The Ultimate Outdoor Roundup: Catching 50-Inch Pike, Trapping Feral Hogs, and Exploring the Dallas Safari Club Summer Show
CATFISH RADIO - JULY 25TH PODCAST EDITION Segment 1: Hog Trapping Innovations with Anthony Tew Topic: Effective and accessible wild hog control for landowners. Guest: Anthony Tew, co-owner of a hog trap company (thepighogtrap.com). Key Takeaways: Anthony discusses his company's user-friendly, shippable hog traps made from heavy-duty, baseball-style netting. The traps feature a massive 60-foot diameter, catching entire sounders at once without harming non-target animals like deer. The system is highly accessible; a single person can easily set it up in about 30 minutes using standard T-posts and ground anchors. Segment 2: Canada's "Pigloos" and Wild Boars Topic: The history and challenges of hunting feral hogs in Canada. Guest: Brad Fenson, Canadian outdoor writer and wildlife biologist. Key Takeaways: Brad explains the origins of Canada's wild pigs, which are hybrids of escaped European boars (imported in the 1990s) and domestic feral hogs. These highly intelligent animals survive harsh Canadian winters by building burrowed nests in cattails and forests, affectionately referred to as "pigloos." Despite eradication efforts and bounties, their learned behavior and adaptability make them incredibly challenging to hunt. Segment 3: Northern Pike Fishing and Camp Cooking Topic: Big game fishing in Saskatchewan and wild game culinary skills. Guest: Brad Fenson (Continuing). Key Takeaways: The conversation shifts to a recent fishing trip at Cree River Lodge in Saskatchewan, highlighted by an impressive story of catching a 50-inch Northern Pike in shallow water. Luke and Brad discuss traditional Canadian shore lunches and Brad’s expertise as a camp chef, covering techniques for cooking and canning wild game and fish. Segment 4: The DSC Summer Show and Event Updates Topic: Upcoming outdoor events and hunting opportunities. Guests: Larry Weishuhn (Mr. Whitetail) and an introduction by producer Dustin Vaughn Warncke. Key Takeaways: Luke and Larry talk about the Dallas Safari Club (DSC) Summer Show happening July 25th at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Center, featuring major exhibitors and auctions.

The hosts share a casual conversation over Agara Coffee, highlighting its unique cognitive benefits for outdoor enthusiasts. Featured Sponsors Mentioned Across Segments: Outdoor Gear & Firearms: Pyramid Air, CVA Muzzleloaders, Stealth Vision Optics.

Busting Feral Hog Myths & Prepping for Early Deer Season, Bear Hunts & Buttermilk Soaked Pork
Catfish Radio – July 17th Podcast Summary Host: Luke Clayton Guests: Larry Weishuhn & Jeff "Crypto Hulk" Stewart Show Highlights: Celebrating 20 years of Catfish Radio, preparing for the upcoming deer season, and sharing expert culinary tips for feral hog. Show Overview & Announcements 20-Year Anniversary: Luke Clayton and producer Dustin Vaughn Warncke kick off the episode by celebrating two decades of broadcasting Catfish Radio. Upcoming Outdoor Events: Larry Weishuhn breaks down his time at the Texas Wildlife Association convention and previews the upcoming DSC Summer Expo and Foundation Gala. Agara Coffee: Larry shares his latest obsession with Agara Coffee, joking that its special blend has been doing wonders for his memory and focus out in the field. Segment 1: Deer Season Prep & Crossbow Hunting Antler Biology: The hosts discuss the approaching deer season, noting that trail cameras show bucks currently in bachelor herds. They dive into the biology of antler growth and how rising testosterone levels cause bucks to shed—and often eat—their own velvet for energy conservation. Crossbow Mechanics: Luke highlights his positive experiences with his new 10-Point crossbow, noting how its advanced design takes the hassle out of cocking and decocking compared to older models. Black Bear Hunt: Larry reveals he is gearing up for a black bear hunt at the Choctaw Hunting Lodge, where he plans to put his 10-Point crossbow to the test. Season Kickoff: The team reminds listeners that early deer seasons are right around the corner, with South Carolina’s low country opening as early as August 15th. Segment 2: Feral Hog Management & Wild Game Cooking Hog Eradication Work: Jeff "Crypto Hulk" Stewart joins the program to share insights from his feral hog eradication efforts helping East Texas landowners protect their pastures and hay meadows. Select Table Fare: Jeff and Luke debunk myths about wild pork, explaining that it is naturally leaner, redder, and richer in flavor than store-bought pork due to their active lifestyle. They recommend targeting younger boars under 125 pounds or young gilts for optimal flavor. Dutch Oven Pulled Pork: Jeff walks through his preferred recipe: smoking cubed wild pork in beef broth inside a Dutch oven on a pellet grill using mesquite pellets, garlic, onion, and cilantro for perfect taco meat. Chili & Pork Schnitzel: The crew shares their favorite ways to stretch wild game, including smoked hog chili using Wicks Fowler mix, smoked hog shoulder rubbed in real butter, and a wild pork schnitzel tenderized using a lactic-acid-rich buttermilk soak before being fried in lard. Cookbook Resource: Jeff highlights his text, Texas Jack's Wild Game and Venison Cookbook, for listeners looking to expand their wild game kitchen repertoire. Featured Destinations & Sponsors Choctaw Hunting Lodge: Highlighted as a premier Southeast Oklahoma destination for trophy white-tailed deer, eastern turkey, and wild hog hunting. Sponsor Acknowledgments: Show notes credit Stealth Vision optics, CVA muzzleloaders and centerfire rifles, Pyramid Air, Dash for Cash Pawn Shop, Smokin Tex electric smokers, Ultramatic Feeders, and Platinum Cadillac/Chevrolet in Terrell, Texas.

