We’re fired up to welcome Gage Gordon to Whiskey n’ Walleye Radio Episode #6.

Gage is one of the hottest sticks in tournament walleye fishing right now and an even better guy off the water. If you’ve been following the National Walleye Tour this season, you already know the name.

The guy is on an absolute run right now.

We’ll be talking tournament strategy, breaking down this incredible season so far, and hearing how he approaches some of the toughest fisheries in the country.

Episode #5 is coming in hot…

We’re fired up to have Beau Schilling joining us on Whiskey n’ Walleye Radio — one of the rising names in tournament walleye fishing right now.

Beau isn’t just another young angler… he’s already putting up serious results and turning heads across the Midwest. Coming off a huge season and heading into his rookie year on the National Walleye Tour, he’s got real momentum behind him.

A standout moment?
Winning the South Dakota Governor’s Cup on Lake Oahe with a massive 61+ lb two-day bag — the kind of performance that puts everyone on notice.

We’re diving into what’s working, how he’s approaching tournaments, and what it really takes to compete at a high level this early in your career.

Episode #4 is here…and this one is loaded with local knowledge.

We’re bringing on Marcus Quam - one of the most dialed-in anglers in Northeast South Dakota and owner of Reel Therapy Guide Service.

If you’ve ever fished the glacial lakes around Webster, you know how tough they can be… and Marcus is one of the guys who consistently figures them out.

- Full-time guide putting clients on fish day in and day out

- A true “wealth of information” on the glacial lakes

- Tournament angler who knows how to break down water and adapt fast

He will join our host Dave Chapman to dive into:

• How to approach South Dakota glacial lakes

• Finding fish when conditions change

• What actually works vs. what people think works

If you fish this region, or plan to sometime, this is one you don’t miss.

Here we go! Episode #3.

• 8 career wins + 60+ top 10 finishes across NWT, AIM, and MWC
• Three time MWC Team of the Year
• USA National Predator Team Captain, competing internationally in England & Northern Ireland

This is the kind of guy who doesn’t just catch fish — he figures them out faster than anyone else.

We’re diving into:

• Tournament mindset

• What separates good anglers from elite ones
• And how he’s built a career at such a young age

🎙️ 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟮 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗻’ 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹.

Mark your calendar. This Sunday night at 6:30 PM Central, we’re joined by one of the most respected sticks in tournament walleye fishing — Darrell Peters — and he’s bringing his daughters Kyra & Kadence with him.

Darrell has stacked wins across multiple circuits over the years, but what makes him stand out even more is how he does it — almost always fishing side-by-side with his girls. Competitive fishing, family, teaching the next generation… this is what the sport is supposed to be about.

He will sit down with our host David Chapman to talk tournament decision making, raising anglers, learning on the water, and the lessons you only get from thousands of hours chasing walleyes together.

Same deal as always — real fishing talk with real people who actually live it.

We’re beyond fired up to kick off Whiskey n’ Walleye Radio with a legendary walleye angler — Tom Huynh!

Tom is one of the most talked-about names on the National Walleye Tour, and for good reason. He’s a two-time National Walleye Tour Champion, dominating the championship event against some of the best pros in the sport and proving his skill, strategy, and consistency on big water time and time again.

Whether it’s adapting on the fly, reading structure, or outthinking the field when the bite gets tough, Tom has earned his place among the elite and is revered by tournament anglers and everyday fishermen alike.

On this first episode of Whiskey n’ Walleye Radio, we dive into:

- Tom’s rise in competitive walleye fishing

- His tournament mindset and go-to strategies

- What it takes to fish at an elite level on big lakes

- Behind-the-scenes stories you’ve never heard before

Hosted by David Chapman, this is the kind of conversation every walleye angler will want to hear — whether you fish tournaments or just love chasing walleyes on your favorite lake.

Tune in tonight to the first Episode of Whiskey n' Walleye Radio. Let's make this launch one to remember.
