Did you have hooks on the harness?

Cool video Mushky, it would nice to put one of those 50 inchers on dah wall.

I'm pleased no one is confused about my hook question although I felt the urge to freak flag my Nean Delson.

And gay music. I meant "gay" as perverted homosexual activity not joyous and gleeful.

If I get a state record it will go on the wall, otherwise I'm waiting for a 53" to do a replica.

I know, I need to be more aware when I have the camera going.

That's funny, svnmag, I just used some music I found on Youtube. Even these short videos take a while to edit, and after a while I'm just ready to be done as it gives me a headache.

Hell, I was in the Navy. It's a test each day not to use profanity in my clinic.

It's not automatic by any means, but definitely more relaxing than casting all day. It's nice when its below freezing as your rod and reel don't get iced up near as much. Last weekend I used a couple suckers with the kids and wife, but the only musky came from casting.

OK, I gots to know...Were you using hooks or not?...

Of course. Thorne Bros quick strike rig. A nose clip on the sucker with a couple of bent hooks that go just under the suckers skin. When you set the hook everything pulls out of the sucker and hopefully into the musky.

there's a chance I'll be chasing musky next weekend with a friend. Wife wants to tailgate with her sister and niece and nephew. Not the tailgating I'm used to.

 

[Kurtr]

haha i like how F in A is universal swear words it is my go to.

You do know the hooks may be considered superfluous with this tech?...Especially when the "fight" consists of tooling over top of the fish and a lift into the net?...

Yes. The first fish video would have never held on without hooks. The second fish you might not have needed them, but it would be hard to do by yourself without hooks.....you need to net very quickly.

Larry Dahlberg was on Detroit Lakes with Jerry Sondag filming a show a couple years ago and used his modified sucker harness, but ended up catching a couple fish without the hook every being in the musky.

Where might you be going, Dirty?

 

[svnmag]

Yep, that's the ticket!! Exactly where I received my superior knowledge. Good show sir. Big fan of LB!!

I'm at the behest of one of my officiating friends. I have no idea.
