I dont know much about muskie fishing but I have caught two of them before, both at wagon train. What I am asking is how to handle a muskie. I do know that they are very sensitive. What are some do's and dont's with muskie. From the two that I released I did notice I had to baby them more than a pike.

The help would be great I would love to go fishing for muskie again. The time I caught my two were both flukes.

My Muskie Story:

Caught my first muskie at wagon train last fall in the south east corner of the lake I was wadding out about 25 feet off shore. Caught it on a number 9 rapala floating in firetiger. He/She was 32 inches. Caught my second muskie on a huskie jerk number 12 in siver-blue. He/She was 34-3/4inches and was caught on the east shore about mid way up.

P.S. I fished the spill-way at wagon train a lot last fall and they need to let you take the muskie back into the lake. Ever time I went down to the spill-way there were at least 3 muskie swimming around. Not giants but a muskie is a muskie. Just to let you know I have no thought of keeping a muskie.
