Why Hank Parker Walked Away From Fishing Fame | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 431 Legendary angler and TV host Hank Parker joins Matt and Tim on this week's 100% Wild Podcast, powered by DeerCast. From dominating the Bassmaster Classic to starring in outdoor TV since the '80s, Hank reflects on his unbelievable career in the outdoors—and the moment he nearly lost it all in a treestand accident. The guys talk about public perception around hunting (including the blowback from Matt's recent bear harvest), how Ray Scott turned largemouth bass into America's favorite sportfish, and the early days of outdoor television when cameras were the size of briefcases. Hank shares untold stories from the Earnhardt docu-series, reveals what Dale Sr. was really like behind the wheel and in the woods, and explains why he walked away from the peak of fishing fame to be a better dad. This episode is packed with laughs, wisdom, and emotional moments as Hank recounts the fall that nearly ended his hunting days—and how faith, family, and safety gear helped him get back on his feet.

On this episode of Low Budget Live (Not So Live), Luke runs his mouth about the fact that fishing should be about the individual angler experience, doing better in the fishing community as a whole, sheep that regurgitate everything they're told, and talks with the one and only John Cox about doing things his way in the 2025 Bassmaster Classic, his sight fishing advantage potentially slipping away, needing another Florida Bassmaster Classic, 10 pound bass falling from the sky, and the the pressure of being the only Bassmaster pro with no scope and all hope.

We thought we lost this footage and audio which is why we didn't launch it BEFORE the 2025 Bassmaster Classic. Then, what do you know, we found it on a different hard drive! So here is Jordan, way way before the classic giving his predictions for the tournament. He guesses winner, weight, winning lure and even the 2nd place finisher. Turns out, he was pretty close. Almost like he recorded this after the event, which of course he did NOT. POSITIVITY IS WORTH THE EFFORT!

When my cohost had to step away for very understandable reasons, I called in an emergency guest—and things got real quick.

Oh, and there's a little surprise personal news in here too…

Trey McKinney nearly destroyed his bass fishing boat while trying to get it on the trailer in high winds and waves on Lake Ray Roberts during a practice round for the 2025 Bassmaster Classic in Texas. The boat was swamped by waves while at the ramp in extremely high winds and waves, and he struggled to get it secured to the trailer. High winds on Lake Ray Roberts can be dangerous, especially when they are from the north or south. The video of Trey McKinney's boat sinking shows how scary and dangerous this situation can be. Youtube fisherman and professional bass angler Ben Milliken originally shared the video on his social media platforms.

But first he stops by the podcast to talk about leading AOY, seeing a UFO, interrupting a drug deal and the fact that all pro anglers lie a little.
