Ep. 148: Lake of the Ozarks Bass Fishing Guide: Big Ed Franko

Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down with Big Ed, owner of Big Ed's Guide Service and Bass & Baskets Inn on Lake of the Ozarks.About Big Ed's Guide Service:Many years, lost lures, big bass (small ones too) and true fish stories later, he settled down at Lake of the Ozarks, doing what he truly loves for a living - teaching others and helping others catch (and release) bass.Big Ed fishes out of a fully loaded 921 Phoenix bass boat and is licensed by the US Coast Guard. With him, bass fishing is catch-and-release only. He's working hard to make sure this lake is an exceptional fishery for years to come.About Bass & Baskets:They named their Inn Bass & Baskets – the “bass” came from a love for fishing and “baskets” from an affinity for collecting Longaberger Baskets®. They opened the doors to their recently revived cottage-turned-inn in 2001.Today, they are one of the most well-regarded inns in the business. While they’ve won several industry awards, their finest accomplishment is the smile or hug from a guest at their departure.For More Info:https://bigedsguideservice.com/https://www.facebook.com/BigEdsGuideServicehttps://www.bassandbaskets.com/Big Ed's#[email protected] Thanks To CZ-USA:https://cz-usa.com/Special Thanks To Living The Dream Properties:https://livingthedreamland.com/Special Thanks To Hunting Works For Missouri:https://huntingworksformo.com/Special Thanks To Mongo Attachments:https://www.mongoattachments.com/Special Thanks To Scenic Rivers Taxidermy:http://www.scenicriverstaxidermy.com/Connect with Driftwood Outdoors:https://www.facebook.com/DriftwoodOutdoors/https://www.instagram.com/driftwoodoutdoors/Email:[email protected]
