Wow ! Robby so awesome to see you rewarded with a giant of that caliber. For the effort you put in it is well deserved!I would love to fish with you and Lee some day.
I’ve heard that after they eat, the balance of the meal and their swim bladder is off so getting a gulp of air can rebalance them. Not sure of the legitimacy but I can say I’ve casted at every single one I’ve seen and only successful boated 2 so like 99% of the time, they aren’t in a feeding mode for me
I hooked a big one on a Medussa on Vermilion last year, she came to the surface, tossed the hook, and slowly bobbed her at the surface for nearly 10 seconds afterwards
Man hearing that girlish screech come out of Robbie puts a smile on my face, when the panic sets in ya know Robbie’s got a big fish haha so awesome man.
That was quite a beast Robbie. Congrats on breaking the dry spell. Now ya's just need Lee and Heidi's bad luck streak to end. Good luck guys...Tight lines.
Great monster fish Robby 🎣. About the porpoising. No clue as to why but what I find hilarious about it is they don’t seem to care about a nearby boat. The time I saw one she came 5 feet from the boat the full length of the boat and then dove down maybe 15 yards away. Pure showmanship and “10s” awarded by all judges on boat. It reminds me of a kid popping a “wheely “ on a bike right past you 😆
I’ve seen this before here in Saskatchewan. It is usually during a feed or after. Most times it’s when they take a larger fish and it’s taking a while to ingest the fish or to digest.
I think muskies cruising the top are "scouting" the area. I've seen this a few times and twice I ended up getting one. I didn't get it right away but both times they hit about a half hour after I saw them "cruising".
“When you fish for big fish you have to pay the price” it’s the same with carp fishing. Literally spent the whole of 2020 trying to catch my first 20lb carp. I managed to catch that in December just before Christmas. In fact I caught 2 in one session. 1 at 20lb 11oz and the other at 23lb 15oz. It’s all about how much effort you put in. Not how many lures you have or how much bait you put in. Nothing is a substitute for time on the bank
I love to bounce bottom with big swimbaits but I usually change the hook to the top side of the bait. Hooks on the bottom usually means I loose the bait on a snag. How do you not snag bottom?
Welcome to Minnesota!!! What an absolute hawg, dude! Congrats! If you ever get a chance, fish Cass Lake...In one morning I both lost, and saw, the two biggest muskies of my life. Gravel bars. Never seen the head out of the water thing, that was nutty (doesn't surprise me - muskies lol) , but I frequently see them just sit on the surface - with their dorsal fin and tail exposed.
Its actually because the fish just ate a very large meal. the warmer surfacewater aids in digestion by speeding up their metabolism and the fastest way to warm up is sticking your head out
Congrats Robbie. That’s a big payoff for all the grinding - what a beast. But seriously Dude, put on a glove for the giants! Great edit, nice shots from the sky too. A banger vid indeed.
I’m not really a musky chaser but did some tiger musky fishing from shore on a lake in New Mexico while I was working out there. The lake was originally a trout lake but became overrun by giant goldfish. The DNR stocked tiger Muskie’s to get rid of them and they became a hit! Now the lake is stocked heavily so that there are 20-40 Muskie’s per acre in the lake. It’s not really natural because there are so many and most I caught were 40-45 inchers. I think it was Blue Lake or Blue something reservoir - you can find videos on TH-cam. The lake is approx 45 miles west of Albuquerque. Anyway, I only spent 6-7 days total fishing on this lake and I witnessed dozens of Muskie’s swimming with heads out of the water there daily. I don’t know why either but if you want to see lots of it and catch unbelievable piles of big musky you really need to put that one on your bucket list.
Lee, from what ive read from similar sightings, after a predator eats a large meal it rises to surface to help speed metabolism and swallow its meal, pike, musky, tigers all do this and generally wont eat while doing so. Cool stuff
Congrats on that monster my friend!! Makes all the tough outings & tough luck with failed Eagle trip recently all worth it! Keep grinding, plenty of big fish season left in 2019 🤟🏼
How good is their eyesight? Could they be searching for surface bait? I know they have snatched ducklings etc. Holy crap that was a monster! Cool to see that even though you guys have caught tons of musky before, the excitement level was through the roof! I could see Robbie shaking.
