If you decide to write your federal or state senator, here is the reference number for Rick’s complaint: No. 05AEDFD83E.

In this episode, I sit down with Rick Byrnes to uncover the truth behind the Asian Carp crisis—and the disturbing role the federal government may be playing in making the problem worse. Rick has spent years researching invasive species and has filed official complaints against the USGS and USFWS, citing negligence, misconduct, and a lack of real solutions.

If you care about fishing, conservation, or just want to hear the story the mainstream won’t cover—you need to hear this.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the rabbit hole… and who knows where we’ll end up. One minute it’s bass fishing tips, the next it’s Bigfoot, aliens, conspiracy theories, and all kinds of strange-but-true randomness.

This isn’t your typical outdoor podcast — it’s part fishing, part mystery, and full-on chaos. If you’ve ever hooked a bass while wondering if Bigfoot’s watching from the bank… this episode is for you.

🌀 Strap in. It’s gonna get weird.

Think you know all the fish swimming in your local rivers and streams? In our lakes and reservoirs, we target bass and crappie, and in our rivers, we chase trout and catfish. But beneath the surface, a secret world of vibrant, beautiful, and "forgotten fish" is fighting for survival, and their fate is a direct indicator of the health of the waters we all love.

In this episode, we sit down with Bo Baxter, the Senior Conservation Biologist at Conservation Fisheries, Inc. (CFI). Bo is on the front lines of the fight to save North America's most imperiled freshwater fish. We dive deep into a world most anglers have never seen, discussing the incredible species that form the foundation of our aquatic ecosystems.
