  • Best Bass Fishing Podcast

    BTL is the best bass fishing podcast whether you enjoy tournaments or just fun fishing. There is always some thing educational and entertaining for everyone. My favorite nugget from Uncle Frank is that bass see chartreuse as bright white!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1451: CATCHING BASS ON GLASS CALM DAYS (DAY 4 #247 WITH FRANK SCALISH)
Q: What are the best approaches for grass lakes on slick days?
Start with early topwater lightly, then target outside grass edges with subtle plastics and rigs; punch mats in shallow grass; use a Ned rig and Flick Shake on deeper grass edges; deploy a slow, methodical search using live scope to locate irregularities; finish with crankbaits that provoke a reaction bite along the grass edge.
Episode 1449: ANOTHER ONE FOR BANKS, NPFL BATTLE, RIVER JUICE, AND FISHING CHAOS
Q: What makes Banks Shaw stand out this season beyond a single huge payout?
His year-to-date earnings, consistency across top events, and high finishes across multiple tournaments demonstrate a sustained level of performance rather than relying on a single big win.
Episode 1445: TAKAHIRO OMORI THROUGH THE YEARS (HE ALWAYS KNEW IT)
Q: What did it feel like to be inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame while still actively competing?
Omori describes it as a surprising and somewhat unreal moment, recognizing the honor and the pressure to speak publicly, yet he remains focused on continuing to compete and perform rather than resting on past achievements.
Episode 1441: CRAFTING CONFIDENCE: CLIFF PACE
Q: How did the lead to Boss Outdoors transition occur?
The lead-based business and relationships with suppliers evolved into a formal collaboration with Charles Himes, Gary Klein, and Pace to form Boss Outdoors after Pace broke his leg in 2014.
Episode 1441: CRAFTING CONFIDENCE: CLIFF PACE
Q: What sparked the move from balsa to soft plastics?
A long-standing interest in making plastics, plus the opportunity to partner with Kirby Design and Manufacturing to produce production models, which allowed diversification and control over product development.
