Setting the hook on a musky
Question
I found a area with plenty of musky and used 4" to 6" chubs for bait with a bobber.I have went through dozens and dozens and could never actually land the fish.They always seem to get off the hook every time.Please Advise!!!!!!

Ok seriously...I would try suckers over chubs....a #2 or 4 treble just under the skin by the dorsal should suffice, hang it under a bobber just big enough to keep floating most of the time. Sharpen the hook as sharp as possible, it should be needle sharp. Get a large net, long needle nose pliers, hook cutter(good set of side cutters), and a good camera. Make sure you let them go after your fun with them...that way they can grow larger and be there for you and someone else to catch next time.
