About Yo Ish!

BASS Elite Series Pro Ish Monroe wanted to make Season 2 of "Yo Ish!" for the fans. He gets so many questions about fishing while he's out on the road, he wanted to make the show a forum to SHOW them the answers. People submitted their questions at www.bassmaster.com and www.espnoutdoors.com. Here are the topics he'll be discussing this year.
