Major League Fishing presents a new podcast: MLF No Limits. In each episode of No Limits, MLF Editor-In-Chief Joel Shangle connects with anglers from the Bass Pro Tour to chat about fishing tactics/techniques, outdoors lifestyle and the unique behind-the-scenes realities of life as a professional bass angler.
Murry starts off talking about one of Joel Shangle and Tyler Brinks' favorite things on the internet: Old Tackle Tuesday, which John has been posting on Facebook since 2020.
Murray then details the Ironman event that the good ol' U.S. Open used to be in the 1980s and 1990s, when it was held in the heat of summer on Lake Mead. "Toughest tournament there ever was," Murray says.
Murray talks about his run of success on the West Coast, where he won a whopping 31 boats and seven trucks/cars.
Murray details his introduction to a teenage Aaron Martens, and how he made "the biggest mistake of my life" in cluing Martens in to sight fishing.

Aaron Martens: in his own words
It seems impossible that it's been a year since Aaron Martens passed away, but here we are, a couple of weeks after the anniversary of his passing. In the days and weeks immediately after we lost Aaron to cancer in November of 2021, I had planned to publish this piece of audio from an interview that I did with him a handful of years prior - it was a really interesting conversation where he talked about his earliest childhood memory of catching fish (trout, by the way), of his first bass tournament with his mom Carol, and of random things that made Aaron Martens who he was. I remember thinking at the time "Man, this is SO COOL listening to him talk about this stuff!" I figured you might think it's cool, too. This is brief - it's just shy of 15 minutes - but it's nothing but Aaron's voice, talking about things that I know you'll find interesting. In his own words, here is Aaron Martens.

Lake Fork "Ice Day" with Casey Ashley & Jonathon VanDam
Icy conditions have pushed the Championship Round of Bass Pro Tour Stage Two at Lake Fork back a day. Both Casey Ashley and Jonathon VanDam will fish for the trophy and $100,000 payday, but they had a day to rest up and warm their bones. We hit them up for a quick chat about their week in East Texas. In this episode of the No Limits podcast, Ashley and VanDam talk about their fondness for "tough" tournaments with big fish, and describe just how brutally cold the Knockout Round was. Their prediction for what it'll take to win the Lake Fork trophy: "Somewhere north of 50 pounds."
