This show won’t be short on entertainment that’s for sure! We kick things off by checking in with our old buddy- Lake Fork Guide Heath Hardwick. The first Toyota Sharelunker of the season was caught on Lake Fork over the Christmas Holidays so it’s no secret the big girls are moving up all over the state. Heath breaks down where to find ’em and how to catch ’em as we inch closer to the largemouth’s pre-spawn pattern.
Next we check in with Jackie Bibby- AKA ‘The Texas Snakeman’. Jackie has been hunting rattlebugs all over Texas for over 40 years! And on top of that, he holds numerous Guiness World Records for snake handling. Does climbing into a bathtub with over 200 rattlesnakes sound fun to you? Me neither, but you have to be some kind of adrenaline junkie to attempt it. Jackie tells us all about that stunt as well as some of his other incredible feats. Although he’s reached his early 60s, Jackie is showing no signs of slowing down as evidenced by him starring in the Animal Planet’s hit show Rattlesnake Republic. I guarantee you don’t want to miss this one!
We then round out the broadcast when David Sams of Lone Star Outdoor News joins us to talk whitetails- specifically how to age a buck in the field.

David with a great management buck of his own from last season:
