Oahe is Schilling's home water but regardless of his experience there, this tournament was a battle both days for every angler in the field. The big fish weren't biting very well and the wind blew enough to wreak havoc on anglers ability to use forward facing sonar efficiently. In this interview we hear all about Beau's tournament. We also talk about a great event taking place on Oahe out of Akaska this July 25th/26th called the Aftco Throwdown. A fishing competition where the biggest walleye takes home a pickup, but there is a multitude of other great prizes and giveaways. It's a very laid back format that can be great fun for all types of anglers. Check out the details here - https://www.aftco.com/pages/aftco-walleye-throwdown

Dylan Nussbaum joins the JMO Podcast to share the details on his recent 2nd place finish in the National Walleye Tour event on Lake Erie. Dylan is a pure stick and no stranger to success on big water such as the Great Lakes. This April tournament came with some inherent obstacles in the form of tough weather. Dylan made the adjustment to target bigger fish living in dirty water that historically would have turned anglers away. His strategy to figure out the "dirty water fish" was the path to weighing the largest 5 fish limit of 48lbs 3oz which landed him in 2nd place overall after the 2 day tournament.

Jason Mitchell joins the JMO Podcast to discuss his favorite topics when targeting walleyes in the spring on rivers. As the seasons change here in the Midwest, for many anglers the first opportunity to get in a boat and target walleyes occurs on a river. Rivers in the spring can provide a wide variety of opportunities making this time of year inclusive to a wide variety of fishing strategies. Depending on the river, anglers often abandon their big sparkly boats for a johnboat or even a pair of chest waders to reach a prized area to catch big walleyes. There's a lot to like about spring river fishing.

Walleye pro Corey Heiser joins the JMO Podcast for a great interview. Fishing the conditions fresh every day is difficult to do when yesterdays memories are so good.

These scenarios are just as common for us amateur anglers that are looking for eaters on a random Saturday. In this interview we detail the recent tournaments Corey has fished, to help us learn how fishing the conditions of the day and forgetting yesterday's memories can be so crucial for success on any level.

Tom Huynh joins the JMO Podcast again with all kinds of great information for walleye anglers to take from. In the never ending process of learning and getting better as walleye anglers many of us amateurs get stuck in a rut easily. Fishing memories and staying well within our comfort zones are a few hurdles we're all guilty of at the worst times. What we do in the off season or between outings can also have a positive or negative effect on our success on the water. For many of us the first few outings we have each year are spent knocking the rust off and getting reacquainted with our gear. In this podcast Tom tells what his off season "reps" consist of that help him stay sharp and ready so he can hit the ground running especially early in the spring.

Joe Henry from Lake of the Woods Tourism is on the show to highlight the great fishing opportunities on lake of the woods and the surrounding area. It's the season of opportunity up there as the late ice patterns for giant pike notoriously happens this time of year, any day now the rainy river will open up for boats at which time our social media feeds will be littered with pictures of giant walleyes and sturgeon from this location. It's easy to appreciate Joe as he does the best job explaining the history of these opportunities and why many top anglers set aside this time every year to head to the rainy river in search of adventure and trophy fish.

Matt Cowen is the owner of Mon-Dak Marine in Glasgow, Montana near the shores of Fort Peck Lake. As we learned in episode 167, Matt is a Montana native that grew up fly fishing in the mountains. In this interview we tap into that experience and time of Matt's fishing career to learn what we can about reading water and how to be as efficient as possible. Walleye anglers have an endless amount of content and resources to consume for entertainment or information but learning from other types of anglers such as flyfishermen can reveal great perspective and thought that shouldn't be overlooked. The river destinations for walleye anglers are most popular during the spring of the year and having the ability to breakdown water both with your eyes and electronics is a winning strategy for river rats everywhere.

Scott Mackenthun joins the JMO Podcast once again for another great fishing conversation. In this interview we hash out the mental side of angling. As anglers we are all striving for confidence and reassurance that we are as good at fishing as we think we are. The reality for the majority of us is our weaknesses go unchecked until the day is done and we look back on our decision making with guilt and disgust, this can be a confidence killer. How to stay open minded enough to make quality decisions on the water while maintaining confidence even when there's a looming threat of failure is what Scott details in this interview. A passionate angler, outdoor writer, and fisheries employee for Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources are some of the life experiences that draw me to Scott for this topic of conversation. Regardless, I believe Scott is one of the most thoughtful, smart, and articulate individuals I've ever had on the podcast. This is ultimately why I wanted to hear what Scott had to say about the mental side of angling.

