I've seen marks like that from fish that jump and wrap up in the line for a short period of time, but can't tell from the image for sure. NICE Muskie, Herbie!

yes its from the fight, had one that we saw clearly last year at the boat and it didnt have the marks then did a full twisting jump and when she hit the net it had those marks, just think the superline will cut into your hand when tying a knot or getting it wrapped around your hand , so it will do the same on a fighting musky with alot more power put to it to get away, not just u tightning up a knot....bill

Those are the same things I have heard. Makes sence. I also heard that running your braid over thier back while trolling can cause a mark/slice if they are to slow to move, but that seems kinda far fetched. ?? Thanks for the input guys.

So if the lines are from a fish wrapping up during a fight do the lines stay there forever or disappear over time ?

Is it just where the slime is taken off and disappear when new slime gets on the fish?

I am just learning about muskie fishing and have no idea

Someone mentioned the braid line already while trolling, that was my theory..
