Muskie's today, face many difficulties in surviving. Previous over fishing is among the most devastating problems. Many of you out there probably dream about having a large muskie hanging on your wall. For those of you out their that don't think this way, you are helping preserve the future muskie populations. It is now possible to take a picture and some measurements of a muskie and get an identical wall-mount and that great muskie will only get bigger.

Pollution also plays a main role in the muskie's declining numbers. The Honda 4-stroke engines releases virtually no fuel emissions.

Another problem that muskie's commonly face is that their eggs are not sticky. This creates reproductive problems. If eggs fall into a crevice, they will not get enough sunlight to hatch properly. Their eggs can also be carried away by currents into water that is too deep for them to survive and hatch.

Other fish species will eat muskie eggs and fry. The most threatening of these species is the northern pike. Pike's eggs hatch a couple of weeks before the muskie's, giving them a size advantage for the most delicate stage in a young muskie's life.
