In this episode we sit down with chapter 16 secretary Charlie Mueller and long time club member Mr. Meatball himself Evan Schoss. We discuss everything chapter 16 new and old and how far the club has come in recent years. We highlight upcoming events like the banquet and the 2024 tournaments, and as usual get derailed a few times along the way.

E113 - MuskyHunkaPalooza 2024 Recap

This week the Hunks are joined by return guest, none other than Ben Stone of Ben Stone Media. Ben sits down to talk about his season from last year, some of his past work filming for Kanal Gratis and Devoted Outdoors and what he has planned coming up for his new venture which includes all types of outdoor videography and editing. He’s one of the best at shooting content that is not only entertaining and educational but much more visually pleasing than most YouTubers out there, so definitely give him a look!

E112 -  Ben Stone Returns

In this episode, it’s our privilege to chat with Greg Nimmer, who illustrates over and over during this talk why he’s known all around the country for his one-of-a-kind creative genius. Greg shares some of his journey making off-the-rails and unique musky baits for over 20 years (in an equally unique way). He tells us about his first expos, some things he’s learned in fishing and in building, and what his creative process looks like when it comes to dreaming up his zany creations. He gives us a few secrets and unexpected surprises, holds back on a few others, and tells us some incredible fishing stories from the north woods of Wisconsin. It’s a click-clackin’ good time.

E111 - Poggin’ Around With Greg Nimmer

In this episode Josh Marshall and Marshall Custom Tackle facilitate a conversation with one of Ohio’s Muskie fishing’s greats, Ray ”Grandpa” Elkins. Ray is 81 years young and has been Muskie fishing for well over 65 years. Ray gives us some background on how he got started muskie fishing, what it looked like to fish Ohio in the 50’s & 60’s, how the Ohio Huskie Muskie Club got started and the impact that they have had, how he spent all his money on Wiley’s and had to bum money for lunch and how he got the nickname ”GRANDPA”. This episode is a walk through Ohio Muskie history and Ray tells allot of fun and amazing stories. This was truly an honor for us to interview Ray and we could listen to Grandpa talk muskie fishing for hours. 

Special thank you to Josh Marshall for helping set this up and helping Ray join the call!!!
