Bass Edge Goes Ike
OutdoorHub 02.01.12
Mike Iaconelli visits hosts Aaron Martin and Steve Brigman on February’s episode of the popular podcast, “The Edge” presented by KeelGuard. Ike shares his insights on fishing rivers as he prepares to compete in his 12th Bassmaster Classic, along with valuable tips on successful pre-spawn angling.
“I could listen to Mike all day,” Martin said “He’s like a bass fishing information machine. This is one of the longest interviews we’ve had because we just couldn’t get enough.”
Bass Tackle Depot’s Fil Torres also joins the Bass Edge crew for an update on the latest in bait trends and a look back at some traditional baits.
“We had fun with that, teasing Aaron that he thought a Hawaiian wiggler was a hula dancer,” Brigman said. “We’ve really loosened up this year with a lot more kidding around.”
Louisiana angler Joe Mitchell rounds out the show with a breakdown of his home waters, The Red River, and some predictions on how it will fish during the upcoming Classic.
“The Edge” podcast is available free on iTunes and bassedge.com. Each month, some of the country’s top anglers join Martin and Brigman to talk bass fishing. Listener questions are answered each episode with a $25 basstackledepot.com gift certificate awarded for those questions chosen.
“The Edge” is presented by Megaware Keelguard, developer of the industry’s first do-it-yourself keel protector, providing boat owners protection from grinding sand, abrasive rocks and concrete ramps. Along with Legend Boats, the show is also sponsored by BassTackleDepot.com, Power-Pole, Dobyns Rods, Mercury Outboards and WrapAholic.com.
Martin established himself as one of the fishing world’s most popular anglers during his three seasons as host of the Bass Edge television, which aired of four different networks. Television show and podcast producer Steve Brigman is an award-winning outdoor writer, author and photographer. Both live in the Missouri Ozarks, where they record from the Bass Edge studios, overlooking Table Rock Lake.
