    These guys sound like two guys on the ice fishing. It’s a fun show to listen to when driving to work wishing you were on the way to a lake with your gear in the back and a fishing buddy in the truck beside you

    Thanks for the information guys and the entertainment.

While walleye is the general choice, spearing is ultimately his favorite.