Caleb Wistad is a fishing YouTuber and designer of the Predator by Clam Outdoors. The Predator is combination tiptup/automatic hook setting device designed to help any angler maximize their potential on the ice. During the mid winter doldrums great fish catching days can be hard to come by. Many fish species here in the midwest slow down this time of year. Using extra lines wherever it is legal is definitely a proven tactic when breaking down a tough bite. Caleb designed the Predator to be used in most all scenarios where extra lines can be used and in this podcast interview Caleb details when and how to best utilize set lines based on his extensive experience in this arena.

Don Cox joins the JMO Podcast to share stories from the past. From the Sandhills in Nebraska, Don and his fishing partner Dave Fehlhafer have been an ice fishing duo going back to the early 90's when they started competed in tournaments. The ice fishing tournament scene attracted many of the top anglers across the midwest in those days. In this interview we hear from Don what it was like to start from the bottom as beginners and work up to become champions against the best competition of the time. We dive deeper into what strategies they implemented and how they evolved as anglers along the way. Nowadays Don and Dave spend their time on the ice more recreationally, traveling and breaking down new water with some of the same vigor and haste as they did in competition. The group has grown with the addition of Don's 4 sons who all adopted the passion for ice fishing in their own right. As an Ice Team member he promotes ice fishing opportunities and shares information through social media or at industry events. The fishing adventures that Don shares on social media each winter are entertaining and informational, just like this podcast.

Tony Mariotti joins the JMO Podcast once again. We chat about some of the fishing he's been doing during this holiday season on early ice. Then we spend some time conversing the topics of fishing new lakes and the strategies Tony employs to be successful when enjoying this type of outing. Tony rarely fishes the same body of water twice in a row and is always searching for the next great bite he can be the first to find. It's this type of energy I like tapping into when I interview him and this podcast is no different.

Steve "Zippy" Dahl is back on the JMO Podcast to share stories and information on what it's like to hunt for giant perch on Devils Lake in North Dakota. Steve has a long famed career on this incredible body of water and his stories of the past are entertaining enough to listen to. It's as the stories are being reminisced that you will discover they're dripping in details that any perch angler will take so much from. The grind of finding new fish, jumbos that are schooling versus spread out, it's in the details that Zippy subtly shares technical information that needs to be noted when planning a destination fishing trip to Devils Lake, North Dakota.

Dane Heid of DH Custom Baits is back on the JMO Podcast to have a fun conversation about choosing lure colors. How often as anglers do the colors we chose to tie on our line really matter to the fish? Fishing with confidence as anglers can be key to success, staying engaged and focused is easier when we are confident in our presentation and color can be a big factor in that process. In this interview my friend Dane and I chat about lure color concepts and our own personal takes on how often the fish care about our presentations color vs how often the color matters only in our head as anglers as well as how often those two realities can overlap. For nothing else talking about lure color is just fun and entertaining within our own circles, during this podcast hopefully listeners will look into their own tackle boxes and see what color confidences they have and it may spark a new fun conversation with a fishing buddy.

Jason Mitchell joins the podcast once again. This time to chat about early ice strategies. Less is more for Jason this time of year, what he's learned from ffs and past experience this is a great time of year to identify key spots where fish will cycle through the area that allows anglers to drill fewer holes and let the fish come to you. He breaks down his process to locating spots that can produce this type of pattern and why during this early ice period on any body of water with any target species of fish making less noise on top of the ice will keep more fish under your Vexilar.

Joel Nelson returns to the JMO Podcast for a career update. Joel recently accepted a position with OnX which has been a leader in the hunting industry for years with their mobile app that produces mapping and gps information. However their new department that Joel represents is an app for anglers to get a boat load of valuable information in one central location. Information such as mapping and survey data as well as satellite imagery. This app would allow you to track your time on the water and store waypoints as well. So much of what the new Fish Maps from OnX can do in one spot is what anglers would historically need to source from many different online locations making E-scouting new lakes and fishing opportunities easier and better than ever.

Matt Stefan is a career bass tournament angler that in recent years started a YouTube channel to deliver educational tips and tricks for all anglers to enjoy. Walleye anglers that are seeking good information to learn and get better from should always keep an open mind as to where that information might come from. Bass anglers catch lots of nice walleyes on their hunt for big bass and it's those stories that I enjoyed in this interview with Matt Stefan who has been fishing professionally for many years. I have personally learned some great tips from Matt's YouTube content that even though it is directed towards bass fishing I have taken those tips and applied them to my walleye fishing tactics and found success. This interview is loaded with great information from front to back if you listen until the end.

