Thanks to our sponsors:

On this week’s podcast Bret Amundson and Dan Amundson are back from Punta Gorda, Florida, and they recap their amazing fishing trip. They talk about the giant bucket list fish they got to chase, where they stayed and more. They even check in with Pat Kalmerton while he’s in the boat on the Niagara River so he can give his two cents about the Florida fishing trip. The guys also preview the Minnesota fishing opener happening this weekend. Joe Henry and Mark Armstrong give us the rundown on how things will be looking at the Walleye Capital of the World this weekend. Bret and Dan also discuss a change to the Minnesota duck hunting season. Happy Fishing Opener!

Ron Schara, Gary Leaf, and Mark Holsten join the show and talk about why MN-FISH was created, why the group is important, and what anglers need to do if we want to keep fishing solid in this state. They talk about issues that have been neglected by our government and more. Bret, Dan and David start the show talking about the big announcement for electronic fishing and hunting licenses, and Joe Henry gives us a Lake of the Woods fishing report and has a special guest from the American Sportfishing Association.
