Show Notes
This week Joel and Lee swap stories from two very different weeks on the water.
Joel took the entire Australian Boomers basketball team - including Ben Simmons, Josh Giddey and Jock Landale - out chasing squid ahead of their World Cup and Olympic campaigns.
Meanwhile, fresh off the tackle trade show in Brisbane, Lee breaks down the standout new gear for the season including Shimano's award-sweeping year and a new breed of soft plastics.
There's also a jaw-dropping side-scan sonar catch of a 150cm giant jewfish cruising just meters from the boat and the boys reflect on fishing in today's culture and the next generation of young anglers.
