GbayGiant Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well, I seen these pics on one of those other sites. Thought is was interesting because last year I witnessed a musky eat a large seagull off the serface of the water and I thought I was hallucinating but a friend told me the next day that he seen a floating musky with a seagull wing sticking out of her mouth. ( they choke on seagulls, with all the bones ) Here is an example of what a little Pike can do, so imagine what a 50lbs musky can eat. Keep your small dogs and infants out of big musky water.

express168 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 A long time ago while fishing Nippissing with my older brother we saw a seagull get hit , water and feathers everywhere. The seagull rolled over and there was a big bite out of the side, my brother looked at me and said one word, "MUSKY". I will never forget seeing that.

The one I seen, it took three hits and a lot of screaming and feathers flying before the musky finally submerged the bird. Nature at it's finest, I bet the musky didn't expect it to be her last meal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishn Technishn Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Maybe we can train Muskies to eat CORMORANTS!!!! FT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 That looks like a young cormorant in that pike. I once saw a good sized pike come 3 feet out of the water and take a swallow that was chasing bugs. Don't know how he coordinated a hit on that fast moving bird but he nailed it right out of mid air.

Sinker Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I had one try and take a duck decoy on sturgeon lake once. It hit it 3 times before it gave up. I thought my decoy was toast for sure.....he was a brute! Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 At my Grandfathers cottage, (Shadow Lake, Norland), every spring a family of ducks would swim by with 8-10 babies. Each day there would be 1 less swimming with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky66 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Years back I winessed a gull go down and not come up on the Muskoka River- not a Musky, but I've seen 30 lb plus Pike come out of there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattitude Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I used to work at a resort and they had a duck pond. Each year the swans would have Signets sp? and apparently there was a massive snapping turtle that would take them all the time. I remember seeing around six of them, next day five and so on usually only 1 or 2 survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
