Description
Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) is a North American species of pike. A top predator, muskellunge has a large stomach, which is why it can swallow prey the size of up to two-thirds of its body length. Rare incidents of attacks on humans have been documented. Its ferocity makes the "Muskie" a popular target of sport fishers looking to prove their prowess.
