Default Re: Musky Surfacing Like an Alligator

I was musky fishing once and saw something from a distance coming at my boat. Thought it was a beaver or something until it got close enough to see clearly and realized it was a huge tiger musky swimming with its whole head out of the water and it's mouth wide open. Swam so close to me that I was almost able net her. If the net didn't get caught on my rod holder I would have had her lol. I've never seen one do this before and it was awesome. I think it might have something to do with letting air in or out of the swim bladder???? Not an expert just my guess. It's not like the fish came to the surface real quick and went back down. It swam half way across the lake like this.... wild!
