Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing with a guy today who has done a lot of bass catching.

Recorded show today I'm currently in Minnesota trying to figure out, well hopefully I've got it figured out.

In all likelihood I don't have it figured out.

And I'm catching a lot of musky and rock bass in. In all likelihood, I don't have it figured out.

And I'm catching a lot of musky and rock bass and walleye, but Leach Lake for the seventh

Bass Master Open EQ of the season.

Talked a little bit last week with Brandon McMillan about kind of the excitement of going

to a lake that you've never been to before trying to figure it out try to break it

down trying to figure out whether you want to target the largemouth or the small

mouth you have new new types of figure out whether you want to target the largemouth or the small mouth.

You have new types of cover. Wild rice, which I wonder if our guest today.

Our guest today has caught them pretty much every way you can catch them and you did a lot of catching in the final BPT event of the 2024 season so much so that they gave him a check for $100,000 for doing it.

As the one and only Michael, Neil,

Michael, thanks for jumping on BTO.

Yeah, absolutely, any time, thanks.

Have you ever fished wild rice?
