As an accomplished bait designer through his partnership with Livingston Lures, Steven has created a unique line of musky lures dialed in to catch your target, such as the Kraken, Titan, Titan Jr., and Magnus. As well as a lure designer, he has also literally written the book on musky fishing with his book titled Next Level Musky Fishing, while also hosting a Podcast on Musky 360 and Musky Shop TV on Youtube.
The one and only Muskellunge is the main and only target of this charter. You’ll fish with a true master of the craft; Steven holds the state record for the beast and has the longest documented catch at 55 inches long. He’ll take you to one of more than 20 fishing spots he’s found over the years – they’re all top secret. Whether you want to learn how to catch a Musky or are looking for a trophy fish, he’s got the know-how to make your fishing day a lot of fun.
Only casting tackle is provided, so if want fly fish it’s recommended you bring your own equipment – It’s a special challenge to catch Musky on the fly. Kids aged 12 and above are more than welcome on board with Tennessee Musky Fishing, all life jackets are provided. Alcohol isn’t allowed on board.
All Muskies are strictly catch and release; releasing a trophy-sized Muskie ensures another angler can feel the same joy as you. Snacks, drinks, and lunch can be arranged, contact Steve before arriving to work out the details.

Cold front made for tough fishing, but we enjoyed our day and learned so much about muskie fishing. Well worth the long drive down.

Tennessee Musky Guided Trip on March 28, 2019
Steve was phenomenal, period. Went into a two day trip with high hopes and left with all expectations exceeded. He patiently went over safety and the basics with us and went to work putting us on fish on fish on fish. With Steve’s help I caught TWO musky y’all, TWO! It’s always a privilege to get to work under people who are truly passionate and talented at what they do. Steve has put in the time and grit to turn a sport into a lifestyle. Can’t wait to come back for another trip!

Tennessee Musky Guided Trip on October 11, 2018
What a great day! Within the first 2 hours we had 8 follows! 16 on the day - insane. Massive fish sightings all day. One was as big as me :) We slogged it out and even though we didn’t hook any we tried all kinds of speeds, bait sizes and tactics. I can’t wait to go back - I am certain we will get one next time. I can’t thank Steven enough for a truly memorable experience!
