This week we talk with the originator and creator Brandon Lilly of Figureight F8 Musky Gear started the trend of muskie apparel. 9 years ago the husband and wife duo took a chance on creating apparel that would take the muskie world by storm. Apparel that the everyday muskie angler could wear and be comfortable on the water. The business of Figureight F8 Musky Gear has expanded not only from an apparel company, but now to hosting annual tournaments in West Virginia and Virginia. Come along the journey and hear how this great company is making a comeback in 2025. You Muskie Maxers and the rest of you Muskie Nutz are not going to miss out on what’s coming for 2025.

This week the Hunks are joined by return guest, none other than Ben Stone of Ben Stone Media. Ben sits down to talk about his season from last year, some of his past work filming for Kanal Gratis and Devoted Outdoors and what he has planned coming up for his new venture which includes all types of outdoor videography and editing.

In this episode, it’s our privilege to chat with Greg Nimmer, who illustrates over and over during this talk why he’s known all around the country for his one-of-a-kind creative genius. Greg shares some of his journey making off-the-rails and unique musky baits for over 20 years (in an equally unique way). He tells us about his first expos, some things he’s learned in fishing and in building, and what his creative process looks like when it comes to dreaming up his zany creations. He gives us a few secrets and unexpected surprises, holds back on a few others, and tells us some incredible fishing stories from the north woods of Wisconsin. It’s a click-clackin’ good time.
