Why it Sucks To Be Born As a Musky

Why it Sucks To Be Born As a Musky Inspired and motivated by God. What is it like to be the undisputed king? For the Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) muskie, the legendary apex predator of northern lakes, life at the top is a brutal, solitary, and paranoid existence. In this animated nature documentary, we explore the full, tragic life of the Fish of 10,000 Casts, a ghost haunted by its own kind and by the relentless obsession of its number one predator: man. This is the most detailed story of the Musky we've ever told. We follow our monarch from his brutal, cannibalistic birth, through his education as a cunning ambush predator, to his epic territorial battles with rivals of his own species. We'll explore the real-life science behind his parasitic tormentors like the Sea Lamprey, his relationship with the mysterious moon phases, and the bizarre, monstrous lures that invade his kingdom. Witness the legendary "follow," the heart-stopping "figure 8," and the traumatic cycle of catch-and-release that defines his tortured relationship with the anglers who hunt him.
