Join us as we interview pro bass angler Todd Woods who has been fishing competitively for over 29 years. He has several top 10 finishes and has been absolutely crushing over the last year. He dives deep into tips and tricks that he uses to catch big bass and has a great sense of humor. When he’s not fishing, he’s either hanging out with his awesome family or he’s saving lives as a fire captain in San Dimas, California where he’s been for over 25 years. With plans to retire soon from the fire department, Todd has no plans to retire anytime soon from fishing!
