Do not email me asking for spots, you will be ignored
You had more than enough time too land it multiple different times I was literally screaming in my living room like how 😂
How? Cause I had 6lb line. You’re supposed to tire big fish out not horse them in.
Not with 6lb test and a pike on with no wire leader😂
@@Zak_zookie musky bud
@@flytyryguy whatever it is. Don’t have them around here
Bro you had a net@@bassntroutfishing
Don’t kick yourself man. You grabbed it by the tail so you absolutely landed it. If I get a big fish to my feet and he pops off I’m usually psyched because it’s a clean release. Not getting a nice picture for your memories can hurt but nothing about that catch should get you down! Outstanding fish on 6Lb. Especially without a steel or braided leader.
I’ll agree it’s a lot better than breaking him off out in the lake.. I did get to see him so I guess it’s kind of a catch!
As a fellow fishermen, I truly feel your loss !
Thanks bruh
So here's what a buddy of mine taught me: he carries a 4 ft piece of parachute cord rolled up in the pocket of his fishing vest. On one end he has tied a permanent loop large enough to put his hand through it. On the other end is a slip knot (like a lasso). When he catches a big fish and doesn't have a net (or the net is too small) he simply "tails" the fish (puts the slip knot around the tail and cinches it down). When a big fish tries to swim away the slip knot tightens and the fish can be held tight by grasping the permanent loop on the other end of the cord. Fish are easier to "tail" than to try to hold them by the body or lip or gills. If you've ever watched the TV series "Wicked Tuna," once a tuna is brought close to the boat with a gaff hook, the first thing the guys do is put a rope around the tail with a slip knot and it secures their catch!
Yeah that makes sense.. lot of armchair experts in the comment that say grabbing them but the tail is a no no. But they’ve probably never caught anything bigger than 2 pounds😂
Dude that happened to me on my first salmon of the year. It hurts. But I say that was landed . Out of the water and In hand. Enjoying the content. Glad to see the channel growing
Yeah at least I saw what it was!
Bro that’s was you’re fault … you had him just took way to long to actually land him trying to be careful lmao
What a troll this guy is. Mommy is calling you from the your basement room. It is bath time for Bozo.
He's right though! For starters you always need to come up with ways to land a fish! Not just try to grab them.
@@kingfish1025 definitely was his fault for taking too long to land the fish
If you have light tacke and you hook a muskie, ofc your gonna take your time. Use your head bud.
@@920fishing5 if you have light tackle and you hook a Musky, you should know that if you don’t land it fast enough it’s going to break you off
Would it have been beneficial to use the small net and try to scoop him up somewhat from his tail? Still we got to see a very good look at this fish and I'd consider it a catch
I feel your pain man, I’ve had that happen a lot to me so now when me and my buddies get one that close one of us will always jump in to grab it not worth the risk of losing it
Dude, that was intense! Lol, need to get you a bigger net!
-Jake, Aventuron
Hands on the fish, had him on land, then he left, I’d count that as a quick catch lol
LOL! Fish long enough & that just happens if you are being “gentle” on the fish with a light weight line. I agree with others that it was caught. If that happens to me & I want to keep the fish, what usually works is back up a bit from the bank. That keeps the fish from seeing you as easy & takes the deep bend out of the rod. When its tired enough to get near the bank reel & pull in one big continuous motion, so the fish builds up speed approaching the bank, & haul them up on shore. Then quickly run up & get between the fish & the water. Do this the first time the fish approaches the bank. The fish is still trying to figure things out. Don’t mess around with light line, haha. I don’t do this to fish I’m going to release though…. Otherwise you best get those feet wet & get in there, snatch that gill plate (gill PLATE, not gills), & lift them out of the water to unhook them if you don’t have a good net…. Better to have your experience then nothing! 🎣👍🏻
100000% count it as a catch! Your consideration for the safety of the fish was the ONLY thing that prevented it. Bravo! I was glued to the screen!
Thanks!
Actually when it comes to musky u don't want to play them that long cuz it exhausts them, I understand u had cuz u had 6 lb test, but why go fishing for big fish with 6 lb test, ur to experienced of a fisherman to make that mistake twice
If I was in this situation, after I grabbed the tail I woulda tried to get his head in the net and haul him further on shore. Trust me man! I once did this with a 3lb smallmouth, it hurts but it’s part of fishing! Tight lines man, hope u can get that Musky!
I can think of a lot of things I should have done watching the footage back over… and over……. And over🙁
I've had this happen to me, my tip is when you had him at the end , put you knee on the fish or wrap you arm around and scoop it up. I feel your pain my man. Keep up the good work 👊
I just sight fished a 3 foot bowfin today. He peeled drag and went under the bridge I was on. I would’ve had him in except the bank was immediately steep out the water with weeds blocking my view. I don’t know if I’ll see him again but It wouldn’t the biggest fish of my life.
