    Amazing video! I've been fortunate to fish Cave Run every April in the PMTT and all I can say is that it is one of the most breathtaking fisheries I have had the honor to fish. Thank you for your continued efforts!

    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME
    “COHO” SALMON EXPERIMENTS IN LAKE MICHIGAN
    The “Coho”, not being a native of the Lake Michigan water, has experienced difficulty in surviving. The female, when going up the Lake Michigan feeder streams, has been losing her roe on the rocky stream bottoms, and when she has gotten far enough up stream into the small pools and inlets, has had great difficulty getting back into the main stream over the sand bars to return to Lake Michigan tributaries, which caused an odor problem.
    The Michigan sportsman decided to crossbreed the “Coho” with the native “Walleye” for two reasons: 1. The Walleye knew Lake Michigan tributaries and 2. The Walleye was not prone to lose the roe while going up stream.
    Hence the name “COWAL”. This experiment back-fired because the fighting “COHO” mixed with the rather sluggish Walleye has lost most of the fight the “COHO” was noted for.
    In a further experiment, they crossed the “COWAL” with the greatest fresh water fighter in North America: the “MUSKIE” in an effort to make this double crossbreed the top American game fish. They named this hybrid the “COWALSKI” and now they are trying to teach the dumb son of a bitch to swim.
    This is a good natured joke/story which is sometimes told in some of the family bars in Hamtramck. “Na Zdowie” to all the fine folks who feel so passionately about this marvelous wonder of nature, muskellunge (Esox masquinongy).

    when musky populate an area they're offspring spread and search for territory, for they are very territorial, a healthy river system can stock many tributaries, great lakes for example.

    At 3:25+, the comment "Getting some air flowing through the lungs..." floored me!
    I wrote my research paper for Fishery Management class at the University of Montana on the muskellunge (B.S. Wildlife Biology Aquatic Option 1978). Since that time, I mainly worked on stream and lake habitat assessment, plus a stint on a life history study of southern Idaho's Snake River population of white sturgeon.

      There are no musky in the UK.
      Musky only exist throughout a range in North America.
      Anything you're catching in the UK is a pike.
