Ted Takasaki joins Catherine and Greg to talk about all things fishing. Ted shares his knowledge of fishing natural lakes, rivers, and reservoirs and discusses how modern technology has the potential to help all anglers be more successful on the water. He talks of how his path to becoming a professional angler started as a child fishing from the shores of ponds with his father in central Illinois and led to becoming the president of Lindy Fishing Tackle for 10 years. We talk live bait and artificials and how he likes to troll with crankbaits and spinners. Along the way, Ted talks about setting goals, conservation, and his love for South Dakota reservoirs. He also shares with Catherine a few tips as to how she can increase her influence as a role model for women of all ages in outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing.
