We go about this all wrong

Why waste all your time throwing back straining heavy lures all day just to see a couple of follows. Grab a lightweight spinning rod and throw a beetle spin. A few days before muskie opener my friend had one that was at least 45" before it snapped his line. I've also to couple of other crappie fisherman who've had 'skies on their lines w/ beetle spins. If we could only figure out way to properly rig beetle spins on our muskie setups.

There's no justice in muskie fishing.

I had one a Metro Lake follow up a beetle spin 3 different times about a month before the opener, funny thing is I was actually doing 8's trying to get her go. That would have a blast on light tackle, may have turned into an unfortunate event to with line snapping and a lure in her mouth. I'll tell though it was nice to get the juices going that early.

LOL, I found myself doing figure 8's with about everything prior to opener. It's a tough habit to break!

My uncle had a buddy who was fishing on Mille Lacs and was experiencing this Beetle Spin phenomenon. They were catching muskies on beetle spins...might have to give this a try sometime!
