Northern Minnesota's Premier Guided Musky Fishing Experience -

If you’re ready to chase trophy muskies in the heart of Northern Minnesota, you’ve come to the right place. I’m Jon Freund, a full-time musky fishing guide with years of experience fishing some of the most productive and scenic lakes across the Minnesota Northwoods.


I specialize in guided musky fishing trips designed for serious anglers who want to learn, improve, and land the fish of a lifetime. Whether you’re a first-time musky hunter or a seasoned pro, I’ll tailor your trip to fit your skill level and goals — always focusing on safe, professional, and conservation-minded fishing.

Fishing with me isn’t about luck — it’s about knowledge, precision, and respect for the resource. My guiding philosophy is built around:


  • Minnesota DNR-approved conservation practices
  • Expert instruction in musky behavior, casting, and retrieval techniques
  • Access to Northern Minnesota’s best musky lakes
  • A commitment to ethical catch-and-release fishing


Each guided trip is a chance to learn proven musky patterns, explore beautiful Northern lakes, and test your skills against one of freshwater’s most powerful apex predators.

Monster Musky!


It’s a feeling like absolutely no other when all the long hours put in studying, analyzing, and trying new things come together to produce a fish of this caliber.


What a night out on the water, and what a memory.

TESTIMONIALS

"Finally, after 8 years of Musky fishing, and catching over 70+ fish, I finally joined the 50" club with this absolute tank. 50.5. Never thought I would do it at 2 a.m. in the rain and 40 degrees outside. First time sharing a boat with Jon Freund and we made it happen.
