That's pretty cool! I actually think they did a pretty decent job handling the fish all things considered. Just goes to show you that you can't throw to big of a bait!

Wow nice fish !!! Next time when I wonder if the bait I am using is to large I will just compare it to a 19" smallmouth to see. Very Cool---Hey with a fish like that I think they did a decent job handling it---but we only saw a small clip....

Al is the man. Totally unscripted and all happened on camera, awesome.
Like I say "If you want to catch fish, fish for Bass. If you want to catch a memory, fish Muskie."
This clip proves just that.

Super cool! Now that's nature at it's finest. I watched a giant trying to eat a 25" lake trout up on Rowan Lake quite a few years ago and remember thinking - what do I have in my tackle box that can compete with that! Congrats guys!

You can't really expect to catch a muskie while smallmouth fishing. All things considered, I'd say...

Nice catch!!

I say congrats to those guys, each one of us would have done the same. This happened to my dad and I in Canada a few years ago, we were trolling and I had musky gear and my dad was trolling for walleye's using walleye cranks. Dad's shad rap was banging bottom and all of a sudden his had a hit and after a few cranks his line really started to peel. He finally got the fish up and a smallie hit his shad rap and a musky then slammed the smallie just after the smallie his the crank. It was a big smallie and a big 48 - 50 size musky. Dad had it up twice just out of reach of the net and the third time as it was coming toward the net it opened it's mouth and let the smallie go. Very cool thing to witness.

Tim,
that is so much more profound than...
well, "I liked her better for one night".
And waaaaay better than Goonies!

Seriously, well said.

Awesome! Forwarded that one to my dad.


About 6 years ago on Halloween we had a 47" fish die on us, beautiful fish so we got it mounted. Everything was normal, then this summer we were back at the taxidermist with a nice largemouth bass, and the guy says he has something for us that he's been saving. He goes back to his freezer and pulls out a 21" pike he took out of the stomach of the musky we had mounted 6 years ago, he's been saving it since then. The fish had that pike in it's stomach and hit on a 10" Suick.
