The Whole Angler

This was the episode I intended to put out last week! Enjoy!

This is an episode of my buddy Chris Waters from season 2. Life's been a little hectic lately, but I didn't wanna leave y'all with nothin. So, I'm throwin in one of my fav re-listens.

Thank you for listening!

to say that this episode was an absolute honor, doesnt even cover it. This week I got to sit down with Ken Duke. Yes, the bass fishing historian himself. This was an incredible episode. We covered such a range of topics, you're gonna have to listen for yourself. Don't forget the question round!

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to a man who is an incredible bait builder, a fully present father and husband, and a great person to get to know. Flynt Pierce of Battle Baits. this episode we sit down and talk to Flynt about HIS life, business, family, struggles, and success. Not financial success, the kind that matters.

I was super excited for this episode! I got to sit down with my buddy Alex Castonguay (Bluey's Dad). If you don't know Alex, go listen to the Bass and Brews Podcast. This was a totally different take on Alex and an amazing conversation and experience. Enjoy!

Language Warning! This was a fun episode. We got to sit down with my buddy Jake Harshman. We talked a LOT of fishing, where hes been, and what he's doin now. Def NOT a for kids episode!

Life in the Bonus Round! Wild Bill joins us this week to talk about what life is like now, being authentic, living in the moment, and the adventure ittook to get there. This is a Must Listen!

ACTUAL Fishing Talk!!! and lots of swearing..Dark Horse Tackle SHOWED UP at the Kayak Adventure Series 1st stop TallaBassee! So we pulled on Zech and Ryan on to discuss the multiple awards they got.

How do you handle adversity? How do you turn that into success? How do you balance work/home life? Jeff Burlingame will def break it down for you with his experiences in this episode. Also, BONUS! Health advice from the man with a degree in it! dont sleep on this one.

WE ARE BACK WITH A BANGER! If you haven't heard the name Luis Delgado, you're either living under a rock, or, living in Alaska. This is one of those episodes that just HAD to happen. And let me tell you, you want hear an American dream come to fruition, and a life lead by God. This is it!

This show marks 1 Year! Who better to celebrate it with than non other than Fred Roumbanis!? This week I got to sit down with Fred and discuss his journey from a kid fishin ponds, into the biggest tournaments in bass fishing. We got to talk about the importance of family bonds, and late night sweets. Hope yall enjoy this episode!

This week I got to sit down with my homie Matt Sowders. Name sound familiar? It should, hes a legend and a scholar.. Also hes the reason there's this show! We sat and talked bout his life as a hellion, soldier, angler, podcast host, and where his is now with it all. Dont sleep on this one, Matt's the damn TRUTH!

Im so excited for this episode! Im so grateful to have on one of the leading minds in behavioral science.The author of books like "Believing in Magic" and "The Uses of Delusion" Dr. Stuart Vyse. Dr Vyse is THE man when it comes to research on superstition, and was kind enough to indulge me. We shake down. and break down superstions. Are they real, or all in your head? I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

This week was a real treat foe me, I got to sit down with Paul Glass and talk more than just tech talk and dad jokes. Paul is a SAVAGE! He does more in a day than most of us do in a week! I truly enjoyed getting to know him more, and I KNOW you will too! This is one of those, "you think you know, but you have NO idea!" episodes. Enjoy.

This week I had the pleasure of sittin down the John King. Most of you know him as Drunkwood. However, bet you DIDNT know all that we talk about here! John is an absolute solid human being, and im grateful he was vulnerable enough to share that with us.

This week I got to sit down with some great dudes! Bailey, Armando, and Jon King. This was really fun for me. We sat down and started a the topic of "superstition in fishing". I find it so interesting that this idea silently has a chokehold on so many people! It effects how some of us live our lives! This was a light hearted sample of something I am going to dive deeper on in the future. Enjoy the "gentlemens chat"!

Hold on to your hats, please do not eat or drink while listening to this one! (Unless you feel like spitting it out due to laughter.)This week I got to sit down with Obedie Williams, and man, I haven't laughed this hard in a while! this was such an amazing episode! We talked Young Obedie life, boats, motorcycles, blessings on blessings, and the most stand out part of his character; his unrelenting positivity! We all need to take a page out of Obedies book. just listen and you'll understand.

This week I got to sit down with my buddy Brad Hicks. Yes, THE brad hicks yall know and love from The Catch Podcast. We talk about growin up, fishin, podcasting, life and burnout. Of course, without fail, Brad left us laughing. Your gonna love this.

This week I got to sit down with Oliver Ngy. I've gotten the blessed oportunity to talk with Oliver a couple times now, but this one takes the cake! His approch to life and fishing is so refreshing and different. I had a blast listening to him, and I hope you do too!

Well, we're BACK! This weeks episode is very dear to my heart. I got to sit down with Christopher Waters. From beggining to end this episode is LOADED with what hits home. Mens Mental Health. Chris' perspective on life is SO refreshing. MUST LISTEN!
