This is a clip of a HUGE Muskie that interrupted my perch fishing twice on Saturday. The second time the fish(perch) scattered, I immediately hit the record button and along came this Russian Submarine!!!!! Notice the bumps on the gill cover. The first time it came by the camera I was able to see the other side and the bumps were not there. Very unique marking!

Here is the clip from her first appearance. You can watch a bunch of perch eating my Tattletail jig or fast forward to 5:25 and watch the reaction of the approaching perch in the bottom left hand corner. PRICELESS!

Location: New Hope MN		That is amazing! She thought about it. I bet you wish you had a 12" sucker instead of that little jig.

I fish for gils and crappies a lot and we know when there is a pike or musky around as the gils/crappies scatter ...spin the camera and sure enough there is always a musky or pike near by

Those bumps could be a fungus infection on the edge of the gill plate. Nice footage.

Location: Downers Grove, IL		Sweet video. Those perch were really aggressive and looked to be in the JUMBO category.
