🎙️ LIVE In-Studio Premiere! This isn't just any episode — it's a legacy-level first: the very first in-studio recording of the Angler’s Wisdom Podcast.

And to mark the occasion, Chuck Earls sits down with none other than Bud Riser — legendary conservationist, founder of Walleye Magazine, and one of the driving forces behind the grassroots ban on gill nets across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

For decades, Bud has connected anglers, spoken truth on conservation stages, and fought for the future of Lake Erie — from the docks to the Ohio Sea Grant boardroom, and even under the water, building artificial reefs to bring fish habitat back to life.

🎣 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How Bud helped unite fishing clubs across three states to ban gill nets

• The rise of Walleye Magazine and what it meant to the community

• Behind-the-scenes stories from artificial reef construction

• Bud’s insights on catching perch, trophy walleye, and preserving a fishery

• What Lake Erie’s future demands from us right now

🎭 Plus: A surprise action figure moment you won’t forget — the kind of story that forges legacy.
