  • Too clear

    Excellent episode boys. Thanks for introducing these amazing documentaries to us. I just watched all 3. I gotta say the first 2 had me feeling a little down but episode 3 brought me back to feeling positive. And the footage was incredible. I can’t believe they actually discovered sculpin! And the trout porn was amazing 😂

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 246: LiveScope vs. No LiveScope: Should Tournaments Split?
Q: What is the live and the non-live? What does that mean?
Racine explains that anglers can register for a LiveScope or a no-LiveScope division. Each has its own competitors and championship, and prize money varies with registration numbers.
Episode 246: LiveScope vs. No LiveScope: Should Tournaments Split?
Q: Why would somebody not just go out and buy a boat?
Racine says many customers could afford to buy but prefer the convenience: the boat arrives ready for the season, and the company picks it up afterward.
Episode 245: Why Walleye Ignore Your Bait on LiveScope
Q: How often do we limit ourselves by fishing a bait the way we're supposed to, and are there everyday baits anglers are overlooking?
The hosts describe unconventional successes, including trolling a Senko for walleye, swimming a plastic worm like a spinnerbait, using a bladed jig as a bottom jig, and vertically dropping a Johnson Silver Minnow into vegetation. They encourage anglers to experiment rather than treat a lure's intended use as a rule.
Episode 243: Fertile Grass Carp in Ontario? How Worried Should We Be...
Q: Is that the best thing that anglers can do for you right now? Or is there something else that we can be doing?
Tugade says anglers can provide extra eyes on the water, learn to distinguish grass carp from common carp, report suspected fish to the hotline or by email, and not release a captured fish.
Episode 243: Fertile Grass Carp in Ontario? How Worried Should We Be...
Q: What's the tally to date of the number of grass carp that we have physical evidence of in Canada and how many of those are fertile?
Tugade reports 39 fish captured and processed since 2012: 24 sterile, 13 fertile and two of unknown status because they were found dead on shore.
