Good afternoon and welcome to another second edition of

BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing with a long-haul

trucking expedition a little jaunt up to Minnesota this past weekend for the Croppy Chronicles and

BTL St. Jude Dick, highly bass classic fundraiser.

Got to meet a lot of cool people up there this weekend.

Highlight of my weekend was 11 year old Owen,

who listens to BTL.

He came.

He wanted to say hi.

He had a Brandon Pollanix sweatshirt on.

I was talking to him. His dad was there. They had like, he had three under 11 and said there was a fourth at home. All super well behaved, but he was talking to me about it. He's got a 14 foot John boat. Got it all out he said he fishes out of it by himself anyway

You want to talk there's a lot of discussion going on in the world of bass we'll bring our guests in today

He'll appreciate this conversation as well. The one and only

the 2024 Bass Fishing Hall of Fame inductee, along with the likes of Mike McGinniske Skeet, Reese, Alfred Williams, and Fred Arborgast is the Z-train.

Mark Zona, thanks for jumping off, BTL.

I know you've got a crazy hectic schedule. That's why we're doing it at noon. So much appreciated and first right off the top before we get back to Owen.
