E110 - Muskie History Lesson and Story Time with Ray ”Grandpa” Elkins and Josh Marshall

In this episode Josh Marshall and Marshall Custom Tackle facilitate a conversation with one of Ohio's Muskie fishing's greats, Ray "Grandpa" Elkins. Ray is 81 years young and has been Muskie fishing for well over 65 years. Ray gives us some background on how he got started muskie fishing, what it looked like to fish Ohio in the 50's & 60's, how the Ohio Huskie Muskie Club got started and the impact that they have had, how he spent all his money on Wiley's and had to bum money for lunch and how he got the nickname "GRANDPA". This episode is a walk through Ohio Muskie history and Ray tells allot of fun and amazing stories. This was truly an honor for us to interview Ray and we could listen to Grandpa talk muskie fishing for hours. 

Special thank you to Josh Marshall for helping set this up and helping Ray join the call!!!
