Spot Burn is back for 2025!! Welcome to our new studio and plenty of wild new stories! We’ve got big plans for this year: more episodes, more hard-hitting topics, and more of the unfiltered stories you requested.

This episode covers everything from the hilarious musky meltdowns of New Year’s Eve (when grown men quit the sport and sell their gear) to alarming industry trends like the closure of small fly shops and the massive oil spill in Jefferson County. We’ll also share our biggest fish of the 2024 season, the wild story of a gun being pulled during an ice fishing dispute, and all our late season success.
