Spillway Fishing For the Rarest Fish in Illinois!

[@Looolomfg]

You got that fishing tan. Nice fish and dope to see your mom with you

[@ButchSlemmer]

Like how you respect the musky especially when it’s hot. Pretty color down their backs. Fight real hard. Great video!

[@donnaslemmer-qh2pp]

Awesome how you love this sport and really care about how you handle the fish. They sure put up a good fight! Good job and great video.

[@DCOutdoors]

Luke congratulations on the catch. Good on you for being as careful as possible with the Musky! A few close calls on more. Weird that they have a smell to them. No musky here so I enjoyed the video. So many close calls Luke! Really liked this video.

[@lukeslemmer]

Thank you!

Thanks for the support Dan!

[@susanslemmer9699]

That was a fun fishing trip - a little hot. Such neat looking fish!

[@bdizzle1729]

Great video! I'm new to muskie fishing and was wondering what type of line did you use?

[@lukeslemmer]

Thanks! I use just 20 lb flourocarbon. But on a legit Muskie setup I would use braid to a super heavy flouro leader.

Those are some beautiful fish 🎣 we don’t have those in my neck of the woods. Great video

[@madtownangler]

Thought you were maybe fishing for paddlefish but then you caught musky on a bass fishing setup which was cool. Every musky I have ever gotten was on a bass lure and one time I caught one with corn.

[@lukeslemmer]

They sure are a ton of fun to catch on the lighter setups. Catching one on corn is crazy

[@Simon-jf9nk]

I liked your narration. Way to stick with it on a hot day.

[@lanedavies7]

That's about as good as I can get you to, I got you to 998 subs, keep up the hard work man🎣🎣💪🏻

[@lukeslemmer]

Thank you so much!

[@lanedavies7]

@@lukeslemmer No problem!

[@mulldaddyoutdoors111]

Nice video man! I just posted a 2 part series from that same spot. We got 15 in one day it was wild. Tight lines brotha 🤘🏼

[@lukeslemmer]

Thanks! 15 in one day is insane

[@jerrydavis1644]

Shelbyville? I have never fished below the dam, but I have a friend that lives 2 miles away from it. Great spot for walleye too.

[@lukeslemmer]

ive heard its good for walleye, never tried for them tho. The muskie fishing there is very good

[@jakejohnson9299]

Shelbyville is awesome

[@jakejohnson9299]

My only musky came from this spillway, we were tied to the wall and it was swimming next to a school of shad. Dipped the net in front of it and it swam right in. Released after a quick pic

[@lukeslemmer]

thats crazy that you were able to net it

[@jakejohnson9299]

@@lukeslemmer I was fishing with a friend from Chicago and was his idea to stick the net directly in front of it. He told me they bolt forward 90 percent of the time

[@cedricmorgan2519]

Your first one, I’m willing bet I catch that same fish😂 the gills hanging out Through his guilt plate

[@jeffreystiefel454]

I live across the highway from there next time let me know and u can get a locals inside

[@lukeslemmer]

Might have to take you up on that, thanks for watching

[@DCOutdoors]

First!!!

[@TylerNashan]

I want to go so bad but it’s a 3 and 1/2 hour drive

[@lukeslemmer]

It’s 2 hours for me. It’s worth it if they are biting.

[@TylerNashan]

@@lukeslemmer heard there always biting over there 😂

[@craftyboi9169]

how do you find these spots

[@lukeslemmer]

ive fished every lake within like 2 1/2 hours of where i live. that's the best way to figure out the best spots. but also talking with people, everyone has a good spot they might share

[@jasonreed1388]

Where is this at bro
