Yup sadly sometimes there isnt really much time to think about it and bow down to drop the rod tip to get the fish down from a jump and hopefully keep it from heads shaking and spitting the hook! But thats a big esox for ya, especially musky will make you all day blame yourselves with "If only i had...." and "Why didnt i just" 😂 fuckin great times tho regardless (them being called the fish of 1000 cast) good chance that, that's all ur day fishing was for action. Its worth it in my mind. Sure, he got a small heart attack from that fish and even a follow without a strike is so exhilarating musky is worth the time you put in so long as you're learning to musky fish that particular lake is always worth all day fishing to just get one or a few bites or catches from these water wolves entire time. Always worth it bad day fishing is still great time spent😂
