NEW MOON Summer Muskies With LIVEBAIT & LURES - Chasin WI 50" Ep 2

[@jglass3865]

nice vid... it brings back memories... back in about 1989 I fished with Tony Rizzo, I caught about a 23" pike and he hooked it on a sucker rig, big single hook back then... I said "Id be surprised if that thing got hit".... Tony said "you might get the biggest surprise of your life!" nothing hit it :( ............. but this vid reminded me of that day and made me smile........ good job on a nice fish

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Yeah, Minnesota has the same problem with stunted pike, as I'm sure you know. That was a healthy muskie, Robbie. Congrats!! Wild net job there but you got her in the boat and that's all that matters. Actually, I've said this before, I prefer the view from the bow mount camera to the chest mount camera. Why? Because so often with the chest mount all you see is hands and a reel. You don't really get to see the action like you do with the bow mount camera. That one gives a full field of view, just like we were in the boat with you. That being said, the audio from the chest mount is better though.

[@silverakantor]

I love Pike and their relatives so much that I forget some places outright loathe Northern Pike. Well, they're still fun to cathc at any size for me.

[@Fingolfin3423]

You were so lucky to catch that fish with the net situation. Phew. That's how it goes with musky fishing sometimes, though. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you don't.

[@eddut6649]

Netting a big fish alone is not the easiest thing in the world to do. You got it done, and yes our Northern Wisconsin muskies are awesome!!

[@pikeaddict1]

Awesome solo job! Some of my best fish have come when fishing solo. Thank God for photos!

[@bojacksjuice]

Pretty awesome video. Love the pike concept, probably have to try that myself.

[@PHSPantherSoccer1]

Cool technique using the pike as bait. Thanks for explaining how you rig it. I've been curious over the last few videos exactly how you do it. I also think it is great that you're expanding the number of lines you have in the water. Keep up the great work!

[@cheryl.539]

What a cracking musky. Well done Robbie.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Robbie after you had that musky in your hands, it was like you were trying out for WWE wrestling,(ohhh yeah brother) lol I love it! I love your enthusiasm and positive attitude! Your an absolute joy, and an inspiration!

[@alliecurrie4693]

Nice fish. 😍 But is no one going to lovingly roast Robby for wearing socks with sandals? 😝😂 (@5:20)

[@davetheheretic295]

Basically you're using my PB pike as bait . . . Nice catch.

[@minkmink410]

Quake omg you are just the best. you are amazing .I wish I could be you .you are the best fisherman ever wow. How are you so good.

[@slo2sixty153]

@Quake you don't know where that guy lives he might not have a good pike fishery around him.

[@tannerh06]

Quake you also probably fishing on big water on a boat 😂😂

[@cooperwill2404]

pov: you are looking at the replies on this comment and you witness a big ol pissin match

[@Pill_hoe]

@Quake it depends where you're fishing? Don't act like a pro with that passive-aggressive comment

[@scottsanders9090]

Enjoyed both the excitement and the entertainment...well done

[@markthumb5075]

White knuckle SKI - Nice work Robbie!

[@bookermoore9470]

Great fish! Nice landing while all alone!

[@jldj5000]

great video Robbie, I enjoy seeing new techniques and that net job was pretty intense lol. Had me on my toes. Keep up that great work!

[@gregoryhunts3006]

That was some awesome slow motion footage of that big girl jumping and throwing that pike. I used to musky fish the 715 back in the late 80s and early 90s and we used to catch some big fish on sucker's but have never used a pike. That was really cool. It sucks to see so many stunted pike though we caught some dandys on the Willow and Ole reliable Sweeney back then, but we caught tons of hammer handles too.

[@ibanez2010]

Big fat muskie on a little pike. Absolutely awesome!!! The floating pike will be picked up by the eagles. Couldn't ask for better!

[@blingqueenlplaurenphillips910]

Glad to know I’m not the only one who has occasional trouble netting big fish!!

