I know this family and the lake. I've caught muskies in it. They can be aggressive and big but this is unusual.

What do you think? The fish mistook his white tennis shoe for a large shad or something?

How big do they get, they are full of teeth right?

Seems I recall a similar incident many, many years ago, near Lake Amelia, MN. My grandparents had a cabin there and I was maybe 10-yrs old at the time and some other kid was dangling his foot in the water off the end of the dock and a Northern Pike pit and wouldn't let go. The kid raised his foot out of the water and "caught" the fish. The kid had to have stitches as well. Made me darned scared to go into the water the rest of that summer. . .and maybe had some influence on my inability to watch Jaws when it first came out.
