The Musky Who Wouldn't Let the Bait Get Away

In the world of musky fishing, there are moments that anglers cherish forever—those heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled instances that make the hours of casting worthwhile. This past summer's fishing expedition was no exception, as we pulled up to a new spot with high hopes and a shared excitement for what the spot might bring. From previous experience, we knew this rock complex was a big fish spot.

Jeremy, a seasoned angler with an uncanny knack for landing big catches, wasted no time. With his favorite musky lure in hand, the musky frenzy ic9, he expertly placed his second cast towards the shallow rock shelf. During the retrieval, the lure raced through the water, and a big musky made its move. The initial strike missed the bait, leaving us momentarily disheartened. Luckily for us, the musky would not let his bait get away.

About ten feet from the boat the musky appeared out of no where and lunged to eat its prey. Jeremy set the hook and it was a heart-stopping moment as we watched the massive predator make sweeping headshakes as he fought it around the boat.

Spencer is always quick with the net and he effortlessly scooped the beast into the bag and the celebrations began.
