Fishing

At Outdoor Ruhls, fishing is more than a pastime—it’s the thread that stitches together generations of our family. Our podcast has carried listeners from the tidal flats of the Chesapeake Bay to the trout streams of Montana, the bass waters of Pennsylvania, and far across the Atlantic. Every cast tells a story, and every story reminds us that fishing is about more than just the catch—it’s about who you’re with, the lessons you learn, and the memories you bring home.

We’ve spent countless mornings surf fishing on the East Coast, chasing stripers as the sun came up over the waves. We’ve crisscrossed the Midwest and mountain states in search of trout, bass, and walleye, sharing tips and tales of success and failure along the way. Fly rods and spinning gear both have their place in our family debates, and we’ve recorded it all—sometimes over fish fry dinners, sometimes while still in waders.

Internationally, our adventures have carried us north to Norway, where halibut, cod, and wolf fish tested our patience and skill in cold, wild waters. We’ve fished with our kids, our parents, and our grandparents, honoring traditions that began long before microphones were ever set on a table.

Through the Outdoor Ruhls Podcast, we share these fishing exploits not as trophies, but as touchpoints: reminders of where we’ve been, who we’ve loved fishing beside, and where we hope to cast next. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or someone just learning to tie a hook, our fishing stories are meant to inspire, teach, and celebrate the simple joy of time on the water.
