A new champion was crowned at the National Walleye Tour Championship on Ottertail Lake. We talk to the champ himself Eric McQuoid, along with Angler of the Year Drake Herd about their success throughout the NWT season and at the championship. We find out how they caught their fish on Ottertail, what it was like staying in the same house and what they won. Erik Osberg is also with us to talk about what it was like hosting the event and how they dealt with some particularly shallow water.

Joe Henry from Lake of the Woods Tourism is back and gives us an update on how things are like crossing the Canadian border these days and what getting to the Northwest Angle is like. We talk about the different fishing and hunting opportunities the Northwest Angle has to offer in the fall. Joe also talks about the requirements needed including what Covid tests are necessary these days, if any at all.

We're on Rumble now! Bret Amundson and Dan Amundson start this week's show by recapping how their duck openers went. Joe Henry joins to give an update on the Northwest Angle, Canadian border crossing and Lake of the Woods. Then we talk to the newest National Walleye Tour champion, Eric McQuoid, and this year's NWT Angler of the Year Drake Herd. Eric is just 21 years old and took home a GIANT check. We ask him what he won, how he won it, and what it's like being a champ. Drake also recaps his tournament and how the two friends helped each other out during the week. Erik Osberg is also on as the NWT championship was held in the heart of Ottertail Lakes Country, Ottertail Lake itself. #nationalwalleyetour #walleyefishing #nwt #ericmcquoid #ottertaillake #nwtchampionship #northwestangle #lakeofthewoods
