Live Target

A nice muskie just took my brand new 3 5/8 deep perch. first time using it. my net was too small and it was jumping like a demon. bummer.

I like these lures but i hate loosing them.

I tried one or two of them. They have awesome paint jobs, but didn't seem to produce as well as other cranks for some reason. Seemed to get hung worse too.

I always lose my most expensive lures. I can fish all day with the cheap ones.

It's been raining for 24 hours where I am camping so I just went to the dock to fish my new live target 2 5/8 black frog. I cast about 25 times and finally what I thought was a decent large mouth jumped at it but didn't take it. About 15 more casts it took it and I set the hook. I was fighting it pretty good and then it felt like I was stuck on a rock, the fish pulled so hard. I still did not realize it was a muskie and that is where I made my mistake. It then jumped and I tried to ease up but he snapped my 20 lbs. line. Damn. I had him on for about a minute and should have let him run. I love love target lures but am losing them to unforeseen muskies when fishing for bass. Damn.
