What's the strangest thing you've seen following your muskie lures? Here are a few of mine:

Bluegills
About a 6" perch
A loon (scared the crap out of me!)
An Eagle

Craziest thing for me was a blue heron.. Dang thing would not leave me alone. I was throwing a red phantom and working it fast to keep it above the weeds and the heron would follow it almost all the way back to the boat no more then three feet out of the water. The bird did that probably every other cast for almost an hour.

Loons are riot when they follow, especially if you don't know they're coming. I've had them harass my sucker for over a half hour. I've seen gulls and eagles follow, too (from above).

I Caught a muscrat on a pacemaker one time! Little bugger chewed the heck out of it trying to get the hooks out of his fur. Glad we had gloves and the knipex that time...

I once had a low 40's fish following a HawgWobbler. I go into the eight and my Lab (Sophie) sees the musky behind the bait and decides she is going to help. If she was equiped with two trebles and a leader she would have caught that fish. She land right on top of it. Along with that about the same time Sophie made her leap the fish appeared to have hit the bait. The rod loaded up but I didn't put 2 and 2 together. No I wasn't hooked up with the fish but rather a 65 lbs of female Blk lab. I cut the line called her in and removed the hooks. The next twenty minutes or so she paced the boat from bow to stern. Thats the coolest follow I've ever seen.

A loon, and and 4-footer with a big sucker sticking out of both sides of her mouth. I saw it coming from 50yds away, just under the surface. I was thinking, "What the hell is that thing?", when she angled toward me and passed by just 10' in front of my bow I could see that what caught my eye was the belly of her dinner. A nice fat sucker. I watched in awe as she swam past and then started to head down. Never saw that before or since.

I have had dogfish and loons follow but the oddest are buffalo following musky baits and eating them!

Watched my buddy take a 29.25" walleye on the eight on Minnetonka, mid day, blue sky. Using a Big Game Tackle Company 8" or 9" twitch bait in about 8 feet of water. I think we had a big laugh about that one at the time.

A black lab and a poodle - at the same time. One never knows what might follow a topwater when working a shoreline in front of a park.
