I was just out for about an hour fishing some weedy areas for bass as I watched a mama duck and get duckling swim up into the reeds when there was a big splash and 1 less duckling. This scared the crap out off me as I was standing 10 feet away in waste deep water. Guessing maybe a muskie but not sure.

I was fishing a golf course pond and saw a bass eat a duckling just as I was about to cast in that spot, missed it the first time but the second time, it never returned to the surface ,would have been a good bass to catch with the rod ,but was full after the duckling :)
