She’ll come darting out of the weeds to try and whack a small pike as you bring it to the boat. Cool to watch.

I have never caught or even hooked a musky. I have however seen some huge ones.

I was in Ontario at a friends cottage and early one morning I was just sitting on their dock having a smoke and a coffee. The water was a flat as glass and as clear as drinking water.

I thought I saw something just about 10 or 15 off the dock so I stood up to get a better look. There were three musky swimming past so slow I could almost count their scales.

There were a few rods in the boat right be side me so I grabbed on that had a big lure on it and started casting in front of them.

I am sure at one point I even hit one but they didn’t change direction and they didn’t stop. I couldn’t even scare them.

All this happened in just a couple of minutes. I kept following them as they moved along until they were out of site but couldn’t get the slightest interest.

Of course when I went back into the cottage and told them they asked me what I was smoking.

Mike also caught the second biggest striper that day, but I’m not recording that one for posterity.
