From the Ice to the Edit: Telling the Story of Kasey Morgan’s First Sturgeon Harvest

Most people see a frozen lake; Kasey Morgan saw an obsession. On February 20, 2025, the owner of DeerFest and co-host of Huntworx stood over a dark hole in the ice of Lake Winnebago, waiting for a giant that has roamed these waters since the prehistoric era.

Embedded with the legendary Muche clan, Kasey didn’t just go fishing—he went to school. Learning from a family that defines "expert" sturgeon spearing, Kasey described the experience as "drinking through a fire hose." The decades of Muche family secrets led to one heart-stopping moment when the spear finally flew, marking Kasey’s first-ever sturgeon harvest.
