BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Bassmaster is bringing fans an all-new, sometimes-raw podcast with the launch of Oh-Fish-ally, Unofficial, hosted by legendary Bassmaster emcee Dave Mercer. Premiering this week exclusively on Bassmaster.com, this fresh take on fishing talk will deliver raw, real and ridiculously entertaining conversations straight from the biggest names in the sport.

Each episode, Mercer will be joined by a rotating panel of Bassmaster pros and industry icons to tackle the hottest topics in bass fishing. Expect a rapid-fire breakdown of everything happening on and off the water, as the show pulls back the curtain and gives fans an inside look at the uncensored, behind-the-scenes conversations that happen when the cameras are off.

“I can’t think of a better way to kick off the year than by having the best voice in our sport, both on stage and in the fishing podcast world, joining our Bassmaster Channel in such a meaningful way,” said Mike McKinnis, VP of media/content for JM Associates. “We are fortunate to have Dave leading our lineup of content.”

“I could not be more excited to jump into this new podcast on the Bassmaster Channel,” said Dave Mercer. “About the only constant in pro angling today seems to be inconsistency. It does not matter the subject, everyone has an opinion, and they are almost never the same. On this show, we are gonna hear ’em all.”
