Musky facts

While the average size of muskie is somewhere between 30 and 40 inches and 10 and 20lb, this large apex predator can reach a length of more than 60 inches and a weight of up to 70lb. 

Juveline musky mainly feed on minnows and smaller shad, while adult musky primarily eat both shads, suckers, and ciscoes. They do, however, not shy away from bigger prey, such as walleye or pike, and manage to devour fish that are roughly half their own body size.
