LOL!!! I wonder if that person has ever been muskie fishing in Michigan…

I particularly like the part about the large lip grip being a good idea.

I noticed in some of those keyes outdoors videos that hammernick was using those lip grippers on every fish. Looked like an easy way for a musky to shake and rip his mouth apart

I've seen that too but am pretty sure I've read that he releases it anytime the musky starts shaking violently. It still seems like an extra step that isn't needed in the unhooking process.
