wealth of knowlege

I enjoy listening to this show so much and the banter and energy back and forth. However, you caught my attention with your article about deer blood and lyme disease. I am a medical technologist and we send out testing for lyme disease all the time. Never have I heard of of this information. I even asked my co-workers if they had heard of it and neither have they. To learn about new, sourced, information about diseases that even I haven't heard about in my field is astounding. I enjoy learning so much about the outdoors from your show.

The Best Fishing Podcast!

This is my favorite fishing podcast that I look forward to listening to each time there’s a new episode. I love the wealth of fishing knowledge and experience shared on this podcast.

JDRemington!

Love this Podcast!

I grew up in Ontario to 16, moved around over the years to British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Jersey, Washington State, and now recently moved back to Ontario (Ottawa area) and couldn’t be more stoked to be back home! My awesome fishing partner (my wife) and I are learning the area and can’t wait to get out and wet some lines! We love listening to the Podcast and appreciate the more openness without having the restrictions you had to follow when you were on the radio! Tight lines guy’s, and we hope to run into you on the water some day!
