Thread: Freshwater musky comparable to a saltwater ???

If you get one to strike right at the boat with 6' of line it then it is an experience to remember but it doesn't last long as the fish tire out pretty fast. They are a beautiful fish and ones in the 50" class are truly the wolves of the freshwater lakes back in Kentucky where I grew up. Still, can't hold a candle to a king, big cuda is a good analogy. They're more of a sprinter than a marathon runner. I've never had a muskie fight long enough to catch a second wind like a big king will on a long fight. All muscle, all up front and then they are just weight until you net them. Then they stink up your boat like none other. I'll never have on on the boat carpet again.

This is the last one I caught in KY while crappie fishing 2 years ago.
