We welcome everyone to the new year with this fantastic chat we had with Steve Genson who is celebrating his 25th season of guiding! Not only that but we dive deep into some certified classic stories on the early days of Keyes Outdoors, guiding and tournament fishing. Steve guides primarily the greater Hayward area of WI nowadays, but has acquired extensive knowledge from all over the musky range from filming and tournament fishing. From start to finish you can hear the passion Steve still holds for the sport. Don't want to miss out on this one so tap in!

Merch update is in the outro so stick around to hear the news on that! Show season is nearing and the MOT crew is brewing some great stuff up!

This weeks intro comes from a classic TV show and favorite of the MOT crew - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Mac and Dennis come up with the great idea of Paddy's Dollars but at the same time do not know how this idea works. It keeps the money moving. In a circle.

The MOT crew thanks The Musky Hunks podcast for inviting us to join their secret santa gift exchange over the holidays. Huuuuge shooouuut ooouuuttt to them as well as Kyle Friedges (Beyond The 8 on YT), Matt Vavroch (Matt Vavroch Fishing on YT), and Tyler Andrews aka the Musky Guru (Not A Musky Podcast on all podcasting platforms). Had a great time and be sure to check out all of their content!
