In this episode, Jesse and Andrew break down the real cost of fishing, the skill behind light line fishing records, and why local knowledge beats generic fishing advice every time. They cover fishing gear costs, water clarity, sharp hooks, fishing lines and leaders, and bust the myth that big baits always catch big fish. From Ontario fishing pressure to new fishing gear innovations coming in 2026, this episode delivers practical fishing tips, real fishing stories, and advice you can actually use.
