It’s been a long time coming, but I finally put together a video from the footage I collected at the Media Bass tournament I fished back in March. A couple of TOADS caught in this video. Check it out!

 

Come celebrate National Fishing & Boating Week next week at Gander Mtn in Round Rock, TX!  On Wednesday, June 4th, they will be having a special Rod & Reel Night, and I will be there at a booth to help answer any rod & reel related questions, other fishing questions, or just plain BS about fishing!  Hope to see ya’ll there!
