Almost tried landing backwards, but thought maybe I shouldn't push my luck!

I would have wet myself. Nice landing. That would be a good place for the red button landing.

Great landing!

Matchy41 · Nov 28, 2017

Thanks for the compliments! I could've done things different.
We troll at 4.5mph, the deck pitches-and-rolls, add the wind. At least no thermals over the water.
There's not much time to grab for the red button on these landings.
These guys wouldn't even catch it for me!

Nice landing, You didn't panic that's what counts.

rdonson · Nov 28, 2017

Nicely done! I’d have soiled underwear on that one.

ArnhemAnt · Nov 28, 2017

Nice landing bro. You kept cool, calm and collected.

What species of fish are you guys fishing for?

VETTE198620002000 · Nov 28, 2017

TOP GUN .....gutsiest move i ever saw man!!!

Matchy41 · Nov 28, 2017

We're trolling for Muskie...The fish they landed on the other boat in the video was a Pike, though.

ArnhemAnt · Nov 29, 2017

Is the Muskie a type of pike? From what I can work out, they are said to be fairly uncommon to catch.

FlushVision · Nov 29, 2017

Nice landing given the conditions. Not something I'd be willing to do by choice.

We've got arguably the best Muskie fishing in the world! Local Tournaments pay out $50K. Some have caught 20 in a day...

And I thought landing on the roof of my van was hard....and it is stationary.
**** good job.

An aside:

I grew up in Upstate NY and we referred to the small, pocket book sized dogs that some people like as "Muskie bait". Muskie can become quite sizeable.

Sounds like you live in Muskie heaven. Nice pic too.

Keen to see some more aerial footage from you in the future with some of those fish being caught and landed.

Perfect landing here! A bit risky but you did it well

Matchy41 · Dec 6, 2017

Just a bit risky, heh. This lousy crew wouldn't dare catch it for me. I couldn't get my fingers to the red button, was too busy sync'ing flight with the boat's movements!
