030 – Second Chances with Ryan Spuhler

If at first you don’t succeed … Guest Profile

Ryan Spuhler is an archivist for a county government in
Pennsylvania. Ryan loves to fish the rivers and lakes of
Pennsylvania for large and smallmouth bass. As a records keeper,
Ryan is always in search of the elusive 20″+ largemouth bass.
These are hard to come by in his parts in their heavily fished
waters. Most weekends you can find Ryan going through the same
routine. Loading the kayak on top of the car, the fishing gear in
it, and heading off to the old fishing hole in search of that
record fish. The trip Ryan describes in this episode started out
much the same. But it ended in a broken heart. Then a mended
heart. And all by the same fish. This one will definitely have
you doing a double take …
