Tom Rowland sits down with Roland Martin to discuss his successful fishing career and his story of where he came from. 

Roland talks about his history of losing his parents at a young age and how he recuperated from the tragedy. 

Roland Martin is a name synonymous with Bass Fishing, and he does not disappoint. I got to know Roland on a trip that I was doing at Bass Pro Shops. I found myself traveling with him for 3 days. 

From the moment I started this podcast I made a list of the most colorful people I know to be featured on the podcast, and Roland Martin was right at the top of that list. 

He made time out of his schedule to drive two hours to come see me and do this podcast, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

"Playing God isn't easy..." Definitely one of the best quotes to come out of this podcast interview with Capt. Patric Garmeson where he discusses everything that is going on with the inshore fishing hatcheries (for flounder, pompano, redfish, and speckled trout) in the Gulf. Enjoy and spread the word!

This week we talk with my good friend Dan, about the Great Waterfowl Migration.

• We would like you to meet Captain Cassy Geurkink, a charter Captain in Lake of the Woods MN. Cassy's passion for fishing started as a small child. Her parents were tournament anglers and her and her sister grew up in the boat. She grew up fishing on Mille Lacs Lake and fished when ever she could. 

  After her father moved to the Lake of the Woods area, Cassy came to visit and fell in love with the area. The vast waters of Lake of the Woods is a special place and she wanted to be on the water as much as she could.  She went to work in the office at Border View Lodge and shortly after asked to be able to work as a Captain. She went to school to get her Captains license and has worked as a Charter Captain for the last 5 years. Cassy is the only female Captain working on Lake of the Woods, and even though some customers are initially hesitant, they soon find out that Cassy can put them on fish and create a wonderful experience on the water. Listen in as we talk to  Cassy and hear her story. She may even give us some secret fishing tips.

  If you find yourself in the Lake of the Woods area, call 1-800-PRO-FISH and request to book a trip with Cassy!

Capt. Bouncer Smith is a South Florida Legendary Captain who has worked from 5 am to midnight almost every day since he was a kid. His work ethic is impressive but so is his resume. With many world records and tournament wins on his resume he is also the recipient of the IGFA “Legendary Captains and Crews” award. His list of accomplishments can be seem here, but other highlights include Billfish Foundation - John Rybovich Lifetime Achievement Award – 2015, and the Henry H. Hyman award for commendable public service in recognizing, preserving and developing the economic importance of sportfishing opportunities in South Florida. Conservation and preservation are important to Bouncer and he has won many tagging and conservation awards.

The legend of Bouncer Smith emanates from South Florida but travels the entire world. To top any of his fishing achievements is his personality. A master story teller, Bouncer is captivating and interesting. It is no wonder why he has maintained a clientele who love and revere him.

Tom Rowland sat down with Bouncer at his condo in Miami and had an incredible conversation. I hope you enjoy this podcast with a true legend.

Captain Benny Blanco was in the podcast last week and returns to share how you can be involved in the fight for the Everglades. He gave four steps on what you can do and they are:

On episode 25 of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast, Angie Scott sits down with the Adventuress herself, Jennifer Pudenz. Jennifer founded Adventuress Magazine in 2014, with the 1st issue being published in the spring of 2015. She has an incredible story and a true passion for showcasing real women in the fishing, hunting and the outdoors world who might not otherwise have the opportunity to be featured in an outdoors publication.

All of the articles featured in Adventuress are written by women with the intention to inspire other women to get out there and try new things. Rather than showcasing stories, it's more of a how-to so that women can improve their skills in anything outdoors related, including do-it-yourself projects. 

Thus, Jennifer was a perfect fit to be a guest on The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast! Get ready to hunt, fish, explore and live with The Adventuress!
