That is some dramatic stuff! A little too dramatic, that's some serious passion right there..

He's right on the money when he say, "it's such a mean, vicious bite that comes out of nowhere most times."

When they hit your fly and all of the sudden you have to:

strip set the hook <- this is really hard to remember

hold onto the line tightly, but not too tightly

don't let the fish break the rod

don't break the rod on the boat

don't let any slack on

get the fish on the reel

It all happens in a few seconds and before you know what's happened the fish is gone because you didn't do something right. It's a rush to say the least. So far I haven't gotten past that point.

I think my next rod needs to be a fly rod

I have a couple of regulars that fly fish for Muskies every year. It is very visual to say the least. We haven't caught any monsters on the fly yet, but we have caught a few 30 to 35 inchers and a few Pike in that same size range. I'm not a fly expert by any means, but it's fun watching the guys that are. Can't emagine what it will be like when one of them sticks a 50 incher, but I'm sure that day will come eventually.
