muskie

Great Lakes predator

Muskie is a large freshwater fish native to North American lakes and rivers, prized by anglers for its size and fighting spirit.

Short for muskellunge, it's the largest member of the pike family, with sharp teeth and an elongated body.

Muskies are notoriously difficult to catch, earning the nickname "the fish of ten thousand casts." He finally landed a muskie after years of trying.
