Jigs and Bigs
This isn’t like ANY other fishing podcast you’ve ever heard! J&B has a morning show type of vibe, but is centered on fishing stories, guests, tips and tactics, gear discussion, and btw… NSFW! We have mouths like true degenerate anglers, but hearts of solid GOLD!

Ep. 432: Ken Duke on “Growing the Sport,” Media, & the Future of Fishing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s episode is a full-on marathon — and it’s worth every minute. We kick things off in classic Jigs & Bigs fashion before diving headfirst into a long-form conversation with Ken Duke that goes way beyond the usual fishing talk. We get into the phrase everybody throws around — “grow the sport” — and ask whether that’s really the right goal in the first place. From there, the conversation opens up into the health of the fishing industry , the role of media, what makes content actually valu
Ep. 341: STOP Chasing Shad! Fall Bass Fishing Without Shad | Guest Co-Host Kai the Fish Guy! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every fall, bass anglers hear the same advice: FIND THE SHAD. FOLLOW THE BAIT. Great advice... What if your lake doesn't have shad? That's exactly where we're going in Episode 341. Kai Ludden, aka Kai the Fish Guy , returns to Jigs & Bigs as our guest co-host, and this time we're digging into fall bass fishing in northern lakes, ponds and rivers where shad aren't the primary forage...or aren't there at all. Instead of blindly applying the standard fall playbook, we're looking at what bass are ac
Ep. 340: Stop Borrowing Confidence! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much of the way you fish comes from what YOU have actually learned… and how much came from somebody telling you what should work? Fishing reports. YouTube. Tournament results. Facebook groups. Dock talk. Your buddies. Pros. Influencers. We consume an insane amount of fishing information, and none of that is necessarily a bad thing. The problem starts when somebody else's experience becomes more important than the evidence you've gathered yourself. This week on Jigs & Bigs , Bobby, Joe and Mi
Ep. 339: You CANNOT make more Saturdays! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can always make more money. But you can’t make more Saturdays. Fishing time is limited — and sometimes the difference between a frustrating day and an incredible one is recognizing a 20-minute window before it disappears. This week on Jigs & Bigs , Bobby, Joe and Mike dig into how anglers can get better at recognizing when something on the water has changed. Wind picks up. Clouds roll in. Bait starts moving. Current changes. You get one bite…then another. Did a window just open? We talk abou
Ep. 338: Fish the Clues, Not the Calendar | Fall Transition Tips! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The calendar says fall. The fish may disagree. This week on Jigs & Bigs, Bobby digs into the fall transition and why anglers get into trouble when they start fishing the date instead of the conditions in front of them. On Just the Tip , we break down how to recognize the real signs of a seasonal shift — water temperature trends, forage movement, vegetation changes, bird activity, fish location and more — and why one clue by itself doesn’t mean much. One fish is just a fish. Two is the beginning
