The Best Techniques For Catching Monster Musky!

[@drbell310]

I was out on the boat that day for the monster musky. I can tell you, it is the biggest one I have ever seen. Once in a lifetime fish. Thanks Jim!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks Dr Cos. It was a day to remember for sure. Having 2 monsters on in the same day and boating one at 56” was amazing. Appreciate the comment and support.

[@holliehanley]

Seems like Musky fishing is like no other! Seems worth it though! What a cool looking fish!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

It is unique for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate it.

So Jim you hook up your lead core line right to planer board with know issues?

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Hey. Thanks for writing. No problems with that connection as lead core is basically braided line with a piece of lead Inside. I sometimes use the OR18 release from offshore tackle to keep the lead core in place if needed

[@outdoorsman9384]

@JimHanelyfishing thanks Jim , so what's is the make of your planer board that would hold my led core real good, thanks again

[@JimHanleyfishing]

www.offshoretackle.com/category/Planer-Boards-6 The OR 12s are what I use for walleye fishing. The ones i used in the musky video were magnums, which are overkill for walleye. The offshore tackle web site has everything you need. Thanks again for reaching out Happy new year!

Great video Jim! Thanks

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Very welcome. Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching.

[@matthewsnydershorts8837]

That looks awesome and fun

[@JimHanleyfishing]

It’s the chance to catch a fish that’s as long as you are but it’s also like hunting for a trophy buck…you have to put the time in. Thanks for watching Matt

[@ScooterSWNY]

Great video captain. i didnt know about the tagging program...thats cool. I remember when you guys caught that monster in the harbor. its one of the biggest ever in the area and the guy who caught it was a big as a gronk! ha ha

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks Appreciate the comment. It sure was a monster. Please like and subscribe if you haven’t already.

Wow.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Big muskies around here

[@YouYa01-]

Would live bait be a better option than lures for musky ?

[@JimHanleyfishing]

That’s a great question. Live bait is always a better way to catch any fish and the same goes for musky. I’ve caught the biggest ones In my career but have more with live bait such as suckers and other large bait fish. Thanks for watching

[@andrewporzio9045]

Can you let me know what type of lead core you are using? I’m having trouble finding some heavy duty stuff for the harbor.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

I get mine from bass pro shops, beyond braid in 36 lb test. Thanks for watching.

[@andrewporzio9045]

@@JimHanleyfishing thanks for getting back to me. I’m nervous using 36 lb but I’ll trust you if it’s not breaking on you! For my reg braid line I use 80 so I wasn’t sure if I should trust 36… Thanks for the tip!!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

@andrewporzio9045 we caught that 56 incher on 36 lb lead and actually straightened out the hooks on another fish that same day due to the drag being too tight. Set the drag just right…It works fine. Check out my video on trying the mono to lead know. Catch a big one!

That bait looks like a Wiley king
