    Love your show Wendell lost of great info and fishy things, but I really wish you would work on your audio quality. The most recent episode there is a clicking in the background the entire time that honestly made me prematurely turn the episode off and write this review.

How to Dominate MAY Bass Fishing (with Drew Gregory)
Q: What is the biggest May bass fishing mistake you see anglers make right out of the gate?
Assuming the spawn is over and applying a single set of behaviors; May bass can be on bed, pre-spawn, or post-spawn depending on the water body, so anglers should keep an open mind, cast long, and adapt to the mood of the fish rather than assuming one pattern.
How to DOMINATE Spring Bass Fishing
Q: What defines a great spring angler, and what is the biggest myth?
Kylee says the best spring anglers adjust on the fly to shifting conditions, with spring being highly variable due to fronts, moon phases, and weather, debunking the idea that fixed patterns always work.
