We were night fishing for walleye in 22' of water over a river current that runs through the lake. All of a sudden my partner asks me to look at his hole. As I looked over there is the head of a huge eelpout staring at me.

Five minutes later, in the house next to us, I hear a yelp from the missy. Same thing happened to her.

Now I have been entertained by a muskrat popping up to visit in a spear hole. I have even been half dozing to be suprised by a black lab thrashing in my spear hole (Seems it dived into the hole of the next house over trying to pounce on a northern that was coming in.) That is a whole story in its own right.

I have never experienced this behavior from a eelpout. Has this happened to anybody else?

Wow!
That is interesting that you post that. I just returned from a 3 day adventure on Lake of the Woods and experienced something similar. Throughout the day on Friday we noticed our vexilar transducers moving a bit in the hole a few times through the day and passed it off as nothing. As it started again later in the day my friend pulled up the transducer to have it followed up by a large curious eelpout. He grabbed the pout by the lip and pulled it out of the hole. This is not a joke either!
