Week 713: State Record Sturgeon, Potential Livescope Ban, and Fishing Opener!!

On this week’s show, we talk about the new Minnesota state record sturgeon that was caught last week. This leads us down a rabbit hole of proper sturgeon handling practices and just how well the population is doing in MN. We also talk about new legislation that could ban some use of Forward-Facing Sonar in Minnesota. Joel Nelson from onX Fish joins us as well and talks about how their app can help you this weekend for the fishing opener and the rest of the season. Dan goes on a rant about hot tubs.
