Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition to

BTL Bastog Liver. We are going to talk about fishing. Yes, I'm back in the

BTL studios in Shawnee, Oklahoma for the first time since, uh, for the end of June.

It was a long road trip.

I went and visited my parents in Illinois.

It was my mom's 78th birthday on July 1st, so I was there for that and then headed to the Bass Master Open on Lake St. Clair.

Started that practice on a Sunday, did not want to be out there on a Saturday on July 5th.

I thought that was probably just for the preservation of my body and equipment, not a smart move. And I was was right I had some guys that were like

holy cow that was nuts so anyway fished us six seven straight days there caught

the snod out of them drastically underestimated how much weight it would take average just

under 19 pounds a day and finished 80th in that which was shocking they absolutely

blasted them where we'll have some of the guests from that event on this upcoming week then went to

Drove through Canada that Friday night following the final day of that. Now I had never been in Toronto before and I know like

Toronto I believe is kind of like the New York City of Canada. Do Toronto's like a sci-fi city.

It was like 1130, 12 o'clock at night.

And I believe a couple of BTO listeners said, hey, like take the Trans Canada Highway
