Check out this video with Mark Zona and Glenn - and see what he says about these forums! Thanks Mark!
Hi Mark!
He's great
HAH! @A-Jay! Secret revealed!
...with apparently lots and lots of
Photoshopping....
Fess up Zona. Who are ya on the forums?!
Zona is a great host on Bassmaster Live! This also explains why he brought up the subject of KVD winning another event/AOY at the St. Johns event, he must have read that one thread here
Show of hands, who wants to hear Zona drop some coded references to BR threads on the next Live???
Very cool video and pretty awesome the Z-train drops by on here!
If Zona is on the Forum he hopefully will share some insight into the back rooms of professional bass fishing, without all the glamor, and how bass fishing is a difficult and extremely challenging career.
Also looking for his humor and outstanding information on bass fishing and life.
Welcome Zona to the Forums.
I too enjoy watching Zona...seems like a great family man
Zona is great, a day on the water with him would be awesome.
Who is Zona?
WOW!
I say BR has a giveaway to the first person that figures out which member is Mark Zona...
Zona is right!
We got an awesome Boss.

My guess -- either Raider or bigbill
I am pretty sure Zona is using the screen name "Kamala"
Zona's show is my favorite. Highs and lows and zany humor, it's all there. The guy has a great sense of humor and apparently loves his 5 hr energy drink....lol
dude is a trip
That's pretty cool he's on here. He's definitely my favorite TV fishing show. Just a funny dude
I'm a fan of Zona.................my all time LOL moment ever of watching a fishing show was the episode he filmed on Falcon Lake with Chris Zaldain and the camera guy in the boat following them fell in the water.
I have a disturbing fetish of finding extreme humor when people fall off of boats, I have fallen out of mine before, and hilarity has ensued.
I had the pleasure of meeting Zona at the Elite series at Table Rock a couple years ago, and he's the same guy in person as he is on his show. One of my dream days on the water would be getting to fish with Zona and Hackney. Don't care where or what we fish for, but they're 2 of my favorite guys to watch and listen to and together is just a big hot mess.
Zona's big fish slang term crack me up too. I still bust out a "Fence Panda" every once in awhile.

He's either here to learn more tips or help us??? I think he's spy on us for the fishing competition. Lmao. Get ready for the laughs.
I'm a toy short of a happy meal today.
I bet Zona is the guy that gets on twice a year to ask our favorite bass recipe...
Are we getting to take the forum to the next level on live TV on ESPN.
LETS go we have the talent now.
HEY MARK!!!
I have Shimano reels on all my G- Loomist rods. I buy all my Strike King lures and Trokar hooks from BPS and Bass Mafia. And I wear my Carhart coveralls while driving my Ram truck.
Next time you upgrade your Nitro how bout hooking me up with your " old" boat!!!
No response from Mike yet?
Are you filming at ESPN in Bristol?

Glenn, can you verify this is actually him?
Not sure what difference it makes. Z already said he visits. Just press your 'I believe button' and go with it

yeah when I read his post it sounded like his voice in my head.
That might be him but he's totally lurking in the shadows on his O.G. account! Ztrain was created 5 hours ago!

I think that same episode Chris's girlfriend was in the camera boat and got bored so she started fishing and started catching a few behind the camera.
Love the show, my son and I record the series and watch it together. Mark seems like he would be a really fun guy to go fishing with.
Ken
Mark is a poster boy for why energy drinks should be outlawed! I do enjoy what a spaz he is though. Of course he gets on the forums, he loves bass fishing like the rest of us!

A little late in responding, but yes, it's him. Got it straight from him, face-to-face.
Hope you enjoyed the Classic, bet Zona was pulling hard for his buddy Ike.
Zona's TV show this year was excellent, very entertaining, hats off to him.
Tom
Thanks Glenn.....
You bring on good people....

My only complaint about the show....there isn't enough of them! We need 25 episode seasons! I can't get enough of the show. Being from Michigan the new season starts in the winter and helps to survive the winter just to have the season end late winter. Just when I think I'm going to make it through the winter watching the show the rugs pulled out from beneath me and back to my dark damp cave I go until 50 degree temps arrive.
If anyone should be cloned it should be Z to split hit time so we could get more shows!
Ztrain's replies should be in all caps, all the time. Adds a little authenticity don't you think?
I've always been a big fan of Zona's. Have learned a lot about fishing these Michigan waters from his shows and seminars. I can't wait until this weeks ZAFS, finally a new episode and it just happens to be with newly crowned Classic winner Jordan Lee.
If Zona is reading this, please bring back the chat function on the Bassmaster Live broadcasts! It had a good/helpful chat crowd that would catch people up on things they might have missed or not understood during the broadcast.
Met Zona at the expo. He could not have been any nicer. Not only to myself but to any fan who approached him. Really enjoyed his coverage of the classic as well.
Mark Zona's presence on the forums should come as no surprise,
Mark has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, which I salute.
Roger
I love his show. Lots of info and always a sense of humor.
Zona puts the fun back in fishing,Love his show.
