So far 2013 has been a great year of fishing so I'm just having some fun with this fishing post. I'll post the photos in a few days l This Rapala was brand new and now look at it. It's destroyed but still together ! What kind of fish could do such damage ? This was on 6 lb. line and the fish was landed  by my son ! I personally have never seen anything like this ever !     ????

 Destroyed !
 

Crappie??

I've had muskies and pike do this to some balsa rapalas. Sometimes it is more caused by removing the hook. A couple times it was like that at the boat before I removed the hook.
I've repaired these with locktite 5 minute epoxy, some sanding, and nail polish over white oil primer. Just bend the wire back in position and fill the void with epoxy and sand to smooth. should take multiple coats and give it about a day to dry after final epoxy coat before final sand. 

Striper?  Wiper?

Bowfin or snagged carp

Wiper or a bowfin? Was the lure previously banged off a rock or something and possibly cracked?

carp

  Have had many "NEW" lures destroyed by both Byrds & Cats. Not much of a problem with lures that have already landed a few fish though. There must be toothie critters about with that leader on the lure even with only 6llb. test so that could be a good clue also.
 
crappy

im saying a musky by how bent up the hooks are.  

I watched the guy land this fish. It was a musky, However I wont say where or exactly how big it was.
