Cast to fail

Thanks to @Randykast for getting me off the bank and being there to witness and document my failures.

First up is a thick fish that ate a mirror trout Deps 250. Being new to canoe fishing I let the fish jump one too many times.

This one really stung. Here I lose a 45"+ tiger muskie on that same mirror trout 250. Not sure I could have stopped this fish from jumping but my drag was a bit loose and may have played a part in this fish shaking off.

On the plus side you're getting bit, consistently!

Big fish with powerful head shakes - sometimes you get them, sometimes not. At long ranges like with that musky, there's not a whole lot you can do to discourage jumping, at least in my experience.
