About this episode

The episode discusses the Dual Threat Fishing scandal with insights from guest Alex Peric, exploring financial dealings and potential FBI involvement in professional bass fishing.

Pinkalla and Sobi bring in PTB Nations own Alex Peric to breakdown how he saw the Dual Threat Fishing scandal playout. Alex was an angler in the league and has a little different perspective that you might have expected and there's a few things that don't quite add up. Is the FBI getting involved here?! The boys dive into some interesting dealings in the professional bass fishing world, and is APBassing going to run a tournament league?! Following the money might give us some answers.
