I’ve known muskies to do something similar- swim around at the surface with their head out of the water.
I remember looking into it, and it’s definitely a thing, but no one seems to know why exactly they do it. There’s a few theories that have to do with the oxygen concentration at the surface, regulating temperature, buoyancy, etc. but the one I personally like to subscribe to is the same as this, that they’re just looking around.
It makes me feel a little less bad about not being able to catch one if they’re at least more intelligent and curious than the average bass or bluegill or whatever else I’m pulling out of their lake.
Lookin fer’ birds to eat.

Muskies are basically freshwater sharks.
So, gonna go with… probably looking for a duck to eat, or something.
Orcas do it too
One of the few dangerous shark for humans is the Bull Shark, they are very agressive and really attack everything, also humans. Even Spielberg regret the damage made by his Shark movie, relating the white shark as agressive killer monster, it isn’t.
Plenty of people swim with bullsharks and hand feed them. Sharks are dangerous when you act like easy prey. Easy prey bleeds, it struggles, and it turns away from the predator to flee. That white shark didn’t bite Valerie Taylor because there was easier food, and she was aware of the shark.
Check the link for what happens when you act like prey around these animals. (Trigger warning : shark attack, if it wasn’t obvious)
He’s got an eye on where you are as well as where you could flee to (If you were normal prey). Casing the joint lol
Dun-uhn…
