Steve and Dave are in Orlando at ICAST and Steve was unable to record an interview with our usual superstar-caliber main guest. Instead, we go back into the vault and bring back an interview with the most popular fisherman of all time, the one-and-only Bill Dance from 2017. It’s always a pleasure to hear from Bill and it’s nice to be able to hear Steve and Dave together in the studio for the first time in close to a year-and-a-half. Check out one of our favorite interviews of all time.
Marianne Huskey made walleye fishing history recently when she bested the field and won the H2H Pro Walleye Series event on the Mississippi River. It is believed to be the first time a woman angler has won a major walleye tournament. Marianne joins us to talk about it.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix is on hand to dissect the very important topic of fishing deep weed edges.

Our featured guest is certainly not up Schmitt’s Creek! No way! Maryland’s Bryan Schmitt just scored a huge six-figure payday in the big Bassmaster Elite Series event on legendary Lake Champlain. He was in it from day one through the third day and then lost his mojo. He scored the big smallie that put him in first place with less than a half-hour to go in the tournament. What a thrilling finish. Listen to Bryan Schmitt tell you all about it.
The biggest fishing event of the year is the huge ICAST convention in Orlando, Florida held from July 20 through 23. It is the world’s largest sportfishing trade show. All the latest and greatest equipment will be on display and all the biggest names in fishing will be in attendance. Both Dan Johnston from St. Croix and Ken Duke from Fishing Tackle Retailer Magazine are with us to give an ICAST preview.

He is “On Em!” Pour yourself a nice Tin Cup whiskey and listen to a great interview with a true “good ole boy, Matt Robertson. The Kentuckian is a real “everyman” who uses $79 Ugly Stick rods rather than $500-plus sticks. Matt is an awful lot like the average fisherman and he’d love to offer some tips to make you a great fisherman, just like he is. Robertson is an extremely likable guy who had an outstanding performance in the recent Bassmaster Classic. Listen to a great interview that shows why Matt Robertson is one of the most popular anglers in pro bass fishing today.
Do you call it a flogger? Do you call it a bathyscope? Whatever you choose, this piece of equipment has caused a firestorm of discussion over its use. Elite pro Chad Pipkens joins us to talk about a method that he was one of the first to use in tournament competition.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about fishing safety, a very important subject.

Three letters say it all – KVD. The best bass fisherman on the planet has found his game and is back on top, winning a huge Major League Fishing event on the Tennessee River System. Did he dig deeper because Steve “poked the bear?” Probably not. KVD doesn’t need anyone’s help. He’s the best that ever was and is still on the top of the list. Listen to a great interview with the best ever.
Joe McElroy just finished second in the B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series Championship. What he did with the $5,000 check he was handed for his excellent performance is a story that blew our minds. Listen to a great fisherman and an even better human being tell his story.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to explain how weather affects fishing and what we can do to deal with it.

Some people complain about having to make a sixty-mile run to get to a hot fishing spot. Our lead guest traveled five-thousand miles to win a $100,000 check at last week’s Major League Fishing Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit event at the Potomac River. Straight from Firenze, Italy, please welcome Jacopo Gallelli. He may be a rookie on the MLF Pro Circuit, but the charming Italian has already competed in a Bassmaster Classic. Please listen to Jacopo do a great interview with us.
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to explain what “power” and “action” mean when it comes to choosing a fishing rod.
Laurie Tisdale from B.A.S.S. joins us to explain their new “Go Out{side}” initiative.
