Bass and Brews Fishing Podcast

Jon and Wes return to the Bass and Brews Podcast to talk about the awesome things going on at REEL Heroes and Purple Heart Homes. We laughed, we cried, damn did we have a time.  

In this episode, we sit down with the one and only Justin Copely, a master of big swimbaits and even bigger opinions. We talk chasing tanks, throwing absurdly oversized lures, and why finesse fishing might just be for cowards (his words, not ours—maybe). Expect hot takes, foul language, and more laughs than you'd get at a boat ramp on a Saturday morning. If you're into big bites and even bigger BS, this one's for you. WARNING: This episode contains strong language, fishing obsession, and zero apologies. Listener discretion is advised—especially if you're a Ned rig purist.

This is a legacy episode from a few years ago with Greg Blanchard. You probably know Greg from his YouTube channel and him being a baller in California. Alex could'nt make it because of some family issues that included puking! haha.  Come listen to Paul and Greg talk for one of the longest episodes on Bass and Brews ever!

Veteran Fishing joins the boys to talk about his military time, the help he's giving to our veterans, how vets can get help, and Paul talks about fires.

Serious Angler Podcast steps down from its mighty throne to bless the peasants that are the Bass and Brews Podcast listeners. We should all be so lucky that these titans of media made some time for us little people.

This week on Bass and Brews, we're stirring the pot—but not in the kitchen. Chef Lance joins us to talk fishing, life behind the line, and how slinging plates compares to slinging bass. We cover everything from his biggest catches (on and off the water) to wild kitchen stories, and of course, crack open a few cold ones along the way. Expect laughs, a little chaos, and maybe a recipe for disaster—but definitely not one for a soufflé. Pull up a seat, pop a brew, and enjoy the madness. It's Bass and Brews, where the fish are big and the BS is bigger.

The absolute Hammer Landon from the Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing Club joins the boys for another awesome episode. If you like'd Bass and Brews when it was a little unhinged and covers all kinds of topics other than fishing, then this is the episode for you.

This week, we kicked back with the one and only Bass Geek—YouTube's go-to guy for all things bass fishing and deep-fried tackle talk. From swapping stories about the ones that got away (and the ones that didn't stand a chance), to geeking out over lures, sonar tricks, and why bass might be smarter than your average ex, it's all here. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just in it for the chill boat vibes, this episode is your ticket to some good laughs, great tips, and maybe even a new obsession. Grab a cold one, sit back, and let's cast off.

What happens when two podcast co-hosts meet in person for the very first time? Chaos, camaraderie, and questionable fire-starting skills, of course. In this special (and slightly smoky) episode, Paul and Alex finally ditch the video calls and link up face-to-face—at a remote campsite, no less. Joined by Dustin from Hands On Adventures, the trio sets up a camping meetup and rigs a live podcast recording right in the great outdoors. Expect plenty of laughs, a few gear fails, and some behind-the-scenes magic as they prep for their most hands-on episode yet. Tents are pitched. Mics are hot. S'mores are... mildly burnt. Tune in for campfire vibes, real talk, and a whole lot of forest-fueled fun.

This week, Steve and the ever-dramatic Sassy Dan take the helm as tournament directors for the prestigious Bassmaster Kayak Series. What could possibly go wrong when two grown men armed with clipboards, questionable fashion choices, and an irrational fear of paddleboards try to wrangle a fleet of competitive anglers? From rule disputes settled by rock-paper-scissors to Dan's impromptu interpretive dance at the captain's meeting, this episode is wetter, wilder, and way more chaotic than anyone asked for.
