I’ve heard that after they eat, the balance of the meal and their swim bladder is off so getting a gulp of air can rebalance them. Not sure of the legitimacy but I can say I’ve casted at every single one I’ve seen and only successful boated 2 so like 99% of the time, they aren’t in a feeding mode for me

Great monster fish Robby 🎣. About the porpoising. No clue as to why but what I find hilarious about it is they don’t seem to care about a nearby boat. The time I saw one she came 5 feet from the boat the full length of the boat and then dove down maybe 15 yards away. Pure showmanship and “10s” awarded by all judges on boat. It reminds me of a kid popping a “wheely “ on a bike right past you 😆

“When you fish for big fish you have to pay the price” it’s the same with carp fishing. Literally spent the whole of 2020 trying to catch my first 20lb carp. I managed to catch that in December just before Christmas. In fact I caught 2 in one session. 1 at 20lb 11oz and the other at 23lb 15oz. It’s all about how much effort you put in. Not how many lures you have or how much bait you put in. Nothing is a substitute for time on the bank

@patricksullivan97734 жыл бұрын
I’m not really a musky chaser but did some tiger musky fishing from shore on a lake in New Mexico while I was working out there. The lake was originally a trout lake but became overrun by giant goldfish. The DNR stocked tiger Muskie’s to get rid of them and they became a hit! Now the lake is stocked heavily so that there are 20-40 Muskie’s per acre in the lake. It’s not really natural because there are so many and most I caught were 40-45 inchers. I think it was Blue Lake or Blue something reservoir - you can find videos on KZbin. The lake is approx 45 miles west of Albuquerque. Anyway, I only spent 6-7 days total fishing on this lake and I witnessed dozens of Muskie’s swimming with heads out of the water there daily. I don’t know why either but if you want to see lots of it and catch unbelievable piles of big musky you really need to put that one on your bucket list.

Lee, from what ive read from similar sightings, after a predator eats a large meal it rises to surface to help speed metabolism and swallow its meal, pike, musky, tigers all do this and generally wont eat while doing so. Cool stuff
