multiple big muskie while sight fishing on lake mille lacs for Minnesota musky opener 2023. We spent the day in super shallow water searching for musky to cast at with giant lures in hopes of getting a monster, and after a few casts we got a giant. Minnesota musky opener 2023 was an absolute blast, musky fishing lake mille lacs 2023 has started off strong. thanks for watching this Minnesota musky fishing video.

I’d love to feedback on this… 1. I bought a bigger net for future videos. 2. I did not snag the fish intentionally, it tried to eat my lure a minute prior as I was moving it and then I cast at it again and bounced it near the fish and it turned at ate it in between bounces, both me and me friend in the boat saw it turn and hit the lure, I then set the hook and it pulled the lure into its face, it tried to eat it and either missed and it hits its face or it swiped at it with its face instead. Nonetheless it tried to eat it and I would never purposely try to snag a fish.

@seymore_fl0pz14 9 ай бұрын

When fish head hunt baits they can get hooked in the head. it happens, if you know she chewed it its still a catch IMO. A fish may eat and get hooked in the mouth and through out the fight it can catch the other hook in the eye/gills/head. Its easy for the fish to leverage one hook out when the fish is hooked by multiple hooks.

@dangjerning3331 8 ай бұрын

Sometimes you'll get foul hooks don't beat yourself up over it! A fish like that can live with an eye hook. Those gill hooks are the killer. Awesome video.

Muskies do like to just swipe at lures. It's funny how different they can be than pike. Last musky I caught swiped at my topwater lure 3 times and then finally got the rear treble hook. Pike usually just swallow the whole thing and then take 15 minutes to get all the trebles out of their mouths.

I'm not big on fishing gin clear lakes or sections of lakes because if you can see the fish from 50 yards away they can see you. Not to say I haven't caught quite a few in clear water but it tends to be in the deeper water 20 feet and more that I catch them. Nice job in the skinny water. Edit: Early season, early morning and right around sunset they tend to be shallower.

The big size net is not for the easy of netting them only but to make sure they can lay flat on the water. Think of it as a live well for Muskies and prevent their fins to split etc. worth to spend some cash on a good net.

When you bring you’re lure to you’re boat do some figure 8’s with your lure in the water (only works with Muskie) for some odd reason when I’ve done a little research and heard some tales from buddies a lot of the Muskie they caught was in the 8 motion i don’t know why but Muskie love hitting it when there’s a figure 8 motion.

Nice fish, but that net is WAY too small for Muskies, both opening and bag depth. A net too small causes additional abrasion on the skin and fin fraying. Keep chasing fish, but always use the proper equipment for Muskies to keep the stress down and physical damage to the fish at a minimum.

And it has spikes on its fins (of course) and I touched it and I got a little bleed on my finger but healed in a day. But that was the best time of my life. Casting was great. 😅 love fishing, I’m a younger fisher but the first time I caught a fish. Man it was the best. (I’m subbed btw could you replay to my comment maybe?)

If you don’t want to count it, you don’t have to, but I absolutely would. As long as the fish tried to eat it, it counts as a catch. That means the lure worked and got the fish’s attention. However, like I said, it is up to you whether you want to count it or not.
