Tony's on vacation so we just do what ever we want like we have a substitute teacher. We visit w/ the Tin Horse Monty - Gabe Montgomery and let ya know we can be found at the Jour de Fete 2025 in Ste Genevieve, MO to debut the new Bluff City Bass Crusher lures.

We once again catch up w/ Josh Roth of River's Edge Reproductions. He tells us about the reproduction of a 110 pound blue catfish that he surprise presented to Bill Dance.

You can also catch Josh in a couple weeks in Ste. Gen @ Jour De Fete where he will be selling the new Bluff City glide baits - Bass Crusher Customs - all painted by him!

We keep the chat in house this week and discuss summer fishing and several news stories about record breaking Blue Cats!

No guest this week, so we just stream of conscious fishing babble for the whole show!

Mark drops knowledge about reciprocal fishing license privileges between MO & IL when fishing the Mississippi River. Producer Johnnie just got some polarized sunglasses and realized what he wasn't seeing, and Mike Marfell joins us by phone to chime in on all things fish related.

Marcus Sykora joins us to discuss the loss of Lake of the Ozarks fishing legend Bassing Bob and dish on his particular outlook on Bass fishing.

We discuss the lack of river access on the IL side and Alex Nagy from Twisted Cat Outdoors joins us to pump up the upcoming Alton Catfish Classic tournament.

Tales of pain and fishing...How far would you go to land that fish?
