  • Best fishing show out there!!!

    Does a great job getting a ton of interesting gas on the show covering different bodies of water that you’ve never heard of !! I live in north of Houston, Texas but this show makes me want to move to the DMV area to try all those smallmouth rivers!! This is also one of the few shows that will routinely have fish biologist on and interesting conversation!

Q: How do you prepare for a three- to four-day event differently from a one-day event?
