Between your channel, and NDYakAngler, I truly appreciate when a video is uploaded. No hype, no 15min intro to get video length, just pure fishing and showing how it really is! Absolutely love it!

[@TodaysAngler]

Thank you kindly.

[@toddspors8592]

Very cool video! Thanks for having that "glass half full" perspective and not giving up on the day! I haven't seen the 2nd half of your video yet and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Good luck

[@cabinnorthwi4622]

Love the honesty and humility Lee.

[@lifeisfuneh]

1:31 I WILL NEVER EVER hear these words in my house! You are lucky dude Lee! :)

[@TodaysAngler]

Ha, no doubt.

[@tonyahinkle1014]

Water color and clarity are gorgeous. Great footage of that surprise hit.

[@johnrock7308]

Always a great day on the water with Lee ! Right on brother, way to get after it, stay positive !!

[@kenseymour5152]

Glad too see your back fishing brother after your heart surgery

[@TodaysAngler]

Thanks

[@rg22outdooradventures88]

Duck tape and JB Weld 🤣. Sounds like a day I would have except the fish wouldn't bite adding insult to injury.

[@MasterBassin]

Cool video and lots of cool follows!

[@jdean1851]

NICE GRIND LEE...KOOL BOATSIDE EAT....GOOD TIMES ! Cheers to U and Barb from Idaho!

[@TodaysAngler]

Thanks!!

[@barbbaker7567]

Thank you! 🎉

[@dMesanfishing]

Nice lure . .and beautifull spot fishing . .youre video very amazing 👍

[@whodunnett1850]

Wow 1st, nice to see the gang back together!!

[@jamiebays4490]

Love that u post realistic videos of getting skunked. Every other show only posts catches.

[@TodaysAngler]

We don't prefer it but we at least had decent action.

[@pinkadam8989]

I know that feeling Lee! This opener I get to the ramp and found my fuel line was busted right open spewing gas everywhere. After some explicit language and a couple hours I ended up on my dad’s pontoon drifting as best I could with the wind.

[@TodaysAngler]

Do what ya gotta do

[@alanbuvelot831]

Or break out another thousand. Love Barb's enthusiasm to go fishing.

[@peekosama2709]

Awwww man, wasn't paying enough attention on that 8 my friend. Nice vid has always

[@TodaysAngler]

🤷‍♂️

[@christiangranholm324]

Best video yet lol

[@mikek860]

Glad to see you musky fishing again. Also, Barb is awesome!

[@TodaysAngler]

Thanks. I'll tell her 😆

[@jamesnauert7844]

I guess I’m not the only one to see my boat go down the street on a flatbed 😂 Great action and super footage of those musky.

[@TodaysAngler]

No good.

[@jamesnauert7844]

Todays Angler not at all, just had to put a new axel under my boat trailer 🥺

[@elliottdeiters4630]

thank u for the video man

[@rodbelding9523]

That hit at 6:30 was the coolest bite ever haha.

[@jamiebays4490]

I was thinking the same thing. Lure was just chilling on top n that fish came outta nowhere

[@randyfonk575]

My opener lake 3 years ago. Haven’t been back.

[@jefffrancis7198]

Barbs got the bug!

[@barbbaker7567]

Is that what I have? 😂😊

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Lee: As Pete Mania once said,"Muskies Suck." It's hard to argue with him. Hope you get your trailer fixed soon and it's not too expensive.

[@TodaysAngler]

Took a month to get it back. Price wasn't bad though.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@@TodaysAngler Good to hear that it wasn't too expensive. I know the sinking feeling of having your boat up on a flatbed truck, not much fun.

[@89101]

Opening !!! Cool

[@jjwb22]

Best story.. the lure isn't doing anything because of a backlash and he's talking with the lure doing the same thing but no backlash and he gets eaten. Lol

[@TodaysAngler]

Fate

[@adamsmith3996]

that was the best non catch ive ever seen !

