The muskie, or more formally, the muskellunge is a
game fish native to North America. It's scientific name, Esox masquinongy,
betrays its close relationship to the northern pike, Esox lucius,
which is found across the northern hemisphere. These and three other
species comprise the family Esocidae, all of which are top or terminal
predators in the waters they inhabit. The geographic range of the
muskie in North America is far more restricted than that of the
northern pike.
Indeed muskie inhabit only about one percent of North
America's fresh water. In the waters shared by the two species,
muskies tend to be outnumbered by pike. This comparative rarity
is one of the challenges of musky fishing. Another is their size
and fighting ability.
