Episodes

  1. Ep. 344: WHAT DID THAT FISH JUST TELL YOU?

    Every bite tells you something. So does every follow, short strike, miss, and fish that refuses to commit. The question is whether you're actually listening. This week on Jigs & Bigs, Bobby and Joe break down how to turn those interactions into useful information instead of immediately reaching…

  2. Ep. 343: Is Uncertainty Part of Fishing? | The FFS Debate

    Was uncertainty ever a problem in fishing that really needed to be solved? That question sits at the center of Episode 343. After Cole McCausland’s comments about forward-facing sonar lit up the bass fishing world, Bobby takes the conversation to the Producer’s Desk to look at the argument from a...

  3. Ep. 342: Ken Duke on “Growing the Sport,” Media, & the Future of Fishing

    This week’s episode is a full-on marathon — and it’s worth every minute. We kick things off in classic Jigs & Bigs fashion before diving headfirst into a long-form conversation with Ken Duke that goes way beyond the usual fishing talk. We get into the phrase everybody throws around — “grow the...

  4. Ep. 341: STOP Chasing Shad! Fall Bass Fishing Without Shad | Guest Co-Host Kai the Fish Guy!

    Every fall, bass anglers hear the same advice: FIND THE SHAD. FOLLOW THE BAIT. Great advice... What if your lake doesn't have shad? That's exactly where we're going in Episode 341. Kai Ludden, aka Kai the Fish Guy, returns to Jigs & Bigs as our guest co-host, and this time we're digging into fall...

  5. Ep. 340: Stop Borrowing Confidence!

    How much of the way you fish comes from what YOU have actually learned… and how much came from somebody telling you what should work? Fishing reports. YouTube. Tournament results. Facebook groups. Dock talk. Your buddies. Pros. Influencers. We consume an insane amount of fishing information, and...

  6. Ep. 339: You CANNOT make more Saturdays!

    You can always make more money. But you can’t make more Saturdays. Fishing time is limited — and sometimes the difference between a frustrating day and an incredible one is recognizing a 20-minute window before it disappears. This week on Jigs & Bigs, Bobby, Joe and Mike dig into how anglers can...

  7. Ep. 338: Fish the Clues, Not the Calendar | Fall Transition Tips!

    The calendar says fall. The fish may disagree. This week on Jigs & Bigs, Bobby digs into the fall transition and why anglers get into trouble when they start fishing the date instead of the conditions in front of them. On Just the Tip, we break down how to recognize the real signs of a seasonal...

  8. Ep. 337: “YOU CAN’T FISH HERE!” Know Your Water, Know Your Rights!

    “HEY! YOU CAN’T FISH HERE!” Okay… but can you? Episode 337 of Jigs & Bigs dives into one of those situations almost every angler will eventually encounter: you’re fishing water you believe you have every legal right to be on, and a property or dock owner tells you otherwise. This week’s Just the...

  9. Ep. 336: No Boat? No Problem! Bank Fishing Done Right..

    No boat? No problem. Seriously. This week, Jigs & Bigs is taking it to the bank. Episode 336 is all about getting more out of the water you can actually reach—and proving that fishing from shore doesn’t make you a second-class angler. In fact, sometimes the guy standing on the bank has the angle...

  10. Ep. 335: I Had a GREEK GOD Hookset… Then Hoodlumfest Got Weird!

    Hoodlumfest happened… and apparently Bobby is now a BIG BASS CHAMPION. 🏆🎣 Yes, there’s a giant chain involved. Yes, there’s a glittery fish hanging from it. And yes, the winning fish came courtesy of what may have been the most unnecessarily violent GREEK GOD HOOKSET ever delivered to a...

  11. Ep,334: Your Expensive Fishing Gear Won’t Fix This & Kai The Fish Guy!

    This week’s Just the Tip challenges anglers to stop forcing the original plan and start asking a better question: “What do I need to change?” The guys also share their latest time on the water, preview the Swimbait Makers Farmers Market, and discuss the upcoming Jigs & Bigs BCRF charity…
