Moonlight MUSKY Madness

I was lifting the super-sized topwater lure out of the water at the end of a half-hearted figure eight when the fish struck. The moon had just risen above the treetops, and he had slunk in, undetected, in the dark water, surprising me. Startled just short of a heart attack, I set the hook based more on fear than anything and now the big fish thrashed his head against the bow of the kayak. As I struggled to find the free spool and thumb the reel, the musky cartwheeled on 3 feet of line. A second later, I could just make out the rear treble hook tearing out of the musky's bony upper lip.

FUR-FISH-GAME Magazine Description:

America's #1 magazine for Practical Outdoorsmen since 1925. Our articles are written to instruct and entertain, by real life, everyday outdoorsmen who hunt, fish and trap year-round. Fact is we cover a greater variety of outdoor pursuits than any other magazine. We hunt rabbits and squirrels as well as turkey and deer. Pick mushrooms and other wild edibles for the dinner table. Yes, we love to catch lunker bass and trout. But we also run trot lines for catfish in the summer and harvest ginseng in the fall. We give you all the best how-to advice for your self-guided hunts. We cover it all and we keep it real. No exotic safaris or peacock bass fishing in Brazil. Our stories are always close to home, geared towards true practical everyday outdoorsmen.
