Watch 8 year old David Jacobson and his Dad Erik do battle with a giant 50 pound plus Mille Lacs Lake muskie in November.
"You don't wanna kill it do ya?"
"No I want it to grow bigger, I don't want anyone to kill it."
Man is raising that kid right
@Ian Lundquist shut up

What an awesome father and son moment captured for all time. The father learning the depths of his ability to give, and the son learning the depths of his inner strength. A truly moving and beautiful moment where each taught the other how to be better at being human.
Very cool synopsis, so true! Thank you so much.
amazing comment xD
Well said Chuck :)
Chuck Cooper Amen buddy.
Chuck Cooper Thanks for that on top of a just great little vid
"I can't." "No yes you can." That is what dads are for. #dadwin
That's a good one! Yup, never under estimate the power of your words to your children (good and bad). Thanks!
I’ve been on this planet 46 years. Bass fishing is my passion. Catching a musky is a dream come true for me. This kid made my day and possibly the rest of his life. Just an FYI,I have never caught a musky in all my years fishing. Mille lacs lake is on my bucket list for smallmouth and hopefully a giant musky. Great job dad and good job kiddo for having one of the most amazing experiences of your life at a very young age. It’s gonna be tough to beat for sure. GOOD LUCK!!,
Thanks G W, hope you get one!!
David, I don't know if you realize it or not, but you've caught a state record. We true muskie guys know that you don't need to kill an amazing fish to hold a title. Good for you for wanting that fish to live and grow. It is great to see that the future of our passion is in good hands. You are a true sportsman and your father has taught you well. Fantastic work and an unbelievable fish!
Yeah I was like isn’t that the state record
u r one hell of a fisherman and 1 hell of a dad kid will never forget this day ! it almost made me cry . U sir are a winner !
I’m 8 and I caught a 70 Center meter snapper lol
Thanks so much! It's was an unbelievable experience. Really proud of all my fishin kids!
Erik Jacobson, you are an amazing father!!! sooo cool man!! brought me back to fishing with my dad!
You're an Awesome Dad, You kept giving the fishing pole back to your son to let him land it. That's good fathering !! Hats off old man !!
Just wanted to say that your son is 8 years of age and his first Muskie is a 57 inch giant and guess what...
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN JACK SHIT MAN, HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This made me think of growing up without a dad to make experiences like this. You both are blessed. Thanks for sharing. Was a great watch. And good job!
As an avid Muskie Angler and introducing my kids to the sport I cannot help but get goosebumps and emotional when I see a father and son team up to land a giant fish. I only hope one day my children and me can experience a giant fish like this. I want nothing more in the sport of fishing to see my kids catch fish. Far more rewarding than catching your own!! Great job Dad and son!
"dont fall down"
"i already did"
so cute!
I bet that little guy will remember that for the rest of his life
Fact! :
I’ve seen this a million times and have probably already commented but man every time I watch this I’m smiling ear to ear. What a record fish. Best part is when the little one says I can’t do it! And dad sternly says YES YOU CAN! You both should be very proud
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it!
I have watched thousands of fishing videos, this may be the absolute best!!! Top 5 without question!!!! What a kid!!! Great job Dad!!!
Wow, thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!!
What a patient Dad, there’s no way I woulda let my kid possibly lose that fish. I can only wish to become this patient and giving.
Hats off to the both of you!
Probably the best video I have ever watched. Great job to your son, and great job on being an amazing dad!
What a great video of a father and son experiencing a wonderful life affirming moment. Fantastic!!!!
I gotta say the best thing next to the joy your son gets of catching a record fish is to see a perfect performance in fatherhood. Inspiring.
I watch about 15 fishing related videos a day on RUclips, I have been doing this for the past 5 years or so.
This is the best video I have seen here so far! absolutely epic!
I’m so impressed with how well he listened in that kind of environment. Even after netting the fish- he was always on the next step- pliers, gloves, kid never missed a beat. Two thumbs up Dad of the year.
