Catch the action of Fishing 411 with Mark Romanack this week on The Sportsman Channel. Host Mark Romanack takes us to Northwest Ontario after the king of fresh water fish. Mark is on Eagle Lake, fishing out of Andy Myers Lodge. Eagle Lake has produced the world record musky twice, and Mark is hoping for a hat trick as he jumps in the boat with Veteran Guide Scott Jaeger. The two anglers cast a combination of jerk baits, spinners, and topwater lures to entice the big fish. Although the bite is a little slow, the pair manages to land four fish, two of them pushing the magic fifty inch mark. Lot’s of big fish action this week on Fishing 411 with Mark Romanack. A clip of this episode will also be available on the web at http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com
