Old Tips, Fresh Bites?

In this episode Andrew and Jesse Ontario Anglers bounce from the ridiculous history of the Big Muskie (spoiler: not a fish) to why old fishing books still know things your fancy new gear doesn’t. They roast and praise classic vs modern tackle, gush over nostalgic fishing art, talk the upcoming Cancast show (the biggest fishing show in Canada), and drop some Bob Izumi wisdom—basically proving that fishing trends change, but fish remain unimpressed and predictable.
