Here's a VERY cool post on another site. Buddy of mine lives in the midwest and does a ton of muskie and pike fishing. Just shared this post with me....awesome pictures of a fish taking on a bit more than he can handle.

Real Fishing Information for Walleye, Muskie and Pike at The Next Bite

[Salmo trutta]

Very Cool... except that's not a muskie, it's a Northern Pike. They (exocids, muskie, pike, chain pickeral etc) prefer to eat larger baits and being that they are so long they can eat something something that is 80% of their length. But it has to have a thin body like itself. Fish like bluegills will eventually get too deep bodied to be eaten by most fish. It's nature's way of protecting itself as they evolve. That White fish (or whatever it is) evolved by breeding in vast numbers and survived by sheer population explosions.
