I should compare screenshots of all the muskie I’ve caught out there, I’m sure I could match a few up that I’ve caught twice! There are a lot of musky roaming this stretch of river though, I bet there’s 100 of them within a mile or two of the dam.

That's what I love about catching musky. They are violent, intelligent, and just pure adrenaline. Excellent catch!

[@kennethgoin628]

As we await the arrival of another soft water season, I just want to throw a nugget of consideration at you... When those fish come in and you sweep the lure or figure-8, if the fish misses, try remembering to keep the lure in the water. Keep sweeping and/or circling. Let the lure dive underwater in the process. No, it might not make a difference every time, nothing is that consistent, but I've seen muskie "give up" after a lure leaves the water. But if the lure left in the water and continuously worked, I've also seen them return within 30 seconds or so for attempt #2, which often leads to the hookup you were hoping for in the first place. Followers don't seem to care, but strikers... they're not doing it to be playful. When you've got a hot fish, give them a hot opportunity for redemption. Excellent channel and content! Can't wait for the next upload!

[@snekheadfishing]

I always remember matt's words from the 1st Chewbacca video and some other videos. 'It's the presentation and action that gets them'. These words have guided me to catch more fish and reduced lure changes during a trip. I caught my pb peacock bass by throwing a black topwater pencil during mid-day cause I followed the motto. no need to overthink the colour. Also, it was a heddon zara puppy, i was inspired to buy it seeing matt throw the super spook jr. easiest walking bait i ever had. Thanks soo much and your content is by far the best 'pure' fishing on youtube.

It was also an excellent bonus to watch that snapping turtle. It was huge! An exotic sight to me as a European that I didn’t expect them so far North as North Dakota.
