Week 738: Minnesota and Muskies

October 29, 2026

On this week’s podcast, we get an update on Minnesota and its muskies. Kamden Glade, a fisheries research scientist for the Minnesota DNR tells us what they’ve learned from their tagging study on Lake Vermillion, what people are saying about musky mortality in Minnesota, and what is next as far as musky management, musky stocking, and musky research with the updated DNR long-range musky management plan. Dan battles a thunderstorm in the middle of the show, Joe Henry gives anglers reasons to go fishing right now, and Bret and Dan discuss a concept for a new restaurant along the North Shore.
