Location: Tennessee | Just popped into my head today for some reason, I've actually reeled in two bass that hit the same Rapala and both got hooked and it made me wonder if it's happened before with muskie. Could you imagine dragging in two 45+ tanks both attached to the same Jake? |

| I've had it where while reeling in a fish another one takes a swing at the bait in the mouth of the one being dragged in. That was cool. Had two guys in the boat and we've had two fish on at the same time. That was cool.
Then there was getting a double follow and my partner sits down in a seat and orders flowers for a woman. No need to go any further than that. That was not cool....but has provided some laughs. |

| Like Ulbian I have had a second musky come and try to get a lure from a hooked musky but missed.
My wife had a triple follow that was so very cool to watch and they stayed in the figure 8 for a turn and a half it looked like a family mid 30's mid 40's and a huge one I had the gopro on but the glare you can not see any of them I am going to get a polarized lens cover this year and see if that helps for them bright days. |

| It's crazy when sometimes we go days without seein a single fish and then all the sudden your seein 3 and 4 fish at the same time! Happened to me a few times as well. I do remember having 2 fish follow and a 3rd come outta nowhere and took a swipe at my bait. Then all 3 scattered. but talk about heart poundin!!! That was cool! |

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | Never caught two at once, but did have seven follow at one time in a small Canadian fly-in lake. Looked like a rack of bowling pins coming behind my lure. Biggest one was up front. |

| Up in Vilas years ago we had a wolf pack of little 25" or so muskies follow almost every cast. There was literally to many to count. The water was crystal clear which made it really neat to see them come out of the weeds follow then hang out a few feet from the boat staring at us. As soon as the sun went down, my buddy hooked into a 48.5 inch fish right over the same weed bed. That was a truly awesome battle to watch in such clear water. Still the biggest we have ever landed up there.

| I had (3) 30"ish fish follow in a row and I thought it was a monster fish....cruel. |

| I've pulled two 16-17" walleyes up the hole while ice fishing that were hooked on a single treble hook. That was fun, limit was 2 on the lake at the time. We've had doubles on muskies twice. One time we landed both, the other time I lost mine midway through the fight. Another time while sucker fishing, I positioned the boat to get view of the sucker and fish, only to find 3 muskies surrounding the sucker. The fish in the middle had the sucker t-boned in its mouth while there was a muskie on each side. All were about the same size fish and looked identical. Last spring I caught a muskie that had another muskie following it during the whole fight. We could have practically netted both of them. Not sure if they were spawning or what but they were definitely acting weird last spring. |

Location: Metro, MN | Never but I had 3 muskies follow a bulldawg on the same cast in northern MN. One 42, which was caught on the figure 8, one 45ish, and the other one of the biggest fish Ive seen in my life, 55+. Got no help from my buddy with the net job cause our concern was the other monster! |

| I had the opposite happen once............. while trolling the down rod in the back goes off - handed that one to my son. as I reach for the side rod it goes off - hand it to my daughter. About half way in they seemed tangled or just fighting strange...... a 36"er had the 8" Jake on the down rod and the 8" jointed LEO BOTH in his mouth. |

Would you order flowers for an ex-girlfriend on her birthday in that scenario? |

Location: minocqua, wi. | i had a little fish hit a bait and then get demolished by a gooder one … my replica is of the small fish with the bait in it's mouth and the big girl approaching with her mouth open. unique and cool mount of both fish on a beautiful piece of driftwood done by Joe Fittante. pretty darn cool experience!! |

| I thought the story with Kingfisher was one muskie grabbed 2 of his baits while trolling. |

Location: Greenfield, WI | We were fishing a spot in the Winnipeg River at a spot that we had seen a +50"er. I got a strike and it felt huge. I thought I had finally hooked the monster.
It turned out that a 38"er had the treble hook of my Doghouse Bucktail, and its twin had the shaft in its mouth. It held on for a few seconds and then let go.
