Bumpkin Angling Podcast

BWD and the KFT tackle a couple of mouth-watering questions: What's your favorite way to cook or eat fish? What traditional methods of preparing fish are you familiar with? Some of the answers are surprising! Some aren't as appetizing as the theme would imply... So, get out the tartar sauce and malt vinegar and let's talk fish cookery!  

"In no geological epoch has any body of water, fresh or saline, ever seen the likes of such a fish." 
KFT and BWD read aloud from their book "Old Mose".  It's a big fish story with some myth, some history and quite a bit of mystery.  Come along as a young Shane and his Uncle Frank try to finally get a look at what's lurking in Meteor Lake!  

A fish is a fish is a fish... or is it?  BWD and KFT try to figure out why we consider some fish desirable and some fish disposable.  What is a rough fish?  What is a game fish?  Are there trash fish?  Tune in and decide for yourself!  

BWD and KFT speak out about the presence of ICE in the Twin Cities.  

BONUS! Big Wave Dave regales listeners with a news story about a rare fish siting.  

Big Wave Dave and The Kentucky Freight Train sit down to talk about the current, very real, threat to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  They cover the history of the BWCAW, what's happening right now to put that wilderness in danger and what you can do to help protect it.  Water is life.  

Big Wave Dave and Shane the Kentucky Freight Train talk about the tech designed to help anglers catch more fish.  What's old, what's new, and how did we get here?  They tackle gorge hooks, forward-facing sonar and a very large European catfish.  

Introducing Bumpkin Angling, a project of Boulder Lake Fishing Club and Two Harbors Community Radio!  Join Dave and Shane as they dive into the surprisingly complex world of angling.  On this episode, they discuss what we choose to put at the end of a fishing line, whether it is alive or something created in a lab, and the ramifications of either.  The discussion gets deep (pun intended), but there's also time for some games, some laughs and a very old lake trout.
