What happened at the Battle on the Border with Byron Velvick?
Hear the story directly from Byron himself and join Legendary professional angler Rick Clunn and Byron Velvick for another powerful installment of In the Mind of the Master on Fish Tales.
Byron opens the show with gratitude for the audience and giveaway winners before diving deep with Rick into winter fishing strategy, vertical techniques, and how electronics have transformed the sport. The two compare forward-facing sonar to old-school instincts, unpack how technology has changed competitive fishing, and revisit unforgettable moments from major tournaments like Falcon Lake and Kentucky Lake.
Beyond tactics, this conversation explores the real cost of elite competition — friendships strained, rivalries formed, and the constant pressure to evolve. From big bait stories to reading nature itself (yes, blue herons included), this episode is a masterclass in fishing, mindset, and longevity.
