Fat A.Z. Musky Podcast

This episode we had Brandon from FigurEight Musky Gear. His line of apparel has exploded onto the musky fishing scene in the past year. He talks about fishing in his home state of West Virgina, Floating and wading rivers, the underwater photos of him releasing fish, and of coarse FigurEight Musky Gear. There was some sports talk near the end, with Vance flexing some of his sports history muscle......

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 mistake...

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...

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...

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 ge...

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 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.

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 gu...

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...

This weeks podcast we have guest Bill Bennett. This was the first time any of us had talked to him (besides messaging online to set up the interview). We discussed what he does, where he does it. The state of his musky fishery, baits he like to cast and troll. We talked alot about live bait fishing. We have hit on live bait fishing in the past and the lack of sucker fishing in the area we are from...

This podcast has little to with fishing. It has alot to do with Vance going hunting for the first time...EVER. The story, emotion, journey, and what it means for the future of hunting for Vance. Even if your not interested in our coverage of hunting season this podcast should be able to cross reference into another activity that most people have been a part of either as the newbie or the person ta...

We hit a fishing report from Vance, Then drew the winner of the Mudpuppy Raptor, andy gave a very quick anticlimactic fishing report, Todd tells of his fast hunting season again. The we drive into talking with Wade who guides for Midnight Sun Trophy Pike. I will say this, there isn't a fishery in the lower 48 that can do what Wade talks about. I wont say anymore, so you have to listen.

Here we are less than a week before the PA deer rifle season, but we are still fishing a little. People who hunt and fish know the struggle of balancing between the two. Anyway the first 41 minutes somehow became a talk on deer hunting, it wasn't planned it just happened like a lot of what is said on the our podcast. If you don't want to hear us talk about hunting then skip ahead. We got back on m...

Yes Gregg Thomas from "Battle the Beast" guide service, not some other guy named Gregg Thomas. We talk about how Gregg and Todd go way back, Cave Run, Minnesota, night fishing, St. Clair, small rivers.... I cut us off at over 2 hours. He will be back on the podcast in the future, he is a hoot!

Todd starts off the podcast with the fishig report. Andy asked Todd to try to descride how to work the Raptor with only words, its an audio podcast so visual demo cant work. So after a little "how to" Andy chimed in with his little fishing report. We shift gears to talk some more about Vance's new boat, Alumacraft Competitor 205 tiller w/ 200 hp Verado. He has owned it for 5 days and got through t...

We share the stories of the trips, the blunders, make fun of each other... guys talking about fishing trips. We also talk about...

For the first time Todd joins the group in person. So audio should be much better than the phone call. We start off with the fishing report and like always it leads to stories. Stories of almost losing rods, almost loosing baits with a whole spool of line attached, osprey attacking baits, fishing jumping in to inter-tubes... crazy fishing stories. Check out Fat A.Z. Musky Products on the web and F...
