What do you think that a fish is thinking it is attacking when it goes after a Top Raider?


How about a Jackpot?

my guess would be an injured fish that is just waiting to be eaten. :)

A Top Raider is a baby duck...probably a merganser.
A Jackpot is a runaway bratwurst.[:p]
Actually I don't think that they have any idea. It's moving, it looks vulnerable....I think I'll eat it.

Nice Top Raider Jason! Thats everyone's dream of what they want their lures to look like!

I think maybe a mouse or some kind, maybe a little musk rat?????

Jason,

Put down the camera.

He certainly seems to be addicted to that camera lately, first his tackle boxes, then the Undertakers, now the TopRaider and Jackpot.....it only leads to worse things.......taking pictures of himself!!

Gee, just a few more chomp marks and that TR will look like mine.LOL

I think a TR looks like a toddlers feet splashing off the dock, and a jackpot looks like a piece of wood that goes back and forth and plops once and a while.

I agree Bill! But if it was I bet it's either kill or food!

I have a baby loon Top Raider, so I'm taking a rather educated guess, but a loon that needs to take some Bean-o?

Good question Cadster!
I used to wonder the same thing, but never got to sit down with a Musky and ask him.
I think sometimes they are just striking at the bait out of frustration, get that noisy thing away from here, I'm trying to sleep. You have to wonder!!!
Didn't you ever think that, especially when they come up on a jackpot from behind and just kind of follow it in in a zig zag motion. It's like their chasing it out of their teritory, or when they come out of the water and just smack your bait but don't eat it.
I guess we will never know!!!!!!![:blackeye:]
