This was a day I'll never forget. Easton and I took the Bassmaster Classic Trophy fishing for the first time on Lake Mille Lacs, then headed over to George Liddle's cabin to record the podcast. I always learn so much from this guy, and experiencing his skill first hand in the boat that day, brought a whole new perspective to this episode and Easton as an angler. Enjoy as we talk everything bass fishing, and dive deep into the mind of one of the best fisherman in the world. Minnesota has put out some amazing fisherman, but has never brought a World Championship home...until this year.

In this episode, we got to sit down with the hammer himself, Nick Dumke. This is a dude who’s proven himself everywhere in the country. From high school in MN, to college in AL, to full on adult tournament mobster, Nick has proven himself as a mainstay in the Bass Galaxy. This was a great convo talking about so many things, and got deep and intergalactic on jerkbait fishing. Thanks for the time Nick, always great catching up.Brought to you by Thorne BrosCheck out their website and variety of premium fishing equipment @ thornebros.comAlso Brought to you by Vocelka Fishing & CustomsYou can find them on his website or at Waypoint Angler SupplyVisit vocelkafishing.com and use the code: T3ALBIRD15 at checkout to save 15% on your next purchase!#tealsbassgalaxy #fishingpodcast

For this episode, we have my brotha from another motha, fellow basstronaut, owner of Vocelka Fishing & Customs, The Harbor Tattoo Studio, AND now the proud owner of the Classic Bass Champions Tour...Mr. Dane Vocelka...Mono-E-Mono. I'm very grateful for this dude, and proud, as he's doing big things! Cheers, enjoy, and don't forget to check out his rod selection.

This was an extra special time with the legendary Japanese bass hammer, Kenta Kimura, and Bassmaster Opens Pro, Brad Leuthner. As a fisherman and tackle junkie, I’ve always wanted to pick Kenta’s brain. He’s been a major influence in the industry, designing tackle, and being a bridge for many techniques we now know today. It’s really cool when you get 3 fishing/tackle crackheads in a room together and mix cultures and perspectives. Brad Leuthner is a master chef in the kitchen when it comes to tackle, especially hair jigs. Not only that, he lines this whole podcast up (knowing I’m a huge Kenta & JDM fan!) Thank you Brad & thank you Kenta! Enjoy as we talk everything bass fishing, including JDM vs. US fishing culture, JDM techniques like the Hideup Coike Field Side Dice and more...hair jigs, crawfish, steak, and eating horse. This one was extra juicy. Enjoy!Get your Kenta approved JDM tackle today at Thorne BrosLooking to up your game in a certain area?

Bassmaster Opens Pro, BM Classic Runner Up, and world class fishing guide, Adam Rasmussen, joined us for a bassin' chat. I invited Thorne Bros own, Luke Ronnestrand, to co-host as he’s not only a world class Musky guide, but also a Sturgeon Bay hammer who ties some deadly marabou jigs. It’s always cool when you can get basstronaut minds like this in one room and we had a great time! Lots of nuggets in this one.

It was great sitting down and chatting with the absolute hammer known as Emil Wagner. GA native, and guide on Lanier, Emil has not only proven he’s one of the best to put his boat in any herring fishery, but any body of water for that matter. He recently dominated his way through the Bassmaster Opens gauntlet, and is now a Bassmaster Elite Series Pro.

Good friends: Hayden Anderson, Johnston Westmoreland, Damien Luchterhand, & Harrison Nelson made the trek down for an epic boys weekend. These guys can flat out catch em, and proved it last season against the best in MN. Johnston & Harrison didn't miss all year and clinched TOY, beating out 70 other teams. Hayden & Damien sealed the deal with a big win on Gull Lake. Always great catching up with these dudes.

We are joined by friend and lethal basstronaut Kyle Schutta for this episode. If you live in MN, you probably know about this dude, some of his accomplishments, and his dominance on the Classic Bass Champions Tour. In 2024, he not only won AOY, but also won the championship and a brand new Skeeter boat. A unique twist for our show as this is the first episode we’ve recorded in an ice house on the water up at Mille Lacs. Always good catching up with this dude. Congrats on a great year Kyle Schutta!

