Default Re: Finally got my first Musky

Like pretty much everyone above has covered, these fish are no joke. Targeting them in a 9ft kayak with limited space for equipment and no net is just asking for trouble. Always plan for WORST CASE SCENARIO (huge pissed off fish, deeply hooked, etc.). Unless I am targeting Bass, my net is ALWAYS in my kayak and that has helped me land, photograph and release many 35"-40" fish from my kayak without hurting me or the fish.

Hopefully you pick up a large net, a more capable kayak, and a camera mount to take pics yourself if you choose to continue targeting this awesome species.
