| What is the dumbest thing you have ever seen a musky do?
Here are a few of my favorites:
- charging a lure at boatside and hitting the trolling motor instead
- trying to eat a topraider and missing by a good 3 feet
- sitting motionless staring up at a lure that was hanging over the side of the boat
- staring at the trolling motor while completely ignoring lures |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | One of my first fish I ever caught was a 40" fish and when I released her she swam away as they normally do, only to turn around (towards the boat), she gave her tail a swift kick right into the side of my boat. as if to get revenge on the metal. - stupid fish |

Location: Eagan, MN | Last fall, my buddy (who shall remain nameless, though commonly frequents this board) had a fish swim up and bite the tail off his Dawg right at the boat. Dang! Stupid fish sat there with her mouth open, trying to rid herself of the hunk of plastic stuck in her teeth. That allowed my quick-thinking buddy to swim the body of his Dawg into her mouth and set the hook. Fish caught. Nice one.
Same trip, same buddy, is taking the lazy-man's way of fixing a Ball-dawg, in which the tail of his bait was folded over the back hook. He's bobbing his bait up-down in the water right at his rod tip in order to release the tail off the hook. You guessed it... Caught fish. Another nice one.
Amazing and stupid fish all rolled into one.

Location: Grand Marais, MN | my brother and I were out in kayaks musky fishing. He's got my new dadson boo dadley on. I watch him hook into one closed to boatside. fight for 5 seconds. fish gets off, he says, "ah ****" and for no reason at all dips the lure back into the water. Same fish comes back and bites it again, bucktail vertical in the water not moving or blades spinning. |

Location: Roscoe IL | Made at least 25,000 casts on a LOTW trip and got 1 small muskie in 5 days. Stupid fish! |

| This spring we had muskies following our boat. Not our lures but the boat. I've never seen fish act like that before...I later found out that they were spawning. Very strange behavior, acted kind of like sharks would. |

Location: Northern Illinois | My uncle casts towards a dock with a Mepps Musky Killer. He gets a hit and sets a good hook on the fish. A few seconds later he says, "nope I'm snagged". Then a few seconds later he says, "no I think it is a fish!" This happened around 5 different times where he said he had and didn't have a fish. As we trolled over we realized he caught a Northern Pike that was on a stringer. The northern actually hit his lure and was hooked in the mouth! I know its not a musky but still a stupid fish! |

| SWorral.... you are crazy my friend... I fit right in on this board...
Had a friend fishing with me in Canada and we were casting wood early in the season. He threw his bait accidentally through a hole in the downed pine tree. Yup... you guessed it, muskie ate his bait. As the fish thrashed, it jumped right through the hole in the tree. He fought it to the boat and we netted it....
Mind freed!!

| Last weekend I had a really small muskie (~20") that followed in a dog. It didn't chase the 8, it just sat in the middle and spun around in circles as I did a big O around it. It did it through 4 loops before finally darting off. |

| Biggest fish of my life hit on a 3/4oz little cleo after throwing muskie sized baits in the area for a week. Lost the fish but it has cost me 10k since looking for another. Stupid fisherman..........I meant fish! |

| Fishing on the Fox Chain in Ill. with my 15 year old daughter and on Bluff lake had a fish miss a Hawg Wobbler and end up in my captain seat. It was 32" and we argued for an hour and the whole ride home who was going to register that fish. LOL!!
The other one that comes to mind is a 36" fish that hit the trolling motor so hard it killed itself. That was years ago in Canada. I can still see that look on my partners face. Nice, now what do we do. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | Had the wife out with me, (rare thing) and was on a school of nice 3-4 lb smallies running a 25' breakline. Clear blue sunny day and the school was on the move. I could get the drop shot down there and fight one but had to keep moving forward to stay in contact with the school of fish. All of a sudden the 21' boat shuttered like the spine broke. It was very strange but strong vibration. Not what you want from a brand new rig. I looked back to see a muskie about 5 yards behind the boat. I surmised that while I was going forward the SS prop was slowly spinning in the bright sun and flashing. It was a brand new prop and very shinny. I confirmed once we loaded up, there were scratch marks on one of the ears! |

Location: Minnetonka | Similar story... We were on a small lake in Canada and the motor had a chrome propeller. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and we hadn't seen a muskie in the first 3 hours. I was joking with the guide about flying us into a "muskie lake" that had no muskies in it and right on cue, he tells me to come back and look at the prop. I Looked over him to see not one, not two, but three tankers, all around 45" and each within a foot of that chrome prop. They were mezmerized and just following the boat as he switched in and out of gear. Apparently, the first one came right when we start working that shoreline and the other two joined in about 10 minutes later. The guide knew they were there for about 15 minutes, but didn't mention them until I questioned the lake. Then I caught a 27"...Stupid fish. |
