When he’s not fishing, Michael Rischer is writing about fishing, talking about fishing, and researching river levels and fish counts. As an ambassador of kayak fishing, his utmost goal is to spread his knowledge and passion for fishing from a kayak. Keep checking back for upcoming dates, channels, and websites where you can find him.
ESPN
I was recently invited to ESPN Radio Seattle’s Outdoor Line to discuss the upcoming Spring Chinook fishery. I always love when I get to share my experiences kayak fishing for these huge Spring Chinook.
Interview on Outdoor GPS for PNWSS
Outdoor GPS called me to discuss all the kayak fishing activities going on this year at the Pacific Northwest Sportsmen’s Show at the Portland Expo Center.
It was a long week for me bouncing between working shifts at the Daiwa booth, Next Adventure Booth, Yakima Bait booth, and KoneZone booth, and doing daily seminars on kayak angling. This year was by far the biggest and best show I’ve ever seen.
Thanks to Comcast Sportsnet and Outdoor GPS for having me on the show to discuss.
Northwest Wild Country: NBC Seattle
Invited into the NBC Seattle studio on Saturday for an interview on Northwest Wild Country as part of their “All-Star” episode. What an honor it was to be included in the episode with local Northwest favorites Buzz Ramsey, Scott Haugen, Del Stephens, and Cody Herman to name a few.
Host Joel Shangle, co-hosts Bill Herzog, Duane Inglin & Andy Shanks took great care to make us all feel right at home on air. Check out my kayak fishing portion of the show below.

TV Segment: Kayak Fishing with Cody Herman
I recently did a TV shoot with Comcast Sportsnet Northwest and host Cody Herman on Sturgeon Fishing in Portland Oregon. Check out the video below and watch an 8′ Sturgeon come flying out of the water right in front of our cameraman.
At one point my GPS had us marked at 3.2 MPH going south into one of the shipping yards. Once I finally landed her, she was finished. She came right up to me on the side of my kayak for a couple of pictures while resting next to my kayak in the water, I then pulled her hook out and she slowly swam off into the abyss. What a great experience.
