We also have a quick update on an Elite Series angler battling scary health situation, another one of the legends retires, and we tackle choosing the right kayak length.     Brought to you by:  American Legacy Fishing & Outdoors www.americanlegacyfishing.com Use Code: TACKLETALK5 for 5% Off (including sale items!)
