Download this episode Imagine the fishing world without planer boards? For those of us who troll on a regular basis, it's almost impossible. But as with every great and useful piece of equipment, someone had to conceive of the idea, then build it...then build it again and again until they finally reach an iteration that does what they intended. For planer boards, that guy was Gary Gehrman. Like most anglers, Gary got hooked on fishing early in life, but he was never content with the status quo. When he figured out how to catch suspended fish in the middle of what seemed to be an angler's no-man's-land, people began taking notice. Listen to the entire story on this month's podcast and we think you'll end up with a deeper appreciation for the online planer board and the man that caused that wake almost 40 years ago.   Subscribe on iTunes!

Dick 'the Griz' Grzywinski in his own words

We love characters on this show, and the man we meet today fits the bill in ALL CAPS. They call him the Griz and he’s famous for catching more fish on a day in and day out basis than maybe anybody ever has. He performs these fish-catching feats in urban areas and wilderness waters and guides on lakes he’s never seen… and there’s only one guy like him that we’ve ever come across. This story begins in the May, 2018 issue of MidWest Outdoors. The conversation takes place in Griz’s basement, seated on creaky chairs that create ambiance that just seems to fit. As we leave the printed page and pick up the trail here, this grizzled legend of the Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame and national Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame tells us what it was like to live through what we now call the modern fishing revolution, and how his approach to the sport was shaped by those years. It’s all stored up there in his head and it was fun to get him talking about it, and we’re excited to present the Griz, in his own words. Subscribe on iTunes! Listen on iHeart Radio!
