Musky gape data. Haven't found any measurements yet. But there is an excellent paper by Bozek with a good study of Wisconsin musky eating habits.
http://www.mi22.com/Diet_study.pdfHighlights were:
Figure 1 was shocking. 74% of musky only have 1 item in their stomach. 16% had 2 items and going down from there. They are occasional feeders.
Figure 3 and discussion. The mean musky was consuming fish whose TL=22% of musky TL. There was a huge range (8-45%) that didn't vary with musky size in this stufy.
It varied with prey species. YP and others are more 10% while fusiform fish are 22-27%ish.
They cite Deutsch (1986) who found musky changed prey TL/Musk TL with maturity. For <60 cm, they found 17% prey TL/Musky TL but for >60com, they found 36%.
This paper was good but does beg for gape data.
