Summary

This week I had a very special guest on the podcast. Adrian Smith is the guitarist of one of the most popular rock bands of all time, Iron Maiden. Many do not know that Adrian also has a passion for fishing, so much so that he just released a book on fishing, titled “Monsters of River and Rock”. I had the chance to read the book and loved it. In the podcast, we talk about stories from the book, I talk to Adrian about touring and using travel for the band as a way to fish new areas, and Adrian gives us a unique perspective of life as both a rock and roll guitarist, and a passionate fisherman.
