Dakota Ebare is one incredibly hot stick! He started 2023 by winning the first two major events that he entered. Last week, Ebare performed very well in the Major League Fishing Redcrest Championship by finishing 13th out of 40 of the top anglers in the world. Ebare, a former rodeo bull rider who chose bass fishing over the cowboy lifestyle is charging forward and not looking back. Dakota Ebare joins us on his day off between Day 2 and the Knockout Round at the U.S. Air Force Stage Two tournament on the MLF Bass Pro Tour Circuit on Cherokee & Douglas Lakes in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Please listen to this intelligent young man talk about his amazing progression in tournament fishing from being a co-angler to hoisting up tournament trophies and cashing huge checks. 
Dan Johnston from St. Croix joins us to talk about search baits. They’re not just for bass, you know? Bass, walleyes, crappie and bluegills all fall victim to search baits. Listen to Dan Johnston explain how to use them.
