Just an insane day, congrats on a killer day guys!

@MattVavrochFishing Thank you sir!

Fisheries scientist here. The faster you stop touching a fish after you catch it the better it will be (there may be some exceptions to that, but on the whole this is true). If the fish thrashes as you’re moving to put it back, better to just work with that momentum and toss it in, letting it swim off. If it has that much vim and vigour to launch itself out of your hands, it’s going to be fine. I am an advocate for simply placing the fish back in the water and letting go. No need to hold it, swish it around, etc. Do that only if the fish seems to be struggling to gain equilibrium (a bad sign…), but if it’s upright just stop touching it.

Crazy video man!

@skott1800 Thank you!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Suspended open water seems to be the final frontier in muskie fishing. I'm a bit surprised by all the pleasure boats activity and the fish still willing to strike. Nice fish Brian. 😊

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@thelonesomefisherman7425 It's one of those techniques that I think everyone knows they should try, but very few actually do! Thank you so much for watching!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

[@DkamFishing]

How deep are you fishing?

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@DkamFishing 40-45 feet.

[@DkamFishing]

@@AnglingAnarchy you guys let the bucktails sink to about 20-25ft before you start your retrieve?

[@AnglingAnarchy]

​@DkamFishing Yeah, about that I'd say.

[@jtw4744]

Been waiting for this video

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@jtw4744 Hopefully, it was worth the wait!

[@jtw4744]

It was. And throwing that second fish back is always the thing to do, not wrestling it on the bump board.

[@nathanielsnyder1511]

This is not a normal musky day!! Wow!

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@nathanielsnyder1511 It was a special day for sure!

[@robbiehenderson8955]

Looks like lake Geneva I fish that for bass in tournaments

[@pugman3174]

That's the best release. Don't hang on trying to control the fish. Let it fall in the water and use your trolling motor to go back to her if you need to revive it. I know it's different if it's windy and waves.

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@pugman3174 Absolutely! Better to fall in the water than the boat! Thanks so much for watching!

[@heinrichbier4759]

Insane bite window wowza

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@heinrichbier4759 It was so cool to be a part of it!

[@mpbarga]

Any more info on those bucktails with the trailer blade?

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@mpbarga They were custom ones that Andy built from spare parts. Built a bit heavier, about 6 oz with the small spinner tail off the back hook. 10/9 stagger blades.

[@baddffish4969]

Awesome channel & video, Been a subscriber for 2 years or more. I started to fish in deep water and have not had any success yet.. my biggest problem (I think) in my reservoirs it seems that there are PiLES of bait scattered throughout the water column so the skis have tons to choose from.. Can you tell how much bait was around? Where you off away from the main bait pockets?

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@baddffish4969 Thank you, u appreciate it! I really couldn't tell how much bait was around, but I'd say definitely work those outer edges away from the main pockets.

[@southern_rivers]

Just curious, what was the water depth roughly?

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@southern_rivers We were in about 40 ft of water.

[@alanbuvelot831]

How do you weight your bucktails.

[@AnglingAnarchy]

@alanbuvelot831 I just use a digital kitchen scale.

[@davefleming1117]

Looks like lake Geneva WI. My back yard. Good fish

[@jimstoller1936]

Was thinking the same thing. Big, Deep body, great job finding those!

[@LeeDoll-on9qx]

They were working that 20ft ledge dropping to 40 or 50 ft. In trinkies bay.

[@Tiggitytye]

sick

[@timothythompson6549]

If people were as crazy about fish care as they let on they'd be using barbless singles. Or not fishing at all.🤣

[@heinrichbier4759]

You get so few bites per hour over the course of a season and it’s hard enough keeping them hooked with barbs. If you invested as much time as these guys you’d understand.

[@timothythompson6549]

@@heinrichbier4759 I was making fun of the people he said would be roasting him in the comments. The same types who've been critical for bumping fish.
