Had a blast talking with the mystical beast they call Luke Ronnestrand. As many already know in the Midwest and Musky community, Luke is an OG Thorne Bros hammer, smallmouth guru, world class Muskie guide, and a master at tying jigs with a vice. Not only that, he’s a high character basstronaut, and brings a badass perspective to the sport. Enjoy as we talk bass fishing, musky fishing, new perspectives, and Luke shows us how to tie a Marabou jig the right way.

Good friend and fellow basstronaut, Nate Nipper, stopped by for an intergalactic bassin' convo. Nipper just came off a banner rookie season on the Champions Tour…which came as no surprise to me. Enjoy!

We traveled down to the southern MN for this episode with “Big Time” Noah Schultz. Always great catching up with this guy, who’s proven to be one of the most lethal anglers in the North. Enjoy as we dive deep into various fishing topics like big swimbaits, fishing tournament strategies, and more. We also have a special announcement for a Noah Schultz signature series lure coming from Japan.

For this episode, we are joined by Evan Blakley, 2025 Champions Tour Angler of The Year. We went out bassin' to start the day, had us a time, and then recorded. It was great getting to know this dude, who's taken the tournament trail in the upper midwest by storm. If you haven't heard of Mr. Evan Blakley...well, I would start getting used to the name. Year in and year out he is one of the most dominate and consistent anglers on the Champions Tour roster. Congrats to Mr. Blakley on his epic season. Enjoy!

Elite Series pro, Bob Downey, drove down for an epic day of bass fishing then podcast. It was great to get out fishing with this dude and watch him work. Lots of great subjects discussed in this episode, along with unique perspectives. From swim jigs and Crush City, to the new Elite Series rules for 2026 and the origin of condoms. This was a fun one, enjoy!

I've been fortunate to get to know Nellie on a personal level the past few years. John Nelson (also known as "Nellie"), is Thorne Bro's longest standing legend, and has experienced so much of the fishing world. It's impossible to summarize Nellie's accomplishments in a short summary. Nellie's fishing career is a more diverse story than most. He started his fishing career as a force to be reckoned with on the Professional Walleye scene for many years, which eventually transitioned to bass fishing. Nellie won Rookie of the Year his first year fishing the Classic Bass Champions Tour, and is seen as a voice of experience and wisdom. On the fishing industry side, Nellie has seen the evolution of fishing equipment up close, and has played a major role in bringing in some of the most popular baits we know today. I look up to this dude, and am proud to share our sports history. Thank you Nellie!

John Cox traveled up to Minnesota, and I was lucky enough to have him over to the Bass Galaxy "Lair" for one of the most real, intergalactic bassin' convos of all time. From gator hunting and Vexus Boats, to next level instinctual bass fishing, this one was extra special. Thank you John Cox for taking the time, it means the world.

For this episode, Ron Mehr stopped out to the studio for an intergalactic bassin' conversation. Ron is a friend, mentor, and also the host of Outdoors Amehrica, an outdoors YouTube channel. I've always looked up to Ron, as he has so many years of experience tournament fishing, and has seen success at all levels. Enjoy!
