This week is inspired by Pat's very successful coho trip, we're talking about the Great Lakes Salmon. We also talk a little walleye fishing on the Illinois River. In the news this week we have a new wildlife area in Southern Indiana, people hate wake boats in Wisconsin, Iowa DNR investigating a fish kill, Michigan trees don't look the same after an ice storm, moose population in Minnesota, killing snakehead in Missouri, and $100k bass caught in Missouri.

In the news this week we have Great Lakes water levels, no more weekend duck hunts in Kansas, water withdrawal report from Wisconsin, and spawning brook trout in Minnesota.

This is our first crack at bi-weekly episodes. We cover all kind of news such as cougar cubs in Michigan, bobcats in Indiana, wasted money in Illinois, fishing license price hikes in Wisconsin, new walleye limit in Mille Lacs, and Ohio fisherman fined. We talked about our first attempt at stuffing sausage and how we made it into a small get together. One question we had for the listeners is, are Dakota Lithium batteries worth it?
