The Muskie Hunks Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

After another hiatus, the guys are back to talk about a couple of recent trips, including the recent trip to Lake Nipissing on the Canadian shield. Learn about what not to do on the water with your boat, amongst other important life lessons.

In this episode, the Hunks are joined by the Muskies Inc. magazine editor, Amy Keyes, and the Lunge log and Member Photo manager, Alison Willers. They get to peek behind the curtain at Muskies Inc. and learn about some of the interworking of the organization.

In episode we recap two recent Three Rivers Chapter 16 Muskies Inc tournaments in our area. We have three local boys on to give us their backgrounds, Andrew Arnold, Eric Bartolomeo and Greg Colosimo. Andrew, Bart and Greg tell us a little about how they got started Muskie fishing, how they fish now and how their experiences were at the Lake Arthur tournament. Andrew placed second with Ryan Connelly and Bart and Greg took first. We also recap the Chapter 16 youth outing also held at lake Arthur. The Hunks Hammer was present to secure 2nd place for his youth fisherman Shane Duncan only missing first by 1/8 inch. Swinkie talks about cheating on Muskies with ocean fish, Nate was dragging ass, Ryan was in the middle of breakfast and Nick was just happy that i pronounced his last name correctly. This episode is a pure hunks BS session with tips, stories and laughs. 

In this week's episode, we hand the ropes off to some of the old and some of the new minds behind the annual Musky Battle. Jeff Contreras (back by popular demand) is joined by Ben Stone, Alex McLean, and Joseph Biebert to talk about their plan for this year's various stages of the Battle. We talk about some changes, challenges, pros, cons, stories , and what to expect. As usual when Jeff is around, we close out by going down a rabbit hole about life.

In this episode, we have a hilarious, insightful, and all-around enjoyable chat with Mike Nabulsi of Water Wolf and Bass Magnet Lures. We start the night in shambles, and once back on track, we talk about Mike's storied history in the world of making stuff swim. Mike schools us on things we never before thought about in the realm of rubber, we beg him to come to a US musky expo, and Owen professes his love to another one of his many man crushes.

In this first installment of “Fish Tale Fridays”, we tell stories about a recent weekend excursion where the hunks (almost) had a perfect sweep at various bodies of water across the state of PA. Find some of the events on video on the new Muskie Hunks YouTube channel, also found at linktree.com/MuskieHunks

This week, the hunks host none other than Vance “Boomer” Kaloz, pro-guide, bait maker, podcaster, and all-around Muskie Renaissance Man.  We talk about his progression through fishing to where he ultimately ended up fishing the PMTT, winning various awards, and guiding full-time. We discuss all things musky…and all things not. We take another stab at a speed round, and the podcast quickly divulges into a Kennywood conspiracy theory episode. #TheMuskieHunks #ALLDAY

In this episode, we recap our weekends at the first-ever NY Musky Expo as both vendors and buyers. We talk highs, lows, our hauls, seminars, and everything in between. Following expo talk, we derail into an interesting chat about some recent spring fishing and positive musky mindset. 

In this week's episode, we go way over our typical 2 hours talking to one of the more well-known names in Pittsburgh musky fishing. Nicholas Colangelo. We talk all things Esox in this three-hour musky extravaganza. We discuss boats, rods, lures, tinkering, ice fishing, Pittsburgh eats, and everything in between. Nick tells stories, we whiff at the concept of a speed round, and Tom's microphone craps the bed on the night he has been waiting for his whole life.

In this week’s episode, as we approach the first-ever NY Musky Expo, we chat with one of the vendors making the trip up. We talk with Bob and Nick Cox, a very dynamic father/son duo who own B&N Custom Rods and Tackle (and also recently acquired the Talonz brand). We talk about what it’s like to produce so many different baits at once, how you split work as a father/son team, fishing/developing lures on Lake St. Clair, and what we can expect to see at the show.
