  • The eric show

    Take the voice of Riz, the volume of Iaconelli, the brains of Pete Gluscek, and the manners of an interrupting cow and there you have the cohost that is epic Eric. Too bad he has to interrupt some of the best smallmouth fisherman in the world answering the most important questions about catching smallmouth.
