Ben Kelly pt 1

When we saw Ben Kelly’s video about his first muskie challenge and fishing adventure ever, we had to have him on the show. Ben talks to us about how he transitioned from an otherwise normal job into a career in outdoor media with among other things, his adventure channel Conjuring Rock. Ben soon found an obsession for fishing that lead him to the ultimate challenge, a fish he had never targeted or caught - a hunt for the apex predator, the muskellunge!

Mark Perkins guides out of the Shangri-La that is Obabikon Bay Camp on the famed Lake of the Woods. In this episode Mark drops as much knowledge as we have ever had from a guest and the conversation was enlightening. In just part one alone we covered so many points of interest like fishing in tough weather, proper hook sets, the importance of "first dark", chasing big fish, and going outside the box when the going gets tough out on the water. We are very excited to share this episode with our listeners.
