BTL, coming at ya!

Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL Bass Talk Live,

where we're going to talk about bass fishing and every once in a while you just have one of those shows

where you get up in the morning and you're like,

today's gonna kick butt, and this is one of those shows today.

We have a live on location from the Lake Norman Red Crest, the one and only.

He's becoming like a consultant, I guess?

Or, I mean, he's like a regular on the show now he talks about it, the one and only,

Jody White, who knows all things, MLF Red Crest, MLFLW Extraordinaire.

He's gonna get us dialed in for Red Crest.

It's weird just the way the schedule worked out with the opens and then going

that I wasn't able to be at Red Crest this year.

But we got Jody White, which is almost as good as being at Red Crest.

And then we have Bradley Holman back from his first two Elite Series stops.

And hey, he's gonna get to give an interview about what it was like fishing the first two Elite Series

and not about how hard the opens are and what he's doing to get ready for the Elite Series.

So I'm sure he's excited to talk about some new stuff for it.
