| I know what the heck is this all about. Well are there any 'factual' stories of Muskies/Pike biting swimmers and/or pets. And by pets I don't mean the pic of the cat swimming...but actual documentation of a dog get'n bitten by a Musky or Pike. Out here in Utah there's all kinds of wild stories going around on the Tiger Muskies and Pike. I just roll my eyes and say fine...one less rec boater bothering the heck out of me. But for my general education/knowledge (I've tried goggle searchs) can anyone provide me factual info on a Musky or Pike biting/attacking or whatever a human and/or pet? I'll be honest I've caught Pike as a kid and now Tiger Muskies and I've yet to find any factual inforamtion on this ever happening. I'm think'n if it has happened it's just one of those one in a tillion incidents. So maybe some of you folks can help me on my fact finding mission on this topic. Thanks in advance for any and all 'factual' intel on this. Sincerely, K2  | |||

I need the pic of the cat and the musky...omg.. I remember that! It would crack my gf up (or pss her off) because recently I told her the 2 new kittens on the house are so far on my bad side I was going to go throw them in the lunge ponds at Jim Pecks. I love animals...even cats but I was born and raised to love the lunge more so hey  Where's that pic! And I know the Lunge family would attack a human or pet...atleast I think they would...hell they've chased me 50 yards inland on full moon nightsEdited by RiddingBaits 8/25/2009 5:32 PM | |||

| IMO Sunfish are far more of a threat to humans At my in-laws lake home, the kids don't want to ge in the water because them little things are like Piranahs off their dock (exaggerating a bit ... but they do bite very frequently). Been known to draw blood on a few occasions. Never had that problem with any other fish .... However my wife refuses to get into the water if she sees a large snapping turtle roaming the area. | |||

 My girlfriend still runs and screams when the gills and minnows are nibblin on her feet. I'm so banking on losing a nice rod and reel the day she has a pig roll over on her bait right next to the boat...she's gonna know why I am zoned in on what I'm doing in the boat...even on the way to the cabin :s Yeah, I already woke up in a panic months back...had a nightmare where she hooked into the one I was chasing for so long, screamed and threw the pole in the water at the same time. fml. | |||

| Better make sure she gets the "Snoopy" musky pole It would be a real nightmare seeing the custom rod and Shimano TE go into the drink | |||

JBush - 8/25/2009 6:37 PM A sunfish bit someone and drew blood? Did it pick off the Band Aid or something? Don't think so ... it was my wife that was complaining about it, must have thin skin or that lake has a hybrid with teeth. I don't swim in the lake so no personal experience, I'm usually fishing on the water instead of swimming it. However, holding any lure over the water, they frequently jump out fo the water trying to eat it. Experienced this casting cranks for bass/pike off the dock. I think they would try to eat just about anything .... too bad most aren't worth keeping for the diner table. | |||

| Wow k2, I didn't realize they were such a problem out there. I'll be out in a couple days to help catch some of these beautiful monsters and protect the public. Problem is I'll have to release them too, so you might want to consider relocating. Those fish are going to get more violent and aggressive if they keep getting hooks yanked into their faces. They'll be jumping out of the water to take out the human race pretty soon! I'm sure the wife will understand why I'm leaving in such a hurry, when I explain the entire situation.
