I bet he wasn't in a good mood when you pulled him up through.

I'm sure he put up a good fight ..... under and on the ice...

Er, musky's are supposed to be fish not rats... hehe. Didja get your buckshot back?

highsparks · « **Reply #4 on:** Jan 15, 2011, 11:55 AM »

No he wasnt . I tried to step on him and unhook the jig , he went nuts . Tried biting my boot , my leg , my hand . Knocked over my heater , splashed water all over my flasher and shack . I finally pinned him down with a skimmer and got the jig pulled out .....

When I first snagged him I thought I had my walleye for the wall , but then it didnt feel right . Then the bubbles of air started to come up the hole . Must have been several all coming by at the same time , flasher light up like a christmas tree. He got to the bottom of the hole and I had a heck of a time getting him through . It was definetly an experience.....

Because of this picture I had a dream last night that I went ice fishing and ended up with a bucket of muskrats. People were pissed at me because the hooks ruined their hide and the fur shop wouldn't take them.

My brother in law was fishing up in Maine and went to check his tip ups. One of the tip ups had most of the line off the spool. When he started pulling in the line it was just dead weight. Well, up comes a drowned otter. Don't ask me how, but the otter had taken the shiner and it got caught in its throat. Must of freaked out and drown.

"They're not bad barbecued, if you par-boil 'em first". That's what most people say about varmint cuisine. They're usually right.

TRCrappie · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 07:39 PM »

Would have done the same thing. That is great you got a picture, have heard of that happening but now I know it can happen. Would definitely kick that rat's face in for a 5 dollar jig too.

Deep fry with beer batter and toad stool salad.

Im kinda salty you got the jig back... I was lookin forward to catching that 'rat and turning him from a 4$ rat into a 9$ rat instantly!

Eaglecrg · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 18, 2011, 08:35 PM »

You should have had it mounted. Wonder if they charge by the inch for muskrats!!!

"You should have had it mounted."

I agree...and I would have left the jig in its ear. What a conversation piece that would be!

lives2fish · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 19, 2011, 08:52 AM »

Crazy catch man!!!
So not planning on mounting him huh?

fishslayerX · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 20, 2011, 07:50 PM »

I thought muskrats at hibernated or tuffed out winter in some kind of den. Guess not that is crazy.

Vtgooseman · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 20, 2011, 07:59 PM »

That's a great catch.
