#1 Musky bait of all time.........Crawler Harness!

Took 2 in 30 minutes today going 1.5 mph while dragging harnesses for walleyes. First one was about 40", no big deal, no pic. Second one was a whole different animal. Not a 50" fish, but I am guessing 46"-47". No tape measure big enough. No net big enough. Hand landed both fish. No cuts on me or fish. Both fish very healthy. The big one was incredibly thick.

Here's the bigger fish of the two.

Hooked both of them the same way - back hook, right in the corner of the jaw.

I tie my harnesses with 20# test.

No I would say about 10:00-11:00 am or so. They were within a hundred yards of each other.

:lol:lol !!! That's musky fishing. Cast for days and then go walleye fish and grumble because now you have a 25# fish on and it's gonna be a while before you get him in. Oh and then the buddy says, uh - that things not gonna fit in our net.... One nice thing about grabbing them though, they don't get chewed up in the net. If you have the stones to do it and the hooks are in a safe place, it's easy on the fish.
