Z-Man President Daniel Nussbaum joins the Live to kick-off Z-Man takeover month. Big Turd and Yoga Pants jokes aside, Daniel may or may not have let something slide about a new, secret Z-Man bait in development. This week's Live is a can't miss.

In their last show of the year, things get weird when Chris and Raphie bond over a mutual love of yoga pants...but not in the way you think. Rick comes to realize that no one wants to take his calls, and Fix ends the year on a high note with absolutely no technical breakdowns. See you January 10 with a super special guest to kick off the Z-Man Takeover Month!

Every week, Rick and his co-hosts Mr. Wishiwazfishin and Raphie pull no punches when discussing the landscape of bass fishing, their favorite fishing techniques, life in general, and just about anything else that's on their mind. And with the phone lines open live and in real time, the listeners get in on the action as well. Reluctantly produced by Jared Fix

Rick and the boys kick off the holiday season sharing their Christmas wishlists and bass fishing essentials. Chris changes his mind about forward-facing sonar, Raphie gets passive aggressive with Shoemaker's power polls, and Rick longs for the good old days when Raphie was traveling and couldn't make the Live.

Rick and Chris finally get some alone time away from Raphie, and somehow this ends up being their best show ever. Weird. Rick gives a sneak peak at the new MONSTERBASS Early Winter Fishing kit, while Chris keeps the party going taking call after call after call. Definitely not our last live. Maybe.

Early winter fishing means its time to dust off your blade baits. Yeah, yeah, we know -- you don't think blade baits can be fished from the bank, so prepare to be surprised. Surprised like Chris when his wife called into the show. Surprised like Rick, who learned he needed to babysit his house painters. Surprised like Raphie who learned that his new lighting kit made him look like he overdosed on Botox. And surprised like MONSTERBASS Nation because this show was actually disaster free. Good work, Fix.

Mikey Balzz joins the cast on a Live! that felt doomed from the start.  The phone lines crapped out immediately sabotaging the new, Beat Chris and Win segment, but Rick, Mikey, Chris and Raphie took it all in stride. Mikey and Chris went deep down the rabbit hole of cold-water jigging, revealing many of their favorite tricks and hacks to smash big bass in the colder weather.

Legendary rod designer Will Stewart joins Rick and special guests the Aggressively Average Angler to break down the hype behind the new MONSTERBASS Ultralight rod. Raphie gets lost in the chat while Chris makes his escape to Disneyland with 74 of his closest family members.

The team dives deep into cold water jerkbait fishing techniques, but get temporarily derailed by Fishing the Lonestar who called in to make fun of Raphie and Chris' forward-facing haircuts. Rick gets stuck naming the new MONSTERBASS squarebill, Chris decks his halls early, and Raphie hates Santa in November.

With Rick away on vacation, Chris, Raphie and Fix break into the studio

Raphie's back from Texas, much to Chris' dismay. Let's be honest, the Lives are usually much better with him gone. Rick teases November as cold water fishing month at MONSTERBASS, so he and the boys decide to celebrate by heating things up with the Death Nut Challenge. 16 million Scoville Units to the face may not the best way to end a live...but it sure is effective.
