The musky has been known to eat baby ducks and rodents and the same with LM bass.............woody

I know this isn't a "mine's bigger than yours" thread but when I lived in Florida and spent most of my time offshore fishing I saw a shark eat a pelican. Poor dumb bird had just dove into a bait ball and was sitting on the water trying to swallow a big mouthful and BAM! up from the depths blasts this Lemon Shark and it cleared the water full body with a pelican in its jaws. Pretty cool sight. Too bad digital cameras had not been invented yet.

I caught a big largemouth bass one time and decided to keep it and eat it. While I was cleaning it I cut into its stomach to see what it had been feeding on and found 3 blackbird shadows!!!!

Must have been a huge LM. Most I ever heard of was 2 shadows.

If I had time I would tell you about the big cat fish eating squirrels.

I dont know if they are still on the market or not but cabelas or bass pro used to sell replica baby duck lures. Looked like those yellow bath ducks but with real feathers and a bill and everything. They had a few other critter style baits too. Pretty neat idea. From what i remember they werent cheap as you could imagine, but then again, nothing about musky fishing is cheap.
Its.pretty cool what fish will eat though. When i first read about the state record striper being caught on a 24" skipjack i was amazed! bass eating snakes and mice on top and all that. When ya gotta eat ya gotta eat i guess! lol

That was some very impressive video. Thanks for sharing. Swallows flying above the water is a whole different level than ducklings swimming around.
