Kinda off subject, but back in NY and other eastern states with big Muskies and Pike people used live kittens rubber banded to a great big treble hook. Then tossed it's poor little butt in to weed beds. I never fished that way. But these fish were HUGE. I'm talking 50 plus pounds. This was also twenty years ago. I would use big ol' Daredevil spoons. They make a five ounce version that is the size of your hand.

Just because I look big, dumb, and ugly, doesn't mean I am. It means I can stomp you for calling me it!
