Like hanging out, talking fishing with friends.

Great Show !

Ken Duke and BTC are a great duo. Kens opening monologue is almost as good as his smoking jacket. Top ten lists are always on point!
Avidbasser

Great content for the fish heads

Love hearing all the different perspectives from people in the fishing community/industry when they are put on the spot with a subject. Ol’ Ken Duke is just an interesting listen with all of his historical knowledge. BTC is TDC.

Bass. Brilliance.

Nothing I don’t love about this show. It’s smart. Well prepared. Well made. Funny. Insightful. Great guests. Cannot beat it. Truly. So different than every other fish podcast out there.

Boring podcast. Ken duke is very much biased Towards bassmasters.
Brad shepherd

The best podcast for true bass fishing fans!

Amazing podcast! I can’t wait for the show each week. Ken’s knowledge with BTCs flare and top notch guests make this show so entertaining. I think the show topics are second to none!

arkie hojo

Great change of pace listen!

Love the educational and scientific approach while still keeping things light. Unique format and a great listen. Way to go Ken Duke and BTC!
MkYakAZangler

Breath of fresh air

This has been a much needed show to add into the bass fishing milieu on the podcast scene. The choice of topics has been amazing so far as has been the blend of science and experience in the panels. The top 10 is an added bonus to give it a real late-night show feel. Glad to see BTC thriving but still hoping to make his “list” anyhow.
Drunkwood

The best.

I dont need Brians readers on to see how great of a show this is.
