Muskies are big and full of toxic contaminants! Bioaccumulation is real

  these long-lived, slow-growing, top-of-the-line predators can accumulate contaminants such as mercury or PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). So, WDNR recommends that women of childbearing age and children under 15 do not eat muskies. Men (and older women) should only eat 1 meal per month, (and no more than 6 meals per year from Green Bay)

That's why I stopped fishing while in high school.
