Fat A.Z. Musky Podcast

Rods n Reels, the brutality of social media

Andy, Vance and Todd discuss rods and reels. Andy tries to explain why gear ratio isn't the determining factor in how fast a reel is. Then we switch gears and talk about two items that sort of took flight in the past day or so online. One being a glove thread on M1 (thanks gear man for pointing it out) The other a video a person posted of their first musky, that shows all the common rookie mistakes, and how quickly this kids moment of excitement and joy can be ripped down by people pointing out the obvious mistakes that just about every one in musky fishing has done. Thanks for listening

Patrick from Nittany Valley Musky Alliance

Patrick is the president of the Nittany Valley Musky Alliance, which is a chapter of Muskie Inc located in the center of Pennsylvania. It is a fairly new chapter of Muskie Inc, but is doing heading up some projects that draw from a large area. We discuss the Beast of the East fly fishing tournament. Talked a little of last years event, brought up some changes to this years event. Pretty cool stuff so any anglers who like to chase musky with a fly rod should at least check it out. In the mix we discuss Patrick's own journey in the musky world, places he has been, fish he caught, exchange some funny stories. Thanks for listening.n

Controversial Topics Episode 1: The Boga Grip

While prepping for this podcast we realized just how controversial just about every aspect of musky fishing is. Like most things in life once you start understanding the working of a process you also realize nothing is cut and dry, black and white, all bad or all good. So this podcast is all about the Boga Grip. Love them or hate them we hope people can listen with an open mind, there is a lot of good points to ponder in this show. We are not recording these shows to beat our chests saying that what ever we say is the final word, these are our opinions. We would love to hear if you think we got it wrong, we encourage discussion. We are here to learn as well. Get in touch with us, good or bad. Thanks for listening

Deep Thoughts....By Cory Allen

We have guest Cory Allen from TVMA (listen and you will understand) We talk about musky fishing in Tennessee, his theories of catching musky, his spot of Musky Hunter TV, potential C&R record, his love of music, choice of food, why Tennessee is great, the Pharmacy, spot on Harry Carry impressions, comic books and movie references to shake a stick at. All while he sits in a church parking lot to get reception and still manages to drop our call.

Ohio show recap, snowmobiles, Todds icefishing

Andy and Todd talk about the Ohio Musky Show. Vance went snowmobiling over the weekend. The guys pass around their own stories. Todd gave his ice fishing report from last week.

Ohio Musky Show

Andy and Todd sit down with a few vendors at the Ohio Musky Show.

Gear man Steve, Steelhead, "The Musky King", and a turn no one expected.

Gear Man Steve phones in to listen to Todd, Vance, and Andy tell the steel head fishing trip. Let it be known it was Vance's and Andy's first time fishing for steel head. "The Musky King" chapter has been opened, and he is coming at Vance. Then the podcast bus takes a hard turn down a road that was not on the map. No describing it. FatAZMusky.com MCFishNGuides.com

Mike Kickel joins us in the polebarn

Mike is a complex blend of new to musky fishing, expert on just about all other freshwater fish, and excitableness. You need to listen to understand, so I will stop trying. The cover art is the "Spinnerbait" it is brought up a couple times. Thank You for listening.

Trips to Canada part 2, and trolling motor gear review

Andy starts off with a very short, mildly eventful fishing report, then the guys move onto something a little less depressing... Todd and Vance talk about more past trips to Canada. We wrap up the show with a gear review, we talk trolling motors. The good the bad, our experiences. We have been trying to start up "Gear Reviews" for several weeks we final was able to do this one. It isnt a buyers guide, just what we have owned and what we thought of them. Thank You

Fish curses, Dead muskies, Show season

Its getting to be show season soon. The guys talk about the shows they will be at, and talk about shows in general. Andy gives a brief fishing report that takes flight into a dead musky discussion. Ethics on dead fish, what would you do if you had a legal fish die, creel limits and the dilemma or right vs wrong. Then Andy thinks he has a curse on him that stemmed this whole conversation. Also let it be known, Andy does not hold a spinning reel upside down. This was part of a story, I just don't want any emails over it. HA FatAZMusky.com MCFishNGuides.com
