Catching up with Theron Asbery after ICAST 2016

On the recent episode of Bass Cast Radio, we had Todd Walters join us to talk about his life as a fisherman. Todd has been all over, fishing and competing, and he's got a lot of cool stories and ideas to share. One thing he talked about a lot was how fishing isn't just about throwing a line into the water like it used to be. Now, there's all this high-tech gear like forward-facing sonar that's changing the game. It's cool, but it also means fishermen need to learn new skills to keep up.
Todd also talked about how being good at fishing competitions isn't just about understanding fish or the water. It's also about being ready to change your plans fast, depending on the weather or the fish's mood. Plus, he made a big point about staying healthy, both in your body and your mind. It makes sense because fishing can be pretty tough, especially in big tournaments.

The gang had a great time talking about watching professional bass fishing competitions, especially on lakes they've never been to. It's like a strategy game, trying to guess what the pros will do next. Todd gave us a peek into his daily life too, which was super interesting. Besides actually fishing, he works with companies that make fishing gear, helping them come up with new stuff that makes fishing even better.

We ended up chatting about futuristic stuff like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fishing. Imagine having sunglasses that not only protect your eyes but also show you where the fish are. Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, right? And, of course, we all got excited planning our next fishing trip together and making sure we don't miss the Redcrest event, which is a big deal in the fishing world.
All in all, Todd's visit was a reminder of how fishing is evolving and how important it is to stay on top of these changes. Whether it's learning new technology or just making sure you're fit enough to reel in the big one, there's always something new on the horizon in fishing.
