Location: Pewaukee WI | A few days ago I had something new happen for the first time that I curious to know if it happened to others. I was drifting w/ the wind and I noticed a low 40's staring me in the eyes off the front of the boat while I had my bait off the other side. SHe kept following the boat and at first I tried to make as little movment as possible to not spook her and get my bait in but then I realized she had an evil look in her eye. I could tell she was mad and was actually stalking the boat so I figure gave my bait a L right in front of her face and she attacked my bait and hammered it with her gill plate. Didn't even open her mouth. |

Location: Lino Lakes, MN | I was up on Canyon a few years ago doing a little walleye fishing when the muskies were slow. My brother starts hollering from the back of the boat so I went back to see what the fuss was about. I look down to see a low 40s fish just cruising along staring down the prop. A little bit later on while fishing a different spot, I went to put an eye on the stringer...as I pulled it up I saw a ski coming up right behind it. Definitely weird, weird fish that we chase around. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I've had this happen a few times too, most recently on Big Arb. The fish followed, drifted away and then came back and slowly swam along side and then in front of the boat for a few minutes. I didn't cast back but just thought it was pretty cool to watch. |

| Theedz had one follow along side his lure for most of Beach Park on the opener this year. We watched it open it's mouth a couple times, but it just wouldn't commit. I need to fish with Theedz more. Cool fish things happen when he's in the boat! |

| I had a 36-38 inch fish follow right behind my trolling motor prop for more than an hour. It would stay about a foot behind it, and then when there was any thrust, it would back off about 3 feet, and when I resumed drifting, there it was right behind my prop again. |

| Once every day for a week a musky would swim around by me messing with my mind. |
