The prize? A day on the water for 2 anglers in Oneida county with Keith Worrall chasing small lake muskies, two night's stay at Worrall's Hideout, six new muskie lures including a new Wabull, a new Undertaker, and a new Slammer Drop Belly, and a guaranteed kick fanny meal in the morning and evening.

The contest??
Find an object on MuskieFIRST.

The PROBLEM???
The Riddler. I am demented. Ask Shep.

The DEAL??
I add clues at random to this thread, and you try to guess the item. First to correctly identify the item and it's actual location wins.

GO FOR IT!!!

Clue one:
I am not so obvious that you would find me with one clue, but am right there onsite, darned near in front of you. Look as you will, look as you might, I am soooooo cool, I am really a sight!! I am not old, nor am I new, so now you have it, the first directive, the first clue!!

Todd,

Yup, had my .308 BAR for 4 years now. 13 shots, and 11 deer so far. Love the Nikon scope, too. Before that, I used a now retired pre-64 .308 Model 100 Winchester. That gun took a lot of deer also. Got to be too valuable to keep hunting with it, so I retired it the year I bought the new Browning.

Didn't Kirby always carry the BAR?




A scope is a sight. and it was pretty coool. and it is not a new gun, and it's not an old gun. You need the pic link?

Easy now searchers, show me your reason, detect what i hide, the pathway, the season. I will not lead you directly to the prize as you seek, I might take you to other things that will get you there is a few weeks. Perhaps you will hit it, the nail on the head, but only if you think hard about where you are led!

The object I describe might not be the final one that you seek, it might just lead you along the way, the 'path' so to speak. It IS a true object, not one of living form, and you won't find it with clues that say 'no, cold, or yes warm'. Seek from the clues, directly they point, to the item you need to win the night at Worrall's joint.

I say it's a link to another mediafirst site. Since it's the winter season, I say icefishingfirst.com

from there we need to search for something.......

GregM has the idea, he is definitly on the scent, but he isn't directed well as to where the item went. I am what I am, an ITEM, nothing more, I am something one finds in Muskie, not Ice lore.

The path is the key, another word NAMES me, one that is what the key word comes after, those that fly know that if it's off, it's a disaster!! Remember, the thing you seek is a portion, not the actual prize, that comes after MUCH more distortion!!

Maybe this Landing Mishap is what your looking for. Sorry Ranger for having to bring up painfull memories.

Jim

I posted this tale of pain and woe and danger (and a yippee 3 fish day!) last summer. I bring it up again because it relats to the thread on hand-landing muskies.)

Two days ago I was fishing on my favorite remote musky waters in my 14' tiller drive boat. I was on a 300 acre flooded strip mine with a ton of standing timber, when I found myself in deep trouble.

I was using needlenose pliers to boatside release a lightly hooked 36-38" ski when the fish thrashed wildly and I suddenly found myself also hooked, badly, on the rear of a Poes Jackpot. One hook was buried to the shank over the lowest knuckle of my trigger finger. The hook tip was protruding almost 2" from where the hook entered the back of my hand. The fish started up again, and once the fish stopped thrashing, I finished unhooking the fish (somehow I never dropped the pliers!) and leaned back to take stock of my situation.

There was one other guy on the water, about 300 yards from me, and I thought maybe I should get help. I started the motor and began threading my way through the standing timber toward the other fisherman. At one point I put the motor in neutral and tried to pull the hook out, but it was too painful and the hook wouldn't budge. So I resumed my slow troll toward the other guy, again, threading my way through the trees. I suddenly began sweating, became light headed and I thought to myslef, "Jeeze, am I going to pass out?"

I woke up when I ran right smack into a tree trunk. I can recall the BOOM! sound very clearly. When I came to I was hanging over the right side of the boat, my head was in the water and I was dragging my right arm and hooked hand in the water. I think I was sliding over the side of the boat at the moment I hit the tree, but I can't recall for sure. The boat's impact may have thrown me forward and into the water, too. I didn't inhale any water but my head was all wet. I noticed I had traveled about 50 yards since I passed out, I was much closer to the other guy. I went a surprisingly long distance before I hit something, though I may have bounced off some trees before I woke up.

