i know of a couple DDD that are lost on those ski course ropes.

i agree with Duke. I think ive seen Marc Thorpe do that. Lands and unhooks the fish in the net and then measures and releases the fish from a craddle.

Hopefully we'll be there but we have to see if our towing vehicle is in good enough shape to go.

what channel is it on for the sports tier? I used to get that and most likely will next year because of the fox soccer channel and obviously this.

probably start off at campau in the morning then maybe murray at night. Then a new one on sunday

yeah, cannot wait for saturday

5.1 will work for the bucktails. Thats what I use and it is very nice for those baits. Try to get a powerhandle as that will help.. You will feel the bait more than with a 4.1 but as Will said its hard to reel at faster speeds with such a low ratio like 4.1

the 7000 with the 4.1:1 gear ratio is very nice for pulling in big bucktails because the reel does all the work for you. The power handle also helps out in reducing stress on the forearm, but the low gear ratio is the key. It is very large and can be difficult to hold so if I were you I would try ho...

No I did not see it because I dont get that channel. I guess ill have to wait for the DVD to come out.

no muskies in thornapple

that is basically what I do with most of my tools - tie a little rope to them with the other end being connected to a small caribbeaner (you can get them cheap at a lot of stores). When unhooking a fish simply attach the caribbeaner to the net so they dont fall into the water if you drop them. It ma...

How many people net every fish they hook? Im going to start trying to water release smaller fish as to put as little stress on them as possible. If im going to net a fish I will net the fish at the first chance I get. However, if I am going to water release the fish I will probably play it out a lit...

This thing is hilarious! http://www.avivafishinbuddy.com/

Will, is that reel going to be part of a raffle or an auction? Ive very interested in it because of what people are saying on muskiefirst and was looking into gettng one.

the 7000s with the 4.1:1 work great for big bucktails and other big baits but i dont like them for a lot of situations because the gear ratio is so low you have to work really hard (reel really fast) to fish a lot of baits correctly. I dont like it for anything other than cowgirls and ripping big cr...
