Hard Fighters of Fresh Water
Muskeuunge and Pike
ARTICLE II

muskellunge comes in the front rank
as a fighting fool.
His Sons Experience
1t was only recently my young son
was casting along the edge of a weed
bed. He got backlash, worked out
the tangle, started to reel in-and
BAM,l!
That's a grass-pike for you, and
I've seen muskies do the same thing.
Seldom, indeed, does a bass do that.
It's an advantage that the poor
caster has with 'lunge" and pike
fishing, however
I'm not going to tell you how to
catch muskellunge. 1 only suggest
that you include in your "lunge"
tackle a brace or so of phantom min
nows rugged with bronze snelled
hooks.
/ know the treble-hook feathered
trolling spoon is the accepted lure,
both by the fish and the fisherman,
but, in my opinion, the phantom Is
the female of the species" A TWEEN
ty-flve-pound line will hold a seventy
five-pound fish. SO will a fifteen-pound
line, If you don't try to "hoss" EN-.
Keep Slack Out Of Line
When a "lunge" of size decides to
rush after being hooked, it's up to you
to keep slack out Of the line. That's
your first and last business. The rest
Of the battle takes care Of itself.
Musky fishing reminds me some
what Of grizzly hunting. You start
out fishing for sinners and your ulti-
mate ambition is muskellunge-wh
you finally realize.
A grizzly has an independent air
about him-soPt Of If you want to
know who runs things around this
joint commence something. That's
the way with lunge.
In his water he's boss and when
he gets afoul of a flock of gang

you how ne conducts affairs in his

or you might snare both on the sur
face
They Are "SOud" Ivory
The thing is that a grass-pike and
a muskellunge will take a piece Of tin
or a hunk of wood trolling behind
a boat when nature should have
blessed them both with better sense.
They are boneheads Of the first
water.
A wise old bril- l know tells the
world the way to catch game fish Is
to trick 'en--to shoot 'em something
that looks good to eat fast and accu-
rate and above all to have the lure
resling back toward you when it hits
the water
This is certainly true with speckled
trout and holds in the majority Of
cases with large and small-mouth

muskellunge it doesn't mean anything
