  • An action packed morning fishing a Whopper Plopper for spillway muskie and pike, as well as a couple bonus smallmouth bass! The muskie were active on this trip and crushing topwater! Big thanks to ‪@JaggedToothTackle‬ for being my net/camera man half the morning, even after I muskie slapped him!

    I am envious of the smaller tackle box… I just have no discipline to limit myself to less than 400 lures…

    • @MrSweetloustyles
      @MrSweetloustyles Před 2 lety +61

      Same! But I only end up using 3 the entire day lol

      @CatchReleaseRepeat Před 2 lety +18

      Ha! So true. The burden of being a fisherman in these excessive modern times! Occasionally I do go out with a small handful of lures and one rod and it's a great feeling. Even though it's kind of like leaving the house without your cell phone, keys, wallet and clothes all at the same time!

      lol When I go kayak fishing I have at least 2- 3600 Plano boxes. Yesterday I had those and red worms and night crawlers because last time I wish I had brought worms. They all paid off

    The best catch was your friend getting your lure!! I lost the top 3 or 4 sections of my fishing pole once in a huge reservoir…my uncle put on a treble hook and a lead weight and actually managed to get it back off the bottom somehow!! That was 25+ years ago, I’ll never forget it. 1 in a million cast!!

    Looking at the damage on each of those muskies you can tell there's competition for the spots and catches.

    • @FireoftheGreeks
      @FireoftheGreeks Před 2 lety +7

      Was wondering if they were nesting / breeding after seeing all the tattered tails and damage myself.

    • @ndyakangler
      @ndyakangler  Před 2 lety +57

      Those were spawn wounds, they get pretty aggressive with their mates. We had a late spring this year, usually by mid summer they’re starting to heal up.

    • @paullevine1813
      @paullevine1813 Před 2 lety +5

      Yes he was & anytime you can get a lure that cost that much back it's a good day . if i were Jacob i would have taken matt up on the use of his back up Whopper Plopper !!! . Hey also sore ankles would be worth it to nail the Muskies Matt was catching. I would be buying Jacob a cold beer for that retrieve for sure.

Even though i've only had a 30 second fight with it hes the coolest Muskee I know. Im just envious on how easy you make it seem!

We have Tiger Muskie here in MD but it's pretty rare to catch them . I've only caught one & it was in Triadelphia Reservoir . Fish on !!!

    That looks like a pretty sweet place to fish. I only have one spillway within a reasonable driving distance (less than an hour), and it's probably half that size. Very overfished though, there's always a crowd there, especially at any time I'd get to fish it, like a weekend.
