barren river muskie

[ESOX2009]

My son and I went muskie fishing out on the river this evening and he caught and released this 39 inch male muskie. It put up a good fight and seemed happy to swim away after getting its picture taken...

How do you distinguish between male and female?

How do you distinguish between male and female?

The urogenital region of an adult female resembles the shape of a pear, while the opening resembles a keyhole on an adult male. From:
