With Muskie season upon us now it’s fun to remember the trophies of the past and the excitement it brings not only to the person catching the beast, but to everyone in the boat marveling at the aptly named fish of a thousand casts.

This video brings the thrill of a big muskie combined with the beauty of a topwater strike, the fact that it’s also in the 50″ class just adds to the excitement.

This is a fish of a lifetime with a visually stunning strike, we can only hope were all this lucky this year…