This guy says guys one more time I’m gonna eat a bowl of nails live on the news

[@dannyfishing4576]

Nice fish man. Love that feeling of getting a nice one after a grind. They always reward you.... eventually. Sometimes it just takes a long time haha

[@scottlaffin4420]

Awesome ski on the little gator Robbie

[@maestro0428]

Tense net job! "This is awesome!!!"

[@On2thecouch]

Keep at it Robbie. Great video.

[@derekolsen9621]

Really cool vid as usual. Nice job gettin that big girl in the bag.

[@nathanlodder1006]

Amen to the first 1:30!

[@coryfrandy3613]

Great video brother, I’m moving to the 715 this Friday. I will be using pike for bait when I get there, thanks to you!!! Keep up the great work 👍 ! Can’t wait.

[@bongboy420allday]

I'm in the 715

[@nicklarosa5309]

Beautiful muskie brother! Hopefully you come out to st clair again soon i would have you out here man!

[@marktrofflad7949]

Honestly one of ur best vids yet Rob 🤘👍

[@chrispollack493]

Robbie, how did you have that northern hooked up so it wouldn’t pull the bobber down on its own. I would think is own weight and swim would play tricks on you

[@TodaysAngler]

It does occasionally

[@FishNFoolLures]

Stellar net job there, Lol

[@chadphilip2987]

Really cool

[@adventures8977]

I think the pike will stay on the quickstrike rig better if it's hooked thru it's lower jaw because there's more cartilage to hold it.

[@pauchabey2793]

Fantastic video! Love seeing your excitement at every catch. As far as pike for bait goes, preditor/prey natural relationship! I don't see any difference between using pike, suckers, or pannies. Can't tell you how many times hammer handles have snagged my bluegills. Keep posting the awesome vids! Tight lines!

[@davetheheretic295]

In Colorado, they stock Tiger Muskie to keep sucker and (probably) carp populations under control. With pike it depends. Some waters advertise it, others will pay you $20 for each pike you harvest. Years ago, someone illegally introduced pike to the Yampa river which hurt trout populations. Division of Wildlife came through, electroshocked the pike, and put them in a state park near me. Like you say, checks and balances. In general, the waters that brag about their trout want the pike gone.

[@JeffVonH]

Hammer Handle pike are bred to be used as bait or pickled! The pike population has gone continuously up since I started fishing those lakes in 1985. Catching a pike used to be a surprise up there, now you get one or two every time you're out casting for muskies! The DNR will set limits and rules keep following those and likely the fisheries will stay in good shape! I believe you were fishing the lake where I caught my PB this summer.

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Nice musky Robbie, healthy fish.

[@gregoryhunts3006]

15 to 200 bux depending on who makes it. You can get some nice lures in the 15 to 40 dollar range. Bigger bait's and plastic's can get quite pricey though.

[@rodbelding9523]

Using pike for bait is so bizarre to me lol because thats just not a thing in my neck of the woods.

[@koralmn3837]

Pretty sure it’s illegal in MN to use them as bait but could be wrong

[@CityNDN]

might try a quick strike rig from my ice fishing tackle to rig up for open water musky.

[@davidscearse4104]

Totally agree

[@DGard-gx3bm]

Well, I wish I could musky fish soon.... school is starting tomorrow for me 😢. Hope 8th grade is nice to me. Anyway, love from Iowa, gonna save up for a max toro reel and bull dawg predator rod.

[@frankhunt5018]

Awesome stuff, BTW The Musky Shop has 13 different Z leader Sucker Rigs, which one were you using today and why?

[@TodaysAngler]

I believe the 14-18 inch

[@zleadersfishing]

Each rig has different length leads for the size of your bait so the treble hooks are always in the best positions to hook and catch the fish!! All with razor sharp VMC hooks!

