Hosted by Ryan Shea, a charter captain/fishing guide and Jordan DiVirgilio, a tackle designer/manufacturer and tournament angler - 2 points of view collide in numerous debates and discussions. It's a little insight into the angling community...and an effort to open lines of communication between tribes.
