First time I've even heard of Musky jumping a dam....That's incredible. Thank you.

[@Kayceesoutdoorliving]

I fish a local dam's outlet all the time and those muskies are always trying to swim up that thing. it's a big slope bottom style outlet so theres no way they make it up but its neat to see.

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

This maybe the best fish video I have ever seen. Thank you guys so much for capturing this awesome content. I have never seen anything like this with muskey.

[@TeamColdfront]

Awesome video, they need a sloped weir!

[@curtphilipp3111]

I grew up fishing here and I look forward to this ever spring never gets old SO COOL.great filming guys👍

[@exmc]

At first I was like jeez. 6+ mins to see a musky jump in the air? I guess. I had NO IDEA, WOW...

[@JoshGreenAdventures]

That was freaking awesome. Thanks for sharing this experience with all of us

[@tannerbabros4524]

This is an amazing video. You guys did great work with this! The educational side was wonderful as was the video work. Great job!!

[@kurtketcham8494]

Great job boys. Thank you for stating it's a refuge. Never seem to believe what people do.

[@anthonythorp7291]

Yep, there's a spot I know maybe 50 miles east where authorized people watch/guard muskie stopped by a dam. They are easy pickings and no doubt would be ruined without protection.

[@bobsagget305]

Wow that was pretty sick! Never seen muskee's jump a dam like this before! Then I Saw you guys had 999 likes exactly here so I made it 1k! Can't wait to get out on the water this year!

[@jtcasting9552]

Incredible footage I’ve never seen anything like this

[@riverboy2228]

We have a fish ladder here in Pa on the Susquehanna river. I’m definitely going to watch the fish jumping here too. This just shows the power that muskies have

[@kentuckypatriotsemperfi8741]

Looking Like Muskey Wanted A Pet EPIC I Definitely SAVED To My Playlist For When I Feel Like I Don't Wanna Go Fishing LOL GOD BLESS Y'ALL

[@urmom69610]

Even rewatching this its still amazing

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Siskel & Ebert give this two thumbs up for great video footage and the support of Muskie's Inc!!

[@michaelperez9137]

That is one of the coolest things I have seen! Can’t wait to see you guys snagging some of those bad boys!!

[@skilz5698]

Michael Perez snagging?

[@michaelperez9137]

Skilz if I need to explain that to you than your just not gonna get it

[@GottaWannaDance]

@@michaelperez9137 They already are. They have been since I moved here years ago and probably before that. It's disgusting. It's sick. And it's the parents doing it! Skilz, you are correct. It is absolute snagging. Michael knows it is and it's illegal. Fishing is illegal also here it's a refuge until it's not. When Walker became governor, he appointed Stepp in charge of the DNR. They the biologists, arborists (except one) and most wardens among other staff. I watched professional fishermen snagging 30#+ muskies at the dam, filming, then putting them in the trucks and driving away. I filmed most with plates, vehicles, etc. I was knocked down once and punched once on the deck. I believe close to 100% of mononas muskies were removed those years.

[@FishingPleasures]

That footage was legendary

[@tomooms1167]

My immediate response was, "Awwwww..." when that one hit his chin on the dam. Hope he wasn't hurt.

[@andrewlast1535]

Drive right by this after work, everyday. Was quite a crowd this year.

[@ChadLeton]

COOL!! Great way to get geared up for the opener!

[@anowosad]

This is ALL but cool! They are trying to get to the briding spot which was destroyed for them!

[@anglingwithPride]

Love this time of year! So fun to watch them.

[@GetNBitProductions]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! 🎣👊🏼

[@cblan352]

Saw them jumping there this year! I live in Madison as well

[@The_Strudel_Man]

I love watching this and being like “hey I’ve been there”

[@herbsuperb6034]

Every Spring I take an evening and go over to Wingra to watch the Muskies jump. So much fun, and you might see some real big ones. I've seen some that may have cracked 50". There have been some 50"+ fish caught on Monona in recent years. I've heard of a few real close ones on Wingra. Some nice fish make that trip every year.

[@spyder-cq2by]

Great video i am glad to say that i have lived in madison my whole life and have gotten to enjoy the muskie run quite a few times.

[@spudsmccatfish]

Incredible footage guys! Thanks for sharing 😎

[@rkayser89]

If you ever get bored of the cold, ice, and snow- head down to southern IL for pre-spawn musky in late March. Kinkaid doesn't freeze, and red rattlebaits normally catch fish. Just try getting there before they spawn, or the DNR does the trap-netting.

