After months of persistence, a teenager in Illinois finally caught his first muskie.

On June 17, Kaiden Schrieber, 15, of the Chicago area, caught a 50-inch muskellunge, or muskie, which is nicknamed "the fish of 10,000 casts" for how difficult it is to reel one in.
 

Kaiden, who has been fishing for most of his life, told Fox News Digital he’s had his eye on catching a muskie for several years, particularly for the challenge.

"They’re big, predatory fish," Kaiden, an upcoming junior in high school, said. "I really like the predatory fish."