Passing out was the most dangerours part, by far, of my experience. Had I fallen in the water, had the lure hooked onto a passing tree trunk, had the lure hooked into my leg in the water, etc., I would have been in real bad trouble. Maybe/probably drowned. I should have put my life jacket on ASAP after releasing the fish.

I got close enough to call out to the other fisherman and he came over to help me. The first thing he did was cut the split ring so I was no longer dangling the entire lure from my hand. Looking back, I was too shocky to realize I needed to cut the hook away from the lure - I had been dangling the lure right along, even pull started the motor and shifted gears with that hand! Stowed away the trolling motor, too. Anyway, my new friend, Mike, followed me to the little landing and helped me load up the boat. I did the 30 minute drive to the hospital where it was decided that I was one of the worst hooked people they had ever encountered. They tried a lot of tools that were on hand, then gave up and sent an orderly to open up the maintence shed for the 2' bolt cutters. The ER doc had no trouble cutting the 3X hook with those. They gave me a ton of antibiotics and when I arrived home I ate a double dose of pain meds I had on hand. Called in sick the next day, hand swollen and throbbing. Today it's feeling much better, swelling is down and looks like I suffered no damage to nerves or tendons.

I had the presence of mind to take my 35mm camera into the hospital with me so there's a visual record of that part of the deal. My wife says she got a great shot of the doctor using the big bolt cutters to finally cut the hook. I'll post some pics in a few days.

A pretty close call, wouldn't you say? Today I'm buying new LONG-ASS needlenose pliers and some really good bolt cutters. Maybe some welding gloves, too. I'm going back to netting all my bigger fish and removing the hooks while the fish is in the laying in the net on the bottom of the boat. Screw the boatside release technique I've been trying to master. (Sorry, Jason, I tried.)

You folks who hold up big muskies with the lures still in the fish's mouth should take heed of my experience. Can you imagine a big fish slapping you in the face or chest or neck with a Poes Giant Jackpot, Believer or Suick? I sure as $hit can.

By the way, that was the third fish of the outing! I hope to get back as soon as I can handle a rod again, maybe day after tomorrow. [:bigsmile:]

What do you think of my close call? I used to think I was pretty careful while fishing alone all the time, but I'm going to be changing my ways a bit.

I told you the PATH is the key that you need, no answer just slapped up will do a thing (even if you plead!) The term BEFORE the key, THAT's what you seek, now think about TWO words, I need this to be tweaked!!

Find that term, and half will get you there, an OBJECT I said; something you can pick up and throw---
through the air!!

Find that and then nail it, the object I mean, and you will win a MuskieFIRST hat, to cover your bean. This clue and the object will lead you along; to the place we must next stop, it cannot be wrong!

If the GLIDE path is off, it would be a disaster!

Glide bait!

hehehe I still got it! Thought of this today while on the road. When I got home, I see the Riddler gave another clue, and that cinched it for me!

Shep my man, you had the plan!! You had the clues, and you paid your dues, now you guessed Glide Path, then Glide Bait, so NOW you win a hat, no bull, but WAIT!!

There's MORE!!
A glide bait we seek, yes, a glide bait unique, it is one of a kind, one of a supply many times nine. You cannot guess the brand, that will not play. You must select the bait, it's LOCATION, I say. Search as you will, search as you might, remember sometimes my objects hide in plain sight!

I am a bait, that much is true, but just guessing the brand will do nothing for you. I must be found, and my location be shown, before a MuskieFIRST coffee mug becomes something you own!

So do not guess a bait name, I will not say sure, just find me and post me, and the mug, dear hunter, is yours!

Pikiespawn. The lures pictured are from a company called TRUEGLIDE. They mostly make glide baits,but also make some real nice topwaters. They are hard to find right now,I've got some to test this last season and they worked great. I also like HR'S and I would say that they up there with HR's.
I believe that they will be out this year late summer. They want to make sure all of the bugs are worked out before selling them. Here are some pics of the others that I got to test.