[@Nigscoop]

You should try out Elkhart Lake. Ive been having very good luck lately. Lost a 48+ today at the boat

[@TodaysAngler]

Wow

[@Xavier-cn8dv]

Love that lake. Caught my first Wisconsin musky there on double prop topwater.

[@dylanulrich1295]

Which lake?

[@Xavier-cn8dv]

@@dylanulrich1295 I can’t. I’m sorry. If it makes you feel better I would fish the Madison chain over this one. And I have.

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

That curado rod with the single cork handle piece will be missed! I’m super disappointed they discontinued them.

[@TodaysAngler]

Sad

[@rustemon3692]

6.32 shows you must be unconcantreated😁

[@carolbaker1762]

Great video! Sorry about the trailer axel Lee. Loved seeing that huge muskie lunge out of the water after your lure, beautiful!

[@barbbaker7567]

Thanks, mom. ❤

[@TodaysAngler]

Ha,thanks

[@jameshansen1490]

Love ya LEE!

[@TodaysAngler]

Thanks James.

[@kep6916]

seen musky spawning , got one on a bass swimbait a tickle tail on a vmc jighead bass fishing . ive seen 4 fish so far, and 1 billion mosquitos . the u.p. is getting good but bring the bug repellant its bad !! my fish was a 35 incher super fun though !!

[@20x20Ghost]

Go with stainless steel U bolts and they will last forever Musky always hit when you arent paying attention thats a good tactic a little anxious to hook the one that was eating your lure maybe shouldve waited a little longer before ripping thanks for the great footage what a clear lake

[@Baileyhlynch]

Would you ever consider making a jumbo chatter bait I catch big pickerel all the time on then just interested in seeing if it would work scaled up

[@TodaysAngler]

[@mxbass1036]

👍

[@slimecoast2coast]

I would hate to try to make a musky video lol. Its a crapshoot!

[@teammusky7469]

Lee can you use the death pause minnow 5.5 on musky setup? Or should i use my pike setup when using your bait plz? Really like to learn from you and Robbie on how to be a better musky fishermen. Thanks guys keep up the great work...

[@TodaysAngler]

No, heavy bass or pike set up. We use 50lb braid on a flippin stick.

[@teammusky7469]

@@TodaysAngler I appreciate your reply. Thanks Lee. Keep up the cool videos you and Robbie put out.

[@waynewade6723]

Well Lee clearly Barb wears the pants, hopefully she at least let you try them on from time to time!!!😁

[@barbbaker7567]

Actually, we both wear pants 😊

[@TodaysAngler]

😆

[@heinrichbier4759]

What hat is that Lee? I want one. Killer footage and edit

[@muskymikeoutdoors]

I was wondering do you spray your lures with chemicals that get rid of human scent?

[@TodaysAngler]

Do not

[@mikeleisher3089]

I live in Southern Wisconsin and would like to know what lake you're at? Looks like Governor Dodge.

[@TodaysAngler]

Maybe😉

[@chadhartman8282]

Still a good day of fishing except the boat part 🤷‍♂️

[@Psykout]

Oh man that's hilarious... Fish won't go after the bait when you try and figure 8 it as it swims by but you get a strike with lure just sitting in the water while you are looking at the clouds. Cliche muskie day.

[@TodaysAngler]

Exactly

[@joshjo9184]

Funny how u can bye top doller stuff and it fails. But a boat sitting around for 20 years and its nothing special can last a lifetime. These big money companys need to step up there game if there going to charge what they do. They skip on the little stuff that could make for a bad day.

[@TodaysAngler]

True

[@randyfonk575]

That lake sucks! Notorious for viewing fish but not biting fish. You beat the odds.

[@davetheheretic295]

Yardwork over fishing?!?! Who are you?!?! Don't make me unsubscribe.

[@TodaysAngler]

Baw, was disappointed not getting out early missing morning bite.

[@alexkoutdoor]

@@TodaysAngler Morning bite is a thing. Most don't believe me, but I believe in it. Regardless of species. For me, also easier to pattern the progression of the day from there.
