Episode 151 is one of those conversations that just flows. Captain Andrew Full of Full Fishing Guide Service out of Western New York joins the show for the 3rd time, and it didn't take long before we were deep into the stuff that actually matters — baits, big bass, and the kind of honest talk you don't always get on a fishing podcast. Andrew breaks down his approach to guiding for giants on Lake Erie and the Great Lakes system, what he's been throwing, and why some of the most overlooked baits are the ones putting fish in the boat. We also get into his decision to part ways with the Serious Angler Podcast — no drama, just real talk about where he's headed next.
