Musky are top predators in the freshwater lakes and rivers they inhabit, and they fight like a freight train when hooked. They can grow up to 60 inches long and weigh more than 50 pounds, making them a formidable opponent for any angler. I’ve spent countless hours casting and trolling for musky with many unsuccessful trips, but the times I’ve hooked one have been some of the most exhilarating moments of my life.
