Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

thanks 23cardinal ---- they`re very, very light wader pants that I could easily get out of...... if I had too. I gotta wear something to keep dry in this Fall weather........ & I do get chilled now that I`m on these blood thinners & all.....

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

BEAUTIFUL MUSKY KEN!!! Way to jump back into the game in no time! AMAZING!!!:D

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

you won't sink in waders if you have a life jacket on. waders with a belt and life jacket will keep you a float...might be tough to get back in the yak though depending. there's a youtube video of a guy demonstrating it. the waders pretty much suck onto you from the water pressure and only a bit of water gets in.

Beautiful fish Ken.

Looks like you crossing out one species after another from that bucket list.

Great to see you up and about on water.

1- "10 LBS"- How do you weigh musky? I hope you don't weight them, that can kill them.

2- Do you drag these fish back to the ramp for a picture? Seems like most of your pics are from the ramp with the reeds to on your left and gravel ground.

3- Consistently fishing musky from a kayak. one of these days you may hook a Big musky and find yourself unprepared without a big enough net, and wrangling it in on a kayak, and you may kill the fish. kayaks are not meant for consistently fishing for musky.

Anyway, nice fish, just asking these questions to make sure you and others are practicing safe catch and release procedures so these fish survive. ;)

That's awesome Ken. That fish must have taken you for a ride.

I kayak with waders, too. I just don't want to shell out the money for a dry suit right now. I assume if you wear a belt around your waders and cinch down your PFD, you'll remain buoyant enough to swim with your kayak back to shore. I've never actually tried swimming in waders, though.

Well now then there......... Ahhhhhhhhh.......... yes yes....... I figured one of you "politically-correct" (uhhhhhhhhhh............ never mind) would have to show up here sooner or later.

So let`s break down your questions a bit buddy-boy shall we??......

1.) "10 LBS"- How do you weigh musky? I hope you don't weight them, that can kill them" Ken: With a scale.....how else do ya weigh a fish???

2.) "Do you drag these fish back to the ramp for a picture? Seems like most of your pics are from the ramp with the reeds to on your left and gravel ground" Ken: Well hell yea...Of course I do. In my net. Never had any fish die on me yet..... well........ other then the ones that met my Knife that is.

3.) "Consistently fishing musky from a kayak. one of these days you may hook a Big musky and find yourself unprepared without a big enough net, and wrangling it in on a kayak, and you may kill the fish. kayaks are not meant for consistently fishing for musky" Ken: Strange...... I didn`t see any WARNING! THIS KAYAK IS NOT MADE FOR MUSKY FISHING!!! THIS MEANS YOU KEN BEAM!!!!..... You: "One of these days you may hook a Big musky and find yourself unprepared without a big enough net, and wrangling it in on a kayak, and you may kill the fish" -- Ken: I`ll keep that in mind friend..... but since picking up a boat trailer is no longer an option, because of my situation, the `Yak is my only option.

4.) "just asking these questions to make sure you and others are practicing safe catch and release procedures so these fish survive" Ken: Are you like the NJ Musky Police????????????????..........

*** Now........ let`s get a few things straight my politically-correct-fishing-friend,.........

#1 - ANY man or woman can do whatever they want to do with any god damn fish they catch!.....period.It`s none of your business at all. If they want to practice Catch-n-Release then so be it...... On the other hand, if they want to practice Catch-n-Eat well hell, that`s their business as well, and their right to do so........Mind your own business.

#2 - For what it`s worth, (Though I don`t need to justify anything to you)ALL of the Pike & Muskies I catch go back in the "pond" and swim away just fine.......

#3 - So spare me your lessons & idles threats friend......... At 53 I don`t need or take anyone`s bullshit.........at all.

Hey thanks Andre!

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???

people get butt hurt too easily...

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

3/4 butt hurt.
Edit u can't see it on the post, but look at his 4 posts. 3 of them are chastising members for their habits.

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

Well if anyone new to musky sees this they really should understand the task at hand from a kayak and know the equipment they should have, I will say that.

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

Good point...

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

Mornin` boys............ Hey I posted this hoping you all would really enjoy the kayak gig & all.........

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....................sort of controversial eh??

HaHa!~

Well.......... if you boys think fishin` for Muskies in a `Yak is a tough game,......

You`re right!

Wouldn`t recommend a novice `Yak fisherman/lady to have a go at this alone.....

And if ya think me chasin` `em in a `Yak is a tad risky,.....

Wait till you watch the friggin` Go PRO Video of me catching that beast!!!!

Now that definitely adds another very tough element to the puzzle,.........Catch a Musky in a `Yak, turn the Go PRO on & land the friggin` monster!

AND........ I have a BIG surprise coming for you gang next month........

Soooooooooo stay tuned & keep an eye out............

Re: Whoooooah! What do we got here boys??? Huh???
 

This....... I knew it, Ken finally landed a whale on 6lbs test line. :D
