We've got something special this week! We are talking with the "Head Fish Scientist" Mark Sexton from ‪@berkleyfishing‬ about the science that goes into fishing. Mark also tells us about the incredible fishing NW Iowa has to offer! Sit back and relax and enjoy this weeks show.

To mark the milestone, we sit down with a friend of the show and flat-out elite angler — Matteo Toronto. Matteo just wrapped one of the most impressive seasons in recent memory, capping it off with a great showing at RedCrest! Jim and Matteo dig into his Kentucky Lake learning curve, how live scope changed his shallow water game, the state of the fishery (spoiler: it's bouncing back), and what it really takes to compete — and win — at one of the highest level of bass fishing.

We are talking about the most historic and legendary fishery in the Midwest: Hayward Lakes. Mindy Simon, the Executive Director of Hayward Lakes Visitors and Convention Bureau, walks us through what makes the Hayward area so special. Then we are joined by Capt. Louie Dazzo of Louie's Get Hooked Guide Service to talk about what to and how to fish the lakes of Hayward. From the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, to untouched wilderness, to some of the best inland lakes for fishing and fun, the Hayward area has you covered.    #hayward #musky #wisconsin 

Game fishing might be closed but we're keeping busy. We're on possibly the last ice in the Midwest to catch GIANT yellow perch AKA THE TEETER PIGS. Justin Soffa is the guide to get you your PB perch and we sit down to talk about why Lake Gogebic grows such SLOBS! Then we head south to Chicagoland to talk with Dennis Leppell about making your very own maple syrup this year. We learn about everything you need and need to know for this hobby.  📍 Book a trip with Just Fish Guide Service 🌐 www.justfishupnorth.com   Check out a new evaporator today 🌐bassettmapleco.com/ ‪@BassettMapleCo‬   Dennis's DIY Maple Syrup method:    • Making Maple Syrup In Our Own Back Yard!     #lakegogebic #yellowperch #maplesyrup #michiganfishing #upfishing

Look out for a sneak peak of the tv episode we filmed with Jake! Then we go over our most successful baits to catch massive walleyes during their spring runs.

We are live from the Ice! Join us as we sit down with our own Greg Jones to talk about where he has been and what he has caught in his several decades as one of MidWest Outdoors' hosts and personalities.

Happy New Years!  We are taking a look back on some of our best moments from this year on the water. This episode covers Walleye, Bass, Catfish, and more. We want to thank everyone that we got to fish with and want to thank you the viewer for coming along with us. We'll be back soon with more!

We're on the ice to talk with Trevor Kroll of OPS Experience about early ice fishing and what you need to know if this is your first ice season. Then Santa drops by to show us what we might've forgotten on our wish list this year.
