  • Interview Podcast #13: Dave Genz In his own Words
    Name an advancement in ice fishing, and Dave Genz’s fingerprints are all over it. The first instant setup shelter was his now-famous Fish Trap. He showed us how to use a depthfinder down the same hole we were fishing. He pioneered graphite ice rods that perform like long rods in miniature. He started the mobility movement, and taught us to drill more holes to find active biters. The list goes on, and on, and on…
    This conversation starts in the December, 2015 issue of MidWest Outdoors magazine, and continues here, with Dave Genz… in his own words.

  • Interview Podcast #11: Dr. Ken Nordberg, In his own Words
    MidWest Outdoors magazine readers already know Dr. Ken Nordberg and his years of writings on whitetail deer and black bear hunting. A retired dentist steeped in scientific methods, Nordberg conducts ongoing hunting-centric research into the behavior of deer, bears, wolves, and other animals… all aimed at helping hunters be more successful, and more humane.
    His primary focus is on what it takes to create close-range shots at mature whitetail bucks that are relaxed and standing in front of the bow or gun.
    This interview began in the November, 2015 issue of MidWest Outdoors magazine, and continues here, with Dr. Ken Nordberg… In his own Words.

  • Interview Podcast #10: Mark Kayser, In his own Words
    Mark Kayser has taught a lot of us a lot of things about hunting over the years. His writing and photography have appeared in pretty much every magazine devoted to the outdoors. You’ve also seen his work on television, and perhaps follow his exploits on hunting blogs. As we wrapped up the written portion of this interview, in the October, 2015 issue of MidWest Outdoors, Kayser was explaining his approach to tagging turkeys, big bucks, big bull elk, on public lands.
    Let’s dig deeper into his recipe for hunting success, as we present… Mark Kayser… in his own words.

  • Interview Podcast #9: Ray Eye, In his own Words
    On today’s show, we meet a man who comes to us from the last simple time in America, who grew up in the heart of the Ozark mountains of Missouri, hunting, trapping, fishing, literally living off the land. Chances are you know him as a wild turkey hunter, which he is. But there’s so much more to his outdoor skills, and his life in the hills, and our conversation with Ray Eye is comin’ atcha, starting right now…

  • Interview Podcast #7: Pat Smith, In his own Words
    Scour the annals of fishing history and you will be hard-pressed to find anybody as quietly influential and pure of motivation as Pat Smith.
    He made his mark primarily during a long stay at Thorne Brothers tackle shop in the Minneapolis area, but his influence extends deep into the fishing industry in other capacities. These days, he sells gear to the stores you buy it from, working for Big Rock Sports.
    Known as a bundle of keyed-up energy, in recent times, with greying hair and a more measured approach to life following a heart scare, he seems less fidgety, perhaps more content, and here he is, Pat Smith, in his own words…

  • Interview Podcast #4: Mike Iaconelli
    There’s no hiding from Mike Iaconelli. Outwardly hyper, inwardly methodical. Smart. Brash. Hip. Urban. Emotional. Intensely competitive. In love with fish and fishing. Aware that he is a role model. Successful at the highest levels of bass fishing competition. As responsible as anybody for the urban bass culture that has sprung up coast to coast. His main point of difference, when fishing, is physicality: he powers through every day on the water with astounding energy and a fast-paced style that seeks active fish and moves on when they don’t appear.
    Born in Philly. Raised in Jersey. Takes the obvious career path and becomes a professional bass fisherman, successfully going head to head with people who grew up in bass strongholds. It was preordained that he would become a polarizing figure on the bass scene. He’s not easy to notice so much as impossible to ignore. An eagerness to talk has been reinforced by a persistent and enviable walk, including winning B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year and the Bassmaster Classic.
    Anybody who has ever dreamed of being a professional fisherman would give anything to win either one.
    MidWest Outdoors publisher Dan Ferris slowed ‘Ike’ down long enough for a fascinating interview, and he struck instantly, like a coiled snake, at every question. No dead air, but you realize that each answer is thoughtful and insightful. His brain really does work this fast, and so does his body, and here he is, Mike Iaconelli… in his own words.
