Fly is Bass food, Bass is Muskie food.

Food chain in action. Big bait=Big fish, right?

I was fishing in Lake of the Woods near Nestor Falls, Ontario, ( I stayed at Cadadian Haven resort www.canadinhaven.com)and I was trying to pick up a few smallmouth bass on my flyrod. We decided it would be fun to turn on the camera to watch me catch a bass on a 5 weight fly rod. Turns out there was a very hungry muskie nearby.

As you can see in the video, the muskie tries to eat the bass that I hooked. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of memory. The film is entertaining nonetheless, and big muskie like this one are common in Lake of the Woods, especially if you go to Canadian Haven resort in Nestor Falls. (www.canadianhaven.com)

I fought the muskie for 15 minutes. Then, the muskie got smart and spit up the entire bass. The poor bass was still alive. The bass was 12 inches long. Canada is awesome!

@Bradhahn14,

It was in Sabaskong, not Whitefish. It is very beautiful up there.

Man I hate people like this who comments on videos just to dis the people in the video, they did a great job dude, to see something like that is amazing already, if the guy doesnt want to net it yet, just wait it out like they did. Nice Video by the way, love how the muskie attacked hehe.

[BuckWildph]

This gave me blue balls! I think the net guy could of did a better job and got it quicker!

[orionknight12]

And muskie is angler food?

[Cooloioi]

If only it was , sunny eats fly, bass eats sunny, pike eats bass, musky eats pike, shark eats musky, and then a WHALE eats the shark. (; If only sharks and whales were freshwater fish ..

[kylemyster100]

did you keep the muskie or what

[haloguy420]

great video! would have loved to see if you landed it or not.

[zezizarjaars]

Did they actually catch it at the end or... ?

@mackles Why? Not much different than saying "got one" or something similar, lets your fishing partners know in case they have to reel in their lines, get a net, etc.
