There’s nothing better after working outside in 0 degree windchills than kicking your feet up and watching Zona’s Awesome Fishing Show on the big TV.

 

Sadly this is the last episode for the year which is a major bummer! I’d be good with a 20 episode season. Thankfully I have a nice Z-Train DVR library going on.

A bit of a dog fetish I see....

I like his show to

She’s a Pug freak. I hated those dogs. At one time we had 4. Now we’re down to 2. She gets these dogs and they get attached to me. 

Man I’d have to sweep all that stuff off the top shelf with my arm, there’s no way I could watch tv with things sitting in front, even if they only block the bottom couple inches ?

That was last weeks episode I believe. They were up in @A-Jay‘s neck of the woods ‘crack tubing’ I believe. It’s always interesting watching crack tubing.

That was it! Ole zona got a little emotional during the interview. I liked when he said “I’m OBSESSED with it!”

Sometimes he drives me crazy!

But his show is one of the few that explains what he's using and why.

The only time I’ve seen this presentation is when Zona does it. I’ve seen him do it several times over the years, and I watched the latest episode of The Bass Pros and Zona was doing on his segment. 

I love his show.  I met him at the Schaumburg Expo last month and talked a bit.  He seemed like a down to earth guy who genuinely appreciates his fans.

He does seem like a cool guy. Last week my brother had a driver (FedEx) call in last Friday. He sent me a photo of a big box from TH Marine addressed to Mark Zona. I said everything addressed to him should be forwarded to me and I’ll get it to him. ?

 

He’s talked with him a few times and said he’s a pretty cool guy. He didn’t know who he was, just he got a lot of “outdoor stuff” all the time. 

Those decorations are blocking the bottom of the TV screen.  LOL, that would drive me nuts! ?

Fantastic breed. So lovable, my only complaint is the shedding. They shed a coat of fur a week it seems.

 

I had mine for 15 years before he passed. Haven't had a dog since then. I miss him to this day but I am enjoying my freedom.

The shedding is bad. The one my wife had before we met, we lost him 2 years ago. He was 17. We’ve lost 3 over the course of 12 months. Now our newest and youngest was diagnosed with Mast cell tumors. She’s having surgery next Friday, the prognosis is guarded at this point, we’ll know more after the surgery. 

 

They are are a good breed, they’ve grown on me. The two we have now don’t snort unless they are really worked up which rarely happens.

 

i think the Pug breed is trying to take over the world though. Every commercial on TV with a dog in it, there’s a Pug! Every internet advertisement, every magazine there’s a Pug! 

Z is the man & is unapologetic about it!

in this politically correct world his days r numbered saddle

The plot to John Wick...

Zona is one of the better teachers out there.  He is not tied to a tournament mentality, he seems to realize there are different types of fishermen.

And a lot of his shows are geared toward natural lakes and how to approach them, unlike a lot of shows and information out there that’s geared mostly towards river impoundments. ?
