I caught a decent sized cusk last year on Sunday morning of the Derby. When I pulled it from the ice, I left it on the ground while I walked back to the cabin, grabbed a plastic bag and my snomo helmet and returned to my catch. About 10 mins passed. I then loaded up said cusk in the bag and hopped on my sled for the 20 min ride to Meredith. My fish was weighed and boarded -- but its tail was swinging for at least another 20 mins. Cusk are tough SOBs. And until it was frozen solid, it kept moving.

So my question is this: how best to kill a cusk? Louisville Slugger??? LOL.

I guess next time I'll just hold onto it longer....
