Antlers & Hicks

This past weekend Jarred Fitch and Curtis Goodling beat the brakes off everyone one at the ARKLA Team Rumble on The River held on the Ouachita River in Monroe, La. I got one of them to talk to me tonight (I'll get you on here one day Curtis). Jarred Fitch is a great fisherman, dad, husband, and friend and tonight we hear some of his background coming up, his history fishing, and how he prepped to win the ARKLA event in Monroe. Trust me, it's not how you expect! Also, give us a like and comment on iTunes and Spotify.....these go A LONG WAY for podcast distribution.

The ARKLA Anglers of the Year standing are tight and tonight we got with the leaders, John Burroughs & Derek Davis. We talked about the trail, the stress of being at the top of the standings, and even a little bow hunting. Hope you guys enjoy and give us a rating on iTunes and Spotify.

David Hanson's personality is as big as his truck and airboat combined. He's a great guy who does all he can to help folks in need and right now, the people living on Bayou Desiard in Monroe, La are asking for his help. A nusense alligator has been spotted and it's not a baby! I've known him almost a year now and I knew two things; he'd make a heck of an interview and he's going to get his target gator. In this episode we talk about everything under the sun and we laughed more than anything. Great guy and a great member of the community. Hope you guys enjoy and be sure to give us a rating on iTunes and Spotify.

If you hunt deer in Louisiana, you've probably heard of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The state had it's first confirmed case in early 2022 and since then we've added 11 more cases. Tonight, Johnathan Bordleon drove all the way to my house.....in the poor folks side of Sterlington, La (Ouachita City, Union Parish La. to be exact) to talk about CWD. This is an informative podcast that every deer hunter will need to hear. Hope you guys enjoy it and please give us a rating on iTunes and Spotify.

Everyone has struggled to close a chapter in life. This one is to encourage those who are struggling to close one chapter and prepare for the next one.

If you've never experienced catching fish in a hoop net, do yourself a favor and find someone to take you. In Louisiana, fishing from nets or traps is a heritage that kept a lot of families fed back in the day....even today. I got with a guy tonight who is carrying that heritage on into our generation and is capturing that life on camera and sharing it on his YouTube channel "God's Country Hunting & Fishing". I hope you guys enjoy Bradley Smith.

President Theordore Roosevelt once said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far". I can't help but think of that statement when I think about Allen Anders. He doesn't speak much, he's not flashy, but when he goes fishing, he's a big stick. He and his dad Richard fish the local bass tournaments in North Louisiana and do quite well. They even beat Ben Millican at Caney in January. Millican just won the Bassmasters Open on Toledo Bend, so to me, that's a big deal. Allen came on this week to talk about his year and share some insight on how you can do better yourself. Hope you guys enjoy!

"Everything that happens in your life, has been waiting to happen since the beginning of time" and if that's the case, life timed this one perfectly. I met GK and the rest of the "Bow Bro's" on the Sitka Course at the Total Archery Challenge event in Broken Bow Oklahoma this past Saturday and we all hit it off right off jump street. Tonight, GK and I broke down the shoot, the gear, and how life just is sometimes. Hope you guys enjoy.

Baby faces but killer instincts.  When I first saw these two, I overlooked their abilities because of their age.  Needless to say, I was wrong, and crow doesn't taste very good.  Hagen and Gage fish with the West Ouachita Fishing Team in in the High School Fishing world and are tops in their class.  They've also been competing against some of the best bass anglers in North Louisiana in some of the biggest tournaments around and are definitely holding their own.  This is a good one y'all.