Father’s Day last week and I stumble on this video! You sir are a true inspiration and certainly a hero for your son!
Great day to watch it! Thanks!
It doesn't get any better than that! A lot of adults would have taken that rod and landed it themselves...Kudos to you Dad, you're awesome!
Best Muskie video I’ve ever seen , Father and son fishing priceless . Great job dad ..👍
Thank Jimmy, really appreciate that!
That was truly incredible on so many levels. Obviously that monster fish, but on a deeper level, the father-son experience. Absolutely heartwarming. I think someone was chopping onions while I watched.
That's a moment that both of you will share for your entire lives, and never forget. Awesome that you guys let the fish live to see another day. Awesome job guys.
This video is amazing!!! I'm just getting back into fishing after being away for 20+ years. I have a 9 & 7 year old that I hope to have experiences like this with in the future! These are the memories that'll stay with you forever.
That was great to watch - something that son and dad will treasure for decades to come!
That was awesome! I loved how the dad was so adamant about letting the kid do everything. What a memory to have as a child. Great work and awesome muskie!!!
Thanks! Was awesome to watch him do it!
Little David's face was glowing. How wonderful this moment was captured on video to be relived and shared, Dad thanks for sharing this with the world. All dads everywhere this is how it's done.
Thanks for all the kind words! So glad the camera was up!
I have twin 8 yr old a 3 yr old and a 2 yr old now. These moments right here are the ones I look forward to as a fishing father. I'm glad I was able to see this video.
I was 27 when i caught my first muskie with my dad. What a great experience you guys had!
That's awesome!
What a great video. Brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.
Thanks, he's good at that! :
What an absolute giant. I love that the young man wanted to let it go. Thank you for sharing the video.
Thanks! Me too, he was ahead of his time :
Most dad's spend a lifetime trying to get moments like this with their children. You sir have captured it on film to live on in eternity. If only you could bottle that feeling...
Wow!! Good job little man! You handled that beast like a pro! Congratulations! That's a catch of a lifetime!
As a musky angler, this seriously might be my favorite youtube video.
Now that's saying something, thanks Rod! P.S. At first glance I thought your name was Rod Bending! :
That was wonderful to watch ... that moment will live with both of you as long as you live ... WELL DONE!
This is an unbelievably great video! The look of pure joy on your son's face is just great. Kudos dad.👍
Thanks M K, will never forget it!
wow man this video made me so happy. I'm only 20 but i cant wait for me and my son to have moments like this, its what its all about
You guys had me in tears at the end. I can only imagine how they felt. What an awesome video. Thank you for sharing! Good job, kid!
Hearts were beating! Thanks!
Great father son moment captured so that it will never be forgotten. congrats on breaking 50 inches buddy
Thx for this vid! Makes me think of my Dad & those were the best times we had together...RIP Dad
The raw emotion that was captured in this video is what makes it the best video I’ve ever seen! Congratulations!
Thank you!!
My son and I watched and cheered when you landed it…. Way to go!!!! From Northern Ontario.
Thanks guys!!
Best fishing video ! True father that gave your little man the memory of a lifetime
Thank you!
The pure emotion on that kids face... not a chance he's gonna forget that day!
Amen!
A father doing everything right in showing his young man how you go about it . BRAVO!
This video is 4 yrs old and looks like its about to finally go viral. Good job David
Thank you! I know, can't believe the re-birth! :
That's amazing man. That's a special moment of a lifetime. Great job dad and great job David.
It is impossible to watch this and not smile! Great job David, you're my HERO and you have one of the Worlds Best Dads!!
Very cool of the Dad letting his son reel in the fish and ultimately deciding the kid whether or not it would be caught..I'm sure both of them will never forget that day and smile every time they think of it..I'm glad I have moments of that also with my Dad..beats being successful jobwise, wealthy, or other false American dreams..great job both of you :-)!