[@PigPatrolTV]

Sick video man!

[@slowburn_1725]

Learn something every day ! Great video

[@lfeco]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this.

[@ninjaman12310]

Holy cow! I saw this in a random video a few months back and thought it'd be the perfect place for y'all to visit!

[@ardencarpenter3157]

Smoked muskie is the best

[@CSDM15]

To them, jumping a dam is a musk

[@dakotamouse]

Wow! I've never seen that before!

[@TtotheK83]

That was wicked! Very awesome footage boys!

[@fishingthedot]

That's one fish I would love to get off my catch list awesome content 👊

[@karentherhea5433]

Wow me and my family also go there to fish! Your catches are also awesome!

[@kirbydonoho5707]

dude thats so cool

[@KZtheFisherOutdoors]

I just find your channel absolutely love it great content I definitely SUBSCRIBE! 😉👍🎣🎣🎣

[@loganpoindexter8850]

I didn't even know musky did that

[@Railin10]

Some of them made it!

[@TodaysAngler]

Andrew Logan, hey bro.

[@antoniostewert4375]

Musky jumping 👍

[@markwithers9468]

Great video many people may have never seen that

[@PaddyStubbs70]

Astonishing footage. I've seen Salmon do this no end of times on rivers here in the UK, but never seen one of our Pike do it!👍👍👍

[@joevette6290]

Muskies feel imprisoned in dam and need big open waters to live happily by the way there were many big muskies on the jump!!!

[@tenyearsgone7577]

Wait.... eh learn something every day. Thanks man

[@ericisner8967]

Wow, see something new every day I guess. Great content guys, your content and presentation is top notch! Keep it up.

[@TodaysAngler]

Thanks Eric!

[@donmiles9083]

Very cool. Surprised the dam wasn't made in 2 smaller ledges. More money?

[@thomasbednar7475]

Amazing footage!

[@MissPronouncer]

This is great! I can't wait to see this year's video with the added feature. ;)

[@verificacionnecessario9190]

The jumping is cool to see, but to me the pooling of dozens upon dozens of giant muskies in that area just before the dam is even cooler. I take my kids down there every year just to see the giants congregating next to the overlook.

[@gavincollins1073]

Love musky fishing

[@roberttopp3266]

Used to ice fish wingra as a kid used to catch a lot of them get a picture and release 30 to 38 inches and som 40 +

[@John-dp6xw]

Wow.😮

[@TheIrishAmish]

BUILD A FISH LADDER!

[@Steemoney]

Yeah they should build one little ladder for them to make it a two jump attempt. Them fish are so beat up from hitting that ledge over and over 😢

[@TodaysAngler]

They get beat up much worse from spawning (bite eachother). There is no ladder because they dont want carp back in the lake above. The muskies don't reproduce anyhow.

[@schfiftyfive9680]

that was pretty dam cool.

[@johnzach8528]

Dammm thats some insane footage!

[@mickemike2148]

Sick! Love it!

[@hartzejr]

Very cool action!

[@craigdelaney1777]

Do some of these dolphins not belong in seaworld 😂 great video!

[@martinsiedlecki]

Nothing belongs in SeaWorld

[@CrayOutoors]

Wow, Insane video! There are a couple weirs on the South Tier in NY where I am from where you can sometimes see muskie jump in the spring but not to that degree. You might see 2 or 3 muskie jump all day, that spot looked insane! Reminded me of the salmon run like you said.

[@brandonalexander4195]

I’m from western ny, where at ?

[@squishwardtortellini2904]

Whereabouts in the southern tier? I have fished there a lot in the past

Totally unbelievably footage. Wow. Is that what they mean by ski jumping?

[@jackoff8919]

Dang it my eyes started to light up thinking I was going to fish there

[@608anglingwisconsin5]

I live here in madison, im renting a boat right now and about to hopefully catch some big musky today in wingra

[@christopherkohn3046]

I went ice fishing on that lake in that part

[@stevenreinstra7939]

Awesome video Lee and Robbie! Thanks for the promo for Muskies Inc as well. We try very hard with the help of Wisconsin DNR to make the Yahara Chain of Lakes a great fishery! capitalcitymuskiesinc.org

[@Franny_the_Fisher]

Years later, thank you for what you do! You’re literally silently loved by thousands of people, you’ve created endless memories for people that mean more than you’ll ever be able to understand, me being one of them. Thank you again!

