In this episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and the crew welcome Ross Robertson from Big Water Fishing—guide, author, YouTuber, and one of Lake Erie’s top walleye experts—for his first-ever appearance on the show. The guys dive deep into a discussion about forward-facing sonar, how pro anglers are adapting to the fast-changing tech landscape, and the role of media in fishing. Plus, you’ll hear stories from ICAST, updates from the Fish’n Canada store, and the alarming confirmation that grass carp have officially breached the Great Lakes. If you’re interested in the future of fishing, this episode pulls no punches.
