I’ve been musky fishing for tenish years and can’t be happier to listen to this podcast and learn something new every episode.
I put my biggest fish in the boat on 6/30 slow rolling a bucktail like Brad. Thank you guys!

Informative and relatable musky content!

The hosts do an incredible job of bringing in quality guests and leading them through discussions of key musky fishing topics. Their content is always relevant to the time of year and I enjoy playing their shows as I plan my next musky hunt.

Their customer service on Team Rhino Outdoors and Musky Mayhem sites is top notch too. Keep up the great work!
