34 Muskie Fishing Clip

Episode 34
Muskie Fishing
Show Date: August 20th & 21st, 2011
Location: Hayward, Wisconsin & Longville Minnesota
Guide: Pete Maina [thenextbite.com | petemaina.com]

As a throwback to the good 'ol times, we head north for a muskie show in the Hayward area with Pete Maina. We then head over to Longville Minnesota,  where our friend Rusty Lilyquist has been having a banner year on the massive body of water that is Leech Lake. We have a great few days of angling with our buddies, and talk a bit about the early days.

The small lakes around the Hayward area have produced some wonderful memories over the 20 + years that we have been on the air. As with any muskie trip, trying a variety of baits to zero in on what the fish want is the key to landing one of these coveted beasts. Pete has been fishing this area since he was a teenager, so there is no shortage of spots for us to try, and we have a great time re-discovering the waters that our show took it's first steps on.

The second part of our trip, we head out with another old friend of ours, Rusty Lillyquist. Rusty knows this 112,000 acre lake very well, and in-turn we again have a bounty of spots to explore.  We get to chat with Rusty about the Minnesota DNR's efforts on Leech Lake, and the positive impact that those efforts have yielded.
