muskies
Great Lakes lunkers
Muskies is the plural of muskie, a large freshwater fish native to North American lakes and rivers.
The muskellunge—its formal name—is prized by anglers for its size and the difficulty of catching it: We spent three days on the lake without landing any muskies.
The fish can exceed fifty pounds.
