Pew pew pew!
Coyote season: 24/7/365
Hope it wasn't a buck.
Happens every day and night!! Deep snow certainly gives the predator a huge advantage!! With half way descent vision, the snow shows how it went down!!
Yep! The reality of nature. Good footage.
Tell me again why wolves are necessary? They need to be managed!!
Whare is this st g sayner area
Unfortunate part of nature is that it keeps balance. Coyotes will at least come back and feed on the deer.
We had a moose kill going down our driveway at our cabin and it trailed all the way down the driveway then they killed it on the ice of just out from the shore.
Better that deer than your pets
Nature can be cruel. I have seen many times were a hawk got a bird from my bird feeder and nothing but feathers in the snow.
I think Pete said coyote.
Found many yards from the previous winter where up to a dozen died from lack of food resources, due to encroaching People and Development often called Progress. If the Wolf population increases the Coyote population Evaporates. Mortal enemies of Both Many Humans and every Coyote Once before we immigrated from Europe, my Family came in 1640 but we are still Migrants from elsewhere
It's life in wild and needed to avoid the disease many Deer have now, like the Wastimg disease many carry now
It’s the way it is
Coyote or wolf? Looks like Coyote
Caleb Ramer
Too many wolves
Mother nature can be cruel..
Ive seen where they have eaten the whole hide, the ears, nose and jaw even gnawed a hole in the skull and cleaned in out. All in one night. Hard to imagine, but that is where them 2’ hair turds come from.
Sad. I love watching deer.
That's why they call it Wildlife
Nature at work.
Circle of life.
We have that same issue in forest county. Instead wolves have done a number on a lot of deer. I know it's nature's way, but I would like to see some better wolf management in my area.
Pete, you are the best! Those kids are the future of musky fishing. Taking the time to drive to Wausau and talk to your fans was a very cool thing to do.👍
My daughter said she'll find you this summer to have you autograph the Livingston lure you picked out after she catches a musky with it! My daughter is holding the lure in the pic. Btw, she couldn't stop smiling. You made her weekend. Thanks for chatting!
Nice talking with you again! And hang in there SPRING is right around the corner!!
Won't be long before we get back on the water throwing them Big baits..
Looks fun I’m sure you made those peoples day
Just got home from the show myself. It was great to see all the young folks and all the new vendors. And man I love the lure swap!
Pete, thank you for stopping by today. Thank you thank you thank you
It was good to chat with you Pete... tight lines
Looks like fun, lots of young anglers in those pics, future musky fanatics!!
Future generations of muskie fishers❤️
Feels good to get out of the house isn't it
Great pics with the future muskie fisherman/fisherwomen of our sport.
Long time ago I seen you in Cincinnati, Ohio pro bass 
It’s been a long time
When you coming back
How about asmr tik toc times in me ?
Looking good Pete …👍
Looks like decent turnout
Pete, you look good! Greeting fans, I am sure made their day!
Was nice to see you, Pete!
Looks like a great expo
Big fishing lure tip ty for trying
I’m gonna make a show north next year .
Big lure, big fish
You are such a great spokesman and representative for any company. A true inspiration to anyone who becomes famous. I love following you and your career. Keep it up Pete!
A little bit of purposeful animal abuse ... throwing a stick into bottomless snow - and you know Moses will go. Short legs ... the struggle is real (feel bad for the deer)!
Made an interesting find Tuesday (box of photos didn't know I had) - for Throwback day ... they go way back.
Some of what I found actually a little embarrassing, but good to show how this "pro" learned the hard way. For quite a few years I would bring fish in the boat and allow them to lay in the boat for unhooking; of course some beat themselves up - and slime wiped off. Even after I stopped that, I continued for a while to measure fish in the boat on a ruler.
The first photo is one of the last I measured in boat because it got loose and flopped all around... did swim off but weakly. I then went to all water measure and eventually - a guess is close enough. Time in boat for any reason isn't good for em.
