I finally get a chance to sit and chat with Doug Wegner.

In a lot of ways he created the modern day self-filming craze of musky fishing, his Week on the Woods series set the stage for a new group of musky anglers to take up the sport and buy a gopro.

We talk muskies, memberships and the hard work that goes into the brand that is Doug Wegner Fishing!

Simply put, in the musky world, LEGEND.

The history of musky fishing will always go throught Musky Hunter magazine, and through Joe Bucher.
