EP. 118 Tribute: The Ladies Behind the Godfather of Ice Fishing: Meet the Genz Girls
In Memory of Patsy M. Genz 1948-2020
Anyone who ice fishes has heard of Dave Genz. Dave is called the godfather of ice fishing and has revolutionized the sport.

Missy and Kathy said they didn’t grow up fishing, they grew up catching! Listen in as we talk to the three of them around their kitchen table, and find out the rest of the story.
