May 28, 2026

1–2 minutes

Thanks to our sponsors:

On this week’s show, we’re talking about improving fishing in Minnesota with MN-FISH. 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.