I might be really late here but Larry the musky legend was saying how some of these giant fish that are in their late teens don’t make but one mistake a year if that
I noticed that your bottom bouncing of madusa is pretty aggressive. Is that pretty hard to learn? Any tips to a begginer? Also does require extra heavy? Thanks
Come to Chautauqua Lake, just south of Lake Erie in western NY. Its known for its massive Musky's, just the other day I heard a story of one 5 feet long. It might be worth checking out.
It was by word of mouth, so there could be some memory error but I was told that the fish was held up to a boy(the man's son) that was 5 foot and it was from his head to his toe. Whether the story is true or not there are big fish in the lake and I think it would be worth you guys checking out.
I was with you the entire time ... sort of ; ]. Outstanding! ...Since I was a rug rat I've heard of too many instances of ''Skis' coming at ya right up to your boat, and looking up at you and flipping the bird, and then carrying on. Not today ....
I've never seen muskies or pike wallowing after a big meal, however on LOTW i have witnessed many muskie or pike like fish breach. Many splash downs in a day of fishing. Robbie you need to take Lamas classses for your breathing, you are going to hyper-vemtilate sometime and pass out. OH and NNNNNIIIIIICCCCCEEEE FISH! great video!
I have no idea why esox do that!? Maybe sensing for prey on top of the water like that. Maybe it has something to do with the 6 sensory pores on thier bottom jaw and all over thier head ? I know they tend to pick up electrical impulses from prey that way like a lot of big fish predators salt/fresh water do. As far as I know. But who knows? Awesome cool video guys!
Robbie thats how i fish for big pike late fall on big rubbers. Let it fall to the bottom and rip let fall and rip. And man did it produce pike. And a nice 17 lber also. But not the 40 pounder i am after but when i catch her you and lee will be the first to see a picture of her
Lmao! Heidi making P.B.&J. sandwich's with a Daredevle Husky spoon. I think that's awesome. Come on, Heidi! It's your turn to get the big fish. Show Robbie and Lee who's boss. Never give up, Heidi. All it takes is the one right cast. Congrats, Robbie on another giant. Why do muskie's and pike stick their head out of the water like that? They do it on porpoise!! Somebody had to say it. I'll leave now. (ducks rotten eggs, tomato's and other assorted ripe veggies.)
I've seen chain pickerel do it too here in Massachusetts. I think they are checking for fisherman so they know not to bite haha
Matt Sexton haha true
Wow ! Robby so awesome to see you rewarded with a giant of that caliber. For the effort you put in it is well deserved!I would love to fish with you and Lee some day.

Saw the same thing on vermilion and when asking for the same answer
I've been told the same and I've seen it myself. A big ski surfacing for a gulp of air never bites, her belly is full already
I hooked a big one on a Medussa on Vermilion last year, she came to the surface, tossed the hook, and slowly bobbed her at the surface for nearly 10 seconds afterwards
Heidi’s a Pointer! Me too! Grad in ‘93. Love the sweatshirt plug.
Man hearing that girlish screech come out of Robbie puts a smile on my face, when the panic sets in ya know Robbie’s got a big fish haha so awesome man.
I just had to re-watch you Robbie catch the huge musky. You get so excited... Great video.
That was quite a beast Robbie. Congrats on breaking the dry spell. Now ya's just need Lee and Heidi's bad luck streak to end. Good luck guys...Tight lines.
That first fish reminded me of a fish I had the pleasure of seeing on Eagle many yrs ago. Great video!
My cabins in portage bay up where u guys were, I see it all the time. They are looking for baby loons or other birds to eat!
Those head shakes when you pulled her out.
Robbie's thumb and hand still shaking when demonstrating his retrieve after landing that hawg! That's the rush and the feeling right there!
That fight, Robbie... damn! You’re a beast!
Great video, guys! I never miss an episode!
Hey great video 😎 just bought two of your flap tails and waiting to get in the mail can't wait to get!
