Steve says that our main guest is the best multi-species fisherman in the country. Go ahead and argue with him, he dares you! Spence Petros is a Hall of Fame angler, along with being a successful educator, radio and television guest and magazine editor. He’s done it all in the world of fishing, but most important is that he has caught an awful lot of trophy fish. His classes have been attended by Jim “Musky Hunter” Saric, John Campbell, Ted Takasaki and Mark Zona, among others. Those guys will tell you how good Spence is. Give him a listen.

Look up the phrase “class act.” It’s likely you won’t find a definition but instead, you’ll find a picture of pro bass fisherman Clark Wendlandt. Clark just nailed down his fourth Angler of the Year title. He won three in FLW and now has one on the Bassmaster Elite circuit. The man is a great fisherman and is a totally wonderful human being. He does a great interview, too.

Cue the music! “Ice, Ice, Baby!” by Vanilla Ice would be the perfect intro music for our guest, Brian “Bro” Brosdahl. Bro is as good as it gets when it comes to hauling in fish through the frozen water. If you are in ice country, you’ll appreciate Bro’s tips. If you are from a warm weather climate, listening to Bro will make you want to travel north to give this tremendous sort a try. Bro is a great guy who lives to ice fish!

They call our main guest, Miles Burghoff, “Sonar.” Is that because he is so good with his electronics or because his father is Gary Burghoff who played “Radar” O’Reilly in both the “M*A*S*H” movie and television show. We’ll ask Sonar about that as well as get into good discussions on lithium ion batteries and the not technique know as Ned rigging! This one is a lot of fun.
