Muskie Man

Alumacraft is proud to announce the release of Muskie Man, a captivating documentary that delves into the remarkable life of the one-and-only Larry Ramsell, an 82-year-old angler whose unwavering passion for muskie fishing has left an indelible mark on the angling community.

Through intimate storytelling, Muskie Man takes viewers on a journey through Larry’s extraordinary life. From his extensive writings and contested fishing records to the countless individuals he has inspired, this film celebrates the dedication and legacy of one of the sport’s true icons.

The film culminates in a thrilling expedition as Larry embarks on an almost 20-hour journey from his Wisconsin home to the St. Lawrence River in Montreal. Guided by renowned muskie legend Mike Lazarus and accompanied by his longtime friend Klaus, Larry sets his sights on one final dream: catching the world-record muskie.

“Muskie Man isn’t just a fishing story—it’s a journey into the ‘why.’ Why do anglers become so consumed by a fish and a way of fishing? This film dives into the heart of that obsession,” said Mitch Duesling of Alumacraft. “As a brand that shares the same obsession for craft and dedication to the water, we wanted to honor Larry’s incredible passion and contributions to the angling world, amplifying his story for the fishing community AND beyond.”

Muskie Man is slated to debut at select film festivals in early 2025, with a wide release planned for May 2025.
