  • Super fishy! I love this podcast

    It’s not just super fishy, with awesome stories about different places and ways to fish, but it’s also packed with heart. I really enjoy listening to two great hosts who open up about their time on the water and how they’re leading their families.

    The faith and parenthood angle resonates a ton. As a dad of three, I want my kids to thrive. I want them to love the outdoors. But more than anything, I want to show up as my best self for them.

    Thanks, guys, for the content and your unique perspecti... more
