Recent interview with Outdoor Pursuits Radio

[Paul Schlagel]

I recently had an opportunity to join Thomas Allen's Outdoor Pursuits Radio for a conversation about muskies. I joined the show about 1/2 hour into his segment. The conversation begins with Thomas sharing his story about the recent 53 1/2" he caught on Vermilion. His story was a perfect segue into an aspect of musky fishing I love, the requisite perserverance and dedication it takes to succeed. From there, we talked about Mille Lacs '10, new trends in lures and patterns, upcoming patterns and how to fish them, season highlights, etc. Thomas has a great show and I wish I could catch the online version more often. Heck, I can barely keep up with e-mail, so I'll have to catch more of his show this winter. Just because his show is in Iowa (and Minnesotans like teasing Iowa) doesn't mean Outdoor Pursuits isn't worth a listen. The show has been interesting even when they're talking about waterfowl, turkeys, deer, and other critters I don't pursue much.

Looking at Thomas's list of past shows, I couldn't help but notice that he also recently interviewed Kevin Van Dam. Hmmmm... I know there's some old expression about the company one keeps, but I can't seem to come up with it. Anyway, I'm not really saying, but...
