  • Should be rated explicit

    I can’t listen with my kids in the car. Show has gotten more and more vulgar. That might be what some listeners like but it’s not for me. Update: when other listens shared the same concern, they were made fun of. Also, there are a lot of fake reviews propping up this rating. Find a different show.

    Quite a bit of nonsense and musky shop product promotion but can be informative and good for a laugh. Herbeck is a particularly good guest on here. I feel bad for Jay sometimes, ha ha. Steve is a good podcast host.

  • Very Informative

    Love the show fellas. Long time bass fisherman who’s decided to chase muskies as of June this year. Listening to your masterclasses has opened my eyes. Both structure masterclasses have hands down been the most informative/instructional podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Thank you

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

345: Hunting Mega Muskies with Dr. Bob
Q: How do you interpret the idea of megas traveling in pairs or in a 'milk run' of movement?
Megas appear to move in patterns that resemble patrols, with occasional pairings and cross-basin movements; the lake's structure and forage availability shape these movements and create the opportunities for a bite.
345: Hunting Mega Muskies with Dr. Bob
Q: What patterns or factors do you think are most important for megas to be caught?
They seem to require a combination of maximum depth, highly complex structure, and proximity to forage; without forage, even the best structure can be an empty gesture, and timing relative to fronts matters a lot.
343: Musky Patterning and Dialing In
Q: What leaders are you using for vertical jigging and why?
The hosts prefer straight wire leaders or multi-strand wire leaders over fluoro for vertical jigging because fluoro can fail under bite-offs; they also emphasize avoiding tubes and snaps for vertical jigs due to head-on drops and binding issues.
341: Up North Madness
Q: I'm a beginner Musky Angler and I've not caught a lot of muskies. What would be some of the best baits to throw?
The hosts advise building a complete game plan with tools for shallow, mid, and deep presentations across a range of bait families (rubber, crankbaits, topwater, jigs, and divers), and emphasize not over-relying on a single bait but ensuring you have a well-rounded setup and the ability to adapt to depth and water conditions.
330: Crushing Spring Cold Fronts
Q: Brandon, when should I use a jointed crankbait versus a straight crankbait in the summer when fishing shallow weeds or rocks?
Jointed crankbaits offer more visual wobble at slower speeds and can be better when fish are active or when you need more erratic action; straight crankbaits provide quicker depth and simpler timing and are often the default unless you're targeting a specific, more cooperative bite pattern. In practice, try both to see which the fish respond to on a given day, but prioritize straight cranks when depth control and faster coverage are needed.
