Fishing experience

You might think that the world’s greatest champion bass fisherman
is only interested in two kinds of fish. That is, the ones with
small and large mouths. But that’s not the case. Kevin actually
grew up fishing for a lot of different species. We talk all about
that in this episode, plus some of the other places he loves to
fish and species he likes to catch.

as some of his most epic non-tournament days (right).
Location

This episode actually takes place from Kevin’s Toyota Tundra.
(We’re getting pretty good at interviewing tournament pros
calling in from the road!). In part 2 of our interview we will
get to Kevin’s most epic day of fishing, but for the moment we’ll
keep that little honey hole a secret …
Catch of the Day Peacock Bass Salmon Champion Bass Fisherman

In this episode, we talk about some of the other species Kevin
likes to catch besides “bucketmouths.”
