I guy I used to work with, actually his buddy, had part of his calf muscle torn off by a muskie when he was swimming at his cottage as a child. There was an incident last year in Georgian bay where a small girl was paddling in the water, and a muskie started circling her/chasing her. Thankfully, her father heard her screaming and grabbed her before the muskie attacked. I've seen a few large muskie where I go fishing for smallies, you see them following some of the loons around esp the chicks. Muskie get bigger than pike but, from my experience anyway, I find pike to be more aggressive(not necessarily more dangerous).

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
