If you use domesticated ducklings to fish for muskies,you might be a redneck.

Its funny to think about doing it but doing it and posting it ,still kinda funny.

Im gonna try using kittens to catch coyotes. Dont worry the kitties are domesticated.

Status: offline 		never actually tied on a live duckling, but i've fished a fly pattern that imitates them for bass
i have fished baby snakes for bass and mice for bass and pike

i've had a loon take a streamer, a bat take a dry fly and have had both bass and pike get caught while i was bringing in a smaller one of their species

over the years i have seen turtles take ducks, muskie take ducks, muskrats and a small beaver (killed it but couldn't swallow it), bass take snakes, chipmunks and mice, and large brown trout take small field mice

Nice technique , you might want to avoid noodling however.
