A candid sit-down with Minnesota's own Seth Feider, one of the most respected anglers on the Bassmaster Elite Series, covering everything from northern bass fishing to life on the road. This conversation goes beyond surface-level tactics and gets into how fishing is evolving, what's driving the next generation of anglers, and what still matters when it comes to consistently catching fish.
In this episode, Ryan DeChaine provides insight on how gear, organization, and system-based thinking separate average anglers from highly efficient ones. Drawing from his experience working with top brands, rigging boats, and learning directly from some of the best anglers in the world, Ryan shares a practical framework that holds up on the water.
Jason Freed of Leisure Outdoor Adventures shares big water walleye lessons learned from years of guiding on Minnesota's largest lakes. From finding fish with side imaging to fishing jigs, slip bobbers, live bait, reefs, weeds, sand, and structure, this conversation is packed with practical tips for catching walleyes on big lakes.
Jarrid Houston joins the Angling Buzz crew to break down one of the most unique fisheries in the Midwest: the St. Louis River Estuary and Lake Superior's South Shore. From shallow-water walleye trolling and jigging tactics to sturgeon, muskies, cohos, current, boat control, and changing walleye regulations, this episode is packed with insight from a guide who knows the system inside and out.
Jeremy Smith sits down with Baylor Short to discuss the Leech Lake Muskie Movement and Survival Study, a research project tracking how muskies move, what habitats they use, and how angling pressure may affect survival. Baylor shares early findings from acoustic-tagged muskies, including long-distance movement, seasonal habitat shifts, open-water behavior, forward-facing sonar concerns, and what anglers can do to help protect the future of Leech Lake muskies.
Paddle tail swimbaits might be one of the most versatile lures in freshwater fishing. In this episode, we sit down with Caleb Wistad of hookedupwi to break down how he fishes swimbaits for walleye, bass, crappie, pike, trout, lake trout, salmon, and just about anything else that eats baitfish. Caleb shares how he got started in fishing media, how hookedupwi grew from Instagram into a full-time YouTube channel, and why attention to detail makes such a big difference on the water. From there, we dive deep into soft plastic paddle tail swimbaits, including body shape, tail action, jig head selection, hook size, line choice, rod setups, retrieve styles, and color selection. We cover when to use subtle swimming action versus heavy thump, how water clarity affects swimbait choice, why many anglers fish swimbaits too light, and how heavier jig heads can help keep your bait in the strike zone. Caleb also explains his favorite retrieve for blind-casting swimbaits for walleye, plus how he rigs them for weeds, wood, deep water, trolling, drop shotting, and even line-through setups. Whether you are chasing walleyes on weed edges, crappies in open water, bass around cover, trout in streams, or lake trout on big water, this conversation is packed with practical swimbait fishing tips you can use right away.
What really goes into creating great fishing in Minnesota? In this episode, we sit down with a Minnesota DNR fisheries biologist, Scott MacKenthun, to break down how fish populations are managed and what anglers often misunderstand about stocking walleyes, pike, and muskies. We dive deep into the science behind hatcheries, including a massive new $24 million facility in Waterville that's set to modernize fish production in the state. From raising stronger fish to improving survival rates, this is the future of fisheries management. You'll also learn why some lakes thrive with natural reproduction while others rely heavily on stocking and why throwing more walleyes into a lake isn't always the answer.
Where does your Minnesota fishing license money actually go? How are fisheries, hatcheries, public accesses, and conservation work funded? And how does all of that connect to the proposed 4-fish walleye limit? In this episode, we sit down with Mark Holsten, former Minnesota legislator, former DNR commissioner, and current executive director of MN-Fish, for a deep dive into how natural resource funding and fisheries management really work in Minnesota.
