  • Love the show!

    This is a fun show to listen to while I’m working or at home.

    One thing I’d love to hear more is content geared toward warm water fishing. Bass, panfish, striper, gar, and more. I love far off destinations, but there’s also an immense amount of fishing destinations closer to me to be more relatable.

    Keep it up!
