Musky - Underwater Video

[Fishhunter3]

During a recent fishing trip in northern Ontario, Canada we collected underwater footage of fish in their natural habitat - not being fished or baited. We were concerned that the size of our camera rig would scare the fish, however, the opposite was true as it attracted walleye, smallmouth bass, redhorse suckers and muskie in good numbers. The cameras were left running for approximately 2 hours in 2 locations, 12 feet of water in a river channel then 4 feet of water in a silty bay. This video shows the muskies that passed the cameras; the walleye, sucker and bass footage will be posted soon.

Hope you enjoy!

That was Bad ***!!! The last clip of that burst of speed by the muskie got me pumped!

I have always wondered why these professional underwater wildlife cameramen on discovery and animal planet never make anything involving the biotic relationships in temperate waters like the great lakes. All they ever seem to want to film is piranhas and tropical catfish.

Thank you RawHog! We're pretty sure the muskie had sucker for supper just off carmera view at the end. We will try to get the strike on film next trip up north.
