E85 - Westside Connection - Tigers n’at

This week the Hunks are joined by return guest/friend of the pod, Ryan Elizondo, as well as his fiancée Lynn Hotchkiss and their good friend Nick Granato. Ryan and Lynn talk about how they met and how Lynn has proven herself as a strong and confident Muskie angler in recent years, and the positive influence that strong female anglers can have in the industry. Nick Granato tells us about the state of the Tiger Muskie fishery out in Utah, where he fishes out of the Salt Lake City area. Nick talks about the stocking program, how the DNR decides where to stock them, and we talk about some of the basic biological, ecological and recreational reasonings behind stocking tiger Muskies in western lakes and reservoirs. Ryan, Lynn and Nick then tell us about their Muskies Inc Chapter tournament, which was held on Nick’s home waters in Utah, and the *3 Muskieteers* took home a big win. As always, there are many random spin-off discussions that you won’t want to miss!
