It’s been a long time since Brian has been on the Schtick. Today we get to hear his stories from Cape Cod and British Columbia.

It’s been a while since we did a regular episode – the last couple have been video specials, so we wanted to show the love for our audio podcast amigos. Plus, all three of us have been on the road and had some crazy adventures. Unfortunately, Brian’s sick today and that’s too bad because he had some epic stuff go down in BC and before that, he was over on Cape Cod. You’ll have to settle for Mike and I but we promise not to disappoint.

Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor fished Alaska’s Naknek River, a tributary to Bristol Bay in this year’s 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. They were our fundraising leaders by such a wide margin that they out-raised last year’s entire 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. It’s a testimony to who they are, what their fishery is about, and how much passion people have for defeating Pebble Mine. They join us today from Alaska Sportsman’s Bear Trail Lodge .

Lake Conroe is famous as a big bass lake. Ron Higgins calls it a home water, and has seen fish over 13 pounds come aboard his boat. He also plies the waters of Lake Livingston and Lake Houston, and not just for bass. Stripers, Wipers, Catfish and Crappies are common quarry at Higgy’s Freshwater Adventures, and he’s got some good stories to tell on today’s Schtick.

If you have a computer hooked up to the internet, you’ve seen Robert Lawler’s photo sometime in the past month. He caught a massive sunfish – a redear that weighs over five pounds – and people who don’t even get that excited about fishing have been forwarding that photo all over. It’s made the rounds on every fishing forum, sites like Go Fish’n and of course lots and lots of love on Facebook. The best thing about it is that the guy who caught it is just a guy like you or me, just somebody who likes to fish. His name is Bob Lawler and he’s from Lake Havasu City, Arizona – we tracked him down and got him to join us for today’s Fish Schtick!

Good News – It’s Earth Day this week, a good reminder that We Are Stewards. New campaign out from Recycled Fish highlights that. Meanwhile US Fish & Wildlife Service launches its campaign, Climate of Conservation – 50 issues facing fish and wildlife in all 50 states as a result of climate change.

The iPhone picture quality continues to impress.

I love the Hipstamatic camera on my iPhone. I don’t think I would have ever taken the time to process a regular image to look like this.

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. We’re excited to welcome authors Kirk Werner, Mike DiLorenzo and Kristine Houghtman to today’s very special Fish Schtick.

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