Ahhh - my NDyak fix for the week! Thank you, Matt - you're always a welcome sight to these old sore eyes! At 82, I get out maybe once or twice a year, but do my main fishing mostly vicariously through your videos!

Try the Gamakatsu G-Finesse hooks on your Plopper and a ball bearing snap swivel hooked to the lure tie, better hook up ratio with the hooks and your line won't twist with the ball bearing swivel tied to the front. You are the purest fisherman on the net.

Amazing creature, that muskie. I recently learned they used to be plentiful here in western North Carolina (as well as sturgeon!). I can barely comprehend fighting and landing one of these in a river from a kayak.

I’m pretty comfortable fishing them from my kayak on this river where I know they’re all only 8-9 years old now and top out around 40”. They get much bigger though and I’m not sure how I’d handle a 50”+ out of my kayak!
