[cool][#0000ff]I know for a actual fack that we have several BFT tubers who chase them toothy mothers from inflatable craft.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have taken northerns from tubes, but mostly by accident while fishing in waters they shared with basses and other stuff. I have never purposely gone after muskies from a tube. Not because I have any fear of them, but because they are easy to stress if you fight them too long or do not release them properly. It is too difficult to subdue, control and revive a muskie by yourself, from a tube.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Yeah, I have heard all the stories about big muskies charging the tubes and either biting a hunk out of the craft (or angler), but I ain't goin' for it. What has happened, more than once that I know of, is large active fish thrashing around and ripping a hole in a tube (or angler) with a set of trebles on the lure.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Got no quarrel with those who "shout at the devil". I tend to go with Dirty Harry "A man should know his limitations"...and that goes for the fishing craft you are in too.[/#0000ff]
