Musky are legendary!  The muskie is the state fish of Wisconsin since 1955 and Boulder Jct. is the "Musky Capitol of the World".  The average muskellunge lifespan is up to 20 years long and can swim up to 30 mph.  With big sharp teeth and a large mouth, they will attack any moving creature. This includes all lake creatures, other fish and small animals, basically anything they can fit down their throat, including northern pike! They communicate with each other through smell, through releasing chemicals and by touch. The tiger muskellunge is a cross-bred fish between the northern pike and the muskie.  In the year 1949, a muskie fish that weighed 67 lb 8 oz set the heaviest and largest muskellunge world record!  Good luck fishing for one of the big boys!
