Had a musky on the line once as a kid. I remember clearly my dad and grandpa holding me in the boat lol. Didn’t take long for the line to snap. One of my best childhood fishing memories. Would love to actually catch one. Great video guys!

Great video. I totally agree with the confidence tip. I like rubber swim baits, so I have the most confidence in them, which has translated into swim baits being my most effective.

I've caught more musky by accident while bass fishing than I have when I specifically target musky...

@TeamRhinoOutdoors 5 жыл бұрын

+Doug Kichman That certainly can and will happen with these crazy fish. There are times when a smaller bass sized presentation is just the ticket. Hopefully you catch a few this year on musky gear. Good luck fishing.

@xDx0xUxGx 5 жыл бұрын

Would be nice. I try to target the same general areas where I catch them by accident, but that doesn't seem to help. Last year I caught 23 by accident and 4 intentionally. Biggest one being 38" on a 1/4 oz swim jig.

That’s how Jeremy wade caught his first after over 10,000 casts with a Muskie rig. Several friends got their biggest ones on small bait. That makes me wonder if they see the heavy line and leader.

Thank you for tips. I love musky fishing but have struggled the past few years to find them. Any tips for lakes with a lot of boating traffic in summer?

@TeamRhinoOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Look for spots off the beaten path and even open water can hold fish if the traffic allows. If it's just pleasure boat traffic then fish spots like normal. Musky anglers are far more bothered about boat traffic than the fish are. Once I caught a musky trolling open water with the bait running only about 5' down. A jet ski had run almost right over the top of it shortly before it got hit. Good luck fishing

@READERSENPAII 3 жыл бұрын

if you want to get into it with low investment. use your frogging caster with buchertail. it's pretty good start. I've caught musky on #2 mepps on a med-light rod. you don't need to have a bunch money sunk into gear.

@TeamRhinoOutdoors 5 жыл бұрын

+Machinegunkuzzy 16 I would say the St Croix and either reel would be a great setup. I personally like the Tranx 400 better than the Revo. Both are good options though. Good luck fishing

I’ve never caught a Muskie I found a spot where Muskie where caught and it has weeds but after 2 seconds of reeling in my bait gets on weeds so I use a spinner instead of a big jerbait is that right ?

@TeamRhinoOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

Try using a jerk bait that doesn’t sink much, a safety pin type spinner that doesn’t have treble hooks or a top water bait. Good luck

Will a 8ft pole fit in regular sized car (through the window) or is there a better setup for a car?

@TeamRhinoOutdoors 5 жыл бұрын

+AcousticSoul1989 I would think that it would especially if the seats fold down in the back to access the trunk. Your other option would be to get a telescopic rod but I think that only gets you down to 7’ 6” I believe. Thanks for the question let us know if you have others.