The glide path leads through Jomusky's basement baits thread -->http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/thread-view.asp?threadid=13857

Following the glide path leads to Jo's list of 9 creator's of one of a kind lures. Is this the object we seek?

Mr Pike,
This is a scavenger hunt, requiring many objects to be found to arrive at the end goal. Sometimes, the end goal is figured out VERY early, which is cool.Anyone can guess at what it is I am after in the final analysis anytime, but only a direct exactly accurate answer will get a winner the prize. Another clue:

One of the posts above is pretty good, the idea is correct and the bait's made of wood, but find the right one to win the mug, and send us along on our search!!

Being from WV I can say there are many fine baitmakers here. As far as quality, action, and his true to life artwork, hard to beat a Hughes River. I walked in to Reeses Country Store and about lost it. There were a few hundred Hr's hangin there and I had to pick just 3.

Another personal favorite of mine is the Dead Head. This bait floats at rest and is very close to neutrally buoyant. It has alot of belly roll and flash. I know of a 45# fish that was caught on one. Price is very reasonable.

Undertakers, get one and learn it....Fish will go out of their way to eat these at times. A good way to make your boat partner look like a rookie.

I don't really have a favorite, they all seem to work at different times. Since all gliders get their action from the operator, spending lots of time with one particular bait is most important

I like this pattern too

Here is a shot in the dark...

Is it the new Wabull, new Undertaker, new Slammer Drop Belly?

Is it The prize? A day on the water for 2 anglers in Oneida county with Keith Worrall chasing small lake muskies, two night's stay at Worrall's Hideout, six new muskie lures including a new Wabull, a new Undertaker, and a new Slammer Drop Belly, and a guaranteed kick fanny meal in the morning and evening.

Is it this Thread?

Gregg had a 36" make a pass at my glide bait this morning and turn away, I twitched the bait just a little bit and then it turned back and hit it. I set the hook when it had it in its mouth (I never felt it until I set the hook. Sometimes these fish just drive ya nuts. I will try to attach a picture, never did it before.

AHHH Mr dpratt, a cup you have won, it was picture number two, not three, not one! Good piece of tracking! Now let's see what you'll do, with another in a line leading to the prize, another clue!! This one will get a MuskieFIRST T Shirt, a great prize, so pick very carefully, very EXACTLY!!! ___ONE___ guess at a time, be crafty, be wise.

I am what I am, and I am what I'll be, I am related to the Wabull but so very hard to see. It is not very easy to see me, oh NO, and for many many reasons only the riddler might know.

You guys are going to freak out when you find out what the Riddler is babbling about.....I know, you see. I know what the final object is you need to find. The guy's a freak. He's also my Dad.

I can help.

Don't look at the thing he says, look instead at what he doesn't. The Riddler is not well balanced, so he is always twisting things up. How bad was the last item?? dpratt figured it out, but geeeeeeezzzze.

To add to Doug's excellent commentary,here's the actual mechainics behind the 8 with all the fun stuff removed.

1) How fast do you reel? Let's say you are working a bucktail or spinnerbiat. You are reeling about 4 to 5 MPH most of the time or slower. A muskie is capable of speeds in the mid-thirties, so you CANNOT take a lure away form a fish on attack if it wants it.
2) How long is the lure in the water? With the lures described, about 30 to 45 seconds.
3) How does a Muskie 'find' your lure? The bait hits the water, and sound and vibration move out from the impact point at 16 football fields per second. Those and associated stimuli strike the muskie, and if all is well, the fish turns toward your presentation. How? The sound/vibration/pressurewave/whatever move out from the bait in a 360 degree circle to near infinity. As the leading edge of the that 'globe' strikes the fish, it will instinctively turn to that direction, just like you would in our environmemt. Another instictive mechanism 'decides' whether the bait is close enough for the fish to pursue without burning more energy that the capture would be worth. Assuming that and other reactions to your stimulous are positive, the fish kicks toward your lure. The speed at which this happens has more variables atached to it than are of import, suffice to say the level of response to the stimulous IS variable.
4) The fish moves to intersect the lure and tries to visually locate the bait. In many waters, visibility is less than 5'. The Muskie, by virtue of poor visibility in the water and the fact they are pretty badly nearsighted has to get pretty close to get the visual stimulous, and the lure needs to have good enough contrast to allow the fish to seperate it from the background. If indeed this clicks and the overall response is strong enough, then the fish takes an attack vector, and moves in for the kill. If the fish can't find the lure visually, or isn't in a physical 'state' for optimal response to the stimuli, you get a follow.

