On this episode of Fishing Friday Live, Ben and Pete hold it down while Trey’s off in the Great White North chasing smallmouth. The guys break down this year’s ICAST – what stood out, what flopped, and why innovation in the fishing world feels stale.
They also tackle the drama surrounding Logan Latusso’s DQ from the Bassmaster Elite Series—fair or flawed? And for the first time on the show, they have their most honest, in-depth discussion yet about forward-facing sonar—how it’s changed fishing, and why their opinions are shifting.
From flooded lakes and trolling motor debates to heartbreaking local boating tragedies, this episode is packed with real talk, gear insights, and what’s really happening on and off the water.
