In this episode, Noah and Kolbe have the pleasure of chatting with Mike Arrowood - Chairman of the Board for Walleyes For Tomorrow.

Over the years, Mike has amassed a wealth of knowledge and information on all things related to walleyes and he shared many of those insights with the guys. They talked about Walleyes For Tomorrow, some of the major projects the organization has completed, what fisherman can do to help the cause, myths and threats that are harmful to the walleye population, the current status of walleyes on Lake Winnebago, and more!

In this episode, the Buck Fever crew discuss a lifetime worth of turkey hunting debacles. Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong!
