Muskellunge are often referred to as muskie or musky. Muskie anglers have their own niche in the fishing community. It takes a unique angler to have the patience and perseverance to consistently target muskie. Muskie are known as the fish “of a thousand casts.” At times, even experienced anglers will get skunked, but then again, it is also possible to land several muskies on a single outing if everything goes right.
