Well done, you captured the emotions of fly fishing for musky. There are few things in life more satisfying than that experience. Congratulations to your wife and thank you for the video.
Thank you!
That was absolutely fantastic. I too am at the Newbie stage, the dream of doing it and accomplishing it stage. Have been for 10 years. I laughed a little and teared up a little as I felt their elation to get their first muskie on the fly. One Fish changes the whole day. Keep Grinding.
Thank you Forrest! I'm glad I was able to capture the emotions for you to experience.
This is genuinely the greatest fly fishing video I’ve ever seen. Way to show everything. So crazy!
Thank you 🙏
Excellent film!!! It was great meeting you both and fishing alongside at the Lower Fly the other day. Kurt (ups)😀👍
Congratulations to your wife for her first musky! Her strip set was pro level.
Thanks! She sure wasn't going to mess up her chance at landing it
Great flick....love the realism of missing, frustration, catching small and big. Well done👍
Thank you, Derick! Musky fishing can be quite the rollercoaster.
I about fell out of my chair laughing when the guide was introduced after he said he was going to prove it doesn't take 10,000 casts. When fishing for musky you need all the advantages you can get!
That's the truth.
This was extremely pleasing to watch. We've all been there, at some point. Thanks for posting this! Nice to see someone learning and not pretending to be an expert! Way to go!
Thank you 🙏
@@HigherElevations no problem! If you are ever in my neck of the woods, I'd be happy to give you some pointers and put you on some secluded water with lots of 'skis. Thanks again for the video!
I just moved to northern Maine 2 blocks from the St. John's river. Can't wait to learn muskie fishing.
Awesome! Good luck
Nice job guys! Truly captured the emotions of this crazy journey that is ... Musky on the fly
Thank you!
Man... find yourself a cool chick with a hint of badass and loves fishing and you've hit the jackpot!
This was a fantastic video of you folks. Congratulations! I’m a dyed in the wool muskie fisherman from Wisconsin, though I’ve been living in Utah and have been pursuing muskies since my first muskie I caught, in 1994. My wife is from Maine and it looks like we will one day relocate to this beautiful state of Maine. I’ve got a 9.5 St. Croix muskie fly rod, that I have never used, for I have never fished for muskies with a fly rod, I’ve only pursued them with “hardware.” I’m going to track you down when we do relocate to Maine. Tight lines, and stay safe out there. -Steve Ebbens
Thanks Steve! The St. Johns River holds some true trophies. Come give it a try!
Awesome!!! Great job guys (and gals!)
Thanks!
Amazing trip and video! Congratulations to everyone
Thanks!
Wow this is crazy. Camped on the river for 3 days this spring and lost one fish at the boat on the St. John right on that section…Two days ago I took a spontaneous trip to that same area as your second trip and got two!!! Never imagined catching musky from shore in a place like that. Now I’m sitting here watching other people do the same thing in the same place!
Awesome! Congrats! ... That lake is full of them
This is awesome
Thanks man!
Saw your presentation at Penobscot Fly Fishers Cabin Fever Reliever , this has been on my mind since. Maybe things go back to normal and I can get a guided trip in from you.
Thanks William! Contact Kevin McKay from Maine Fishing Adventures and he might be able to set something up with you this year. I'm sure he's booking trips already. His email: admin@maineflyfish.com
My home stretch of water you fished where you caught your first two fish. I’ve done really well all along that Canadian shoreline in that stretch and have done well off that ledge point across from there on the American side as well.
Yeah we had some decent action on the section but it was either hot or cold - no in between.
Great job guys! Enjoyed watching, i stuck my first musky on a fly the first eve out, was a good one but lost him 10 ft beside the boat.
Awesome thank you! ... Yeah those beasts have tough jaws. Hard to get a hook secured.
Gotta keep that rod down! That’s why you dropped that third fish. Even when you’re pulling the fish in, that rod tip’s gotta be below your knees. Great video!
Thanks for the tip
We don't have those here in europe but its pretty much the same when we fish for truely big pike here in the Netherlands on the big lakes and rivers. There are most days without one but if you get one its bound to be 80cm + and crazy strong, most of the times its closer to a 1m+ pikes with good chances of those breaking the 10kg mark, although I just measure length myself, you can guestimate fish that are in the late fall or early spring before spawning, 1.10m pike then generally go for 9 to 10 kg. I've had a big big pike follow my streamer in right at the belly boat just like that big musky, not intent to take it but just to see that weird thing in the water, for a good 20-30 secs, he just followed it, letting it sink, hang , strip fast, strip slow, figure 8 as far as its possible from that low in the belly boat all didn't work, but amazing to see such a beast of a pike at well over 1m, follow it without any form of being scared. I can understand after a long and sort of frustrating trip throwing big streamers on 10wts finally getting one releases all that pent up energy. Had pretty much the same for a weeklong trip to denmark for big big atlantic salmon, only to see the river was blown up due to rain and my lack of experience and good equipment led me to not catching one yet, but in the end having a very nice 65cm sea run brown trout after 5 days of not a single bite, but seeing the salmon jumping and swirling here and there. ( the rivers are very deep, dark and a bit clouded most of the time, especially after rain so no sightfishing only way to catch is deep down and dirty fishing the heaviest of lines and weighted flies just to get down the 3-4m holes and underrcut banks etc where they most definitely were. Next year hopefully I will get one in scotland, if we can go there with this situation in the world.)
Sounds like some awesome trips! If it was easy every time it wouldn't be as rewarding. Best of luck on your future trips. Tight lines!

Greetings my friend of course I also see your next video because I subscribed to you .. see you soon my friend 😉👍🇩🇪
Thanks for watching and subscribing! 👍
When you said you were shaking after catching that ski, I had the same on my first muskie a few months ago on a bait caster, about the same size too. Shit he had my hands shaking for a good 2 minutes
Awesome! Such an amazing fish and quite the feat to land one - congrats!
@@HigherElevations appreciate it, I thought I was snagged on a rock until it shook its head at me. 36-40inches
Beauty! That's a hell of a fish 👍
@@HigherElevations was just disappointed I couldn't get a picture with him, after I popped the hooks out he slipped from my hands. Thankful I live next to a river in Illinois that gets a good amount of muskie
Anywhere near Searsport? Mom grew up on the bay.
4 hrs north from there, on the Canadian border.
All that screaming all hollering is not helping, and poor etiquette.
Bet you are real fun at parties lmao.
