I'm super pumped about this episode because you get to hear from an angler who ditched forward facing sonar, but still managed to rise to the top of competitive bass fishing. Dustin Smith placed second in Rookie of the Year and fifth in Angler of the Year on the Tackle Warehouse Invitational circuit in 2025 without ever staring at a screen shaking a jighead minnow. In fact, Dustin doesn't own a unit with live sonar. Hell, even his trolling motor ain't the latest and greatest...

Recently, Taylor and his crew tricked out my Tracker Targa with all the latest and greatest and I couldn't be happier! Get a peak into the mind of a master and learn about the ex...
