Isaac Lakich is back not he JMO Podcast after yet another major walleye tournament win. On the heels of the National Walleye Tour Championship where Isaac hoisted the winning trophy, he joins the show to share the details of the tournament and how it all came together for him. This NWT championship took place on the east end of Lake Sakakawea in western North Dakota. The bite was difficult despite the abundance of fish in the system. Isaac and his teammates Will Pappenfus, Jake Caughy, and Hunter Nitti figured out a formula for getting these stingy fish to bite and it was ultimately Isaac who put it all together for all three days to win the event and take home a new Nitro boat. There's a lot to learn in this walleye fishing podcast.

Brady Thelen and Dakota Tschetter join the JMO Podcast for the first time. They signed up to fish the Aftco Throwdown walleye tournament together out of Akaska, SD earlier this summer. With no expectations they set out to have a fun weekend fishing, not much different than a typical recreational guys weekend. Things became a bit more exciting when 12 minutes into the first morning of competition Brady caught a 13.85lb walleye that held onto the lead the rest of the weekend and was good enough to win 1st place and take home a Ford Pickup. Lake Oahe is producing some of the biggest walleyes across the country these days. We get the full scoop about their winning formula in this interview.