I remember those days! Word's can't explain the time we had back then and the crazy ass story's. The evolution in musky rods and baits now from back then 🤔
Awesome throwback photo's!👍 We learn from the past. Thanks Pete for teaching anglers the way to properly handle and release big fishes.👍😁🎣
I remember back in the early 70's in Minnesota everyone carried a gaff for big fish more like Sushi fishing these days! Thanks for promoting CPR Pete! Let them SWIM! 🎣
A positive learning experience for sure Pete Maina, Professional Angler and Muskie Expert keep up the good work , I enjoy all your content.
I would believe Pete, that with all the muskies you've seen and handled over your long career, that your guestimate of length is possibly more accurate than some who actually measure them. Another thing I commend you on is even way back in your early days, you'd hold the fish horizontal with some additional hand support of the body. Looking back at old Musky Hunter magazines, I'm somewhat shocked at the amount of notable guides still holding fish to be released vertically by the gill cover. And this was at the time all your muskie pics displayed you holding horizontal.
We all live and learn! It’s awesome to see you spreading the word about safe handling! Sadly not enough people know that it’s bad to bring them into the boat! Thanks Pete!
Very cool, you’ve come a long way Pete ! I’ve learned a lot from you and I’m 62 years old lol keep it up !
Us older dudes remember that. 😁 Oh, and nice boat, too! Also well remembered. 😳Even if we knew what was best for those muskies caught in those old hollowed out 14’ boats, hanging over the side to do all the dirty work wasn’t the most practical way of securing the fish without something worse happening. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼
Nothing wrong with learning that way. People kept quite a bit more fish too. So I guess if you didn't have anyone to teach you, and you learned on your own before it was popular... That's how everyone else learned. Very cool!
So I'm guessing you are getting ready to do something about this issue with winter...
You have come a long ways from no shirt, short shorts, bare feet, too fully clothed, gator to protect face from sun, and shoes, although I do think u occasionally still wear flip flips lol. I caught my 12th ski’ of 2023 today btw!
I mean... slamming hooks through their face and dragging them to the boat isn't exactly good for them either. But I understand your point Pete. We've all learned over the years to minimize our impact on the health of the fish.
We learn Pete. Better than cutting their heads off and nailing them to the fish cleaning shack because “they eat all the walleye”, a common Michigan thing. Even as a boy I thought this was appalling.
Great find !! Always learning new techniques and ways to look after the fish, you are 😃👍🏼
Tuffy boat? You will need to kill winter next week!
Looks like you got a battle scar on your left side of your chest Pete??? I think back to the seventies. and we can't go back and change anything, but fish handling has come far more advanced than back in the day!! It happens where any type of fish can be hooked and it takes time and some damage to unhook them., But getting back them into the water quickly is a must!!
Recognizing the difference is half the battle. I commend you for your sincerity and commitment to teaching and conservation! ❤️🎣
I bet you don’t have the guts to wear those shorts out in the public anymore.. lol
Honestly wasn't much info back then. Heck we were all learning because the generation before us didn't release. It was food. We've learned a lot about C&R in the last 25 years.
How much difference is there fishing today compared to back then?
You are a wonderful ambassador to our sport. Thanks for all your teachings ❤️
We all used to do stuff like that. And even keep real fish to have mounted!
Come fishing with me
Nice looking back at the photos
That was a lot of fish ago.
I started off the same way! Get one in the net and fish comes into the bottom of the boat to unhook and measure.
Ahhh the old days
Always great to see finesse anglers and tiny fishes get the respect they deserve! Wimps ain't easy!
Had many wimp photos sent in last week, but here's 4 absolute dandies in the bluegill category - sent by: Robbie Bennett, John Weideman, Andrew Nelson and Joe Laubinger. The stories of these battles will be told many times.
Well done! Congrats on your amazing catches ... and remember the taxidermy bills are cheaper!
