A few weeks ago, we welcomed Erin Mathis to the Noobs show. Among the things we covered in that episode was the trail that she runs and she mentioned a young man, taking her trail by storm! Tonight, We welcome that young man, Wyatt Connelly and his father Rich to the Noobs show.

Wyatt had been fishing the junior trail for several years and dominating it. Wyatt made a deal with his dad, Rich, that if he would try the adult trail and if he finished in the top 10 in his first tournament, that his dad would continue to allow him to compete. He did just that, finishing in the top 10 in his first tournament. And he didn't stop there! In just his third tournament in the adult trail, in a field of 45 anglers, he took first place!

We get introduced to Wyatt and his father Rich. We learn how they both got started fishing and what led Wyatt to wanting to compete. We talk to Ryan about his favorite techniques, here a few stories of his catches, and also hear from him what he would tell other youth anglers about how to start fishing in tournaments and what helped improve his skills!

We also talk to Wyatt about his future plans and how far he hopes to go in the sport of kayak fishing.

So tune in to this episode of Bass Fishing for Noobs on the Paddle N Fin podcast and get introduced to one of the up and coming hammers in our sport!

It's always good to catch up with old members of the PaddleNFin family and today is no different. The Noobs show is happy to welcome PNF alumni Shane LemMon back to the podcast! Listeners may remember when Shane bought the Bass Thumbs podcast to Paddle N Fin for a time. He made the trip to Dale Hollow last year and we had a great time sharing the water and fun times with him and his wife.

We start by catching up with what Shane has been up to since then. He continues to do the Bass Thumbs podcast, shining the spotlight on the west coast kayak angling scene, which often gets overlooked by all the coverage we get on the east coast. He also is running a regional tournament trail and also competing in tournaments as well.

Shane then also talks about his new partnership with Yamamoto baits as well as a few other well known big name sponsors! We specifically talk about the new Yamamoto Yamatanuki 2.5 bait.

Having heard good things about this bait, and seeing Shane highlight it on his social media, he shows off the new bait and goes over the different ways it can be rigged and the many different applications it can be used for. Shane also goes over a few other new offerings from Yamamoto and a bit of juice on special rigging tips and options.

We finish out by highlighting a recent tournament he competed in that was captured by a videographer friend of his, and the big bass he caught on camera.

All in all, it was great catching up with Shane and learning about the yamatanuki as well!
