The Muskie Hunks

We, the Muskie Hunks are a group of fisherman from the state of Pennsylvania (and Washington) that love fishing and love Muskies. We are not professionals, we are not on the water every day. Our goal is to bring you content from the average anglers perspective and share helpful tips that we are learning in real time. This podcast is for fun and for the love of Muskies.

The Muskie Hunks Podcast ·

2022/12/26

In this laid-back episode, we get a little science-y, as we dive into a strange psychological concept that often pops up in fishing: The Dunning-Kruger effect (Google it). We go down a hole discussing this interesting concept and talking about some of the ways we've seen it in fishing. We talk about some other "musky mindset" questions and ideas, and how we deal with some of the mental abuse that comes as part of musky fishing. We eventually land on our (lack of) Christmas lists for this year.

The Muskie Hunks Podcast ·

2022/12/05

In this episode, we talk with Jake Latkovic of Latkovic Lures. Our chat was so enjoyable that it went the distance at three hours- so, maybe break this one up into a few sections. Jake’s baits recently received a glowing review from the Fat A.Z. Musky Podcast, and have started spreading throughout the PA musky community as fast as he’s able to make them. Jake, local to Pittsburgh, talks about his history in fishing and lure making. We touch on the “79 Belt” of musky baits and whether or not that

E47 - “Hold My Shirt”: The Episode About Nothing

The Muskie Hunks Podcast ·

2022/11/21

In this Hunks-only mess of an episode, we let the wind take us and talk about a little bit of everything. A few of the guys talk about their plans for fall and winter fishing, while a few others talk about some oddball cold weather tactics that many don’t consider. This conversation leads to another conversation (and listener question) about the proper way to "just make it work” with your bass gear if you’re on the fence about getting into musky fishing. We pick this apart and do our best to talk
