Our guest has an uncle known the world around as “Mister Walleye,” Gary Roach. If our guest had a nickname, we think it should be “Mister Multi-species.” Tony Roach catches everything that swims! Roach is an accomplished fisherman, guide, tackle designer, radio, television and Internet celebrity. Listen to this interview with Tony Roach and learn how to catch more fish!
Mike Emerson and his crew of famous artists at the Fish Print Shop have a new and very economical way to show off your catch-of-a-lifetime while allowing it to be released to be caught again.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about the upcoming spring fishing season.

They call our main guest “The Tin Man.”
If John Cox is the Tin Man, who the heck is the Cowardly Lion and who is the Scarecrow? They call Cox the Tin Man because he is one of the very few bass fishing professionals to run an aluminum boat. It must be a good plan because Cox is at the very top of his game. Listen as he tells us how he scored a hundred grand, winning a wire-to-wire victory at the FLW Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about early spring patterns.
Ken Duke from Fishing Tackle Retailer Magazine is with us to discuss the part that sponsors play in an angler’s decision as to which circuit he fishes in.

Okay guys! Does anyone out there think that girls can’t fish? Maybe there is a caveman or maybe a few that still think that way, but please let us introduce you to our lead guest, Jen Ripple. Jen is the best female fly fisherwoman in the world today and we don’t think it is a stretch to claim that Jen Ripple is possible the best fly fisher in the world, without reservation. Listen to this brilliant and personable angler in a very interesting and informative interview here this week. She published Dun Magazine and travels the world in search of encounters with huge fighting fish. Jen is one of our favorites.
Tod Alberto runs the huge Chicagoland Fishing, Travel & Outdoor Expo and joins us to talk about it.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about fishing shows and expos in general.

It takes a set of big ones to call yourself the “world’s greatest striper fisherman.” Greg Myerson can back that claim up completely. He holds the world record, just under 82-pounds, a record that was in place for 29 years before he broke it. He has a book that is titled “Born to Fish: How an Obsessed Angler Became the World’s Greatest Striped Bass Fisherman.” He owns a tackle company that was featured on Shark Tank and he is now partners with Mark Cuban. How cool is this guy? He’s the only guest we have ever had on the show who has been fishing with Taylor Swift, that’s how cool!
Barb Carey of Oxford, Wisconsin joins us to talk about the Women Ice Angler Project.
High school superstar Trey McKinney joins us again to talk bass fishing, compliments of St. Croix.

Just three letters say it all KVD!!!
Kevin VanDam is the best angler on the planet and he joins us for one of the most fun interviews we have ever done. He talks about why he is the MLF Bass Pro Tour. He talks about his sponsors and his big switch to Lew’s. He tells us about his family and how important his lovely wife Sherry is to his fishing efforts. Did Steve really ask KVD if he keeps a steam iron in his tackle box? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!
The “Ned Rig” is named after Ned Kehde, a Kansas native who is a true fishing legend. Our second interview with Ned will blow your minds!
Trey McKinney is a high schooler who is shocking the fishing world with his success. He is sponsored by St. Croix and this interview shows that Trey is mature beyond his years. You’ll love hearing him talk fishing.
