Sled caught more fish trolling with this thread than I caught all of last year.
Maybe Sled is wanting some new stuff in the recycle bin? I can hold my breath close to 2 minutes. Is that too long to have a fish out of the water?

Yes! hold your breath for two minutes after you run 400 yards as fast as you can

I didn't know Jeff was left handed. I am left handed. crap.
No worries, Todd. I am right handed. I just fish backwards. And I really need to learn how to smile for fish pictures.

| Is the Jason Hamernick boga grip style of unhooking a fish in the net exceptable or not? |

| Side shuffle instead of pivot, not side-step either, as that is cheating. Less chance of tripping and dropping a fish as well. |

Location: north central wisconsin | I prefer to twizzle my way to the other side of the boat with the fish. If done in Charlie/Merle unison with the camerman, a couple great photos can be captured, while quickly presenting the fish to all other boats/property owners on the lake.

I usually leave the plug out of the boat. That way when I land a fish I can safety bring it in the boat.
That was actually pretty funny! |

| I don`t know about traveling but I had a client spike one like a football. Apparently he saw Jimmy Houston do it on TV fishing LSC. One of the guides who does not stop his boat for fish came up with it I guess. He was so proud he knew how to release a muskie lol. |

| Instead of going through all the work of the net, photo release you could always try what I like to do..
Wait till your partners fish is boatside and ready to be netted..
Make sure to hold the extra netting so it doesn't get in the way, or catch on the hooks somehow..
Now in a quick stabbing motion poke that fish right in between the eyes with the hoop of the net..
The fish WILL freak out..
Partner will freak out more..
Alot of the time after this technique you don't even have to net, photo, or release that fish..

Location: Oconomowoc, WI | Take your time and enjoy the moment. Keep the fish's head in the water, open a beer, exchange some high fives. There's so much time, effort and money involved with getting that fish in the net, why not take some time to smell the roses?
I'm all for protecting the resource, but it's still just a fish and lucky to even get a second chance. Had they hatched 40 years ago they'd have gotten thumped immediately.
I think there are some folks on this site who think they could run 400 yds without taking a step...

Yes...I would like to see more guys use this technique. Especially in Vilas.
I like to put the boat in reverse to get water flowing through the gills faster while un-hooking. Faster revival times. And sound the horn 3 times. |

Location: oswego, il | If you don't moon walk with the fish to the bump board you have no business musky fishing.
with that said however I am going to mount one of those stair chair assists to the beam rail of my boat and travel with the fish to its needed stations that way. Might have to gear it for speed. |

| Is a drag-pulling hookset on a forty-something inch fish Just as bad as holding that fish vertical?
Just more fuel for the fire. |

I prefer to lose them at the boat. Saves all the trouble of hooks tangled in the net, slimy hands, and cameras. Added benefit is you can get right back to casting. ^^^^^^^i here ya, and its always a new personal best everytime I lose one. |

Try keeping your rod tip down and you might land a few more fish...  |

Anytime I put that one glove on I can't help but moon walk. |