All of this has to happen in about 30 to 45 seconds.

The figure 8 accomplishes two things. It keeps the lure in the water longer, allowing a fish that is on it's way from a half cast away to get there. Another function has to do with the Muskie's vision.

Muskies don't see as we do. The position of their eyes is totally different. We are primary predators, like it or not. Our eyes are positioned in the front. As a result, we see in 'stereo' out to the very side or perepiheral vision. The Muskie's eyes are positioned top and out to the sides, so the stereo vision in limited to a set of opposing triangles. The field of vision favors upward and directly forward, causing the fish to have to position itself corectly to the presentation to get the bait on the vision 'screen'. Imagine drawing a line from the fish's eyes from the top of the fish (see atachment) across the nose. Where those lines intersect the Muskie BEGINS to see the lure with good depth perception. Any closer, the fish may not see it at all, and gets no visual stimulous. Outside the triangle, the fish sees as you would with one eye closed. Try figuruing out distance to an object with one eye covered, while it is moving at 4 MPH and you are moving too.

The figure 8 moves the lure away from and across the stereoscopic field of vision 4 times, out on the outer circles, and in the inner circles of the 8. If the fish is glued RIGHT on the bait, one needs to get it a bit more out in front, and cross the visual field. If, again, the response is strong enough, you will get the desired hit.

If not, you get a follow, and the fish moves on.

Do I figure 8 every cast? No. I am way too impatient. I look WAY behind the bait looking for a change in the water color or movement, and figure 8 if I think a fish is on it's way. If I get a follow, I figure 8. Otherwise, I do a very long L. I can't help myself. Casting again just makes me feel so good!!

My 2 cents!

By the way, the bigger the fish, the bigger the triangles described. The fish I used was a 42" pike.

Could this be it?

Subject : RE: Question of seeing color
Posted : 2004-01-14 11:01 AM
Post #93491 - In reply to #93468

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep in mind our lure colors are paint. Green is a combination of blue and yellow. Question is, was the base paint used to create the green blue, or yellow? The blue based paint will show as a grey most of the time, where the yellow based paint will be a brighter grey to a bit yellow or even a dirty white if there is enough light. Purple is blue and red. Red based, it's nealy black under most conditions.If the purple is 'hazed' over a white background, it provides a shadow contrast.Blue based, it is still nearly black much of the time.

Also keep in mind that water rapidly removes the longer wavelengths of light (reds), and that process is amplified by particulate. It is true that the literature supports fish in more turbid waters leaning toward the longer wavelenghts, but the actual COLOR is gone pretty quicky. Take a look at a Coke can in 10' in clear, calm water. It will be nealry black where the red used to be. Add to that the reflected light off the surface early and late in the day, wave action breaking up penetration, and other factors, and one begins to realize it isn't real bright in 8' of water at 4PM. Not alot of light means not alot of color.

I have always preached contrast as key. I might be all wet, but I believe that in order for the fish to use sight as a component of the strike response mechanism, the fish needs to be able to clearly seperate the bait from the background against which it is viewed at the point of attack. Dark backgound, light colors. Light background, dark colors. When in question, fish with a black lure.

O.k....so hues that are more toward the blue end of the spectrum are harder to detect, as per the website

As a copy and paste here:

"Muskies, like most freshwater fishes have cone cells in their retinas, and hence have color vision. However, because of the light transmission properties of freshwater, the dominant lighting in their environment is dominated by longer wavelengths of light, typically in the green to red region of the spectrum. At twilight, the shortwave portions of the spectrum in water may be even further reduced.