That’s definitely a catch and release. If you needed that fish to eat you’d have had him. Being careful to not injure it is fine. It’s a catch.
For real, if he planned on killing it he would have fully beached it
You touched it. It's a catch!
Same happened to me with my 1st walleye in southern colorado while trout fishing. Still haven't hooked one since. And my 1st bowfin in arkansas I got him/her out out the water got hand on it but it still had a burst of energy and lost it.
When you net a fish you put in if front of them and slide it over their mouth, never from behind and never grab a fish by its tail, it will always slip out of your hands, grab it towards the middle or front of the body. Nice Muskie by the way, I wonder where in Colorado we have pike, muskie, walleye AND wiper, Im guessing Pueblo?
Bro, I know the EXACT feeling... I hooked into what was likely a 38" lake trout last ice season on a 26" medium light rod with 6lbs test. I fought that fish for about 15-20 minutes to get it to the hole. It was so big, I'm not even sure if I could of fit it's body up the 8" hole. I had it's head up, trying to get it by the gill plate, but every time I tried it would start thrashing and I didn't want to lose it. About 3 times this happened trying to get it up the hole, and on the last time I tried lifting it just a smidgen higher to get a better grab, and my line snapped... it was so worn out in just sat there beneath the hole for a few seconds before swimming away, and there was nothing I could do to grab it.
So I feel you man, I thought about that fish for a good 3 weeks after thinking about what I could have done differently. In the end, you hooked it, you touched it, so don't beat yourself up. It happens. Nothing left to do but get back out there and go after it again 💪
Man that sucks!!😂 it’s alright though. That’s why it’s nice to have video though, so even if you don’t have pictures you can go back and watch the fight! Thanks for watching!
Hooking huge fish with 6lb line must have been tough, but great job. At least you had a chance to grab the tail!!!
Better than not seeing him I guess!
Bro that was so painful to watch. Just grab his tail harder or give him a little toss onto the bank. He won’t be injured. Or when he’s half in the water half on the bank put the net in front of his head before he makes a run even tho it’s too small it would keep him in place while you get a firm grip on the tail. Ultimately there was a few ways that could have been avoided but I still count it as a catch. Absolutely beautiful fish
I’ve been through there buddy different times, but a thing you should remember when handling pike or musky is grabbing them by the gills not by the tails it’s way easier to get control of them even though you might get cut it’s way less slippery than grabbing them by the tail
You touched it twice, that’s a catch for sure.
Fun 10-15lb tiger Muskie, on 6lb test. More than a handful.. was still fun though. Right? You would have let it go anyway
Bro I really love your videos!
Thanks!
As someone else pointed out in the comments, you had him by the tail so It kinda count like landing him. So the way I see it, you freaking landed that fish like what, 3 times in that short video?! Incredible my man!
I feel your pain man! I was on the edge of my seat though while you were trying to get that in. What a fish!
Thanks 😂
We learned a valuable lesson today buddy
That was an excellent catch & release, done with 6 pound line. Well done 👍
😂
Oh Well, you did get video of the fight. That was a beautiful fish. Thanks for the video.
Sometimes you make mistakes when learning how to handle first time fish that are fairly large for even someone who is targeting those fish. Learn from it, remember it, and make the adjustments to land the next one like it. Love your journey and love your videos. I look forward to them cause we live and fish in the same places. Good luck.
One of my favorite places to fish. My son and I hammered the wipers there in the summer. It's definitely gotten hard to catch fish there. White curly tails and muscles are the ticket there.
You Landed him brother. Thanks for showing us. Good catch!
That lour that you found is one I have been looking for for months that is a amazing big brown trout lour
Watching you was more fun than catching that fish myself. Remembering the biggest fish I have ever seen would be a replay of what just happened to you. I got a bigger net for those 10 pounders. Can't buy memories like that😥
Yup, buying a bigger rubber net after this😂 thanks for watching!
what rod do u use?
Bro! I would say you caught it as well. Sure, there was no holding it up for the camera, but you had him. That's pretty awesome man! 🤘
Screw what the haters say. You did your best to land a nice Musky on light tackle. Was gonna take a long time to land that fish from the get go because it is a coldwater species with a LOT of fight. Props to trying to tire him out. 🤙
Dude, you totally landed that fish. You had him in your posession for like 10 seconds. You shouldn’t feel bad about it at all.
I feel bad! That looked like at least 10 pounds! But don’t give up! Keep trying and you will catch another fish that size!
This won’t be the last time I chase these things here!
Are you going to turn your bed into a camper? I remember a video where you stated you were going to build a little bed and all that in the bed with your topper. Is that still a thing?
"I know nothing about bass fishing..."
We are basically opposites as I say that same thing when I am filming my trout fishing episodes and you are very comfortable fishing for trout. For me, bass, no problem (usually), but trout........ forget about it.
If you got him within net or gaff range, count it. Plus you got the video.
