When I was a kid, longer ago than I care to mention, my little brother and I were fishing near Mayburg with our dad. My dad was catching trout, but me and my brother couldn't catch anything but chubs. So, boys will be boys and the sport became, catch a chub, then cast the chub back out and reel it in as fast as possible and watch that baby spin.
I can verify that a musky can swim faster than my brother can reel. The lightning-bolt quickness of a decent musky grabbing my brother's chub right by his feet was only slightly faster than the amount of time it took for the musky to break his line. The look on his face was one of those photographic moments that get burned into your mind forever.
If you fish that water, you might need a bigger net....
