Esox masquinongy. It is more popular by the names: musky, muskellunge, musky, muskie, maskinonge. Sought by many, caught by few muskie is told to be the fish of many many casts. Statistically it takes an average angler more than 50 hours to catch a legal muskellunge.

Ontario offers the best muskie fishing in the world! The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources reports, "Less than one per cent of the world's fresh water holds the mighty muskellunge and much of that water is in Ontario. The Canadian record is a 65 pounder, caught by Mr. Kenneth O'Brian right here in Ontario in 1988."

Being one of the most sought after trophy fish, topping the scale at 70 lbs muskie is a lean, mean fightin' machine. This ferocious member of the pike family is often known in fish stories as "the one that got away."
