I suppose this doesn't happen everyday.

Hehe. Revenge of the fishies.

I fish on a lake with muskies, and they aren't friendly at all. Ive heard many stories about muskies attacking people. I even know a guy who's missing part of a finger for his effort to remove a hook from a muskie's mouth.

They're quite big and aggressive, some call them freshwater barricuda. One way to catch them is to drive around in your boat making as much noise as you can, banging on the side of your boat, revving the engine and such then casting your line with the biggest lure you can find (usually a 10 to 12" floater lure does the trick).... they attack out of anger more often than hunger. Sometimes they'll even attack the boat propellor ... usually with bad results (for the fish)...

I find them fascinating because of their total lack of fear... but don't expect me to go swimming where they're known to be.

P.S. is it wrong to be a fisherman and keep fish? lol
