About this episode

The episode features a discussion on walleye fishing and an interview with Owen Wilcox about the National Walleye Tour on Lake Erie.

We've got a full squad back in the studio this week and the boys are hyped. Sobi and Pink give the deets on how the newly opened Catch and Release season is going and we dive into Bart's Toyota Series event on Kentucky Lake. Then we have on, friend of the program, Owen Wilcox. Owen gives us an inside look at how the NWT on Lake Erie went down, we dive into a bunch of different walleye topics, and we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about Elk briefly with him.
