Jeremy has been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod and reel. From an early age his passion for fishing has never stopped growing. He has an education from Gustavus Adolphus College (Biology/Business) and Bemidji State University (Education). Throughout the summers of his college years, Jeremy was a fishing guide in northern Minnesota, specializing in musky fishing. Upon graduating from college, he dove head first into the sports fishing world, and has been there ever since. Since then Jeremy has worked in almost every element of the business: magazine sales, television sales, magazine writing and editing, television editing and producing, tournament organization, still photography, videography and on-camera talent to name a few of the hats he has worn. Jeremy loves to catch anything that swims and tries to take full advantage of the best bite going. Given the time, he loves going searching for new water off the beaten path. Whether it is for largemouth, smallmouth, muskies, cats, sturgeon, lake trout, whitefish or carp, anything is fair game. Jeremy has long worked with Lindner Media on the production of much of their commercial work. He has also operated as the field director for the FLW Bass Tournaments that Lindner Media produced, and assisted with many of the other television operations.

Joe Cermele has been in fishing media full time since graduating college in 2005. He’s authored three books, and written more articles, blogs, scripts, and voiceovers than he could count. Joe currently hosts the Cut & Retie Podcast. He was the host of the Hook Shots video series and podcast, and most recently the host of B-Side Fishing, Das Boat, and the Bent podcast on the MeatEater Network. Listen to the Cut & Retie Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/6yahhM4T0pZBq0h3CkQxeg Cermele was born into a fishing family. His grandparents on his dad’s side always had a boat and spent lots of time at local lakes and rivers. His grandparents on his mom’s side owned a bait and tackle shop in Trenton, New Jersey. Growing up, Cermele had two loves—fishing and music. He also loved to write, and when he finally realized his metal band wasn’t going to be the next Metallica, he decided to marry his love of writing and fishing while studying journalism in college. What has really helped drive Cermele’s career is a genuine interest in all types of fishing. He’ll soak live shiners for bass one day, fly fish for trout the next, and fire poppers at tuna the day after that. He’s traveled the world chasing myriad species, but for him the reward of those trips is less about catching a fish and more about spending time with anglers from all walks of life, learning what they do, and relaying their wisdom to his readers, viewers, and listeners. Cermele lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with his wife and two children, close to his beloved Delaware River and Jersey Shore. Capt.

In this podcast, we discuss the recent cheating scandals that have rocked the world of competitive fishing, and what it means for the future of fishing tournaments. We talk pro walleye anglers Joe Okada and Brett King along with Denny Fox from the Aim Pro Walleye Series to get their insights on the problem of cheating and how to prevent it in the future. We also discuss the impact that cheating has on the sport of fishing as a whole. When anglers cheat, it undermines the integrity of the sport and makes it difficult for honest anglers to compete fairly. It also damages the reputation of the sport and can deter new anglers from participating. It is important to remember that the vast majority of anglers are honest and ethical. However, the recent fishing tournament cheating scandals shows that there are a small number of anglers who are willing to cheat to win. It is important to take steps to prevent cheating in the future, in order to protect the integrity of the sport and ensure that everyone has a fair chance to compete. Capt.
