Back at it with another episode of the Think Outside Podcast, presented by Baits.com!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth or the Bassmobile at the Bassmaster Classic — and to those who grabbed some apparel! The event was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

This week’s episode is a special one. We sit down with the Shoeless Hog Flapper himself — Tyler Williams — fresh off his impressive 14th place finish at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic. Tyler brings a unique energy and raw authenticity to the sport, and this episode captures it all.

We talk about how he's found success by sticking to just one bait and fishing his strengths all over the country. Tyler shares his approach to keeping it simple, staying true to himself, and trusting his instincts — even under pressure.

We also get into:

• The story behind the "Shoeless Hog Flapper" nickname

• Fishing barefoot on some of the biggest stages in bass fishing

• What it’s like competing in the Classic atmosphere

• How sticking to his roots helped him rise through the ranks

This is hands down one of our most fun, laid-back, and insightful episodes yet — packed with laughs, takeaways, and a behind-the-scenes look at life as a rising pro angler.
