HOMEMADE LIVEWELL || EXTREMELY Unexpected And HECTIC Moment Fishing!! (SO LUCKY)

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day! Go get wild!
Most epic catch….ever. Hands down. So stoked that I came straight home and edited all night to put this vid out this morning.
If this video hits 1k likes, I will give away a Musky rod!! Like and Comment below to enter.
Seems like every video I get asked about the cooler setup, and how we use it, what additives, etc. For anyone interested in building a livewell from a cooler, I say give it a go and keep it simple! I went over almost every aspect of how Ace and I use the livewell throughout a tournament day, and I promise if you follow the steps I gave, you won’t lose any fish to livewell issues.

EPIC DUDE!! You never know when they will decide to bite...nice fish!! 🔥

[@scrobtimusprime]

Fish of 10,000 casts....or one afterthought troll across the middle. Congrats! Awesome, awesome vid.

[@dombullock8885]

I like how the music when you caught the muskie is the same as the beginning of your first muskie hunt.

[@SBFishing]

First person to notice. Thank you for that.

[@dombullock8885]

your welcome lol :D

[@Skaterdon77]

Seriously thought that sounded familiar. Well done sir.

[@lastcares213]

Now THAT was a fisherman's moment. Awesome job

[@jasontheryan]

Wow, congrats on that Muskie! Seeing how happy that made you made me smile.

[@jcphilivey]

As a guy who grew up fishing and loving Burke Lake, that catch is EPIC! Nice work, so glad to see you get that fish. I got a little chill watching you hook and land that thing, definitely nerve racking. You are the man, brother. Congratulations

[@5JSP55]

Man I know how it feels putting in the hours for those toothy critters and it finally pays off. What a great feeling, good for you bud! Awesome work!

[@rodconner9079]

Damn --- So Good.......... better even the 2nd time around!!! Came back for the live well tutorial ------ LOL. What I didn't remember was the trollin' for musky dude" didn't remember that at all. But hell yeah dude--- you're so right............EPIC for sure. I remember some conversion, late 80's maybe early 90's, about trolling for musky and baits and so on ---- but with duck decoys behind the boat. OH Gosh ....... how you were a bit more controlled here than just the other day (the 50 state troll), I really honestly don't know. When it came up and took that ------ oh my, that top water action/dance...... Fantasy Stuff Matt ......... stuff dreams are made of. Nice call on it ---- it paid off big time.... Congrats on that.

[@hammer9856]

You go fishing and suddenly discover the livewell you built isn't big enough... Good times! :)

[@Cjramsey1987]

Hey Matt, I’m a big live bait fisherman for freshwater stripers in Virginia, and another thing that we do that might be useful for filling your live well is adding a few more feet of hose and adding some longer wire for your pump and submersing your pump a few feet lower. It will be much cooler water down there then right on the surface. Another thing we do along with the ice bottles is find a place that sells ice that says no chlorine on the bag and you can dump the ice right in the live we’ll. One more thing if you do need to use ice that has chlorine or even ice bottles that are filled with city water may bust or lose there seal, so I add just a little bit of “prime” to my water and that will remove tap water chemicals. Oh and congrats on the ski at Burke Lake, not very many ever get caught there so congrats.

[@curtblocher9624]

SB.. Awesome, yes I most definetly know how epic that was....crazy lucky good for you I just love your genuine happiness, I get the same way and Im 58..Awesome awesome video...Just so happy for you! You have a great setup there.. If you ever get to west branch again drop a line!! Would love to show you some spots!! Have a great holiday weekend God bless.. keep those videos hot!!

[@virgilc.rickicochran2612]

Lake Burke musky!!! Gut gemacht Matt!!! One of my step daughters and I fished there last fall after her soccer game. Beautiful place, and we had a great time! No one, neither we or other anglers, caught anything that day, but we learned a lot. Nice to see someone catching fish there! When we're ready to fish there again, or at Lake Orange, I'll contact you!

[@stephenkapushoc3201]

Incredible video. My blood pressure went up when you hooked up with that monster, and I think I had a heart attack when you had to untangle the net.

[@xnorcal831x]

That's a nice fish hopefully u get some more this yr. I caught my pb 4lb rainbow trout this yr n it totally reminded me of ur catch. It was a hectic act to get them caught but the feeling of landing such a beautiful fish is amazing

[@Fryday870]

All chaos comes out to play when a nice fish is on the line. Glad the net decided to cooperate, awesome job Matt!

