Summary
In this episode of Back Lash Podcast Pete Maina and Rob Manthei join Jeff and Brad to continue the conversation about Wisconsin’s new early-season musky opener, the upcoming Conservation Congress hearings, and a proposed resolution to restore split-zone seasons to protect spawning fish. They discuss concerns about increased spring mortality and harvest, the role of technology and social media in adding pressure, Green Bay exclusions, and the challenges of stocking and hatchery strain decisions. The guests argue that expanded, better-managed stocking is the most practical solution, explain how anglers and clubs can help, and urge interested listeners to attend county meetings and vote in person on April 13th.