Love the vids very entertaining
That lure you found is a Lucky Craft Pointer. $18 lure
Never caught a pike or muskie there, I caught a dang nice wiper off the dock this summer, also caught a bunch of carp...
If ur going for pike or musky, u need a bigger rod, more than 6lb test and wire leader, other u will just get broke or bit off everytime leaving the fish with ur lure stuck in his face
That was a nice muskie... epic battle
Awesome stuff! 👌
Love to see you again ❤
Thanks for watching!
Exact same thing happened to me a that same spot with 3 Different muskies, was using my medium light for wiper and hooked into the 3 different muskies, didn't have a way to land them, but the third I was able to pull up on shore
Thats a landed fish my friend. Lost the spoon but it will rust off of the fish. Nice video
Honestly bro I’d count that as a catch, u pretty much got him in. U got a hand on him and everything. Just a quick release!
thats what i said! he touched him more than once, when the muskie was on the shore, counts for sure
That wasn't a loss, you had him in your hands bro! Amazing fish!
Agreed, too much time playing with the fish and not enough time actually tryna grab it or get in the water a bit. Idk if you had expensive shoes but least you saw it
I knew what the title was, but Mt stomach still sank when I watched that line go slack
lost something that was a nearly 20" brown trout earlier this year but i had a difficult time hauling up a very steep bank. otherwise I would've fell 10 feet down into the creek
The way the line is curled on the end looks more like a fatigued knot pull, on the last hard run he did, Good job with 6 lb test, especially not panicking.
Yeah.. thanks for watching!
That counts, you touched it and had it on land.
DUDE that was epic no matter what.
That is why you grab them by the gill plate rather then the tail. Once you got them there they ain’t going anywhere.
You do not grab a fish by their gills unless you are plannng to keep the fish. He usually catches and releases,
@@kingfish1025 I’ve held the majority of my Esox, Salmon, and Bowfin from the gills. If you do it properly it doesn’t hurt the fish.
now that was a great fish man, least you had it there and got great video of it.. i know what lake your at, my great great grandfather is at reat in the town near by., yes love this vedio.
you touched it man it counts!!!
🔥
Your fear of touching that fish was hilarious!
I feel your pain mate. It sucks to loose a fish like that. I’ve tried to do the same with trout fishing gear and it doesn’t usually work. Love the video keep ip the great work
thanks for watching!
that was a nice tiger muskie right there!
This is why I always have a big net with a long handle.
it’s a catch for sure
That one count, you weren’t going to keep him anyway.
So sorry that hurts😢
I just had the mule deer of my reams walk over the hill on public land here in MT. Huge 4 x4 frame with extras and chocolate antlers. Couldnt get an ethical shot... I can def feel for you on this one. I can tell you one thing... Im going back!!!! Do the same!
That is a real tuff break, especially a Muskie I know you definitely wanted to get him out of the water and really be there with the fish and take proper pictures, but honestly you had the fish on shore with your hand on him so you really landed it in my opinion, but I understand I’m the same way I just don’t know how to feel. Also if you pause the video it actually looks like a picture with it so I say you landed it and released him easy!
I guess so. Got some good video of him at least!
You got to see him close up nice musky.
Get stronger line
You touched him - I say it counts!
I’m my book since you touch it, it counts as a catch, but I feel you I hate it when I lose a big fish
You had him in your hand twice?.
I would have waded in and grabbed it if I didn't have a net
I know that feeling. Sucks. Oh well. At least you got to pet it a couple of times.
Brother, I just arrived my home from fishing, I lost a fish it’s around 10 KG, that’s why I searched in youtube to see some one lived this moment to convince my self that it could happen 😫
I feel it. I’d count that for sure, it was on the land no doubt
I guess..😂
To be fair you did get your hands on that tiger muskie tho. Never have had the chance in my life so far.
gotta use heavier gear for muskies that that
I know you’re normally trout fishing so you were trying your best to treat the fish with care. But you could have easily held a stronger grip on that fish. Had it in your hands 3 times lol. We win some and we lose some. Next time don’t be afraid to grab ahold of it.
Nice fish Brother ! Dude it totally counts. There were to or three places where you could have had him. Unless you wanted him on the wall, not great loss. You have it all on a terrific vid ! Fish on !
Idk. Maybe I did want him on the wall. oh well… still hurts just a bit😂
I’m countin that one! U had him in hand and wore him down. U were gonna put it rt back in the water anyway. Reeled in and handled = Catch.
This is why I ALWAYS use 12lb mono with a steel leader.
I’m gonna miss the hair 💔
I say it counts since it was at ur feet multiple times
I felt this hard. This was me last night and the night before
count as landed 💪
A pic with that beauty would have been epic to have, but man that was tough to watch.
Kinda on you brother 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ mannn
Why not use your net? If you bet them headfirst it will work. I caught a carp 30 pounds with a net that size
ouch, happens to the best of us
it counts
You touched that fish like 3 times. You caught it lmao
I feel your pain
Whoops, Anybody's book