Talking Classic Guns with Luke and Larry, Lake Fork Summer Catfish, Wild Game Recipes & Reeling In Summer Catfish
Catfish Radio with Luke Clayton July 11, 2026 Segment 1: The TWA Convention & Classic Hunting Rifles Luke kicks things off with his good friend and wildlife legend, Larry Weishuhn. The two dive into some great hunting talk, starting with the 41st Texas Wildlife Association convention at the JW Marriott in San Antonio. Grand Auction Highlights: Up for grabs this year is a beautifully engraved 300 Savage Model 99 and Larry's iconic Brown Western hat (which once fetched $5,000 at auction!). Bidding is available via onlinehuntingauctions.com. Dusting Off the Classics: Luke and Larry reminisce about taking old rifles back into the woods. They discuss legendary firearms like the Winchester Model 94, Model 95, and Savage 99. Gunsmith Shoutout: A special mention goes to Mr. Chapman, a talented gunsmith in Buffalo, Texas, who revived an old 1957 Winchester Model 88 (.243) originally owned by Larry's father-in-law, Ed Potter. Segment 3: Precision Optics & More Classic Firearms Larry Weishuhn returns to talk about taking your shooting accuracy to the next level. Stealth Vision Optics: Larry highlights Stealth Vision scopes, developed by Dr. John McCall in Crockett, Texas. These optics feature robust 34mm tubes and a specialized green light anti-cant system that ensures you are perfectly leveled before you pull the trigger. Old Guns Continued: The nostalgia continues as Larry and Luke swap stories about the .405 Winchester (Teddy Roosevelt’s go-to), the versatile 7x57mm Mauser, and Dub Wallace’s classic .32-20. Segment 3: Reeling in Big Channel Cats at Lake Fork Luke shifts gears from the woods to the water, bringing on David Hanson, a veteran guide who has been fishing Lake Fork for over a quarter of a century. The Catch: David breaks down how to target chunky channel catfish. While average catches run 1.5 to 6 pounds, lucky anglers can reel in monsters up to 17 pounds. Current Tactics: The catfish are currently holding in 8 to 18 feet of water. David recommends getting out at daylight and waiting for them in shallower 8 to 10-foot baited holes. The Rig: Use a straight-down rig with 30-pound braid and a cheap, highly sensitive rod. Stick to a #6 treble hook—anything over a #4 is too big, and a smaller, cheaper hook will easily bend out if you get hung up on a log. 🔪 David's Catfish Fillet Pro-Tip: Channel catfish have a distinct yellow streak of fat running down their spine. You must trim this fat line out of the meat before cooking to ensure a clean, perfect flavor. Segment 4: Luke's Camp Kitchen & Special Deals Nothing caps off a day of hunting or fishing quite like a great camp meal. Luke shares two of his favorite easy-to-make recipes for the outdoors. Luke's Camp Baked Beans Prep: Heat olive oil or bacon grease in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Sauté: Add one medium chopped onion, 2 seeded and chopped jalapeños, and 5 to 6 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until translucent. Combine: Pour in a cheap can of baked beans. Stir in dark brown sugar and your favorite BBQ sauce to taste. Simmer: Toss in sliced smoked venison or pork sausage links and let the whole skillet simmer for 20 minutes. Wild Venison Stir-Fry Marinate: Thinly slice venison ham steak or backstrap. Marinate it in a mix of soy sauce and Kikkoman stir-fry sauce for 24 hours. Cook: Fire up the skillet and stir-fry the meat with chopped broccoli, carrots, celery, and jalapeños. Serve: Toss in some peanuts or cashews for crunch, and serve hot over a bed of Jasmine rice.
