A true hammer from the Ozarks, Brennan is a well-known swimbaiter with some serious fish under his belt. We spoke about how he got into swimbaits, along with his initial experiences of fishing a lake and region that was essentially untouched by glide baits, and what that meant for him at the beginning of his swimbait journey. We discussed all his personal bests (PBs) and the stories he had with them. He talked about what it's been like working for KGB over the last 4 months and even discussed their new GOAT trout bait.

In this episode, Kevin goes a mile deep into the story behind KGB. We hear how he got introduced to the world of swimbaits as a young teen in California. We touch on the fish that started it all for him, then the humble beginnings of how KGB got to be where it is today. Many hardships and revised plans are dis-cussed. We cover all that and more on this close to 3-hour "KGB tells all" episode.

Another episode with a guy from the Northeast? Who could have seen that one coming? Evan Giles of Massachusetts joins us, and we delve into all things NE swimbaiting, mostly covering the same topics as me and other NE guys, but we get to hear Evan's unique perspective. He even got into glide baits this past season, which opened up a whole other rabbit hole for discussion since it seems somewhat uncommon in the NE.

Join me and the two brothers, Brandon and Nick, behind BC Baits, as we talk about what their journey has been like. We'll discuss what it's like being two younger guys in the sport, how they split roles, and, of course, a recap of their baits and the success they have seen with them already.

110 episodes later, Charlie comes back on to talk about what he's been up to since episode 24. A whole lot of saltwater fishing and a good amount of bass fishing as well. We talk about swimbaits for saltwater, new DRT baits, and of course, the smallies and smelt we had discussed on his previous episode.
