Thank you fellas. Yeah, a decent sized muskie is fun to catch in a kayak. I've caught 2 more out of it this spring. I was in some shallow water on one of them and was able to get out of the kayak and work him. But in deeper water they're definitely a hand full try to paddle and land the fish at the same time. At least for me that is! I've spent more time on the lake in the boat this year but thinking I should take the kayak out on the river and chase some of these guys now after talking about it.
