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!
