Never seen a Muskie, except in pictures. I did used to have a great St. Croix Premier Graphite rod that I beleive was made for Muskie fishing. I used it as an inshore saltwater rod for blues and stripers.
Hope you hook up with one of those toothy monsters!

If you've seen a 47" northern you have a pretty good idea of what a muskie is like. I grew up in northern Minnesota. I miss fishing. Nothing like trolling along on a nice day. Northerns and crappies were my favorite. I did quite a bit of crappie and bass fishing when I lived in Alabama, too.