[@johncleery8771]

I held my breath from the moment you hooked the fish until you had it in the net 😂... Well done n nice fish 👍

[@SBFishing]

It was a show that’s for sure.

[@BlueRidgeMusky]

[@andrewmiller3767]

So sick! 😷 Congrats on that Musky man. Much deserved...obviously 😉

[@robgrike]

Next time when the a rod gets tangled in the net, just put the rod that your fighting the fish on in your mouth. I call that move the “Jimmi Hendrix”.! Great video. Beautiful fish. I need to take more video! That video motivated me for certain!

[@SBFishing]

I don’t know if I could’ve pulled that off! Very glad that rod came untangled from the net! Thanks Rob.

[@The_F_In_Life]

You had me nervous there with net man. Makes the story that much bettter though. Awesome fish catch man thanks for sharing.👊

[@luketilley9137]

Just subscribed! Great video Brother! I have two of these coolers. One is to make a live well. Sportsman’s warehouse has stainless steel latches and hinges. I bought a set for both my coolers like this! Now I really have to get the one turned into a Live well! Thanks for the great video. Stay Safe

[@hammer9856]

That why they call it the fish of 10,000 casts... Congrats on a nice Muskie! Just about had a heart attack when your net got tangled.

[@SBFishing]

$500 rod stuck in there too 😂

[@virginiacoyote]

Shoot yeah!! I've been waiting for you to get a Burke ski. Now wake 1rod up out of retirement and get him one. He would've tipped the boat over. Lol

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

Who cares how big it was. That may friend is a gift from the muskey gods for all the hard work and for taking such good care of all the fish you catch.

[@loganangell5348]

Sweeeeeeet vid man. Awesome content across the whole channel.

[@hughcrisafulli4672]

Congrats dude! Might have to come up that way and try my hand at some Muskie.

[@markmcathur3465]

Love the videos. It's nice seeing someone without a 50k bass boat doing videos. I have a boat set up alot like yours. If you are ever around Atlanta Georgia hit me up. . Ill take you on one of the lakes around here.

[@cwioutdoors9492]

[@chrismurphy3372]

Dude nice fish man! I'm happy for you buddy.

[@edkennard72]

I'm going to tell you a little of what you went through out in the northwest it weighed 55 and it was a henshe was full of eggs and if I kept it that would have been a lot of little salmon that wouldn't have been but because I turned it looseI ended up with the pictures of it and that's the memories that I have was you you have the video and that is what is awesome you can always go back and look at and know that you did the

[@jeremys636]

Dude you deserve way more subs than you have. Your videos are always amazing and musky fishing is always my favorite thing to watch when it comes out.

[@jongkang1614]

Epic moment bro I'm super happy for yah man

[@madtownangler]

I don't really fish purposely for musky so whenever I hook one I end up getting excited and the experience get the heart thumping. I don't own a net so I have to hand grab them or get out the grabber.

[@billlere9262]

Looked like a 40" Muskie. Maybe a little bigger. It was great to watch.

[@jasonwkamigaki2688]

Amazing and informative video!!! You are a fantastic Video Creator! Followed for sure!

[@weekendwarrior4179]

LET'S GOOOOO! Never been so excited/nervous watching a youtube vid before. Hope I get to fish with you on the third. I could use a little mini vaca from work. :)

[@rippinlipsaz5772]

Thinking,about doing a live well too!

[@joshscalish2361]

Aye I would love for you to do some river smallie fishing out of your boat on all of those little rivers you go musky fishing at

[@jamesreed6558]

Awesome fish brother! I enjoy your videos.

[@jackomeara256]

[@bmorebidness207]

I'm so happy for you man, that you finally caught one at that lake.....expect it when you least expect it is what they say.

[@spaloslvnv]

2 part question...What size cooler do you recommend for a livewell? And why was the water in the livewell greenish like the lake water?

[@billcotton1551]

OOPS you did it again! You are becoming a Muskie King!

[@moment1900]

[@johnm781]

[@bassfishdude3109]

Do you ever have problems with the lid opening and/or water splashing out of the livewell when you are running from spot to spot?

[@Skaterdon77]

Sick catch man! Congrats on your first Burke Musky!

[@PastorG16]