We’ve got the legend himself, Bassmaster Elite Pro Seth Feider, back for another episode. Always good catching up with one of the realest dudes to play the game. Enjoy, as we talk everything bass fishing, new tackle ventures, the new Vexus VXS20 he’s running, and more.Brought you by Thorne BrosBrought to you by Vocelka Fishing & Customs

Been meaning to record one with Bassmaster Elite Series Pro, Austin Felix, for a while. We finally made it happen and let’s just say he does not disappoint. This is a dude who’s proven himself as one of the best in the country at catching bass, but most people don’t know the man behind the hooksets. Enjoy the raw, real nature of this conversation with a mad scientist as we have a few glasses of whiskey, and blastoff to the depths of tournament bass fishing, tools of the trade, and quiet spells unknown to the Muggle world. For Griffindor. Thank you.

To kick off Season 4, we are joined by Elite Series Pro Bob Downey & Nate Nipper. These are two humble but deadly dudes that let their rods do the talking. One is on the Elite Series, and the other is a local/regional hammer who is also head of R&D for All-Terrain Tackle. Some of my favorite basstronauts in the Galaxy to drink some Old Fashions with, and catch up on all things bass fishing.

I travelled down to meet with the dangerous bass mob of MN's southern region. These 3 guys bring a unique perspective due to difference in age and fishing style. Big-Fish Timmy Schroeder, the Waseca mob boss, brings a lifetime of tournament experience & success in every ring he's thrown his hat into, and wields immense power from spinnerbait to spinning pole. Along with the mob boss, who's far from an "old bull", we were also graced with the presence of the young calf, Walker Krampitz, coming off another "Gilmore Check" season. (Sky)Walker has shown the galaxy that he's a deadly assassin poised for greatness, securing yet another Champions Tour Victory (2 seasons, 6 regular season events, & 2 Big wins). Yet the episode wouldn't be complete without the mobs deadliest hitman, and heir to the swamp throne, Noah Schultz, who's proven he's the most dangerous angler North of the Mason-Dixon. It's not everyday you get 3 members of the mob on one show, but agreements were met and we had us a "T.I.M.E." as mob boss Timmy Shroeder would say. Huge shoutout and thank you to Noah & Jenna Schultz for the hospitality. Great people, great conversations, and great stories...Cheers & Enjoy. Brought to you by Waypoint Angler Supply.

Every year, myself and close buddies from college take a trip called "Battle of the Hogs" up to Jutty's cabin. It's one of few traditions that's we've kept going now almost a decade. This is a trip I always look forward to. Seeing the boys, sharing stories, engaging in semi-harmless shenanigans, and reliving our younger days is exactly what I look forward to...oh, and the fishing is a glorious bonus everytime. Here's a peak into this brotherly tradition of slight savagery and controlled debauchery. Thank you and cheers to another with these legendary gents: Mr. Dane Vocelka (Buy his rods), JP (Single), Pineur (Taken), & Beck (BECK!). Thank you Jutt for having us another year. Cheers. Enjoy.

For this episode, we are joined once again by good friend and currently the most dangerous angler in the galaxy, Easton Fothergill, AKA Gill-Daddy. Easton just finished his first season on the Bassmaster Opens and not only succeeded, but shattered records, winning two events, winning AOY & Elite Birth, PLUS over $200K in winnings. There's lots of in-depth fishing juice dropped in this episode, as Easton didn't hold back. Congrats Gill-Daddy, and thanks for making the trip. Brought to you by Waypoint Angler Supply.

For this episode, we head to Dean Capra’s crib for a quality bass discussion. If you don’t know who Dean is, he’s a MN fishing legend, and has been winning bass tournaments since the 80’s. Had a great time talking everything from tournament history, tackles stores, and always great stories. Dean Capra is fresh off a great season, winning the Champions Tour on Gull Lake, and locking up Team Of The Year on Tonka with his partner Aaron Larson. Thanks for the time & congrats on a great year Deano. You still got it. Brought to you by Waypoint Angler Supply. The premier specialty tackle shop in the Upper Midwest.
