Fish of the Week: Family muskie

SHARE Fish of the Week: Family muskie

Kyle Haniklanded a 43.5-inch, 25-pound muskie this summer on the Eagle River Chain in Wisconsin.

The 10-year old from Oak Forest was fishing with his dad Matthew Hanik and using a topwater popper on a baitcaster.

That is a good way to get hooked on muskies.
