Bubba said:Catch them on bass lures? Yes....long as its a well built bait. Catch them on bass gear....More than likely not. And if you did happen to get one on bass gear, it would more than likely wear it out to the point of exhaustion, which would more than likely lead to death. Not saying it can't be done, but the possible harm to the fish, IMO, is not worth it.

That's what I'm afraid of. I'd be hooked and never catch the fabled 50 incher. Though this guy did it...
That is an awesome fish.

Taking time to properly revive the fish is where alot of people make the mistakes leading to the death of a fish. All the Muskie that I have caught have never been on anything larger than 12 lb test line, that's the biggest I use. And have had a couple on 8 lb test. Have been as low as 6 but no success, (break offs). All while bass fishing with spinner baits or live minnows. I have never set out just to fish for Muskies. Allthough if I get some big minnows, I will tie on a steel leader just in case.
