    S7 E16 - Fishing Opener w/ Nick Lindner

    Happy Fishing Opener Weekend Listen Local Fam! On today's episode we catch up with someone who knows fishing very well, Nick Lindner. Nick, whose family is arguably the most recognized fishing family in Minnesota, talks about growing up a Lindner, if he always knew he'd be working in the fishing/angling industry, what it's been like branching off from typical TV media into growing his YouTube and other social media pages, and of course some tips and tricks as we head into Fishing Opener 2026. All of that, and much more from Nick! Then after Nick signs off, the LL Crew gives an update on the Pequot construction, a sports update, and other BLA news and events in the Local Happenings segment. As always, thanks to our amazing listeners and of course 2026 sponsors Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation, Hanneken Insurance, Craguns Legacy Courses, Party Time Rental, Bens Marine and Motorsports and our PRESENTING SPONSOR Lakes Area CPAs!

Among those many topics, Dustin dives into the struggles back in 07-08 when he began this journey, what made him stick with it, the importance of building a great team around him, some of the non-auto repair services that he and AutoSmith offer, and what he's learned as he approaches 20 years of service.
