Subject: MUSKY MUNCHES MUSKRAT!!!

I took my young son Dylan out to fish on our pond tonight after a long weekend working and just as we were about to make our first toss I pointed out a muskrat swimming across the surface of our pond. At the very moment my son acknowledged seing the muskrat one of my muskies crashed the surface right next to it and engulfed it! What a show! We both were bedazzled by the unique experience. My son then went into an hours dissertation on muskrats and muskies and the questions thereof.......guess I won't have to hire that trapper afterall!

I wish I had a pond of muskies so I could watch them crush innocent little animals......I would get all sorts of critters and stock them around the pond.

It is a cool sight to see. I've seen pike do the same thing to muskrats when out checking traps with my brother.

We've seen that on a local metro lake when a small Muskrat was swimming away from shore. Thats when I understood why bulging large, brown bucktails worked so well.

Also saw a large Muskie chase a group of ducks onto shore on the same lake. The Muskies like Coots too as we've seen several of those get eaten as well. Hard to mimic a coot though. Just how does one run a lure to look like that????

Guess Muskies eat what they can find when they're hungry. Kind of like people eating Big Macs.

That is a very cool experience for you and your son. I have seen it with Baby Ducks and it sure is something to observe

Have fun catching that musky as it grows bigger
