So I saw the "swimbait challenge" topic and decided to Google image search "swimbait" as was suggested by someone.
The image below is one of the ones that came up.
It looks like that smaller piked tried to eat that bigger muskie! You can almost see the muskie's snout poking out of the pike's gills. I love fishing for pike and this just reinforces why their so awesome.
I know it is not uncommon for pike to bite off "more than they can chew," but do you think this is actually a picture of a natural event? I don't know if the larger muskie would have let that happen. Maybe the muskie was already dead and floating and the pike tried to make a scavenged meal of it? That's still pretty impressive that the pike would try to eat it. Or did some jerk just take the two fish and jam one inside the other for a cool photo?
What do you guys think?
ps: here's some more ridiculous pics...
