Back in 1994, I was staying on Lake of the Woods and a native Canadian brought back a 56" Muskie that weighed in at 46 lb's. This chap had been adopted as a child by a U.S. Doctor who educated him to be an attorney. He always went back to LotW for vacation and to only pursue Muskie's. He claimed he was looking for a larger one he saw the previous year but was satisfied with this one. I remember comparing him to my office desk which was 60 inches and realizing this fish would just barely lay on the top. This guy was the consummate fisherman. I was proud of my 3 lb. walleye.
Big props on how gently you treated the fish and how quickly you worked to get her freed and back in the water. This is the example that needs to be set.
Alex BRB this is how i feel with any fish with teeth im deathly allergic to fish but love fishing too much to stop so everytime i hook even a little pickerel i get a lil bit of an adrenaline rush
@@notmyname9625 hey pickerals are one of my excite fish. But most of all smallmouth. I go absolutely crazy even if its a fry! I love smallmouth. Yep. I do.
What I love about Muskie Fishing is the teamwork, the zero jealousy wishing you caught it and not your buddy, when it follows the first guy in and it keeps swimming his buddy points at it making sure that his other buddy keeps his bait moving to catch it, then immediately grabs the net, fuckin awesome work
Muskies always look like they’re really pissed about something. But then, every one I’ve seen has a hook in him, which would probably make me a little cranky, too.
Spot on from beginning to end. Net was as ready as the guy who ran it. Hook cutters ready to go, cameras running. Great photos in a very timely manner. Handling the big ones "perfectly" is impossible but this was as good as it gets. Awesome fish!
That was awesome that you showed the removal of the hooks and how it was done in a way that didn't cause undue stress to the fish. Most muskie anglers on RUclips cut that part of the video and only show the catch and rarely the release.
Justin Vachon Exactly, I hate seeing people pass around a Muskie forever taking turns taking pictures with it. These guys had him back in the water in no time , real fisherman !
@youtube user im no expert (obviously) so I could be wrong and I know this is an old comment, but the hooks don't stay in the mouth forever. Depending on the type of hook, they will typically come out within a few weeks. It ain't uncommon for people to cut the hooks on toothy fish because of the potential threat of getting your hand tore up. But, again, take my words as they are, just an opinion
This is a good example why it's hard to muskie fish by yourself. Imagine catching something like this alone, with a small boat in he middle of nowhere. Great job handling the fish and releasing it, nice video.
I went walleye trolling at Lake Erie once and hooked into a HUGE Muskie, but we didn’t have a big enough net to land him, and he got away. That fish still haunts me.
Good lord. We have nordic pike in Finland. They grow up pretty big sometimes, but whenever I see musky videos they kind of freak me out. What absolute monsterfish :D
What a monster Muskie, great coverage of the near boat strike and well done on handling-releasing the giant... including the write up in the description... Congrats!
Pro fish handle! Kudos for the footage and the respect shown for that old fish. when a big ski like that inhales a bait it can be a real battle to sort out your lure. You made that look easy!
Too bad the tail was half gone, another 3" for sure! Nice job on such a big fish, they are a handful over 45" I don't think any of mine over 40"have gone that smoothly. Cheers
40 lbs, 50 lbs; what's the difference... In Hemingway's own words, being an avid fisherman himself he was quoted as saying "What was big was not the fish but the chance. What was full was not my creel, but my memory." Happy memories my friend. I've been a muskie for over 40 years. You guys can go to my facebook page to see the 57 incher I caught and released last year. We are a rare breed. Weight is not important to me. When you see muskies that big on video, you know it can be a fish of a lifetime. Keep fishing brother and post more videos. Real nice fish. Congrats!
Amazing fish guys but I'm with quite a few of the other comments about cutting the hooks, surely micro barbed or barbless hooks would be a better option? I can understand if the hooks are deep or completely swallowed but in the mouth and visible surely taking the whole hook out is a better option?
@@muskiesamurai9366 fair play you did the right thing, thanks for the reply. The problem with watching a video is you are not there and you can't always see exactly what is going on! 😉🎣👍
@@damianowens5066 understood. I'd always prefer to remove the whole treble hook. You can actually see that we almost lost the long handled pliers on the net, after we were done cutting hooks.
I much rather would've heard what was going on during the catch instead of the music, thanks for putting it back, maybe next year someone else will have a blast catching it.
THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME GUYS. I have been an avid fisherman for 35+ years and this beautiful creature is one that I haven’t caught YET. I’m a bass fisherman 24/7 but this amazing beauty is a fish I will catch one day for sure. I live in southwest pa about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh pa. There aren’t many places I can go within a reasonable distance to catch these beauties. Great video guys keep them coming I just subscribed and can’t wait to watch more.
what is with these folks who say the release was bad? Guarantee if they watched a video of themselves releasing a fish of this caliber, they’d still talk shit, haha. Awesome video!
Heck of a net man you got there. Bailed on the first scoop where the hooks could have tangled in the mesh with the fish not in the bag. The fish was hooked good, but if you lost a fish like that on a bad net job, could be rough on your relationship. LOL
When she turned and faced you immediately after the hookset, and then opened up her mouth, I thought she was going to spit it out. Lucky she inhaled it and the hooks found a good spot. Also, get a jaw-spreader, gents. Great fish! Thanks for the footage.
@@loadsofeggs8945 I've thought of that too, because in Ohio we're allowed, but I couldn't pass the thrill of reeling in a lure and feeling the lure get smashed
Awesome job! 🎣. Have you ever heard of pouring a sugary drink like gator aid on the injured gills? I’ve never had to do this but another Muskie channel says sugar will stop the bleeding. Any thoughts?
We were fortunate that this fish was not bleeding, but I've been in many scenarios where there is bleeding in the gills. I'm familiar with the idea of using Mountain Dew, Coke, or other acidic, sugary liquids to stop a bleed and my advice would be NOT to do it...for multiple reasons. For one, that's a completely foreign substance to a fish and can throw off their chemistry overall. If, in fact, the liquid were to cauterize a bleed in the sensitive gills, that result would be short term and the long term effect of that cauterization would be an inability of that gill to exchange gases, affecting their "breathing." With muskies especially, their "slime" is crucial for keeping out bacteria and pathogens. Pouring acidic liquid on that slime can't possible be good for the fish. If there's a bleed, the fish will need that slime to keep bacteria out, as it recovers. Fish blood clots underwater, in their natural habitat, so...all that said, the best thing to do with a bleeding fish is to keep them in the water, remove or cut out the hooks, skip pictures, and hold them a little deeper in the water, where the pressure is stronger. Drink the Gatorade and know that you did what you could to ensure a healthy release.
Were the hookpoints you cut off lodged in the gill arches? Is there any research on how well fish survive when this happens? Is there any discussion of single barbless hook regulations in musky fishing? I ask because our trophy steelhead fisheries all have that regulation and it is strongly supported by anglers. That being said, our steelhead are also subject to commercial and indian gillnet fisheries, which I don't think is an issue for muskies so their probably isn't the same conservation concerns.
Best educational video description I've ever seen. I hope everyone will read it, so many people handle fish in the wrong way, defeating the purpose of C&R. Thank you Muskie Samurai!
Nice fish.what lure was that? action looked good and ive been trying to find bigger soft grub type lures for summertime monster catfish i usually catch them on big minnows.but im betting that lure there might just work.
That took 2 men to catch, "thers a 50 heading your way" (keeps the lure in the water)fast hookup on sharp hooks, netman NASCAR fast, cut hooks with knipex and gloves on (safety first) keeps fish in the live well net, fast pictures and back to fishing! YOU GUYS ARE PROS!
There is nothing like a Muskie fight.I have seen them cart wheel across the surface,dive down and come back up to break water in mere seconds. Great catch,what a monster.✌️👍
What gloves were used ? if you can put them in a muskies mouth to save time like that, I'm missing another important tool in the boat. Congrats boys, that was a tank of a fish !
why do you go straight for cutting the hooks rather than trying to remove them? Too much hassle in freezing temperatures I guess? End up causing more damage?
If you look again, there were long handled, needle nose pliers on the net as well. We attempted to back the hooks out, but they were buried deep in the gill arches, towards the throat. We cut the barbs and they fell into the lake, allowing the remainder of the hooks to back out.
That’s the biggest Muskie I’ve ever seen, I’ve never seen one in person but damm that’s huge! How come you get the length on them? Why not just get a picture of release it without putting it on a board etc?
Fishermen watching this be like "no way that is 50 lb!!!1! Looks more like 47.55 lb to me"

