Sporting Journal Radio: Recent Episodes
Bret Amundson
While we were up north, a new threat to duck hunting emerged, so when we got home we recorded and released this podcast as soon as we could, because there is urgent action needed to protect duck hunting. Wetlands that were protected in easements from the US Fish and Wildlife Service are now threatened by a potential change to regulations around land tiling. These wetlands are crucial for duck habitat and production, and without them our birds could be in trouble. Scott Stephens from Ducks Unlimited joins the show and gives us all the details on the issue and what we all need to do to help protect ducks and geese. Bret Amundson asks Scott his opinion on Minnesota exploring a 3 duck splash bag limit and other concerns around the waterfowl hunting world. Bret and Dan Amundson tell some stories about their fishing trip to the Yukon. A deer tested positive for CWD in the Twin Cities, and Joe Henry has the latest fishing report from Lake of the Woods.

Paul Johnson joins us from the boat on the Rainy River to give us the latest on the migration highway, and Joe Henry is back from the Northwest Angle and tells us how fishing was up there and what he learned from the DNR and other stakeholders at the angle last week.

On this week’s show, we talk about the new Minnesota state record sturgeon that was caught last week. This leads us down a rabbit hole of proper sturgeon handling practices and just how well the population is doing in MN. We also talk about new legislation that could ban some use of Forward-Facing Sonar in Minnesota. Joel Nelson from onX Fish joins us as well and talks about how their app can help you this weekend for the fishing opener and the rest of the season. Dan goes on a rant about hot tubs.

Ali Shakoor is a smart guy when it comes to walleyes. He’s been studying these fish on Lake Erie for a while, and has been digging into the effects of blue-green algae bloom on walleyes in Lake Erie. He joins the show this week and updates us on that research, and other science behind walleyes.
We also ask Ali what he thinks about the new regulations on Red Lake and whether he think it makes sense. He gives us his educated opinion and talks about slot limits on walleyes in this area.
He hits on catch and keep fishing tournaments and what he thinks about catch and release fishing tournaments. He’s fished a few, so he shares what he’s found from both of those tournaments and if he thinks catch and release tournaments will ever be the future of all fishing tournaments. Ali mentions what he thinks about whether anglers keeping big walleyes really makes a difference in a fishery, and how Lake Erie and other lakes are different, but the fish can be strikingly similar.
Joe Henry also joins to tell us why charter boat trips are a really smart way to take a fishing trip to Lake of the Woods.