[@owen1737]

Im from europe and fish mainly for pike, gonna try a baby pike too

[@TodaysAngler]

Not a bad idea

[@cudafrank]

What county’s in WI is the pike bait legal? Just curious??

[@weswickham2913]

I wish Minnesota would allow this on select Waters.

[@imn1ppystr]

where you guys at in the NW?

[@jackwea7728]

Nice catch man!

[@stevenhager6685]

Robbie - Great video; congrats! Do you recommend Tranx 400 vs Tranx 500?

[@TodaysAngler]

Both have a purpose. 500 for rippin rubber and big blades.

[@mikelebarron1977]

Ok get fishing I need another video!

[@TheIkeClanton]

Hope to get out with you in Sept.

[@brianluttmer3614]

Any tips for catching porpoising muskies? They never seem interested in whatever I throw when I see them.

[@DGard-gx3bm]

Have you tried topwater?

[@brianluttmer3614]

@@DGard-gx3bm Tried, but haven't been successful!

[@DGard-gx3bm]

@@brianluttmer3614 Oh, that's the only advice I've got. Most muskies will strike a topwater when porposing, so the ones you are after must be really finicky in what they eat. Granted I have never caught one, but on some of the other Today's Angler videos one will porpoise and get caught on a Lee Lures topwater.

[@trentonwall3337]

Great catch!

[@ssm59]

Creative netting there Rob

[@TodaysAngler]

It wasn’t pretty 😂

[@alanbuvelot831]

Robbie another great video. I am surprised other fishing shows don't hire you to be their editor for video. But that would cut into your fishing time.😊

[@shanesommer]

Full moon fishing is where its at.... top water at night

[@zleadersfishing]

Your Welcome Robby! Nice Fish! I told ya! What took ya so long to use the Z LEADERS RIGS? We designed the Rigs to work with Suckers, Bass, Walleyes, Panfish & Pike. The hooking percentages are INSANE! Z

[@marks2091]

Nice catch. I just lost about a 7 pound largemouth when I was fishing by myself couple weeks ago trying to hold.the fish on the rod and scooping it with a net. Between the adrenaline racing and the awkwardness of trying handle.the net Im sure it.looked to.onlookers.that I was.batting the fish around using the net as a weird.looking hockey stick. Needless to.say it eventually spit the hook. Watching that net job of yours triggered my PTLFS..Post tramatic lost fish syndrome. Well, theres always tomorrow redeem myself....

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I myself, don't really mind you using game fish as bait for fishing(as long as it's legal). I do have a quick question though? Why not use a bluegill, crappie, perch, etc?.....laws? Regulations? Just curious. I'm from Michigan. Obviously laws are different? Great video robbie! 👍

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@8:44 It's the Loch Ness Monster!!

Hey I just started Muskie fishing on a dock with. A lot of weeds do u have any suggestions for lures?

[@illmuskyhunter3313]

Hey some Mepps giant killers and throw them

[@tombean9689]

what town/area are you guys fishin? i dont fish muskie im just curious on lake

[@bigtimegoblin]

What net do you guys run

[@fishingdevotion8277]

I do a lot of live bait fishing for pike and my advise to you is to strike when the fish has the bait in its mouth, I lost so many big ones that just ended up dropping the bait because they would feel the hook ! Great video otherwise ! Tight lines

[@K.B.Fishing]

Nice video

Where’s Leeroy?

[@averyhanson4375]

Dang he came off

[@johnlamont3885]

hell of a hook set robbie

[@switchbtw6743]

How much are the lures???

[@Brodieeeful]

Marcus Smith you can get good baits for about 40 - 50 bucks

[@larrystolzman9337]

Hi Robbie: I have a suggestion for your Muskie outings. We’ll fish together. Since I’m 70+ I’ll catch small pike you can use for bait. Since you’re younger and stronger you catch 50” muskies. Is it a deal? Let me know when you want to go fishing.🤓 Stay safe, God Bless!

