loved the video! 13 guided days on the water and zero Muskies for me. I must be getting close to 10,000 casts by now so I'm excited about going tomorrow in Tennessee!
I have pondered this same thing, why do we spend so much time and effort to catch fish?? I 💯% agree it's about the challenge of catching a fish that's hard to catch. The harder to catch the better in my opinion!! Life is all a lesson and there is Always more to learn and grow our love of fishing!
Man love this short film!!💪 really enjoyed, sad we don't have muskie hiere in UK but I love catching northern pike on the fly too! And the fly fishing makes them special 👌🎣🤘
Get this, brand new fly rod fishing for crappie. A musky decides to take my little tiny fly. my dad instantly asks for my rod, but he doesn't know how to fight big fish on a fly rod and he used the rod like it was a baitcaster. mUsky turned really fAst and snapped my rod in half. nOt my best fishing day.
Awesome video. Really like the interview and the reasons the angler gives for fly fishing for these awesome fish. Those takes are exciting and makes me more determined to get one to eat my fly and not just chase it. :)
Fishing musky on the fly from shore is ridiculous at best, BUT have been loving every minute of it. The 38/40 inch I caught on the wisconsin river actually discouraged me as it was set the hook, pull it near, thrash thrash and in the net. Quite lame compared to a 22 inch brown on the bighorn where you will go into backing but it's more about the hunt than the fight. Love the vid.
If you hooked a 22 inch brown on 40 lb test you could drag that sucker to the bank like you were pulling a naughty child out of the toy isle at Wal-Mart.
I couldn't agree more, this is an absolute dream/bucket list fish for me especially on the fly and perhaps out of a kayak since I don't have a boat or a truck to pull it. I have only chased them twice with the fly and had some follows out of my buddy's Crappie style boat (LOwe Skorpion 16ft) which was awesome and he missed a take as he pulled the fly out of the water. Spent most of the time with the trolling motor on low and beating the banks of a local lake known for skis. I hope to get out there this year and hook and land one. Great video on why we are obsessed with muskies and muskies on the fly, that older gentleman was spot on.
I have been on two guided trips with only one musky seen following my fly. Fished a local lake for hours upon hours(the only lake near me that contains musky) never saw one. I’m close to 10000. Also, pike near me in southwest PA are hard to catch. Have caught some on the fly but not many. I call them the fish if 2000 casts.
Hello, I know your comment was posted three years ago, you may not care about musky anymore and I don’t know where you live exactly in southwestern PA. All that being said, if you’re in the very west of the state, the Ohio and Allegheny rivers and their drainages provide a great musky fishery. I say this because the only musky fishing I’ve experienced so far has been in the stretch of the Allegheny which veers north into NY for forty or fifty miles. I live in Warsaw, NY. Surrounded by great musky fishing, just not immediately at my fingertips. The Ohio river contributes to a large portion of quality musky fishing to be had in other states like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and West Virginia. A very significant body of water to the sport. Not in that it produces record fish, but rather how it makes musky fishing more accessible to many people in many places who want to experience some decent musky action
Pikes are about the same, I catch max 6 pikes in a day. Sometimes I can go days without a bite, it’s great to catch them. That’s the reason bass isn’t my type of fish
This captures the musky experience perfectly. Those eats at the boat are the best. Great stuff.
Awesome!
Thank you! Theres nothing better than a boat side eat by a big girl! We appreciate the feedback!

Great view of those catches!
I think this is one of the best Musky vids on the web! Well done and thank you for the adrenaline rush.
Can't stop watching this!! Hope one day I'll fish for them!
Sweet film with incredible takes. This is why we do what we do!

Holy shit those boat side eats are something else. Love it when any esox goes warp and crushes the fly, lightning in a bottle
Verry verry ... Nice vidéo Great Monster fly musky 😱👍💪🎣🍻😵

Love reading Gierach. That he chose a McGuane quote concerning tarpon was excellent!

4:24 That was like watching an MMA fight. Just an all out brawl.
Amazing guys!
Thank you!
Musky is the ultimate for me
Saw you fishing with Matty gave you a sub. I need to try catching a musky with my fly rod. Very cool 👍

At 3:30 it looked like you intentionally anchored your last back cast. Trying to get a little extra load and distance?
Great video. What kind of boat is that?
Fuck dude! You just made me spend another grand on a musky rod and reel. Putting the trout shit away for awhile. Thanks a lot.
What kind of oarlocks do you have on your boat? are those the adipose ones?
FerruleWax yes sir they are! Then I had a local welder weld them on
Muskie definitely are not hard to catch when your fishing the right areas.
What flies were you all throwing in this video?
Hey James! We are throwing our custom tied musky flies! Contact us if your interested in any.
That one dudes rod pressure was so vertical it made me cringe. I bet that dude has broken a few rods in his day.
watching this vid makes me wanna grab my shit and go
