Musky or Muskie...

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

You guessed it, naturally it's not writen in stone but musky is American and muskie is Canadian mostly.

I like muskie better because I like to catch muskies not muskys. LOL
Catch and release them all

Muskie - Big fish, narly teeth, top predator..

Musky - The smell in your grandmothers house, the stench between your toes..

Musky is what your drawers smell like after catching a big Muskie.

Good one Trophy and very very true Monster.
If you catch a muskie it could smell musky.
