Travis Lowe is a TV production guy from Canada. Got his start running a camera for his Dad’s Friday night music show on the local cable access channel.

When you hear about a “professional angler” you probably think about a pro bass guy. Maybe … maybe … a pro walleye guy. But a pro crappie guy? Yep. There are a few, and the man who piloted that is Wally Marshall. Back in the 1980’s Wally Marshall won a professional crappie tournament, started garnering sponsorship support, and became the face and name behind crappie fishing around the world.

We have a very special show featuring some of the authors who are using their craft to encourage kids to get outside and get fishing. Those of us who love the outdoors know how important it is to get kids outside, and studies have shown that nothing is more effective at doing that than fishing.

Skeet Reese is not only one of the hottest names in professional bass fishing, he’s got an amazing story.

The first time we heard that there was a website called “The Bassholes,” we thought, wow – jerks who fish – nice.

That’s not how it is at all. There may be no greater online fishing forum devoted to bass fishing when it comes to the sense of community, camaraderie, and quality of information.

At the 2011 Bassmaster Classic Teeg interviewed several guests including the guys from Vanishing Paradise.

There is no time to lose. Help reconnect the Mississippi River to the Louisiana Wetlands. National Wildlife Federation and Ducks Unlimited have launched a bold campaign to restore Louisiana’s waterfowl habitat by reconnecting the Mississippi River with the wetlands.

It’s been too long since we did a show so this is kind of a catch-up episode. The focus is the Bassmaster Classic where we saw Kevin Van Dam and Aaron Martens make history, but more than anything else, we haven’t gotten together for a couple of weeks so it’s time to get caught up.
