Gord July 27, 2013 at 3:27 pm Reply Whatever rod you select, my suggestion for a real challenge is to only put 28 feet of line on it. 🙂

Andy July 29, 2013 at 1:21 pm Reply Sorry about that Mark. Some how the settings got changed. Let me know if it works now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYLeKyY6Ooc
Andy July 29, 2013 at 4:38 pm Reply Normally, 28′ of line would be about right. Of course next you are going to challenge me to catch fish where there are no fish or to fish trout in August in 5′ of water? I think this is simply a hint by Gord about where you should be fishing in August?
Professor July 30, 2013 at 6:32 pm Reply Hi Andy…As you have demonstrated many times over, there are many options for catching nice walleyes on Eagle Lake. Bringing another “prop” to do so is a meaningless gimmick at this point. I say forget this idea and create a real challenge. I suggest you go after a trophy muskie using the “Belinski Bait”. It can be trolled in the deeper waters of Vermilion Bay or you can fish it under a big bobber close to the VBL beach area.
Andy July 31, 2013 at 10:52 am Reply Professor, I will have to check to see if Gord is willing to donate one of his big toes for bait because Charles’ bait is selling like hot cakes after he broke the ice. I do plan on breaking in a virgin St. Croix Rod on a big fellow. It’s one of those pretty blue rods you like so much but stands tall at 8′ 6″ (A Christmas present from my daughter). It’s paired with a nice Revo Winch and is in need of a scuffle and recommendation for line. I think Gord has retired from musky fishing so maybe Brad or someone else could add to the line recommendations?
Gord July 31, 2013 at 8:13 pm Reply Once you obtain the rank of “musky master” it is expected that you can coast a bit.
