| when I got done with a couple quick pics after unhooking and started putting my tackle back together, I found that my mangled bootail was missing one of the front trebles. It was a suicide hit from this fish, coming from below, behind, and slightly to the right of the bait, accelerating and gulping the bait, then turning away, resulting in a near perfect hookup for me, evidently not quite so good for the fish. I am guessing I broke the hook off myself during unhooking, though a straightened back treble may have implicated the fish itself, during the fight.

| Back in KY now. Rough weather mix up there this summer for you guys!
Jay Lip ripper, I was just noting that I didn't realize that a hook point was broken
off during the process of hooking and releasing this fish, and I don't know what
happened to it. Fish was back in the drink before I discovered it was gone, very possibly with a hook point in him, pointed who knows where? |

Cool pics FSF, it is very cool what these fish can and will do. I guess that’s why we get so obsessed with them.
Nail A Pig!

Don't worry, FSF knows how to handle a fish. He wouldn't abuse a muskie any more than he'd abuse me....well, OK, then maybe he'd make fun of the thing. |