Awesome catches to be proud of for sure.🎣 Not every angler has the skill and finesse to catch the wimps.👍😁
1/64 oz jig for scale. A real trophy spot!
I went on a Cookout onetime and Seen Ripples in a Small Ditch ..Had Brought some Corn so thought it looked like a Nice carp..In a Few Minutes they All wanted to fish LOL..lucky I had a Few Rods with Me..Never Will Forget it ..Think 8 lbs was the big dog but we still had stretched line fun..
Catching fish that small takes a true professional. 👍
From just a few years ago at Lake of the Woods up in Canada north of International Falls. This is our littlest catch. Enrique Tovar caught this one!
Nice to see some one besides me catch little ones !! Enjoy pictures like that !!!
Those are dandys!!
My arm is still in a sling !!!
Beautiful
That's so cool..😎
Happy fishing 🎣
I call them professionals
They can steal your bait quicker than any fish i've ever encountered
Bobby Stage they dont know nasty boys like Aaron Winge does
I was using a 5” Rapala one day and caught a 4” bass, trying hard not to hurt it, it flipped a couple of times and I got a trip to the ER to remove a hook from the back of my hand. Not a proud day to say the least.
Buddy Steve Salisbury took me down yesterday to pick up my truck at National Fleet Graphics - who had just finished putting the Amsoil wrap on my truck. Of course Amsoil invented synthetics and has the best oil/grease products as well as additives ... everyone who tries Amsoil never goes back...
As always NFG did an amazing job on the wrap!
However, after I looked at these pics upon return home - I realized quite proudly - that I executed perfectly- dad Tex's ability to have one pant leg in and one out of my boots when I put em on to get out of the car.
Thank you dad for passing on your flair for Fashion!
Crazy scene!
The real world of nature is often not pretty ... deep snow and long skinny legs with sharp hooves can be a distinct disadvantage. ... See MoreSee Less

Did a run down to Wausau for the muskie expo today - hanging out at Team Rhino Outdoors - talking 'skis, Livingston lures and open water stories.
Cool to meet many great folks. Anglers are the greatest!

Buddy Steve Salisbury took me down yesterday to pick up my truck at National Fleet Graphics - who had just finished putting the Amsoil wrap on my truck. Of course Amsoil invented synthetics and has the best oil/grease products as well as additives ... everyone who tries Amsoil never goes back...
As always NFG did an amazing job on the wrap!
However, after I looked at these pics upon return home - I realized quite proudly - that I executed perfectly- dad Tex's ability to have one pant leg in and one out of my boots when I put em on to get out of the car.
Thank you dad for passing on your flair for Fashion!

Tom Wartman I think it's solid. Who wouldn't wanna look like Tex
The truck looks great!👍But the fashion statement makes the photos even better😁Great that Tex took the time to pass his fashion on to his son!
Good looking rig. Best of luck with it.
Fords the way to go!
I’ve been using Amsoil for years . Great looking truck and lol on Tex ! Always fun looking at your posts ! Have fun with your dad while he’s here !🙏
Cool...now the hard part - keeping it clean in this weather and whenever the thaw wants to start!
Tailgate adds a nice touch 🙂
Personally, I think you should have made the Amsoil logo a little bigger Pete. Can barely see it as is.
Noticed the boot thing a time or two at camp before too
That might be your best wrap ever. Sweet.
The apple doesn’t fall far.
It looks like I'm going to be paying attention for more of this 🤣
Lookin solid Pete
Very cool!! 😎 love the tailgate‼️
Chip off the old block...
Looks great 👍
You go Pete Maina, Professional Angler and Muskie Expert! You go! Season is getting closer by the day!
Truck looks awesome!
I think you will always be proud to follow in Tex foot steps!!!
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
Love the rear of the vehicle
Lookin Good!! Plan on seeing that rig in Longville this Summer!!
Amsoil is all I use, In everything...
Totally Awesome!!!
Looking good Pete
