My first Bassmaster Classic experience was in 2019 when the big show was in Knoxville, TN. I was in the middle of a very pivotal moment in my life. I'll never forget conversing with fishing icon Al Lindner right before I decided to attend.I had reached out to him online for advice, and a few days later, out of the blue, I received a phone call from a Brainerd, MN area code. I thought that was strange, so I answered, and lo and behold, it was Mr. Lindner. His advice to me was to go for it. So, of course, I did. It landed me in the boat with GMAN, Gerald Swindle.Now here we are in 2023, the Classic returns to Knoxville, and it is crazy to look back and see how far we've come since then.This week's episode will recap my experience at this year's classic, including interviews from media day with Carl Jocumsen, John Cox, and Gerald Swindle. I also share a few other highlights from the event.If you ever have a chance to attend, I highly recommend you do because, just like for the Bassmaster Classic

My journey in Southwest Florida has ended for this season, but only after going out with a bang!  On this week's episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast, you will meet a true adventurer through and through.  My guest Erica Holla a.k.a. Everglades Erica, has pretty much done it all when it comes to Southwest Florida wildlife, including catching gators and pythons and, more recently, working with birds of prey to keep nuisance birds under control where needed at venues such as landfills, sports arenas, and airports to name a few.  After this interview, she was kind enough to come back to the RV Park where we had been staying and bring one of the birds (Larry Bird) to give an educational session to several of the RV'ers and kids, and it was a huge hit!  Erica is a true gem, one who lights up a room with her presence, and I can't wait until we get back down to meet up with her again and do some fishing next time!
