Heard from a friend that on the internet people did a bunch of studies to see what handed muskies are. It supposidly said that 90% of muskies are right handed so they turn to the right to eat a bait or prey. Also thats whey you can get two diffrent measurments from a fish depending on what side of the fish you measure. Dont know if the facts are true but was intrestied in the studies so if anyone knows any info as in websites , ect. on this topic would appeciate it. Sounds intresting would like to find out alittle more on the studies. Figure with all the muskie gurus on here someones bound to have heard something.

Most muskies are right turn dominant. Unlike the subspecies of Homo Sapiens, Nascar Sapiens, which are left turn dominant.

It's been proven that if you start walking without direction that you'll end up at the same point on which you departed. I know that to be a fact because after bar close on Friday night, I'll end up back there on Saturday night.
Proven fact.....

Now how in the heck can people do a "Bunch" of studies on any of this? and I have the same question as above, how can one side of a fish be longer than the other?

Take a fish and measure both sides. The length increase isn't huge nor is it always noticeable. This wont turn a 48 into a 50, how it works I'm not really certain.

I can see it now -- next we're gonna have guys flippin' the #*^@ fish over to try to gain another 1/4"...

And... if the left hand/right hand thing was true, would left handed muskie anglers who do their figure 8's backwards catch a lot more fish?
