On this episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, Angelo is solo in the studio but is joined by two very special guests to break down the recent cheating scandal in the Lake Erie Walleye Trail.

First, however, some brief housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed include: 500km walleye journeys; fish-finding dogs; getting your tent ransacked; and sea-run brookies.

With those matters out of the way, Ang is joined by one-half of the LEWT Team of the Year, Steve Hendricks, to talk about his first-hand experience with the recent cheating scandal. Topics discussed include: how he knew his competitors were cheating; looking back on second-place finishes; whether this was the first time; the reaction of the other LEWT anglers; avoiding fights; caging fish in reeds; how to stop future cheating; and winning Team of the Year.

Next, Ang calls up good friend and famed tournament director, Andy Pallotta, to get his take on the matter. Topics discussed include: introducing polygraphs to fishing tournaments; what LEWT should have done differently; what happens to cheaters in the CSFL; breaking rules vs. cheating; social media’s role; Pro v. Semi-Pro; how the tournament industry will adapt; putting competitors on the same boat; and banning LiveScope.

To end the show, Ang revisits one of his most memorable interviews in Outdoor Journal Radio history and replays his conversation with Gary Morrison, who was just days removed from cheating in the 2002 Great Ontario Salmon Derby.

This episode of Outdoor Journal Radio comes to you live from ICAST 2022!
While Pete wanders the floor looking for guests, Ang is solo in the ICAST media room to bring you the housekeeping segment of the show. Topics discussed include: renaming the Asian Carp; eating Copi, and whether eating Asian Carp can solve our invasive species problem.
With that story out of the way, Pete joins us from the floor of ICAST with bass fishing legend and good friend of the show, Roland Martin! Topics discussed include: the rise of bass fishing in Canada; Zebra Mussels improving bass fishing; prioritizing catch and release fishing; the educational value of tournament fishing; how fast bass forget being caught; the new season of Fishing with Roland Martin; Walleye being the Bass of the north; the YouTube fishing formula; razzle dazzling; getting upset by big fish; and the importance of sunscreen.
While Pete looks for more guests, Ang returns with a breakdown on using wood to find Largemouth Bass!
Next, Pete tracks down Garmin's Danny Thompson to discuss the latest additions to Livescope. Topics discussed include: Garmin’s new Livescope + ice kit; distinguishing fish from bottom; how forward view saves you from drilling extra holes; Livescope XR; seeing 500 feet down in real time; jigging for Saskatchewan Lake Trout; and spotting Lake Trout burps.
After Danny, Pete heads back onto the floor and Ang takes on the fan question solo. This week's question was: Do you think that deep water fishing in warm water is unethical? Do released fish have the same chance of survival?

Topics discussed include: what tournament anglers do at ICAST; Cory’s latest tournament; getting calm weather on Lake Ontario; the CJ Smasher; seeing fish that you can’t catch; how 100lbs of Smallmouth are caught; modern fishing pressure; and the lifestyle of a professional tournament angler.
