Nice work guys! Beautiful fish! Tight lines bros.

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thanks brother!

[@mikecollins2476]

This is awesome pretty good session considering it's winter. Might have to try some creeks/rivers this year. I haven't been out since December but it's gonna be warm this week hopefully I'll get out and get on one👊

[@ryanwolf6174]

Nicely done great catches!

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thank you!

[@VaughnHolderman]

Nice job man!! I need to get back after the musky! Never got a January Musky myself!

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thanks Vaughn! We gotta link up and try again soon

[@VaughnHolderman]

@@absoluteunitmedia I agree man we do!

[@frogmanfishing]

Sometimes the small game makes the difference. The days have been counting down to getting my first January skee but the weather has not been in my favor with my work schedule this year so for

[@alanbuvelot831]

Wish Indiana small rivers and creeks had skis. We got some good lakes, ice is off need to get a February musky, only month I haven't caught one. Anyways good job guy's.👍

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thanks

[@sgangling]

Awesome vid! How bout a little competition this year? Who catches the most Musky. 1 to 1 so far!

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thanks Sam! You’re on…just promise to still net mine if we’re in the same boat!

[@sgangling]

@Absolute Unit Media lol you got it. I have my work cut out for me as you fish a lot more than I do

[@pittsburghangler]

That was a nice fish your brother caught. They grow pretty slow down there. They don't get much bigger then that there. There used to be a 47 down there years ago but I believe someone harvested it or so I was told. That one with a weird skull I caught 3 years ago and it's crazy it looks like it hasn't grown whatsoever.

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Thanks ya maybe a little male. That one Johnny caught was the nicest I’ve seen with my own eyes caught there

[@pamusky3025]

I just reel this lure in today, if its yours you can have it back.

[@MsRadar23]

good fish ish 🐟👊🏽

[@alfredsayers5969]

Do you ever catch saugeyes / walleyes in there also while throwing those jerkbaits?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Nope 🤷‍♂️

[@woodsandwater123]

Is there saugeyes in there?!

[@absoluteunitmedia]

@@woodsandwater123 I’ve heard walleye, not sauger or saugeye

[@ericwimmer2155]

Nice fellas. Are these fish stocked in that lil creek or are thy natural fish that have just migrated up from a bigger river or? That looks fun I dream of them been in our small creeks.

[@absoluteunitmedia]

These are all stocked fish I believe but I’ve definitely found unstocked creeks where they are naturally reproducing

[@reelguysfishing]

Not going to ask "where", but is this a creek flowing into a lake or are these muskie coming up out of one of the big rivers? Looking to add muskie to my skill set this year and trying to learn about their habitats.

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Something like that…But there are much better creeks that I fish that just have musky in them without being connected to anything bigger…just harder to fish without a kayak or boat

[@zebra3738]

what leader for small jerks?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

I’m using 80 lb fluoro

[@christophershelton1735]

Sweet

[@TheMradampturner]

Been catching them at night recently

[@rogerpatton2242]

How many muskies are in that little hole?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

Quite a few in and out I imagine

[@collieer]

What line and rod strength for the lighter jerkbaits?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

It’s just my bass/walleye/pike setup. Medium power rod, 20 lb braid, 80 lb fluoro leader

[@collieer]

@@absoluteunitmedia okay thank you. Should I worry about the hooks? I have plenty of x raps and husky jerks

[@marksauer7163]

what size leader and mainline do you use?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

20 lb Cortland master braid to an 80 lb fluoro leader via slim beauty knot….This is really just my bass/pike/walleye setup

[@Lma1974]

Where is this?

[@adamlistopad8153]

Lol the most public PA spot 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@austinsummers4232]

Unfortunately that’s how most people get their first one. We have a spot here in pa that we call the virgin hole. Cause everyone goes there for their first one.

[@northernirishviking7283]

Can those stocked fish still breed or are they triploids?

[@absoluteunitmedia]

It’s not that they can’t physically breed, it’s the thick algae from farm runoff that suffocates the eggs. This is a problem for musky but not pike since pike eggs stick to vegetation above the ground, musky just leave their eggs scattered on the bottom

[@northernirishviking7283]

Thanks for the reply, good luck
