Adam Bartusek joins the JMO Podcast to chat about the upcoming season of the Crappie Chronicles and much more. He and his good friends Adam Griffith, Matt Waldron, and Ryan Pinkalla chase giant crappies each winter through the ice and capture it all on film for us to enjoy and learn from. These guys know a lot about what it takes to dial in big crappies and that's why I like to kick off my ice fishing episodes each November with Adam.
