Good morning and welcome to another second edition of BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing.

A lot going on in the world of bass fishing over the last couple weeks we have

angler of the years we have classic qualifications red crest qualifications

uh who is uh... looking for a home in professional bass fishing who re-qualified for another year, new

qualifiers, all sorts of stuff going on.

Recorded show today, I'm currently still up in Minnesota trying to catch either Large Martha or Smallmouth at Leach Lake.

I'm implying my trade up there for the open, but a really cool show.

Got a collegiate angler that I've had my eye on. I notice he was he's fishing the he's

fishing a couple opens. He's been in the in the Toyota series and now he is a sophomore at Auburn University, but like the

dudes also like fished with some heavy hitters out there. He's having a good

year on the Toyota series. He's currently in the top 40 in the Northern Division and then cash to check in the Plains Division as well.

So I'm not sure what to expect for Reese here, but one of those

dudes who is trying to make a name for himself in the industry, collegiate angler.

Actually, he's probably got about two years if you look at what the average age

of the guys who are kicking everyone's butt is now.

He might be on a little bit on the older stage of it.