[@DLH-ws2xy]

Great vid. Yeah ....Learn to flood the net....then let it swim in. Scooping is a bad habit. If it's well hooked ... What's the issue. My best is 3.....46 and a half inch. I prefer to Troll. You should troll those pike. Your giving those big ones to long to look. Make em want it bad. Speed is the key. In Virginia now you can't even keep one less than 48". Was always 42" Here 40" or better is an award fish. Add some trolling to your game.🎣🎣🎣 DLH1270 Muskie Expert VDGIF 2017 Hall of Fame 2017.

I took a fishing guide with that guy

[@mugenep12]

Why don't you guys ever say what body of water your fishing. Does it have to be that big of a secret?

[@Twangtown7]

Did Robbie's voice just turn the same way Christian Bale's did whenever he put the Batman mask on?

[@TodaysAngler]

🤣

[@bobcumbers4316]

Gonna have to try that with pike, but fishing has been so bad for me up in northwoods i didnt even catch 1 pike last yr. Fished for a solid week caught 2 small lg mouth bass...i suck

[@larrystolzman9337]

bob cumbers: Hi Bob: If fishermen and women were really honest we’d all say we suck once in a while. Don’t get discouraged. Fish more, stress less and enjoy all that goes on when you’re on the water. Some of my best days fishing were when I didn’t catch a fish. Your fishing will get better.

[@jaxstreet1185]

Are we not gonna make fun of him for the net job on the 50”?

[@jarredhudd9578]

I'm an avid pike angler in the UK 🇬🇧 so this seems strange for me. Great video

[@sethengle4724]

You should try using bass or crappie as bait that be cool

[@jmryan2]

whatever puts fish in the boat!

[@paterpeter1985]

The solution is simple, stop killing any pike. The big pike will control the smaller pike as you proved in the previous video. If the pike are native, nature will do its own management. Just like canadian waters and Europe as well, I am always surprised about the lack of giant pike in the US compared to Canada. It can’t be the climate, here in Europe the biggest pike are caught (and released !) in the more temperate regions of the continent.

[@veithr3293]

Keep it up the freak wi fish get even bigger and nastier.

[@Levi-xd2cj]

10:30 pls kill the fish first man

Then it isnt live bait

First to comment

[@rfree2887]

Hard seeing a species I've fished for my whole life being used for bait. I understand the population issue but think there are better ways to control it. Huge fan of the channel and all the vids, just don't like game fish used for bait. Personal opinion I know, keep up the good work!

[@Codeman887]

In Minnesota, there is a huge issue with pike destroying food chains. It'd be like cutting up a carp for catfish bait if you will.

[@rfree2887]

I know, that's where I've fished most of my life. I think the bigger problem with populations of different species is man's involvement. MN has plenty of lakes that every year they point to a different species as the current problem. Lakes ecosystems were fine till we started deciding what and how many should be in them. Fish eat fish and the strong reproduce.

[@ibanez2010]

​@@rfree2887 That may be the case, but the problem is present and it's not just going to sort it itself out on its own. If you care about the future of our fisheries, it's time to act. Whether that is keeping more small pike or using them for bait. It hopefully won't have to be that way forever. The numbers just need to be drastically reduced and then the population will be small enough that nature CAN sort it out on its own.

[@zrayray3054]

thankfully baiting fishing you catch is illegal where I live. No idea how you see this as ethical.

[@illmuskyhunter3313]

Sorry but I got to say something for Michael to tell me to stop posting about that Lake and then you guys are fishing with Live Pike which is a well-known tactic on that Lake specifically is pretty ridiculous. The kid tells me that I need to stop posting about it as if anybody I talked to has ever gone up there because of something I said but you guys have over 40,000 followers and I guarantee you this next year people are going to be quite striking Pike everywhere. I don't ever say shit but that is absolutely ridiculous

[@Trevfishing]

People are crying about you using a pike for bait . What a bunch of baby’s
