He's the 'Crappie Whisperer' and he's from right here in the Ozarks. Payton Usrey has cracked the code on catching BIG crappie on Beaver Lake! We got to sit down with him at his workshop in Sonora, AR to discuss how he got into crappie fishing, some of his most successful strategies to getting fish into the boat, and why he keeps coming back for more.

We also got to talk to Payton about his two other ventures...Beekeeping and Taxidermy. If you're interested in hearing about that then fast forward to the time stamps below:

Beekeeping - 52:05
Taxidermy - 1:02:10
