Location: Contrarian Island | yup, happens everywhere I fish just about...not sure what they are doing...it's almost like they are in a transe..you can cast at them and every one in a million will turn and follow your bait and I do know of at least one that I did have hit after I saw it porpoise..and a friend did this year...
just something muskies do...now I've seen them porpoise and I've seen other ones swim for quite a few feet, say 30 feet plus with 1/3 of there body out of the water...usually smaller fish in the 34-38" size range..i've gone right up to them and tapped them w/ my rod tip.....not sure what they are doing either...weird fish ...

Location: nationwide | Went out the evening of September 22nd and had one porpoise about 10 feet from me heading towards my creeper . ... and I watched the air bubbles go right under my lure and continue. I got fed up with that spot and left, fish was about 41 inches.
A couple spots later I had a nice fish, 46 inches-ish, porpoise 2 feet to the left side of my creeper heading out as the lure was coming in. Never had that happen before.
Went back to the first porpoise spot, had to be about an hour later and had a fish blow up on my creeper but no hooks. Was at the spot of the second porpoise early the next morning and another smaller fish porpoised by my lure which was off the back of the boat about 20 feet. While me and the guy I was fishing with watched the bubbles he picked his creeper out of the water and it sounded like an airport toilet flushing . . . . . #*^@ . . wish we had seen that one. There is no way it was the same fish because we could see the bubbles from the first fish when the second one "flushed". . . .double #*^@!!!!!!!!!!
I hate these fish and their games.

| I don't know if this is accurate but in the past I have been told that fish porpoising are digesting. |
