I am excited to announce the release of my latest book, Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute.
Building on the foundation of my first book, Next Level Musky Fishing, this new release takes a deeper, more system-driven approach to helping musky anglers elevate their game on the water. It is designed to move beyond theory and into execution—giving anglers the tools to read conditions, make better decisions, and ultimately put more muskies in the net.
Below is the official press release for Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute.
Cheers,

STEVEN PAUL RELEASES MUSKY IQ: ANALYZE & EXECUTE — A SYSTEM FOR MODERN MUSKY ANGLERS
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Acclaimed musky authority, international award-winning lure designer, and professional musky fishing guide Steven Paul has released his highly anticipated second book, Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute, a no-nonsense, system-driven approach to understanding and catching muskies at a higher level.
Following the success of his debut book Next Level Musky Fishing, Paul returns with an intense, focused, and unapologetically direct message. Most anglers are not failing due to lack of effort. They are failing due to misreads, assumptions, tactical misapplications, and ultimately, human error.
Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute confronts that reality head-on.
Recognized as one of the most respected voices in musky fishing, Paul is a USCG licensed captain and owner of Tennessee Musky Fishing Guide Service (www.TennesseeMuskyFishing.com). He is the current Tennessee State Record holder for musky, co-owner of Musky 360, host of Musky Shop TV, and a contributing writer for Field & Stream and Great Lakes Angler Magazine. He also hosts the Musky 360 Podcast, widely regarded as the leading podcast in musky fishing.
In this new release, Paul strips away myth and replaces it with a disciplined framework built on real-world experience. The book delivers a proven system for breaking down environments, reading musky behavior, and executing with precision under actual fishing conditions.
Rather than telling anglers what to do, Paul teaches them how to think clearly, decisively, and correctly in the moment.
At its core, Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute is built to eliminate guesswork. Integrated field guides isolate key variables, simplify decision-making, and provide streamlined solutions that anglers can apply immediately on the water.
No fluff. No recycled tactics. Just a system designed to convert opportunity into results.
From environmental interpretation and behavioral triggers to structure analysis and execution timing, the book connects the dots in a way that allows anglers to operate with intent instead of instinct.
This is not a beginner’s guide. It is a playbook for anglers who are ready to remove guesswork, dial in, and fish with precision.
Paul, a third-generation musky angler, is also one of the most influential lure designers in the industry. As a member of the Livingston Lures Pro Staff, he has designed a wide range of musky lures including the Titan, Titan Jr., Magnus, Kraken, Banshee, Critter, Menace, Kamakaze, Big Makk, and Mustang, along with the Blade Planer board system.
With musky fisheries expanding and angler pressure increasing across North America, Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute arrives at a critical time—offering a smarter, more disciplined path forward for serious anglers.
Musky IQ: Analyze & Execute will be released for sale to the public via The Musky Shop at www.muskyshop.com.
