S2-E06: Freshwater Drum with Danielle Prewett and Frank Smethurstįor the finale of Das Boat Season 2, MeatEater Wild Foods Contributor Danielle Prewett and longtime fishing guide Frank Smethurst, head to Red Lake, Minnesota. Along the way they discuss whether or not it really takes 10,000 casts to catch a musky, losing the fish of a lifetime right at the boat, the figure 8, how bluegills make you feel like a winner, and a hell of a lot more. They also convert a cooler into a livewell to keep bait and fish alive.
Before hitting the water, they give Das Boat a serious lake fishing upgrade with state-of-the-art electronics and a powerful trolling motor. Panfish, on the other hand, are seen as entry-level-too small, abundant, and easy to fool to merit the attention of “serious anglers.” Oliver and Kevin show that fishing is fun, plain and simple, no matter how serious or laid back you want to make it. They are a coveted prize for dedicated fisherfolk. These targets represent opposite poles of the fishing spectrum: Musky (also known as muskellunge) are one of the largest, most difficult freshwater fish in North America. Oliver and Kevin are here for two things: big musky and delicious panfish. S2-E04: Northern Wisconsin Musky with Oliver Ngy and Kevin Harlanderĭos Boat heads west to meet up with Oliver Ngy and Kevin Harlander in North Central Wisconsin. They cap off the episode with a delicious meal of fried sucker balls. From there, Cal and Miles head over to the Mississippi River to try their luck on a population of river buffalo that don’t get hunted with bows and are successfully reproducing. Cal and Miles tag along with Alec to help release some buffalo that he was studying in a capture pen he fills them in on why these are such cool fish Miles tries-unsuccessfully-to catch one of these octogenarian fish in the lake and then they sit down with some local bow fishers to share a conversation and some beer.
Second, in the Detroit Lakes, and probably other places as well, these fish have not consistently reproduced in over 80 years. No one actually knows just how long, but the oldest specimen he’s dated was 112. Alec studies big mouth buffalo in the Detroit Lakes area and has discovered some fascinating facts about these fish: First, they live a long time. After that, they meet Alec Lackmann, the world’s foremost expert on a fish that few people care about. The guys build a raised casting platform on Das Boat, using supplies scavenged from the trash heap behind a local hardware store.
In this episode, MeatEater's Ryan Callaghan and Miles Nolte travel to Minnesota to learn more about, and even try to catch, big mouth buffalo.

Something that I enjoy the series are the Musicals, these in most of the occasions are pleasant and of the taste for almost all, they help to understand the situation in which the characters are living.
