In this episode, we welcome Jake Christiansen to the podcast! We had his brother, Josh Christiansen on one of our last episodes, and now we return with more stories from Jake! While growing up Jake might've been the younger brother of the people he hunted with, but now he is an experienced hunter who trains young aspiring outdoorsmen of all ages firearm safety and the proper and ethical ways to hunt!
In this episode, we welcome back expert fly fisherman and renowned author, John Huber to the podcast! John sheds light on societal norms, and the concept of the red and blue pill, and what path each option could lead to. Of course, it wouldn't be a BigFishStory without some fishing too, so you're in for a treat, as John has plenty more great and exciting stories to share!!
Join us on this episode of Big Fish Stories as we sit down with Reed Schuler, a master hunter from Idaho with a lifelong passion for the great outdoors.
Eric is an experienced hunter and fisherman who grew up in Jackson, Wyoming. He started fly fishing at the age of 3 with his dad, and grew up doing that until he started hunting at the age of 13….
Folks, we have something truly special for you. Our guest is a true Idaho badass. If you are an Idaho hunter or outdoorsman, you definitely know his name. If you don’t know him, you soon will on the upcoming season of ALONE premiering TODAY on The History Channel … The man himself…. MR. BENJI HILL!

Ben is relatively new to the hunting world, but after finding sustainability and health benefits in consuming food from the wild, he takes all the opportunity he can to provide him and his family with the cleanest meat possible.
Ben is a self proclaimed "head to tail" eater and experiments with all the different methods of consuming parts of the animal that most people glaze over. In short, Ben is one step below Liver King and will hate that I put that in the description for this podcast. ;)
You rarely meet a person who walks the talk when it comes to hunting. Mr. Chris Cey absolutely walks the talk. Almost all of the meat he consumes comes from wild game and if you talk to him for 5 minutes, you will quickly understand the care he has for the animals he eats.
Growing up with hunting in his family, he has mastered the craft, where hunting has become almost protocol as a necessity for gathering the meat his family needs for the year. Growing in his understanding of birds and biggame, he now passes on his knowledge to anyone willing to learn the way of the hunter.
It is an honor to have him on Big Fish Stories.
I want to welcome you all to a clash of ideals in our society. In this corner, we have Tyler, a hunter, fisherman and meat eater. And in this corner, we have skier, filmmaker and plant-based eater, Leo Corrales. In all seriousness, Leo and I have known each other for several years and have learned so much from one another’s perspective.
Enjoy a great conversation about ethics, conservatorship, sustainability and of course, some hunting and fishing stories.
WARNING! This podcast is not for everyone. There is one story in particular that people may find offensive... To preface, we were dumb young kids.
From a family of multiple generations of hunting, Josh has a unique perspective. Hunting has always been a way of life for him and his family. Josh is a different type of hunter - focusing on slow steady movements and trying to find what other hunters may have missed.
ANNNDDDDD FINALLY! We have ourselves a fishing master telling some of his Big Fish Stories. This man has been fishing and competing in bass tournaments since he was a youngster. From boating mishaps to giant Idaho bass, he is a force to be reckoned with on any body of water.
This man taught me everything I know about Bass fishing and is one of the reasons I have become completely obssessed. His enthusiasm for these fish is contagious, and we welcome Mr. Reece Jolley to Big Fish Stories.
I can't say Levi is the best hunter, the best fisherman, or the best outdoorsman, but man is he entertaining to watch learn the crafts.
Today we talk about his growth as a hunter and how it's not enough to just be lucky (although it helps). After 3 long years of missed opportunities and mistakes on both our ends, Levi finally had his glorious day equaling hundreds of pounds of meat.
Also, I have a riddle for you:
What is a terrible mistake to make on your shot placement, that also leads to the easiest packout you've ever had? Find out the answer in the podcast!
Let me tell you about Mr. Nic Turco. This guy takes his hunting serious and is on a completely new level of physical fitness. I brag to everyone I know about him because he is strong, smart and extremely humble about his fitness and hunting. Dude would never do this podcast without me convincing him to do it. He doesn't like the limelight, but for me, he is a "must-have" on my podcast, as he is the best hunter I know.
From mule deer, to archery elk, to big horn sheep, this guy is slowly becoming an expert at hunting these big animals.
On our first episode, Mike Hendricks (my father) tells his most embarrassing hunting story, while also painting the picture of why Hunter's Safety is so important. We talk about his life before hunting, then going straight to rural Montana and discovering his love for the outdoors and the learning curve involved - now passing his life lessons on to me, and it becoming my passion and pursuit in life.
