In a shocking incident, a Canadian woman who was swimming in a lake found herself being attacked by a muskellunge fish, otherwise known as a muskie. According to reports, Kim Driver has been left in complete shock after the incident. Muskellunge fish are said to be able to grow to lengths of 6 feet and can weigh close to 50 pounds.
Canadian Woman dragged underwater by fish
As per reports, the incident occurred while Driver and her husband were enjoying an outing at the North Star Village along the Winnipeg River near Minaki, Ontario. While speaking to media, Kim’s husband, Terry stated that while they were enjoying their outing his wife suddenly started screaming that someone had got her leg and then was suddenly pulled underwater. At that moment Terry has claimed that he just stood there in total disbelief and shock because he did not know what was going on.
According to reports, the muskellunge fish managed to grab Kim’s leg in its jaws and moved it several times side to side. The fish’s movements resulted in a large chuck on flesh from Kim’s leg, running from her ankle to knee to be torn away. The couple was helped by people in the vicinity after the ordeal and while they have been left stunned by the incident, they reportedly now plan to seek revenge against the fish that attacked Kim.
