Good morning and welcome to another exciting addition to BTL Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing back in studio for the first time in a week. I headed to last week I was up in Minnesota for my buddy Adam, Artuzek's wedding. It was basically just a bunch of fishing guys that had to dress up and wear a tie. So it was awesome. We got to talk fishing. I got to talk fishing with a bunch of guys that I only get to see a couple times a year. Like at the Dick st. Jude bass classic and that he had some like musky guys it was eclectic mix because you had like the bass fishing guys and then you had like sport fishing guys like musky guys and then you had the ice fishing guys and I like there's like 250 people there I like to just look around the room and be like that's an ice fishing table that's a bass fishing table that's a musky table. So that was fun. But after that, I like to just look around the room and be like, that's a nice fishing table, that's a bass fishing table, that's a musky table. So that was fun. But after that, I went to Wisconsin for the second year of the in-fisherman master angler quest with Matt Stefan. He came here last year. We hit some adverse weather conditions. We were still able to knock out a master angler croppy and we continued We continued the Panfish train we ended up knocking out a master angler perch

Matt was an ounce short I don't think he was too heartbroken about it that means he gets to go back to the perch grounds to catch him

But I ended up catching a 14 and a half inch, one pound, 13 ounce yellow

perch. You can watch all of the, all the action over on Matt Stephens' YouTube channel.

Then we kind of mash it up with a BTL at night. So we did a full week of BTLs last week,

just in the evening after we had driven all over Wisconsin. We did drive all over Wisconsin.

We did walleye over Wisconsin. We did

walleye and musky and small mouth and yellow perch, a really cool fishery that he has up there.

So something that I look forward to every fall just kind of reminds you of why you love

fishing. We're going to have a week of guests on this week. And these guys also love

fishing, not only because they catch

them but it's also very lucrative for them we're going to kick off today's show with
