The Maskinongé, also known as Muskellunge or Musky is one of the hardest fish to catch and is mainly caught for sport. They live for about 30 years, therefore the one I caught was probably as old as me .They are literally monsters of the shallow waters. What impressed me the most is how close from a beach bloated with people I captured my biggest fish ever. The beast was 47 inches long, had a 20 inch belly and weighed approximately 25 pounds. Some people fish for weeks before landing a fish this size. The fight was great, trying to get loose the fish jumped completely out of the water and swam away after a few minutes it got tired and diminished its aggressiveness. I won, kissed it goodbye and let it swim away.
