Summary
JKolo is back in the studio, and we go from wild fishing stories to the biggest tech conversations in the sport. We cover his "Marathon Man" legacy (including his Guinness World Record 2,143 fish in 24 hours) and how fishing has shaped his mission to give back. Then we break down modern marine tech: Humminbird XPLORE, LakeMaster, Side Imaging/360, Mega Live (live sonar), and how it all connects with Minn Kota through the One-Boat Network to find fish faster and stay on them. We also tackle the hot-button debate: is live/forward-facing sonar "cheating," and what responsibility anglers (and agencies) have as technology continues to accelerate.