Thanks! You're right, priceless moments there!
best dad ever I like how he didn't just push the kid out the way and catch it himself he made the kid feel special and happy and I thank you for that 👍👍👍
That is the best musky video I have watched! Good Job Father and Son!
The best part is when the son said " I can't do it " and the father just says... " yes you can! " and he did.. lesson learned there maybe more about fishing.
Great video! I'll never forget the first big fish I caught. Landed an 18-pound steelhead at six years old in Illinois during the seasonal run (Not sure what the length was). We got to the spot at five in the morning, and it was a good three hours until any of us got a bite, it was a horribly long wait. Once I felt the tug though, man it made the fight, the feel, the wait, so very worth it. Beat my brothers fish by two pounds, he was jealous but still happy for me. Felt horrible letting my Dad kill it, was such a beautiful fish. Silver as a dime and she was full of eggs too! This kid has the perfect mindset when it comes to fish, let em grow bigger for the next guy!
Man this video got me emotional! I had a tear to my eye, what an amazing experience that will stay in his mind forever. You two really handled it perfectly good job
Wow a lot of people could learn a lesson from this awesome young guy,when he said he wants it to grow bigger and not kill it.really loved this film me and my boy go fishing a lot but we don't have fish like that in England we catch pike instead.
i live in is real and i was born in austrailia i wanted to fish all day it was some of the best days of my life then my parents wanted to move to israel... theres no fishing spots anywhere it sucks
Just about everyone who fishes for Muskies practices catch and release
right? I'm wondering why it was even a question on what to do with the fish... never met someone who eats muskie, and unless for food there is ZERO reason to keep muskie, if you want it mounted, get measurements and tell the taxidermist
This is an excellent video. There really is nothing better than taking a child fishing, and having them fall in love with the sport.
Wow. Just wow. That is an incredible catch. At 8, he has a catch many fishermen (including myself) can only dream of. Well done! And it's great to see him release it. My personal best is 40, although I've had ones on the line bigger than that. Well done, David!
Love the Dad & son near flawless team work!
Hats off for this moment! Really well done both of you!!!
Thanks Mr!
Way to go David and Dad!
Thank you sir!
This video made my day! David, you did great! I can tell you have one hell of a father. My dad would've ripped that pole out of my hand and than told everyone "look at the Muskie I caught ". You guys make a great team!
Great dad. I have one. Just got back from a 7 day fishing trip in Minnesota, loved every second. Love you dad if you ever read this, I don’t think I’ll be here much longer. Love you all
You ok bud?
Hope you are still around and fishing.
Thanks Alan, hang in there!
Best...Dad...Ever. What an amazing accomplishment! David, you'll catch one even bigger someday!
That made my day! Thanks for sharing that awesome moment with the world!
We are looking at a future Muskie whisperer. Loved the way you both held your composure.
I love this so much, brings me right back to when I got my first musky at 10 after 3 years of trying and it was the top of my fish bucket list musky, marlin, and tarpon, there is no feeling more awesome than landing a fish like that as a kid
Have to agree, he was pretty fired up! Thanks Trystan!
Right on!!!!! Pops and son and thanks for the release
THAT WAS AWESOME !! Your son will NEVER forget this day !! Great job Dad !!
Thanks Ray, definitely one for the books!
"I'm never gonna" I know this was 3 years ago but this is my favorite video on youtube. I want my first muskie so bad and you dadded it up so perfect. Incredible vid guys
Thanks so much! If you haven't got one, I hope you do!
you both did an excellent job staying calm even though it was a heavy load for him! "don't fall though.." " I already did" said David
Way to go young man and dad !! You are a really impressive family , to turn back a monster like that was doing nothing less than allowing another father and son to have an awesome memory, you both should be very proud of yourselves . I know I am , tight lines on a side note dad great job you raised a fantastic young man .👍👍
Man I love this! When David said I can't and dad said yes you can! Just amazing!! Proud of that boy and what a great dad! Good job you guys!!!
Thanks so much Gallagher!
