@@sgangling that's the only way to keep the game going. Proper fish handling and only going if you have the right tools . Don't go till you got them. Net.release tools.right line.I leader .knowledge. Our fisheries are building only if we look into it and respect these fish.
OMG! 2 minutes in and this is my favorite video of the year!! You forgot your paddle!!! LMAO!! First fish swims right out of the net!! This is fantastic!! Spot on about the cutters! Every musky angler must have those! Great job Sam!! Loved every minute!!
Good deal advising folks to include bolt cutters among their gear, very important! As you mentioned they (many fish in general, not just muskies) often inhale the bait and require some hook snipping to safely release
@@sgangling Nah it's not soo bad, we have beautiful northern pike here, up to 47 or 53 inch. 2 or 3 miles from my home here at the Niederrhein we have a really good big lake for pearch and pike. It's a bit more than 30 miles when I want to fish in Holland, so I can't complain 😊 But it would be a dream for me to go for a muskey hunt dude, beautiful underwater dragons. Whenever you have a chance to visit Germany or Holland look out for our Zander. They're similar to your walleyes or saugers but with beautiful dark stripes instead of dots. Fascinating creatures man. Shit... It's half past one in the night and I want to grab my rod and go fishing... I'm sick, help 😂😂😂
@@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren That's amazing. That would be an incredible experience chasing pike of that size. I would love to visit and catch some big zhander and Pike.
Lol I had my motor battery die on an electric only lake a few years back (and of course forgot to throw my oars in) so I had to use my net to get back. Took about an hour and a half to go only about 300-350 yards against the wind lol but at least we landed a few trout along the way. Anyway thanks for another cool vid man, keep castin'
Hey jaw spreaders are a must have for Muskie fishing. Especially when they choke a bait. You won’t always be able to reach hooks from the gill side. Noticed you mentioned the hook cutters . Just my two cents.
Awesome video. Amazing how subtle that first strike was…and I’ve never seen a musky inhale a Topwater like that second one did. Good tip with that electrical tape too,..I was wondering what you were gonna do
@@sgangling I thought it looked a little familiar. There's some top Water maniacs in that creek!!. I caught a 30 incher in one of my trout streams that dump into the main river. He was up in that cool creek water. I always did think they'd go up in these cool creeks when the river gets real warm. Now I know for sure they go up in em. Especially the bigger creeks that dump into the main river. Cool video and musky bud. Good luck on your future adventures👍🎣🎣
Sometimes I wonder how far one would travel up into these bigger trout streams that dump into the main river when it gets hot as heck out? I know I catch alot of dandy smallies in these trout streams when it gets hot they go up in them creeks too.
@@ericpennington6530 most of these musky live in these pools year round since the shallow sections are not accessible by these big fish...but it's definitely a fun adventure! Good luck!
Nice to see someone handle these fish right and talk about it for others to learn and follow.
Thanks man! That's the most important thing!

Hahah my first thought was "I forgot my paddle. Surely I'm going home now"...but nope figured it out! Thank you and tight lines!
I like the multiple angles

Absolutely. Thank you for the support!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching 👍👍👍
@@sgangling You bet!
That beauty wanted to be in your boat 😊 These are beautiful fish man, we don't have em here in Germany.
He certainly wasn't far from jumping in. It's too bad you don't have them....or maybe it's for the better since they do drive anglers insane!

Haha that's a great story. Thank you and tight lines!
Those creek Muskies were mad! Great video, you were literally up a creek without a paddle! 🤣🤣 Glad you found success!
LOL totally man. It's been a fun adventure

Thanks for the tip. I do have them and have tried using them but noticed the fish thrashes alot when in use. Have you had this experience ?
Awesome video. Amazing how subtle that first strike was…and I’ve never seen a musky inhale a Topwater like that second one did. Good tip with that electrical tape too,..I was wondering what you were gonna do
Thanks man. It was bizarre but a good learning experience.
Awesome video! Your channel seems really cool!! Just subbed too!👍
Thank you! Appreciate the support! 👍
Is this the same creek absoulte media was catching all those top water muskies in? Kinda looks like it is why I ask.
Yep same creek!

@@sgangling looks like a sweet little Honey hole. A spot where you can possibly hook a few dam near Everytime ya go. If ya use the lakes x fat B lol!!
Musky eat the baby beaver, it’s a cheeseburger
Hey Sam, may I ask what brand/kind of net your using
Hey Randy. I use the drifter predator series. It's an excellent net, although a bit heavy.
