I have a particular set of skills. Skills that make me a nightmare for TH-camrs like you. I will find that river and I will fish it. All joking aside Brian is the man!
I don’t fish a lot of bucktails (call me crazy, I know, I know) but I do use spinnerbaits pretty regularly and I happen to strongly prefer a single blade. I just think the more distinct “thump-thump-thump” is easier for them to find with their lateral line than the more buzz/humming tone of the multi-blade ones.
Brian is literally eating what I did last weekend on the boat when I was muskie fishing. I had 2 follows and 2 fish bite my bait, but unfortunately, I didn't get any in the boat.
Last year’s early season pike trip, and my first of the year, I ended up with 7, yes 7, missed strikes on topwater. Fishing a very shallow and soft bay in the spawning period, like 2’ or less, so topwater is kinda all I could use. Fun day, but a bummer, too. A couple of them were absolute monsters, very large and wide heads coming after the lures.
Rubber fish lures will always catch fish. It is a natural prey. So why do squid looking baits like the medusa, tubes and bucktails work on musky? They are not a natural food source nor something they would see in nature. The pike and musky we fish are relatives of the barracuda who`s favorite food is squid. It is very likely that all fresh water fish were once salt water fish that looked a little different than the fresh water versions. Salmon can actually cross over from salt to fresh water for breeding. Once the world was covered in sea water. 12 Thousand yrs ago the ice age suddenly ended. The ice melted fast and it flooded the whole world. Sea water covered the land! Over time the water withdrew leaving inland lakes. Evolution and a change from salt to fresh water due to rainfall and time, created a new fish species. Pike and musky. They don`t look like the barracuda no more but they still have the old prey lists in their minds. Squid being one of them. So I tried some salt water squid swim baits from Savage Gear on lake St. Clair. The musky tore it up! I was using the 10 inch soft rubber realistic swim bait and put 14 fish in the boat in one day!! They were not giants, but averaged 20 inches to 30 inches. It was a blast! I never caught so many fish in one day! Word to the wise. If you manufacture musky baits, bigger would be better. These squid swim baits look amazing in the water but they are too small. 15 to 20 inch versions would be the big ticket! The medusa works good but the squid swim baits worked a lot better! The more it looks like a real squid, the more fish you will put in the boat!!! Evolution never forgets its favorite food!
All the old timers that I've had discussions with swear about the very early morning bite. I think a breakfast color pattern of some sort should be included in the lure line ups.

That was a awesome eat on the 8 my man👍I love the early morning's. Seems like early in the a.m. is when I have the bulk of my luck musky fishing.
Hey Lee!! Amazing video just like always! Love the content and was wondering where you got your bump board/measuring board from?

I just watched his video of the net save on a giant!! Beautiful fish it was!
It sure was!

What river is that!!?? ...... i know i know. The one with water in it. Awesome guys keep it up.
Great video thanks 😊
Great video thanks 😊
What part of Wisconsin are you in is it near Madison?
Up north
What kind of boat is this?
Not sure- Grumman?
Where are the “That just happened!” T shirts Lee?
😆
that camera view on that muskey hitting in the figure 8 couldn't have been any better such a good clip
6 cameras running bound to get a good one!
Nice to see you two fishing together again.
@Angling Anarchy
You are off to one heck of a season. From this, it sounds like you did OK up on Eagle Lake. I can't wait for the videos.
@thelonesomefisherman7425 Eagle was good! I'll have those videos coming out in later July!
@@AnglingAnarchy Glad to hear you had a good trip.
How do you feel after cutting out all caffeine that’s impressive
Less stressed abd I don't miss it at all once I got past a few weeks.
You should probably learn how to put the fish back properly
Fish shake🤷♂️
All hail Brian! He's had a hell of an early season so far
That was a terrible release this is why so many die by improperly release after catch
The fish shook out of his hand. You have never had that happen to you?