Funny how when somebody tries to lift a monster out of the net they look like the father of a newborn trying to figure out how to hold the kid.

KidRock would have landed it.
@Orvko not many but there are some
I went fishing on lake of the woods last winter and caught a sturgeon that didn’t fit through the hole

Super stuff boys. Congratulations. Just a quick question. Why cut the hooks rather than unhook her?
The hooks were buried in her gill arches. We tried to back them out with pliers, but they were deep. Cutting was the best option.
Muskie Samurai ah right. Thanks for the reply.
Beautiful pike and skilfully returned. Huge respect from Ireland. Well done.

Frickin Whale..!!Fish of a lifetime. Good work gents.
people always ask me "what's the best muskie bait?" and I always tell em "time, once you throw it out you cant get it back"
Lands 50lbs muskie in 20 sec
Me: takes 10 mins to land a 5lbs carp
I much rather would've heard what was going on during the catch instead of the music, thanks for putting it back, maybe next year someone else will have a blast catching it.
"Hooks cost $1/irreplaceable memory."
You're right. Well worth the $1 investment in a new hook.
Thats how you catch and release a big girl, props for the care you took to release her 😁
Wow! That whole progression was crazy and impressive!
Nice! Full respect. Calmness, good technique and care from figure 8 to net to pics and release. Too bad no girth measurement.
Pure adrenaline!!!! Amazing video, well done boys
What a freaking dinosaur! Awesome catch!
My favorite part was when he caught the Muskie.
Mine was when u could see the water
Mine was when he used his rod
Mine was when the sky was over their heads
Mine was when the when they where floating
He did? I must of missed that part 🤷🤷
Oh man..this is a big fish. I really like how quickly you get off the hook. Great video..
😂 savage. The fish followed his buddy’s lure and then turned and ate his!
HANG ON is this the same brook trout that keeps spitting my hook every trout season
Omg!!! Awesome!!! Love the way you guys quickly handled the fish. Props to you gents.
