I enjoy catching fish that want to try a little of you on. Pike here in the Yoop. Muskies are less common here. Have only caught one. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

That sounds a lot like a freshwater version of a barracuda. . | |||

Video of a couple guys catching a Muskie on a known Muskie lake Lake Vermillion in Minnesota. a 52" Muskie which is not all that unusual of a size. Someone suggested the girl got cut on rocks. Not likely. She felt the bite and kicked it away with her other foot. She was sitting on a paddle board after her dad been pulling it around. I'm sure the fish was in the area seen her foot dangling and got aggressive. Muskies don't scare from boat activity like most fish. One technique for fishing them is high speed surface trolling.

I thought how mangled can the foot get but those are very long and very deep gashes. I'd be crying like a little girl; I'm sure she did, too. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Yep, I've had my fingers buggered up taking lure out of the mouth's of a Pike. I realize her bite(s) were more involved. There are a lot of razor sharp teeth in those mouths. | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
When I was a kid...my fingers got ripped up pretty good by a chain pickerel (Muskie lite)...it took awhile to heal and hurt like hell...I feel for that girl. She is way tougher than most of her peers...bravo to her  . She will grow old and have a story to tell (with scars).******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Those are propeller cuts - the size,angle and texture of those wounds completely rule out the tale they are spinning. | |||

 Yes. I agree completely. I didn’t bother looking at the photo earlier, but now that I have, I can’t imagine mistaking those wounds as something made by a fish with many needle-like teeth. This shows what I would expect from a musky attack. ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

There are other photos showing additional wounds on the medial aspect of her lower leg that would be inconsistent with a prop strike. | |||

Are they linked at the original? ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

No. The small B&Ws show it. http://www.wdio.com/news/dulut...island-lake/4548348/ Beyond photo evidence, this was witnessed by other family members and other boaters helped with first aid within minutes. The girl and her family sure got their fish story together quickly if Dad really ran her over (twice) with the boat. BTW it was a 5HP on a small boat, not a high performance ski boat. | |||

Muskie and pike have needle-like teeth along the outside of their mouths, but they also have curved, sharp teeth inside, almost like the fangs of a snake. And there are a lot more in there than the two a snake has. I can totally believe that those wounds were made by a large muskie. | |||

This guy dropped a Muskie in his boat. Look at the wounds: Link to original video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EO9BWe9HNDk RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||

Scary to think back to how many times we went skinny dipping in Minnesota lakes during my youth. | |||

Okay, I’ve changed my mind. Thanks. ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||
