I don't know of any other songs about fishing for muskellunge.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Forty acres we did row across the Forty Acre shoals
We were singing river songs, searching’ for the muskelunge
Row Forty Acres row 2X

Verse 2:
We were singing river songs, Searching’ for the muskelunge
Row Forty Acres row 2X

Verse 3:
It was Forty Acres I dreamed all night, of this mornin’ comin’ bright
Silver spoons dropping’ down, trollin’ for the muskelunge
Row forty acres row 2X

Verse 4:
If spray and water is all I am, out here I”m a happy man
See how my life has gone, driven by the muskelunge
Row Forty Acres row 2X

Verse 5:
It was daybreak when she struck and then we ran the white flag up
Row forty acres row 2X
She was a brave one strong one true and all my life I wanted you
Row forty acres row 2X

Verse 5:
See how my life has gone, driven by the muskelunge
Row forty acres row 2X
