Summary
On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Tony Peterson to dive into the world of Mississippi River smallmouth fishing! Tony is an outdoor writer, public land hunter, and Minnesota-native who grew up hunting and fishing around the Mississippi River, since then he's competed in countless bass tournaments both on the river and around the Midwest. In this episode, the guys dive into finding big trout in unclassified waters, how to break down the Mississippi into manageable chunks, fish consciousness, types of structure smallmouth are likely to relate to, different lures for different types of water, the importance of non-intrusive fishing, and much more. If you're ready for a new kind of fishing adventure this summer, this episode is for you! Huge thanks to Tony for coming on the show! Check out the great podcasts he's putting out over on the Wired to Hunt: Foundations podcast, and if you're looking for a great summer read, pick up a copy of his book, Bowhunting Public Land Whitetails to gear up for fall!
