My very close friend and former employer Joe Bucher, sent me the picture and story of this great musky, caught on a Mag Tinsel Buchertail on a figure 8 while fishing Lake of the Woods last week! Here is the excerpt from Joe's own web site:
This is the largest musky Joe Bucher has caught on camera in 20 years of filming TV fishing shows. It followed the lure around in a figure 8 pattern for at least six times before opening its huge jaws and clamping down on the bait. The black rainbow pattern Buchertail Mag Tinsel was barely hooked (on one single hook) on the upper roof of the fish's mouth throughout the whole battle. As soon as the fish hit the net, the hook was out.
Congrats to Joe on a great fish!!!!!!! Can't wait to see her on video!
