Has anyone ever heard of turtles killing muskies. I have a buddy who claims that he found a muskie dead with a hole behind one of the fins. He says a turtle was the cause. Has anyone heard of this. thanks for any info

My guess would be the muskie died of something else and the turtles were nibbling on him.

I agree, that turtle was munching on a dead musky.

Agreed, the fish died of other causes and the Turtle did what Turtles do.

I have found two BIG catfish in lakes down south floating half alive with a turtle in their belly. The turtle was trying to claw its way out. I would think if a Musky ate a large turtle the same would happen.
