Muskellunge
Category Musky/Pike
Species Muskellunge
Scientific Name Esox masquinongy
Other Names Musky, Lunge
Freshwater Yes
Saltwater No
Habitat Juvenile fish tend to frequent shallow vegetated areas, while larger adults are equally at home roaming open water. Hybridization between muskellunge and northern Pike is common, with the offspring referred to as tiger muskies.  Where pike and muskellunge exist together, adult muskellunge tend to have a competitive advantage in areas with some current.
Size In most parts of the country catching a 50 inch fish is considered a mark of excellence, but it's the potential for monsters in excess of 60 inches that fuels the dreams of many die-hard musky fanatics.
Record 69 lbs 11 oz
Angling Qualities The strikes are often crushing, followed by short, strong runs and powerful headshakes.