Muskie cone cells are therefore characterized by an absence of blue-sensitive pigments. Typically there are two types of cone cells, single cones with a green-sensitive pigment (500-540 nm wavelength peak absorption) and double cones which may have a single red-sensitive pigment at > 600 nm, or two pigments, one at > 600 nm sensitivity and the other at 520-600nm.

So, muskies can see colors, but not into the blue end of the spectrum (blues and purples probably appear as grey to them)." (from the ERC website above)

So...then could it be that when fishing cisco based waters, blues and purples are good because they mimic (in the view of a muskie) the basic color of cisco and whitefish as grey? Purple has been a great color for me, as has been green.

On the other edge of the idea, then, how can green be good in weedy conditions, where the color itself is dampened by the water, thus making the lure blend in more?

ideas?

Jason, I am curious of your opinion here as well...

I am part of the equasion and and very hard to see, even though every one of you has looked right at me!

Without me the Wabull item would not be what it is, and the all the previous clues would not work, this would fizz.

My computer monitor looking at the MuskieFirst website and here's the logic...

1. I am what I am, and I am what I'll be, I am related to the Wabull but so very hard to see. It is not very easy to see me, oh NO, and for many many reasons only the riddler might know.

One reads the web pages, but doesn't look at the monitor.

2. Got to be good lookin 'cause she's so hard to see..... or "Come Together"

MuskieFirst and my monitor brings the muskie community together

3. I am not what you think, yet you see me so clear, I am invisible to most of you I fear!

Again the web site viewed through my monitor

4. Come on, take a chance, figure it out, two could. VERY close to the Prize we are, if you tried, maybe you would. The item we seek contains the item, the ONE: To get you out fishing with Keith Worrall, my son!

The web site contains the item we seek.

I will not accept a guess,you must describe, you must know, the WHY you selected me, to make this one go.....

Everyone of us has looked right at the computer monitor and this site.

Okay, since I'm likely wrong again...how much is a T Shirt and where do I send the money...

I am probably wrong here but the statement "I am part of the equasion and and very hard to see, even though every one of you has looked right at me!" suggests to me that the riddler is looking for the term HTML. HTML is used to build the layout of the pages, yet without viewing the source we wouldn't see it.

Some of the Riddler's other comments could also suggest the Internet as well.

Just a guess.

Sworrall's team name for the match contest was Walking Bulls. Related to "ONE" of the Wabull's is Keith Worrall. The "ONE" that we seek is the trip with Keith. The link to the Sabaskong video is on the "RIGHT" side of the screen. When you play the video, Keith is "hard to see" but is also located to the "RIGHT" side of the video frame and in a slightly darker light.

Is it the Video link to the Sabaskong Outing??

It's this thread. It deals with the wabull. The answer is defintely hard to see, in fact I think I'm blind. This thread is something we all see and is also directly related to the final goal or the one we seek.

Theedz, you are close, I am there in that clip, but I am not a living thing, I am an object, and you're whipped? Watch the clip again, and find a shot of me, one might say one loses me like the forest for the trees.

A fluorocarbon leader attached to the buzzbait. Invisible becuase of its physical properties and hard to see because it blends in with the net.

I'm guessing its the boat windsheild. You can see right through it and you see a forest on the other side.

my guess would be your (poleroid) glasses ? u can see tru them, when looking thru them u see a different light.

or ur bow mount trolling motor (ap) earlier u said "those that fly know that if it's off, it's a disaster!! " that could mean motor or ap(auto pilot)

How about that Violent Strike double bladed prototype Monster Buzzbait.

It is not a living thing, only an object and you "whip" it when you cast it out. You lose it like the forest for the trees because it is tangled in the net and the main focus is the fish.

I'll take a guess. It is Steve’s Patriot boat. Earlier, it was stated that we have all seen it but it is hard to see. It is in the video and you can see a little of it in his Avatar which displays on all of his posts.

Well I'm gonna guess that it's either the Musky Silhouette on the MF sweatshirt Steve's wearing or it's his wedding ring.

Here's my connection...
We have all seen the silhouette, darned near right in front of us.

or
The ONE thing - a reference to LOTR. Whipped? Well we are all witnessed his somewhat recent wedding (at least indirectly through this site). The ring is hard to see in the clip.

