Default Re: Finally got my first Musky

Personally I wouldn't have mentioned "it died" part. Up til then it was a good story

I make it a rule not to upload pics of fish that died. First of all seeing it would make me feel like sh*t and secondly I think its bad luck. We have all been there - I've had a 18" wild brown, 21" bass and numerous large pickerel pass away on me before I stopped using barbed lures and multi treble lures. It really does make a difference. Just pinching barbs down can increases survival by half I'm willing to bet. Most pike I get on single hook buzzbaits and spinners baits. So far - knock wood - no casualities I'm aware of and thats over 300 fish last few years.
