In this episode, we speak with one of the best multi-species anglers in the muskie game, Tom Barry.  The guys wanted Tom on the show not only because of his muskie knowledge but to have a greater talk on multispecies angling and how similarities across species and styles could be connected.  Tom put on an absolute angling masterclass in this series.  Topics include: 

• Out-of-the-box solutions for trolling/boat controls

Good friend of the show and Frank's brother from another mother Josh Ketry (co-founder of Red October Baits) calls in to lend his wisdom to the topic of Fall muskie hunts.  Josh recently landed an absolute slob of  a fish so the guys wanted to hear all about it.  Josh also mentions a very interesting project that he has created and how it can relate to fishing.  

In this second part of our chat with Kevin Goldberg, Kevin goes into more technical detail that will give anglers tips and tactics to not only net more fish, but to target the big girls.  Such an excellent session with Kevin. Points include:
