Burping a Musky

[k2muskie]

We've had to do this several times when a TM decides to put on an acrobatic display. Thought I'd share this article. If the fish seems in distress and can't submerge recommend you try this.

Thanks, the technical info keeping these alive is much appreciated. Don't know about you all, but a quick look in my brain, and I would say at least 40% catch air, and some could work in the circus.

After this year they will need to be "burped back to life" thanks to the water levels!

Oh and should've mentioned this as we do it all the time...keep them rod tips down or shoved in the water when battling the fish to control its head and limit out of water experiences does lower that but still happens. [][]
