Muskie: The fish of 10,000 casts
https://oodmag.com/muskie-the-fish-of-10000-casts/
A personal-best muskie after hours of driving, over a thousand casts, and a moment that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.
-- "The Circus Animals’ Desertion" by William Butler Yeats

Great article. I can remember the Muskie being called that 6-70 years ago when I was just getting first interested in fishing. Took me about 15 years and probably at least that many casts to finally catch one.
The article brought back some good memories.
