Join us on this episode of Deck Talk as we welcome one of bass fishing’s most respected and clutch performers — Dave Lefebre!

Fresh off his dramatic victory at the Kubota Heavy Hitters Presented by Bass Pro Shops on Florida’s Orange Lake, Dave joins the dock to break down his incredible $200,000 double-dip performance. He not only claimed the Heavy Hitters championship belt with 31-3 but also boated a massive 9-pound, 3-ounce Berkley Big Bass to sweep both the win and the big bass bonus in the final moments of the championship round.

Dave shares the story behind his epic comeback, his go-to baits and patterns that produced under pressure, what it means to close out his Bass Pro Tour career on such a high note, and plenty of hard-earned wisdom from over two decades as a touring pro.

Whether you’re a weekend angler looking for tips or a fan of big-stage tournament fishing, this is an episode packed with insight, heart, and heavyweight bass fishing talk.

Tune in live, bring your questions, and pull up a chair on the deck — you don’t want to miss this one!
