I had a huge Musky (25-30lb or bigger)come out from under a bush in the water right at the boat. I drop the lure down and he hit the steel leader instead of the lure. I didn't know he hit just the leader and then he took off like a freight train.... I pulled back to set the hook and I could feel the steel cable sliding thru the teeth of the fish.. Then it just popped out. No hooks in the fish at all.. Look at the steel leader, it ripped the plastic coating in shreds and is all twisted up...

Cant use that one again.. Ended up getting some sunnfish, perch and a nice 16" smallmouth.... Threw everything back..

I wasn't gonna go fishing today but left the house around 10:30, fished till around 4:30. I thought I was on the program Deadliest Catch today... I was bouncing in the waves all day and many came over the front as it slammed down.... I am heading to Minnesota in the morning for a week of fishing... see ya all when I get back...
