Advertise on podcast: Ugly Pike Podcast

(2018) One of the major turning points of the show was when the guys were invited to PinePost Studios to record an episode of the Outdoor Journal Radio AM Radio Show with Angelo Viola.  Angelo agreed to sit and talk muskies after the recording and this was the start of what would be an enormous partnership for the Ugly Pike Podcast.

(2018) Boss Shad!  Paul makes incredible baits and catches incredible fish.  He called into the show in 2018 to share his secrets to success both in the baitmaking world and on the water

(2018) As active editor in chief of Musky Hunter Magazine, Steve joins the guys to talk about the most successful muskie publication ever, what it is like to work with the one and only Jim Saric, and of course, his tips and tricks for catching toothie predators!

(2018) The discussion was so good that we had to keep it going and split into 2 parts.  Pat is a goldmine of muskie fishing knowledge

(2018) The start of an awesome friendship!  Pat travelled to come in studio for an epic discussion.  Pat brings a blend of energy and experience that is simply unmatched.  Beers, Burgers, and of course, muskies!

(2018) The guys connect with dedicated female anglers Erin Howard and local friend Olivia Michaud to talk about muskie fishing in Canada and the USA

(2018) This was a pivotal episode for the podcast.  Fishing media powerhouses Al Lindner and Jeremy Smith came onto the show to talk about a bill in the Minnesota legistlature that would be destructive to their muskie fishing habitats and populations.  The guys could not help but talk to these established anglers about their lives and careers.  An amazing time and discussion!

(2018) This was the year that we met a giant of a man with a giant talent for carving (and we would later learn, guiding) fish replicas.  Hans came into studio with his massive wooden replica and with it started a genuine friendship full of mutual respect and admiration.  Unfortunately Hans was taken from us in 2026 far too early and so these episodes serve as a reminder to the outstanding artist, angler, and human being he was!

(2018) The guy sit down for what will be the first of many talks and trips with Ottawa River Guide Legend John Anderson!

2017 The guys look back on the year 2017 and its most memorable moments

(2017) Fresh off his purchase of Musky Hunter Magazine, Gregg Thomas sits with the guys to discuss the US muskie fishing scene and his new venture

(2017) Another episode where you will hear the guys talk about in the modern episodes.  The scene was epic - tired after a long day on the water, the guys went into their small cottage right on the edge of Eagle Lake and opened a bottle of scotch.  Legendary guide Steve Herbeck sits down and tells some absolutely rivetting tales of Eagle Lake Giants.  His tone and delivery was gruff and intense, reminiscent of Quint's tale told on the boat in the movie Jaws.

(2017) This episode changed everything!!  After this interview, a solid friendship emerged where Alex would not only take many, many trips with the guys, but he would also be a show regular, recording "Live from the Lake" episodes once or twice a year.  Alex also started his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey, and the super successful Barbarian Braid company that started with line, and has branched out to hooks, rods, and now even reels!  This is where it all began

(2017)  Live from Eagle Lake.  This is the episode that you may have heard Frank say on other podcast interviews was one of if not his favourite.  The guys were in the lodge one night and came upon an epic storyteller and one of a kind man - they had to turn the microphone on!  Enjoy this post fishing lodge side good old fishing chat!  You won't believe some of these stories

(2017) Frank had initially seen Ben in a well known article he wrote in Ontario Outdoor Magazine.  The guys reached out to tap into the brain of one of the best guide to ever do it on Lac Seul.  This also marked the beginning of a great friendship, as the guys would end up taking several trips on the water together!
