    One of my favorite fishing memories is when I was casting from the bank at dusk and there was a solitary man fishing from his boat on the lake. I heard splashing and it was just barely light enough to see the monster muskie he had pulled in. He let out laughter and a "woo hoo" that was some of the purest human joy I have ever heard. I was so happy for that guy. I still am.

    This was my favourite build to date, that's a gorgeous bait. By the way, additional fun muskie fact - In Muskie systems where Pike are introduced, musky recruitment significantly drops. Pike spawn about 2 weeks earlier and in similar habitats, so what happens is all the juvenile pike will predate the juvenile muskies.

    Is it me or is the carving with the knife super satisfying

    Musky are great fun to catch! Two fish stories, my grandfather caught a 58 inch Musky in Wisconsin decades ago and it hung in a bar on the lake for nearly 30 years, beautiful fish. On that same lake, my sister caught a small Northern and while reeling it in a Musky took a chuck out of it. We have a picture of a 16 ish inch northern with a chunk missing on it's underbelly, they are very much predators in the water.
