Starting by netting some spring suckers, he then follows up by putting that sucker meat to use as bait and learning the art of trapping leeches with commercial trapper Scott Green. The whole process comes full circle by heading out on Lake of the Woods with Samantha Wallin in search of Lake of the Wood's prized possession, the golden Walleye.
