Living Life and Catching Fish with Hard Work and Common Sense

1h 4m · National Wildlife Federation Outdoors · 17 Aug 20:52

Lots of guests elicit laughter and also a few tugs at the heartstrings. Laughter is pretty easy, but it’s rare a guest has both Aaron and Bill holding back tears in between the laughs, but Joey Monteleone did just that. From working hard in the inner city as a child of immigrants to traveling North America lecturing, writing and filming television shows about fishing, Monteleone has managed to live the life so many of us dream while hopefully watching a bobber during our youth. Over 50,000 (more than 1500 over five pounds) bass later, Joey’s focus on simplifying tackle and techniques is awesome information for both beginner and veteran fishermen.  Suggested Links: https://hub.jacksonkayak.com/team-jk/kayak-fishing-factory-team/joey-monteleone/ https://www.amazon.com/ILL-BE-TENNESSEAN-YA-History/dp/1689845139 https://www.amazon.com/60-Seasons-fishing-Joey-Monteleone/dp/1952474922 https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Storms-CentAnni-Joey-Monteleone/dp/1957344202/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15Q7IQIDO5MUD&keywords=the+secret+of+storms+joey+monteleone&qid=1692194518&s=digital-text&sprefix=the+secret+of+storms+joey+monteleone%2Cdigital-text%2C106&sr=1-1-catcorr Learn more about your ad choices.

They’re Building Land in Louisiana!

Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s Chairman is Bren Haase. Chairman Haase is a passionate hunter and angler from Sportsman’s Paradise, and he joined us to talk about Louisiana’s coastal land loss crisis and how the state is battling that crisis for both people and wildlife.
