Did anyone check to see if that Muskie had a trout stamp??
I’ve seen muskie’s attack people at the beach in shallow water (bit a chunk of flesh off my dad). I’ve had a 5” long Muskie latch onto my lure that was twice it’s size.
Something like that trout should be fine as long as the fish can still get water through it’s gills it won’t choke.
No argument here; that’s a Tiger Muskie.
