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

Exciting show today, we have them on two, three times a year.

Rick Pierce from Bass Cap cap boats will join.

I think he has some interesting perspectives,

not only on bass boats and the current bass boat market,

but also professional fishing as a whole.

I'm looking at him behind stage right there.

The man is not only built bass boats for the better part of half a century,

but he's also caught a few fish out of a bass boat and has been through some

changes and lived through and seen and sponsored and talked to guys who have gone back and

forth and changed and format changes.

Well, that's what we're dealing with now.

Before we get to Rick, a couple things went down over the weekend.

Kind of expected this one, Classic champ, David Fritz retired, a legendary career for David Fritz, obviously known for, well we'll ask Rick, we'll bring Rick in for this too.

I wasn't going to bring him in for this already, but we'll bring Rick in for this.

Rick, even though David Fritz forever, fish to get some friends with them, all that.