[@BeachBomberFishing]

Nice vid man! Question, if you dont mind. I'm visiting from Houston, Tx and I am going to be fishing these lakes next week. How's the fishing up there? Any specific lures for pike and Muskie you recommend? I appreciate your time!

[@TodaysAngler]

Great, topwater and blades

[@devinklemp9281]

Cool thing is I used to live in Wisconsin and I have been to that exact spot

[@Sharkproangler]

They are so beautifool

[@geo-s-8530]

great footage

[@marekwiech8256]

SUPER KOLEDZY - POZDRAWIAM.

[@GopherHayes]

Amazing

[@greatplainsman3662]

Is there an alternative route for them? Fish ladder?

[@bobfishnut]

Awesome shoot!

[@280AI]

Why is there no fish ladder there? Just think how many more would make it up to spawn if they had a chance.

[@Angry.General1461]

I always thought salmon and trout jump like that in a river.

[@robsimpson3771]

Awesome footage! I’m still wondering why you guys don’t have a Saturday morning Muskie show. 🎣

[@TodaysAngler]

Because we have a Sunday morning KZbin show! Musky tv shows get 200k views a year, ours get over 5mil a year. Tv is dead. Thanks

[@hadicapableoutdoors1]

Excellent

[@iddddaduncan]

they have things called fish ladders, been using them for over 100yrs, makes it easier on the fish

[@raygrange7312]

This is bad fishery management. Fish ladders should be installed to allow fish to migrate. They can damage themselves leaping over walls.

[@anthonythorp7291]

That's what I was thinking. Poor fish looks like it could hurt. FYI I'm a hunter/fisher not eco- extreme.

[@shinnick22]

DNR doesn’t want them to get up there, they stock Lake Monona and prefer for the muskies to stay there. A few make it every year and stay in Lake Wingra which they accept.

[@skilz5698]

Very cool. Sounds like they're gonna try to do something similar to this again down at Kegonsa, dam everything off and do a massive carp kill. I really wish they wouldn't, just gonna make a low quality lake even worse.

[@TodaysAngler]

Huh

[@skilz5698]

@@TodaysAngler down the chain more at kegonsa they're going to do something similar to what they did at wingra with the carp kill

[@s4dg]

i don't think enough people know that salmon and trout aren't the only fish that can jump up waterfalls...

[@GottaWannaDance]

Oh, they know. Come here in the spring. Nice days it'll be pack like crazy. All idiots and violaters will be here. As I wrote that, 2 motorcycles are now on the deck at the rail, blocking others from watching. Ones leaving. There are over a dozen watching.

[@Sharkproangler]

cooldster fisch ever

[@corymcintosh534]

Maybe a dumb question but isn't that horrible for the fish as it gets slammed into concrete over and over again

[@TodaysAngler]

Def not the best, they heal up like their spawning scars

[@BobP68]

So have they installed a fish ladder here i hope ???

[@southrootedoutsideoutdoors2052]

What a great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@henrygarrison1613]

Break down the dam!!

[@andrewrodriguez9403]

Awesome Video!

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Amazing richness! Start a petition to blow that weir. Explain to town council the drowning hazard and subsequent liability concerns, the E. coli problem, the fish passage problem, and the jackpot of tourist dollars available from diehard Muskie anglers. Can you imagine how many small fish cannot make that jump? Get to work!

[@robbiboss8494]

I grew up fishing at that spot

[@DennisPKehoe]

Were these musky raised by salmon? I've never heard of this before.

[@dirtpile]

Grew up in Madison and only checked this out once years ago before new weir was istalled.

[@hownowbrowntrouttasmania7389]

WICKED.:)

[@brandynh905]

Saw you at the musky exbow

[@albertweis7669]

Great. Place. For. A. Bar

[@marli288]

i Luv freshwater 'rivers' etc but they must be fish-friendly, I'm not sure what Muskies are, they're pretty big, look like Pike! here in the UK, I've watched our EEL population deplete in our back rivers year on year, we still have salmon and trout running after the rain or high water. Fantastic footage lads thank you all, from WALES.

[@leonorebongert4194]

Yes, they are a type of pike, the largest of the species.
