By far my favorite musky channel on KZbin. Let's go boys!!! 🤘 I'll be on LOTW in a week and then Cedar second week of August 😁

[@54orbust]

Glad to hear you find value in what we offer! We do this for YOU!

[@James_vasmillionthevile]

And it begins 🤘🤘. Brother-in-law was so jealous from last year that he decided to go with his wife to Cedar July 9-12th. Great video Glenn.

[@54orbust]

Thanks James! And we're off...

[@cabbagedragonmedia]

Let’s freaking go! So many great things going on in this video. Love the fan shout outs and community engagement. Elite bait/location break down. Talk about taking things to the next level in 2024. Can’t wait to see more from the 54 or Bust crew!

[@54orbust]

Thanks CDM appreciate you brother! We plan to show our appreciation to the amazing community that has grown out of our shared love of all things musky! We also plan to take breakdowns to a whole new level! Watching us catch a fish is one thing, helping others fonds those locations and understand them is another! 54 or Bust on 24 is all about sharing and giving! But you knew that, we talk all the time!

[@mpbarga]

Happy to support the channel. Love what you're doing for us out here. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@54orbust]

Appreciate you brother! I'm a fan of everyone that supports us!

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Great video Glen, looking forward to following you and the gang this season. Keep up the great work brother.

[@54orbust]

We have lots planned! You'll see it all right here, from both sides of the camera! #thisisreellife

[@bigjgordon]

GET AFTER IT FELLAS!!! Hope to see you on the water soon!

[@54orbust]

We're working on it, getting some new cameras figured out and working on new camera angles etc...

[@rickseeger6100]

Absolutely wish you and Dave the best in 'Beast Quest' 2024, I have too much crap going on to get out much it seems, so I love watching the channel!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Rick, appreciate that! Hopefully things will start rolling here soon!

[@andyroo2232]

I love the floating ruler you guys got. The data is great for Muskies Canada for sure. We all love a good musky pic but we love a quick release better and a water measure is a great compromise. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see what else you guys have in store this year.

[@54orbust]

We figure it's easier to get a quick measure on these fish with the stick. It's not exact but close enough and saves handling time! Appreciate you watching!

[@benbourgon8159]

Can’t wait for what’s to come, love every video you guys kill it. Can’t wait to see some giants you guys get this year, best of luck guys.

[@54orbust]

Thanks for much Ben! Truly appreciate it!

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Have a great season!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Dirk! I'll be following your big pike adventures as well!

[@edwardsedlak4303]

Great start to the year team!! Looking forward to more breakdowns and of course some pigs. Get after 'em!!

[@54orbust]

Been a slow start, but we'll get there. Appreciate you watching!

[@brucekent7859]

Nice start to the season, fellas. There isn’t a chance I would ever look twice at the lure like the one in this episode if I didn’t see it on your channel. Now I’m gonna need one.

[@54orbust]

Lol, that's awesome! Then our job here is working! Wink wink Seriously, the castable flies are a very viable lure segment! Think of it as a finesse style of lure that will cover water quickly! Man, your comment made my day! 😎

[@DavidScearse]

Awesome video love what your going to be doing have a great season

[@54orbust]

Appreciate you coming along for the ride!!!

[@differentfins]

I have a feeling its going to be a great year! This high water has been great so far. I got a muskie on opener from a canoe in Big Vermillion near Sioux, not a giant, just a solid 3 footer. But any muskie is a good muskie, especially when I need to drive 2+ hours to get to a musky lake. Cheers

[@54orbust]

That's awesome! For us, we have to start somewhere, and this is the beginning, not the end. I know it will only get better from here! Thanks for watching!

[@MattVavrochFishing]

Great stuff dude, awesome way to start the season!

[@54orbust]

It's a start, hopefully looking up from here on! Thx for watching!

[@nathanlodder1006]

Stick a pig boys, can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Nathan! We're gonna giver all we got! Appreciate you watching!

[@GaryWithers-DaBears]

Have fished many years on Cedar and LOW. Can you recommend a few others. Great show for sure.

[@54orbust]

We try not to name lakes when we are fishing on them, but we are going to cover all the lakes in the area in some special segments this season!

[@Veritas84Aequitas]

I hope I never lose my Grabb It or god forbid it ever breaks. I should've bought 2 years back. That 1 tool has come in so useful and I'm hard pressed to think of a release tool that even compares unless we're talking Knipex ops

[@travisgriffiths8170]

It’s also doubled in price since 2 years ago haha

[@54orbust]

I agree! An important tool to have in the boat! And they used to be so cheap to buy!

[@surfingfireman]

Did you get the girth measurement for Muskies Canada? I just use a small piece of rope or string and wrap it around the fish while in the net. Pinch my finger where on the string where it meets itself then measure that on the bump board (or your stick).

[@54orbust]

good idea, I didn't even realize that we needed a girth for muskies canada, we will girth the larger fish, but these small ones we will take a best guess on them, to limit the handling. Appreciate the tip, and thanks for watching!

[@approachingtarget.4503]

You got a bunch of large crank baits. I can't imagine not using them while trolling in and out of picked locations over deeper water. On completely slow days ...troll on your way back into the landing.

[@54orbust]

We did a trolling run on opener but we were not seeing bait over deep break lines. But you'll see more of us trolling this season!

[@tonymosbach2868]

Hey all, what knot do you all use when tying braid to a steel leader? I'm looking for easy yet strong 💪 Thank you!

[@54orbust]

The Palomar Knot! Best braid to musky leader Knot! #muskyfishing #thisisreellife

[@atrickofthefloyd4208]

We’re one of the shield lakes up here in sunset county, we’ve had close to 30 follows in 4 days. Any advice on how to convert more of these fish, we’ve thrown all sorts of different baits

[@54orbust]

Stay off the spots until peak moon phase or in front of weather. Vary the lures each time you approach the spots. Don't pound on them, make a pasd and come back on the next moon or Sun event. Best of luck. I like this as a video topic!

[@RonCondreva]

Were can I get the lures you talk about the Srj and the dipstick and blade with no name ????

[@54orbust]

Thanks for watching! The SRJ is from Pandemonium Tackle, check socials. The Dipstick is from Topline Baits, check socials. The BWNN is from Dadson Blade Baits but not available in any retail enviroments.

[@peaderobrien9438]

Hi love your videos myself and my friend are coming to Canada in September to fish for musky on Lake Nipissing how would you go about catching them on the lake Thanks Peadar

[@54orbust]

Appreciate the support! I have never fished Nipp so I can't be of much help there. For me, I would start with the most obvious looking spots and use my most confidence inspiring baits to start with. Find fish and work out from there.

[@peaderobrien9438]

Thanks will do happy fishing

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

How heavy is your jig lure? I ask because you mention using a lighter action rod to throw it. Do you have a public mailing address?

[@54orbust]

I'll put it on the scale, but a little action rod for castable flies helps with the lighter weight for casting and helps add some more action to it!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@54orbust I'll make it easier, can you throw it with your typical small bucktail rod?

[@jenksfan5]

Looking forward to a great season! We’ll be up Aug 3-10 this year again if you want to fish for a few hours!

[@RiverRidgeOutdoors]

Home it is , and you will never realize what the NWO is , until you leave , I'm homesick 11 months of the year !!! LOL

[@54orbust]

We are fortunate, and this year it feels like cursed, we just can't get a handle on these fish for the first time in over a decade we are really struggling.

[@RiverRidgeOutdoors]

@@54orbust , weather conditions ??? I hope you get into them soon , I'm living the dream thru your channel ...
