Category: Northern Pike | Top Water
Do predators such and northern pike, muskies and bass attempt to stun potential prey in certain situations? In this video clip shot 9/14/06 a northern pike strikes at a muskie topwater lure in some heavy cabbage. Watching the strike in super slow motion it appears that the pike has its mouth shut during the strike. Was the fish trying to eat the lure or simply stun it? It’s also possible that the pike had simply closed its mouth by the time it clears the water. I’ve had old time muskie angles swear that in some cases muskies strike to stun or to kill and not eat. What do you think? Please fell free to add your comments to this video if you have seen this scenario while fishing. Filming Location Twin Cites Metro Area