Thank you!
That fight was TENSE! Great video, guys
Thanks Nick!
SICK SICK SICK. Good job Robbie !!!!
Awesome video, leech lake produces some giant Fish. Beautiful place can’t wait to get back to leech lake !!!
Just seeing the complete team had me enthralled whether a fish was boated or not.
Robbie's fine two musky day was the gift....fine job team.
Saw you guys out there grinding on the 14th. Glad to see the success!!!
Just keeps getting better!
Great monster fish Robby 🎣. About the porpoising. No clue as to why but what I find hilarious about it is they don’t seem to care about a nearby boat.

Awesome fish Robbie I was there in August with family for a week tough fishing no musky glad you got a monster!!!

i guess it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Tate Jeremias I use flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Maddox Draven yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since april myself :D
@Maddox Draven Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!!
@Tate Jeremias You are welcome xD
Nice musky Robbie, great video content as always.
Hey - nice fish. What kind of depth are you fishing when you were bottom bouncing?
I love to bounce bottom with big swimbaits but I usually change the hook to the top side of the bait. Hooks on the bottom usually means I loose the bait on a snag. How do you not snag bottom?
Back in the day I would run a baglys red fire tiger and slow roll it near the bottom with a few twitches in the retrieve. Nice fish Robbie
Wow that was so cool, the power of that fish was insane. Peeling drag on tranx. I wanna catch a musky.
Welcome to Minnesota!!! What an absolute hawg, dude! Congrats! If you ever get a chance, fish Cass Lake...In one morning I both lost, and saw, the two biggest muskies of my life. Gravel bars.

Sooo good guys! Way to catch a freaking giant!
Sweet transition at 5:25
What a whopper musky you caught Robbie. Well done...

Pike do that thing on the lake my cabins on in minnesota
Hey can you guys please show us a tutorial on how to troll for musky and the rods to use?
Your camo jacket, where can I purchase???
I have seen pike do that here in Ottawa, Ontario.
Unreal muskie robbie well done and well earned persistence deffineatly paid off.
They are deflating there air bladder from being in the depths for to long, bc of the expansion of gas build up from digestion
👍🥓
Congrats on that monster my friend!! Makes all the tough outings & tough luck with failed Eagle trip recently all worth it! Keep grinding, plenty of big fish season left in 2019 🤟🏼
Esox are related to Umbridae aka mud minnows which are surface breathers.
Huh, didnt know
Yes pretty interesting stuff. Could explain the behavior or maybe just a coincidence.
How good is their eyesight? Could they be searching for surface bait? I know they have snatched ducklings etc.
Holy crap that was a monster! Cool to see that even though you guys have caught tons of musky before, the excitement level was through the roof! I could see Robbie shaking.
Loved the video! I have seen this in a lot of your videos, what brand line are you using that is bright yellow/green. Thanks
Power Pro Super Slick V2 80lb
I might be really late here but Larry the musky legend was saying how some of these giant fish that are in their late teens don’t make but one mistake a year if that
That fight with that musky was pretty epic, strong fish
Nice work. 🐟🐟🐟
Robbie you need to take valum with you on these trips lol.
🤣
I noticed that your bottom bouncing of madusa is pretty aggressive. Is that pretty hard to learn? Any tips to a begginer? Also does require extra heavy? Thanks
Easy but should use an xxh rod.
congrats on the huge Musky. Bondi baits work very well too.
What a fantastic trip.I should catch something half as good as that brute.
Intense makes me happy watching
Come to Chautauqua Lake, just south of Lake Erie in western NY. Its known for its massive Musky's, just the other day I heard a story of one 5 feet long. It might be worth checking out.
Liam Miller a 60” fish??? Yeah I would definitely have to check out that story
th-cam.com/video/T0580LTGwkE/w-d-xo.html Here is a 49.5 out of the lake.
th-cam.com/video/nYdCwmU5zqA/w-d-xo.html Another big one.
