It’s been a busy, busy, busy summer for the Driftwood crew. Family vacations, work trips, and Brandon’s big Africa trip are some of the highlights. But we can’t get too far in without acknowledging our 200th podcast. We went big for our 100th episode a while back with Shag’s fishing idol, Bill Dance, so we couldn’t let #200 slip by without going for something equally exciting. Brandon connected with his fishing idol, none other than Mr. In-Fisherman himself, Al Lindner. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Brandon was influenced by Al early on in his life, and how Al started his empire. It’s an excellent story, and Al is just a phenomenal person. Give episode #200 a listen if you haven’t already. It’s a must-listen.

We heard the backstory of how Brandon was invited on the Africa trip in episode #198 Josh gets drunk and buys a trip to Africa. You can also read his article leading up to the trip, below. Now you can hear firsthand how the hunt kicked off, recorded live in South Africa. Check out episode #202: The Complete South Africa Experience Part 1.

In between all of that, the guys managed to get an afternoon on the water with Misty Mountain Guide Service. Check out episode #201: Steppin’ on Necks for Smallies.
