Hi to all!
I'm an Italian fishing-maniac ;-) who resides in Chicago and who doesn't
enjoy little fishes (I always like aiming to medium/big fishes).

Yesterday I went fishing in an harbor in Chicago downtown, just for
trying various lures I bought at BPS and studying how they work when
suddenly I saw a beautiful and relaxed 6pound like Muskie resting 3 feet
under the surface.
I casted far the lure I had at the moment, a Martin Panther like spinner
and I achieved to make him aggressive speeding my reel and flipping with
my wrist, he chased my lure and he tried to bite the spinner twice
softly, not in a determined and hard way.
Then he saw me and he went slowly away. I tried a lot o other lures but
unusefully and I can't imagine what I wronged, if I wronged anything.

You may not have done anything wrong. Muskies, Pike, Pickerel members of
that family
sometimes will follow a lure, sometimes hit it not seriously as if they are
doing it more out of habit
and instinct rather than hunger. This is especially true at mid-day. I
suppose some experts might suggest if anyrthing that you might have made
more noise and splash to aggravate the fish under those circumstances.
Maybe.
BTW I think a 6 lb muskie is small for those fish and certainly undersized,
although you probably would
have had fun catching it.
