What is the difference between bass and muskie?

Bass and muskie are both popular game fish, but they belong to different families and have distinct characteristics. Bass, such as largemouth and smallmouth, are generally smaller, easier to catch, and known for their aggressive feeding behavior. Muskies, on the other hand, are larger, often reaching lengths of over 40 inches, and are known for their elusive nature and challenging catch. Additionally, muskies are part of the Esox family, which includes pike, while bass are part of the Centrarchidae family.
