35 lber. Great catch dude!!

      I have been fishing for 30 years and I've NEVER caught a Musky, let alone one that crazy big. Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw. I have been fishing down at my local dam for the last 20 years off and on and I had been targeting hybrid striper bass for months. One day I walked down and threw a bluegill swimbait in the waterfall on my first cast and BAM! It grabbed it as soon as the water. I reeled him in and it was a 12.2 lb 29" striper. There were 4 guys standing next to me that had been down there for hours and hadn't caught anything, they were so pissed off, but they still came over and helped me. It just goes to show you that you never know.

      1) companies target these guys who think the more expensive the better, literally fishing for fishermen

    Nothing to apologize for. Up here in Michigan I'm a diehard Muskie Fisherman and you did everything right considering you didn't intend on catching this fish. Well done on bass gear, no leader and cheap hooks! You didn't have a Muskie net so you did your best to land that fish. My only recommendation is to properly hold and handle a fish of that size with a better grip using what we call a "leech lake lip lock." What you did was close but slide that hand under the full gill plate avoiding touching their gills and then using your thumb on the outside of gill plate just outside of the Y jawbone to have a secure grip. The fish was fine but more concerned about your thumb. If that fish would have thrashed or headshaked you could have very easily cut your thumb really bad! Their teeth are super sharp!! Also, it's possible to lose your grip possibly dropping the fish. Only recommendation I see and don't worry about the negative stuff. I've been a Muskie Fisherman for a really long time, always promote CPR and proper handling with the proper tools. You did the very best you could and should be proud. Great job!!

    Dude, you caught a 50-incher on a Bitsy Bug. A 50" musky is like a 10# bass. Catching a 10 pounder at Lake Fork or Clear Lake is impressive, catching one from a city pond in the Midwest is amazing! The same goes for 50" muskies and places like Ontario or Lake St. Clair.

    I dont musky fish. But striped bass fish. That thing looked anywhere ill give u a large range: from 30-50lbs. Im guessing around 40lbs. Man Im proud of you. That was beautiful. I dont think they have musky in jersey. I pray to catch one one day. That is awesome. U brought him in like a pro too. Nice work man. 😊

    Another guy on TH-cam made a wooden block lure, just a simple wood block with hooks on it and he caught a fish with it. I think 95% of these lures are overrated for the price that they demand.

    "[Bitsy bugs] don't have very good hooks." That has definitely not been my experience with them, and it looks like the hook was sharp enough to stick a musky, and strong enough to keep her pinned.
    And next time, lay the rod next to the fish, then mark the rod with something so you can measure it later. Electrical tape, string, a big snell of line, whatever.
    Nice fish!

    I realize that this video is old af, but I think a video with a Walmart budget challenge would be cool. I have mostly Walmart purchased tackle (other than my real legit gear), but I make $30 an hour and can't afford a $250 Stardic reel or a $200 Favorite or St Croix rod to go with it. I'm not talking shit, I'd just really like to see Benny go to Walmarx, get a $50 rod and reel, some lures, and snag into something like this. Like I said, I'm not talking shit at all or hating, I'd just like to see a guy like this that makes his living off of TH-cam go out and do his best with whatever's mostly available at Walmarx.
