TRANSDUCER BITE!?

[PYROPAL]

I HAD MY MARCUM IN THE WATER...TRANSDUCER ABOUT 4 INCHES BELOW THE ICE. AS ALWAYS THERE WAS SOME INTERFERENCE NEAR THE SURFACE, WHICH I IGNORED. I HAD JUST REELED UP AND CHANGED THE MINNOW ON MY CRAPPIE RIG AND WAS ABOUT TO LOWER IT INTO THE HOLE....WHEN "BAM" MY DEPTH FINDER JUMPS TOWARDS THE ICE HOLE. I COULDN'T FIGURE WHAT I DID TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN SO I LOOKED DOWN THE HOLE AND THERE WAS A GOOD SIZED NORTHEN THERE. THE CRAZY THING HIT THE PUCK! ANYONE ELSE EVER HAVE THAT HAPPEN? MY BUDDY SAID IT HAPPEND ONCE TO HIM TOO. THAT WAS THE DARNDEST THING. (I HAD A GOOD SIZED SWEDISH PIMPLE WITH A MINNOW AND 4 INCHES OF BRAIDED SUPER LINE AS A LEADER ON ANOTHER ROD. HE NAILED IT AND TOOK OFF... "POP" IT WAS GONE. AS SOON AS THE LINE "POPPED" MY CRAPPIE LINE THAT WAS IN THE OTHER HOLE JERKS THE ROD OUT OF THE BUCKET NEXT TO ME. [THAT LITTLE MINNOW WAS AT 14 FEET]...THE ROD FLYS INTO THE HOLE AND CATCHES ON THE REEL JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GRAB IT. I REEL UP AND HAVE THAT FISH AGAIN..BUT ONLY FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE WANTED TO HEAR THE REST OF THE STORY )

I have never had a Pike hit my transducer but I have had a muskrat hit it a few times, and come halfway up the hole.

While laker fishing last winter, a buddy of mine caught a 39" muskie on his transducer. It clamped on and wouldn't let go, so he pulled it up the hole.

Crazy fish!

Last summer on Mille lacs we had a Loon attack our Aqua Vu. They a supposed to be extremely territorial and from what I saw I believe it. Pretty Wild to say the least!

I had a muskrat grab my shiner and bite the line off my rattle reel last time I was out. I then left my house to fish on the open ice for a while and when I returned, there was a nice sized pile of weeds near the hole he popped up in. I guess my fish house is prime lake property to muskrats!

i talked to one guy here in iowa earlier. that had borrowed a freinds under water camera. he had the view of a muskie coming up and grabbing the camera !

[hardwaterfishing]

I had my transducer on my boat bit off twice before by muskrats

[Aquaman01]

At a Lake Calhoun IceGathering two years ago a guy was saying he had his 'ducer hit by a muskie.

Since then I've sold all my Suicks and replaced them with treble-hooked hockey pucks.

I had a little slime dog take a whack at my camera a few years back, then he went and hit a tip up. Oooops
