Her dad: What are your intentions with my daughter? Me: 3:19

[@sebastianbr88]

I started a drinking game with all your videos. I take a sip every time you say "gosh" and "dang."

[@JeffVonH]

Nice! Really good to see the slump buster in the net!

[@charlestonsharkandsurf]

The fall videos are always nice. Look at those treelines.

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Nice muskie Michael, great video.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Seeing wild otters is always a good omen! It's a great thing to see thier populations starting to spring back some! Naturally a part of the ecosystem obviously! And a 43" musky is nothing to turn your nose up at! I'd be happy to catch one! Conditions have been tough here!

[@timothythompson2678]

Congratulations on breaking the 715 slump! As of today on a 2 month slump in the 606.

Robbie went full Rick flare wooooooo

[@donmiles9083]

Nice segment. It's hard not to get discouraged, but you guys kept grinding. Fine job. Beautiful fish!

[@jimmiejohnson9762]

You guys rock. I'm in Washington state but have a home in new Auburn. Never caught a muskie yet my parents live in Hayward. I miss my first chance up there in August when I was out there. Can't wait to get a chance to fish with you guys.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I ran into some of your friends at a boat ramp the other day and I was so excited to meet some of you guys!!! I was definitely being a fan girl a little bit but they were so amazing and helpful! I hope I get to meet you and Lee one day here in Michigan!

[@justkeepcasting]

Tank. I use to see otters on Big Saint every year 👍

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

That was a very nice fish. Seeing you guys miss the hook set got me thinking back many years. I was sucker fishing with a friend for big pike. He got a hit on his sucker, waited a bit and set the hook. He had his hands full for a couple of minutes and we were excited thinking he had a very large pike on. No muskie in this lake. He gets it to come up off the bottom and I'm waiting with the net. Look into the water and what to my wondering eyes should appear? A big snapping turtle. About the time I was wondering how to handle it it opened its jaws and let go of the sucker. It was never hooked fortunately. I had a similar experience on a different lake that when I set the hook my rod doubled over and I felt heavy weight for about 1 second and then my line was cut clean. No muskie in this lake either. At first I thought a big pike cut me off but on further reflection I now think it was another snapping turtle. Never saw what it was so I really don't know but I tend to doubt that there was a pike big enough in that lake to have felt that heavy and cut me off that fast. The point being, some of the sucker hits you get might not be fish. Keep that in the back of your mind for future reference. I'm not saying that a turtle hit your suckers in this video, Robbie. It's just a possibility when using suckers.

Glad to see Peyton Manning doing something cool, after football.

[@esoxaddict]

It looks to me that your setting the hook straight up and not letting the fish swim away from you. Hard to tell from the video but that's what it looks like to me. If it was easy everybody would it.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

It's a little more complicated than just setting the hook straight up with a sucker rig. These guys have a lot more sucker fishing if you check out thier channel seriously some of the best musky anglers on KZbin! I've learned a ton from them!

[@esoxaddict]

@@ericsfishingadventures4433 I believe I've seen every episode they've posted and sucker fishing isn't really that complicated.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

@@esoxaddict OK I believe I have as well. Wasn't trying to offend you just trying to help someone out in case they didn't know? Maybe? Thanks for the reply.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

@@esoxaddict and your right probably not to complicated but expensive. Musky fishing is crazy addictive. I've spent way too much money for this sport but I love it!

[@jdean1851]

Excellent Work!! Nice Fish!

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice catch 😎🎣🎣🎣

[@craigstulgin9713]

Good work keeping at it guys nice fish

[@sgangling]

Good stuff. Love the sucker action!

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Don't forget that bass flipping stick got you that FAT 52 on clair! Lol

[@jamescarter8944]

Classic.

[@nickkolesnik5054]

Theres been no suckers of size down here hardly any walleye suckers too

[@adventures8977]

Do you guys get the bumpboard wet before you measure?

[@roberttollefsen713]

Where are you fishing in this video?

[@settinghooksncrossingeyes8372]

Tis the sucker season!!

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

And hey sorry about the all the comments. But at least those fat muskies got a real meal out of stealing your suckers! Lol just my opinion but sometimes I feel that musky are more intelligent than we know!? That's why conservation and responsible fishing is so important. Just so we can learn and study these species and others! Great video as always!

[@phillkirby]

You need to put hooks on dude 🤣🤣🤣

[@Elimino_P]

At what point will the suckers cost enough that you'll go catch your own?

[@mnsportsman7005]

How do you get the bobber to detach from line? Please reply I’ve been sucker fishing and want to know this because I lost a fish because I couldn’t get bobber off.

[@rorkewhite8974]

What bib are you wearing Robbie???

[@gregoryhunts3006]

Damn 11 bux for a sucker? Im in the wrong business. Fishing the last day of trout season I must have caught 25 suckers.

[@BSHEP23]

A Muskie with an $11 sucker in it's mouth. That would be a $23 fish... in Illinois. :)

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Just give them a while longer to get the sucker turned around. They have a tendency to turn them around and eat them head first. And if you dont want to give them that extra chow down time hook your suckers back wards yes you heard that right hook the tail end first head end last so they can eat from the head side first and get the hook into thier mouth quicker .been doing it this way for years now and have never lost a fish hooking them up tail end first. Will need a differant rig then you usually use though lee could figure out how to make one no problem. Give it try next time thank me later. And please keep the vids coming it helps me get through my lulls while bait making.

[@chris302fur]

Great video guys! The musky shortage sucks but big fish hit 10" suckers too!

[@alanbuvelot831]

Remember one year going to 0/6. Never know with suckers.

[@Sir_Smokesalot]

Where is lee??

[@adamsmith8533]

Seems to me you,d want to reel down till you feel em before setting the hook.

[@brettcox7941]

How about hanging a siwash hook on its head, point facing away from its tail? All the experts say that Musky turn the sucker to eat it head first. I suppose you may gut hook ‘em, that’s not good. I say FISH - ON!!! If you caught every fish you ever met you’d probably quit cuz it would be too easy.

[@kjeezy421]

Come up and fish for them but good luck getting suckers. There are literally none...