Jesse Glines is a former NWT co-Angler and he joins the JMO Podcast to share his experience. Fishing 11 events as a co-angler from 2020 -2023, Jesse has lots of experience to detail in this interview. We cover Jesse's motivations for entering the first few tournaments and then the story progresses to where he is at today, a much more confident tournament angler as he fishes the NWT now as a Pro instead of a Co. There's many reasons why any angler would decide to sign up as a co-angler for an NWT event or even sign up for an entire season on tour. One thing is for sure this is a phenomenal learning opportunity for the anglers that do.

Joe Okada is a Wisconsin angler that guides and fishes tournaments as well as produces content for himself and other companies. In this interview we have Joe breakdown one of his most memorable tournament stories from the 2024 season. The Montana Governors Cup walleye tournament is a very competitive tournament comprised of a large boat field on Ft. Peck reservoir in eastern Montana. Many of the competitors have a tremendous amount of experience on this body of water but one thing that makes this story interesting is that Joe Okada had never fished Ft. Peck ever before. I enjoy Joe's perspective and opinions on anything walleye fishing related because of his lengthy, successful career in fishing. Now I had the opportunity to pick his brain about a new experience he had on one of the most popular water bodies in all of walleye fishing. This podcast is full of great information that all anglers will learn from.

Josh Johnson from Williston, North Dakota joins the JMO Podcast for this episode. Josh is a guide, YouTuber, and tournament angler. He spends his time on either Fort Peck Lake in Montana or Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota. Both reservoirs are in proximity to where he lives and both are a part of the Missouri River system. Josh's YouTube channel is called "Fishcast Angling" where he produces some very informational content pertaining to reservoir fishing throughout the year. He is a multi species guy with a very science based approach to fishing. It's a specialty skill of Josh's to observe the clues the lake provides each day objectively and then work backwards to understand fish behavior. As anglers the more we understand why fish do what they do we can then become much more proficient at finding them and getting bites even on tough days.

Kellen Latendresse joins the JMO Podcast for the first time. Kellen is a multi species guide from Minot, North Dakota. Throughout the year Kellen and his clients target a spectrum of patterns and species on a variety of water bodies. In this interview we get to know how Kellen cut his teeth in fishing and the conversation quickly turns focus on to one of Kellen's specialties, casting for weed walleyes. Fishing in shallow weeds isn't for the faint of heart considering the modern walleye angler wants to leverage electronics to find productive water, shallow weed fish must be found the old fashioned way. Taking note of natures signals and reading water conditions are still the best way to find the big bites in shallow summertime weeds. Kellen's got many great fishing tips and philosophies on how to be successful in this situation.

There are few individuals in the walleye world today that compare to Max's skills with forward facing sonar. In this interview we hear about Max's recent tournament run on Lake of the Woods in Minnesota. Fishing three tournaments in three days, Max produced a 3rd place finish followed by two 1st places. How he did it is incredible and that's what we cover in this Podcast.

In this interview we cover Bruce's fishing story and go on a deep dive into what walleye fishing on Rainy Lake is like throughout the open water season. Bruce was born and raised on the shores of Rainy Lake and his experience on this capital walleye fishery spans decades. Rainy Lake is truly one of Minnesota's best destinations that should be on any walleye anglers bucket list.

Josh Teigen joins the JMO Podcast for another great ice fishing conversation. The ice conditions this year are creating some challenges for some of us but Josh does a great job in this interview highlighting phenomenal opportunities that we should all be paying attention to with these conditions. Smaller lakes that are full of big un-pressured fish are all across the midwest, and due to the current snow and ice conditions we have great access to these lakes where the fish are very active. In most cases these lakes are easy to fish with minimal gear and no need for sophisticated electronics or large vehicles.

James Holst joins the JMO Podcast to talk about lithium batteries. James has been influencing the fishing community here in the Midwest for many years as the host of InDepth Outdoors. Now, James is the Chief Marketing Manager for Norsk, a lithium battery manufacturer. James has insights that allow us, the consumers, to better understand the lithium battery craze.
We get a more accurate portrayal of who should be looking at this technology and what details they should be looking for when formulating a buying decision. In many cases the expectations created by aggressive marketing strategies battery companies have had are creating expectations that are not being met for consumers like us. As James describes in this fishing podcast, there is a "good, better, and best" when it comes to lithium batteries, and you should know what you are getting into before paying for one of these expensive batteries. More information is always a good thing when it comes to fishing and having the best available power source for our electronics or ice auger will assist any angler in being more efficient on the ice, which can lead to a much more enjoyable fishing experience.
