kms399 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I went fishing with a buddy today after work on a pretty well known musky lake. we were bass fishing but there wasn't much going on so he takes out his musky setup and starts hucking this big topwater deal and I stuck with my fluke. any way I cast my fluke and as I watch my line I see a musky swimming with it's head out of the water I point it out to my buddy just as it swims over my line right about at the middle of a pretty decent cast and goes nuts, I mean jumping fully out of the water and I'm like why can I feel this. the musky had swam into my line and somehow got tangled up in it! the musky is going nuts and running and as he does I can feel my line slipping around him or something it felt like when your line gets caught in the trolling motor that kind of ticking tugging deal, and as I got him to the boat I see my 5/0 gammy stuck in one of his rear fins I got him along side the boat and I loosened my drag alot because I could see he wasn't hooked very well. as my buddy reaches for it it takes off pulling drag ( I was ready for this) and man he d**n near spooled me, then the hook popped off! figures we guessed he was around 34-38 inches not a monster as far as muskys go but would have been nice to get a pic anyway.
