In this episode, we talk to Jake and Joe Batic, two musky-obsessed brothers from the state of Indiana. We talk about how they got their start to fishing and musky media, their experiences across the Midwest as pro staffers for Musky Mayhem, boats, setups, baits, brotherly love, and basically all things musky.

In episode ten, we welcome our fourth guest, Luke Wholey. Our intended focus was to discuss the Wholey brand, how Luke got started fishing , his time spent in Alaska, the Alaskan Grille  and how he got started Musky fishing in Western Pennsylvania. Luke tells his story and makes us all hungry for seafood. This was a really awesome episode with one of Pittsburgh's iconic business owners as well as premiere local Musky angler.

In episode nine, we welcome our third guest, Mark King of Keystone King Musky Lures. Our intended focus was to discuss Marks bait lineup and what he has new for the Muskie Max. Mark makes really awesome glide, dive and rise and now twitch baits. Really pumped to see the Keystone King lineup at the Muskie Max here in March. Hopefully this episode gives you some insight into Mark King and Keystone King Musky Lures.

In episode eight, we welcome our second guest, Evan Schoss of Schoss Bait Company. Our intended focus was to discuss Evans history making Musky lures and to get a quick overview of Schoss Bait Company. We also get into discussing local Musky history and Evan shares his tales of fishing with Howard Wagner and local Musky Lure builders that have all had there share in building the rich history of Musky fishing here in Western Pennsylvania. 

In episode seven, we discuss recent musky news from the Three Rivers Chapter 16 Muskies inc. holiday meeting, recent group fishing news while re-capping our 2021 seasons and then talk about 2022 fishing resolutions. We try to stay on musky topic and avoid talking Steelhead. Tom gets boo'd even though Ryan has been recently converted to a Steelhead hunk. 

In episode six, at the suggestion of our (wonderful) listeners, we take a few steps backwards to dive deeper on the topic of bank fishing. Last week, while we intended on talking about it with Jeff Contreras, we quickly derail into an open-table conversation about life, and we miss the intended topic almost entirely. This week, however, we do our best to to stay on track. We start at ground zero with selecting your spots. We dive even deeper into strategy, scouting, baits, seasons, weather, mindsets, and more. 

In episode five, we welcome our first guest, Jeff Contreras of Just Keep Casting. While our intended focus was bank fishing, we quickly derail into a conversation about the musky fishing community and life in general. We talk about how Jeff and his brand got started, what it’s like to manage two dozen crazy musky fisherman at the annual Musky Battle, and the good, the bad, and the ugly that comes with it all. Finally, we close with some bank fishing stories and tips. 

In episode four, after a two week hiatus, we had a lot of catching up to do. We go off the rails discussing some recent muskies we have (and have not) been catching, as well as some common fall strategies and a multi-species road trip. We recap our annual Hunks Weekend musky trip, commemorate the reigning “champion”, and eventually, we get into our top personal musky memories. 

In episode three, we talk about why we chose what we chose, our regrets, and some budget-friendly boat hacks to save time and money when you finally take that leap. As weekend warriors with full time jobs, we try to keep our boat setups cheap and simple, and prove that you don’t necessarily have to spend your life savings on a fancy new boat to be successful. 

In this episode, the Muskie Hunks talk a little about how we got into Muskie fishing and focus on major mistakes we have made along the way. This is a good episode for beginners and really gives you an idea of how green we are and how far we have come.  The goal is to share common mistakes and to show how imperfect we are as humans and fisherman.
