Importance of a Dredge
Anthony Pino: I was wondering, you guys are pretty consistent at fishing. how much does the dredge play into it? You're catching so many fish in the grass and then, why would you even bother putting the dredge out there? Chase Neiderer: Personaly I don't think it matters. Like I get it. It's a tradition, you know? Everyone's like, oh yeah, you gotta have a dredge out there.

As a result of this, they were at the mercy of privately owned media companies that are inherently biased. With the growth of social media, companies can now go direct to consumer and communicate with directly with their customers. It's because of that, that we've seen a serious disruption in the industry. Companies are now creating their own media publications and going direct to consumer, it allows us as...