Liam Miller their have been 55” fish caught where I live in Tennessee but 60 is a whole other caliber of fish
It was by word of mouth, so there could be some memory error but I was told that the fish was held up to a boy(the man's son) that was 5 foot and it was from his head to his toe. Whether the story is true or not there are big fish in the lake and I think it would be worth you guys checking out.
Now that was sweet nice fish Robbie what's your pb musky
I was with you the entire time ... sort of ; ]. Outstanding! ...Since I was a rug rat I've heard of too many instances of ''Skis' coming at ya right up to your boat, and looking up at you and flipping the bird, and then carrying on. Not today ....

I saw this happen a few weeks ago on Pelican. Why?
I have seen pike do that before and i really believe it's because they are trying to swallow something
It helps them digest food after eating.
It has something to do with balancing their air bladers or maybe they are trying to digest their food
Robbie pretty much luckiest kid alive
I have no idea why esox do that!? Maybe sensing for prey on top of the water like that. Maybe it has something to do with the 6 sensory pores on thier bottom jaw and all over thier head ? I know they tend to pick up electrical impulses from prey that way like a lot of big fish predators salt/fresh water do. As far as I know. But who knows? Awesome cool video guys!
Beautiful fish Robbie
Ive seen that dozens of times on st clair
Great stuff guys!
We saw a Muskie do that on eagle lake Canada
I've seen tiger muskies in the Tug river here in West Virginia swim around with thier head out of the water..never could figure why.
Rusty Mullins I’ve watched state record sized tigers in mountwood do it as well. Also seen normal muskies do it in the Hughes
She picked that thing up as soon as you lifted it off bottom. Bet that bite felt Great
I’ve seen it on leech too
GO POINTERS!!!
Congratulations on the monster Robbie! I can't believe how massive the mouth on that musky was! Absolutley insaine!
What a great fish!
Robbie thats how i fish for big pike late fall on big rubbers. Let it fall to the bottom and rip let fall and rip. And man did it produce pike. And a nice 17 lber also. But not the 40 pounder i am after but when i catch her you and lee will be the first to see a picture of her
What a pig 😳 Beautiful edit as well, def one of my favorite vids since the Fox river double 50s. Congrats Robbie, y'all have been grinding.
Awesome big belly Fish!
I would do anything to fish with you guys
Go Pointers, class of 2010 !
What's the line greenish line you guys are using?
Power Pro Super Slick V2 80lb
@@TodaysAngler awesome, love your guys videos
Do you like it better than the regular PP?
When great whites and other sharks do it's called periscoping why a musky would do that idk shoreline orientation?
A friend of mine also has witnessed muskie swimming with they're head out of the water on lake St Clair, interesting behavior.
Carp do it as well
I would have to be sponsored by Folgers.. I can't drink them energy drink's. . Great video as always..
Tough year all round.
who is heidi to robbie and lee?
The fish to that to Digest
Supposedly to clear their gills.Just what I've been told by diff.musky fisherman I encounter.
When "HYPER-INHALATION" BEGIN'S.....50 inches is on its way" to the boat" Musky Whisper'r Strikes Again!!! Way2Go!!!
🤣
Lmao! Heidi making P.B.&J. sandwich's with a Daredevle Husky spoon. I think that's awesome. Come on, Heidi! It's your turn to get the big fish. Show Robbie and Lee who's boss. Never give up, Heidi. All it takes is the one right cast.
Congrats, Robbie on another giant.
Why do muskie's and pike stick their head out of the water like that? They do it on porpoise!!
Somebody had to say it. I'll leave now. (ducks rotten eggs, tomato's and other assorted ripe veggies.)
poor lee cant catch a break xd
Finally huh…….Nice!
The musky was looking for fishing boat s and people lol
man what a wide body, congrats Robbie. Full mashed potatoes brains looking at that thing
Lee makes me laugh my ass off
GET SOME SLEEP! EPIC GIANT"MUSKIE" YU GUYS ROCK!
If he would have his drag set then he dosent have to pull drag out to let line out
Agree
Hook set gets week then.def want her tight at least untill you know sank the hooks!
I've had smaller muskies than that make me utter similar noises..
I think they surface to see if there is even a fart of wind out there
