ok heres the deal. i have absolutely no muskie expirience never caught one before. I was fishing on a dock on the mississippi river when someone yelled come look at this huge carp. i walked down there and had my fishing glasses on so i could see through the water pretty good and it was no carp! it was a giant muskie. my dad had a 23 pound northern on our wall at home and it put that thing to shame. i ran up to my car and grabbed my northern fishin pole with 80 pound power pro line :) and when i got down there one of those idiots tried dropping a huge sinker and worm by it and it took off. i was shaking i was so worked up. then i saw it about 20 minutes later and staring into the water. it creeped up right in the shallows by the dock and just sat there and then kind of looked interested in my stringer with some fish on it but then swam away slowly i tossed a few lures out and tried to get its attention. i have a bunch of muskie and northern pike lures. but he didnt pay any attention to my lure. then i talked to someone that is down there frequently launching their boat and they said they have been seeing two big old muskies hanging around there all week. they said they looked like hogs but ignore everything. these are some big old river muskies and im bound and determined to catch one. so what do i do? live bait? are they mating and just ignoring my stuff? help!!! please!!!! email me at mxman237@hotmail.com please thank you