Awesome job as a father.. didn’t yell at your son or get uptight in a stressful situation. My dad would have turned this into a very unhappy, stressful situation where I did nothing but screw up. You did the opposite. Great work.
Watching this just made my day sooo much better.. Way to go dad! Im a passionate fly fisherman and i have a son "in the making". delivery at christmas time.. This is what i hope to get to do with my son when he gets old enough! Tell your son that he is the coolest kid i have ever seen! Tight lines. :-)
Hey, thank you so much! I had David read your post and he got a big smile on his face. Wishing you many blessings with your new son, before you know it you will be fishing with him, so cherish every toddler moment. Time has a way of passing very quickly! P.S. I see you have a guitar, I'm a drummer, love it!
Yeah time has never really been a good friend of mine.. :-) have been playing guitar for 18 years now and still loving it just as much as in the beginning.. Theres just something about playing an instrument isnt there? hypnotic and healing in a strange kind of way.. My wife always laughs as i tell her where getting a heavy metal loving son with the need to fly fish.. :-D
Wow what an amazing big Musky!!! Your son seems so proud and happy, that's awesome! I think he will remember these moments during his whole life! right on!
I think so too, thanks!
That's amazing. Great Father Son moment. Congrats David 😎
congratulations on an awesome catch David! My favorite part was your comment about not wanting anybody to kill the fish! I feel the same way buddy, let her grow bigger for next time!
This brings tears to my eyes as I remember doing this with my father. Now my father is alive and well and I should not be such the baby but by far moments like these are my favorite memories
Amazing! - what fishing is all about, chuffed son and even prouder father.
I entered my eldest daughter for a small match at a local lake when she was 12 - her against 17 boys, and she won. I know how you're feeling!!
Well done both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just watched this (again) with my youngest. Thanks for the inspo!!!
You bet, glad to hear!
Great dad award of the day!
Now that's a great father and son relationship!
This brings back so many memories of fishing with my dad. Heartwarming.
this video is gold. pure gold. memories were made this day
This is the best video and the best fishing adventure I have seen. I could only think of my father and I when I was a kid fishing with him and my grand-father! What a blast! And what respect the father has for his son and his son has for the fish, that's a great team! O, nice fish by the way!! LOL
Yup, I have a bunch of those same memories with mine, awesome, thanks!
This is truly and farther and son moment well done you 2 keep up the good team work my friends. My son is 5 and we caught a pike last weekend he's a little nervous around the fish but he sure loves to fish I can't wait to have this experience with my son! Cheers Erik...
easily one of the best videos ive seen
You know it's a big Musky when the thing barely fits in a MUSKY net! Awesome fish, priceless moment.
Tight lines are always more enjoyable when a youngster has hold of the rod. Great moment. Great catch
Love the look on a kids face when they're reeling in a fish!
This vid should be in the official handbook of great parenting.
Thank you! You're to kind!
What a great DAD! This video made my day! thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing
Great video!! Best father and son fishing video I have seen on RUclips
That was awesome. Congrats little buddy. Great job dad.
Nice. I once caught a 38 inch pike when I was about that age... I feel a little inadequate now... but on the other hand I did it all by myself early in the morning while my dad and everyone was sleeping... Actually my younger sister netted it so it wasn't 100% solo but yeah, this is pretty epic either way. Ive never even caught a muskie before.
What lake was this? I love the camera set up he has. So lucky with this footage. The boy will have this video and memory for life.
Lake Mille Lacs, he sure will!
Nice job, David! When I was your age my dad took me Chinook salmon fishing, and some guys in a passing boat cheered me on as I reeled in a 42" male. It was exhausting, haha. Good for you. Awesome picture of you with that trophy fish.
Great moment, great fish, and even better that the kid has the respect and knowledge, so young, to call a muskie beautiful and wants it to live and grow . always great to see when kids are brought up right! Great video..
Great job young man I have never caught one that big before. Special times with your Dad you should never forget. ❤
Sure was!
That is some Awesome Father and son fishing!! That was a monster muskie!
