Zona's Awesome Fishing Show

After a cold tough grind on Falcon Lake in 2014, Z and Pro Angler Keith Combs are out for some Texas Largemouth redemption, on hallowed ground at Lake Fork. kwbass

Twenty years ago Z and Pro Angler Davy Hite met on the shores of Lake Ontario in upstate New York. What better way to celebrate a reunion than finding a calm day to get out and wreck some giant Thousand Island.

Sad to say it, our old standby Falcon Lake let us down last year. Twice. But we aren't going down without a fight. No, we are back with Texas Pro Angler Jeff Kriet and we're out for revenge.

It's been a rough year for our buddy KVD. Which means it's time for a Lift You Up Show. Even the greatest need a pick me up sometime. Fortunately, we have just the medicine, Lake Huron, giant smallmouth and lots of em.

Two things have never happened on the Zona show'.  We've never ventured out to the bass heaven that is Kentucky Lake and we've never taken out our old friend, Bassmaster.com editor Steve Bowman.  Springtime fun is here.

For years Z has been heading south to Key West and fishing with my buddy, Florida Keys guide Steve Impallomeni. Everytime he goes down he's looking for one thing... carnage. Guess what?  He found some.

Ever heard about a guy developing a trophy bass lake in South Texas? Guess what he's feeding 'em? Freshwater prawns, yep giant lobster creatures. This place is a Bass anglers dream, and a frog's nightmare.

Z's old buddy JT Kenny is a beast flipping the grass mats of Florida. A chance to leave Icy Michigan for Sunny Florida? Uh, yeah.  

My friend Dave Mercer came down and we taped an episode of his show Facts of Fishing and crushed some smallmouth on the umbrella rig. Well, showing pure TV host greed, I wanted a show like that of my own. Glad to say I caught em. Mercer? Well'

I love a grinder. Since the beginning of ZAFS we have said we shoot no matter what and today is one you would want to back out of. But not us, nope, we are going. Temp of 40 and wind gusting 35 - 40? Perfect.

One of my best buds in the world, Greg Hackney, went on a tear last year and won himself the Bassmaster Angler of the Year. It's the perfect time of year for a Toledo Bend beatdown and I wanted no one with me but him. Ah, if only things went as planned.

We are heading back to the scene of the crime with 2014 Bassmaster Classic Champ Randy Howell to where he won the big one on the center of all things Bass fishing, Lake Guntersville. The weather deals us some blows but Guntersville always brings it.
