#59 || Dr. Jereme Gaeta: Big Fish Don't Eat Big Fish (Most of the Time)
Think giant walleyes, muskies, bass and pike spend their days chasing giant meals? Think again. In one of the largest predator-prey studies ever assembled, fisheries scientist Dr. Jereme Gaeta analyzed more than 9,000 fish stomachs and over 22,000 prey fish from lakes across North America. What he discovered stunned us. Even the biggest predators spend most of their lives feeding on prey far smaller than most anglers imagine. In fact, much of the forage consumed by trophy-size fish measures o...

#58 || Dr. Derrick de Kerckhove: The Conveyor Belt Effect - Why Windy Days Create Fish Buffets
Most anglers think that the wind simply pushes baitfish around the lake. But what if the fish aren’t just drifting with the current? What if they actually know where the food is going to be? In this fascinating episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. Derrick (Dak) de Kerckhove reveals his groundbreaking research from Algonquin Park’s legendary Lake Opeongo that shows how sustained winds create underwater conveyor belts that concentrate plankton, attract ciscoes and ultimately draw hungry lake trou...

#56 || Dr. Sean Landsman: Muskies in the Abyss - The Science Behind Open-Water Giants
For decades, we've cast muskies as shadows lurking in the weeds. Ambush predators waiting to pounce on our baits. But what if everything we thought we knew about these apex fish is only half the story? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Sean Landsman pulls back the curtain on a hidden world where giant fish roam the open water, suspending over deep basins, hunting in ways that challenge what we thought was gospel. Drawing on cutting-edge telemetry and firsthand observations, Sean reveals how th...

#55 || Dr. Allison Roth: Dark Water, Big Changes - How Browning Lakes Are Rewriting Fishing
If you've been on the water lately and thought your favourite lake looks darker than it used to... you're not imagining things. Lakes are quietly "browning" as dissolved organic carbon turns clear water into a tea-stained mystery-and it's changing fishing in ways anglers have never considered. In this fascinating episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. Allison Roth breaks down what browning water means for fish—and the answers will surprise you. Some species, like walleye and northern pike, are thr...

If you've ever wondered how to translate fish behaviour into m...

#53 || Dr. Connor Elliott: The Secret Life of Tournament Bass - What Science Just Revealed
How old is the biggest bass you've ever caught? If you fish Lake Ontario or the St. Lawrence River, the answer might surprise you. In this episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. Connor Elliott from Queen's University reveals that some tournament-caught smallmouth in this world-class fishery are more than 21 years old - fish that have been growing, surviving and feeding for over two decades. Using data from tournament mortalities, Connor explains why smallmouth here are outgrowing largemouth, and h...
