We thought that was pretty cool, and it turns out Tony is pretty interesting. Not only is he interesting, but he has a lot of great info to share, and he's willing to share it with kids that are interested in the sport. Tony is the real deal. by The Bass Report

Shan O'Gorman - Lake Lanier, Motherlode (Fish Science): This is the second time we've had Shan on the podcast and thanks to Ryan Cook it was better than the first. You might know him better as @aquatic_biologist on Instagram. Some of the things he says are hard to swallow, like lead weights. But, it's based on science, not opinion or feelings. We hope this is educational, and if it makes you uncomfortable, find a safe space. #dontcheat by The Bass Report

Hunter Baughman - Arkansas River, Truman Lake, Delta, Motherlode: "Absolutely beside myself." Quote from Hunter Baughman, a bass fisherman from Arkansas after winning a Toyota Series MLF event at Truman Lake. Most of us would be beside ourselves with a win that big. And his breakdown of the tournament during this podcast solidifies him as an accomplished angler. He has no legs, and part of one hand... but just a few minutes in to our conversation, it's clear that doesn't really matter. He's a hammer and has some great knowledge to share. Thanks, Hunter! by The Bass Report

Alex Klein - Oroville, Thermalito, Delta, Motherlode...: Wild West Bass Trail. They do tournaments at Clear Lake, Shasta, Melones, etc.... And the California Delta. The Delta is serious. Not sure why, really, but it is. Maybe because it has big fish. Maybe because it's incredibly difficult. Maybe because it's not your average bass fishery.... enter a fucking sea lion!!! It isn't normal, It isn't easy, the rest of the U.S. doesn't realize how difficult this fishery is. Alex Klein knew this coming in. And he found a place near him to practice. And then he put himself in a position to win against the best. If you like underdog stories, listen up. by The Bass Report

Gary Wasson - Millerton, Pine Flat, Kaweah, Success: Gary is the guy you want to go fishing with. He won't show up late, hungover or distracted. He's been a mid-Valley staple big fish catcher and tourney winner for years. Gary is a winner. Be like Gary. by The Bass Report

Luke Johns - WWBT, Folsom, Melones, Delta: The youngest WWBT AOY ever. If you don't understand the acronyms, no worries. Luke explains how he went from starting a high school bass club to out-foxing the best in the west. Storytelling is a thing we like very much, and Luke is good at it. Sit back and listen to a young dude tell a story of winning. You can do it, too. by The Bass Report

Andy Doudna is one of the most knowledgeable guys you'll meet when it comes to Delta wildlife issues. He's been fishing the Dirty D for years, but not always for the green ones. In just the last four years he's solidified himself as one of the dudes to look out for when it comes to River largemouth. We were blown away by the conversation! We hope you are too. by The Bass Report