One of you has it but I SAID I need the shot!! A t shirt is awating, show me the shot, the only one I will accept, it is really cool, really HOT! Find this shot and the shirt is for you, then we are on to a BIG prize or two!

Hint:
I am alone, all alone in the shot, with a real pretty vista but no people, yep, NOT!!

Muskiehead WINS the T-Shirt!! The picture of me I wanted to see was the 2050 on the hill, pretty! The message board page has the classifieds, yes? It was the Riddler's boat for sale, then the picture you guessed. I even updated the ad for you, a couple times Riddler did so to maintain that clue!

NOW FOR THE big ONE, the prize that you seek, we try to get this found in less than a week!

Clue?
Now that you found the vessle, you bet, into which the fish came on the Wabull with no net; I am not the net, nor the rod, nor the lure, I am what I am, so perfect and so incredibly pure! Looking for concepts or ideas or what not, I could be an object, like a pan or a pot. The Riddler says maybe, then again, maybe not!!

I only have 4 HRs Todd, I think you have me beat!

To fully describe this sucker hit:

SWorrall gets a really deep flasher follow.
The rod tip starts bouncing on the rod in the holder (sucker rod).
I say "I think there is a fish on the sucker"
Steve: "why you say that?"
Me: "Cause the sucker just jumped out of the water.....and look, there's a nice fish behind it"
The sucker tears ass across the surface about 10ft, muskie hauling to keep up. Sucker takes to the air again, muskie rolls on it, commotion on the surface....sucker/muskie now about 15ft away, can just see them rolling on around after each other.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Me: "Ya think the skie got him?"
Sworrall: "I think so"
Hookset, 40incher in the boat, and I watch the sucker swim off peacefully!
Howie rig goes 2 for 2 on the day, didnt set the hook all that hard, both fish pinned in the corner of the mouth, both suckers survived to tell the tale, one swam off into sucker retirement, one got re-used, then released.

Good day and a great weekend! Thanks again Sue and Steve! And that boat is gonna be one bad b!tch!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was a cool fish, and a very memorable hook-up. I got as much of a charge out of the fish you got in Treacherous Bay an hour later. Hardly any indication anything was wrong at all, just alittle bouncing on the rod tip. Slamr says, "There is a fish on that sucker." seconds later, just a click, click, click...BOOM he sets the hook, and the fish was pinned up.

One thing I forgot to mention:

We didn't have a net. I had sent a Frabill home with esox69 the weekend before, and totally forgot to check the boat for my extra. Slamr had no problem landing the fish he got with only one treble, but I did a quick guestimate and LONG nose pliers release on mine to avoid the three sets of big trebles on the Wabull. Absolutely SURE on the 35, but the 43 might have been 42.5, or 43.5. It was heavy, had a big head, and good bulk. I guess it really doesn't matter much, I was a happy camper!



Slamr, any time. I had a great day out there, and the world's problems were solved with a suggested enema and a haircut, nothing better than that!!

When I am looking down into the net and then back at the camera, the Mercury Pro Team hat is front and center. This was a tough one, good JOB Mauser!! Contact me via email, and we will get you out on the water up here in the great White North as soon as we can match up a couple days.

I thought the French said, "Even a blind pig finds a truffle once in a while" Oui?

BTW, Congrats to mauser! Funny how the Riddler gave out more clues to lead you all there when he knew I was nowhere near a puter! It was funny listening to him laugh at Theedz as he came up with the last couple clues! Heee Heee

Way to go Mauser.....

Gee Shep, that's kinda funny. I when I was there I was hearing the same laugh directed at you. I bet the masses here on the board have no clue how much entertainment our toils bring to the Riddler.

Bring on the next one....

Congrats Mauser. Don't know you, but as always, things work out the way the should.

Steve, send Theedz the shirt. I can't understand you, even if I get the right answer. You think, not like I thought I did.

I was like a muskie hittin' on the prop wash - just happy to be in the right place at the right(wrong?) time.
