Zona's Awesome Fishing Show 2024


fishing user avatar12poundbass reply : 

Has anyone watched the most recent episode of Zona's Awesome Fishing Show? I just watched it last night. Zona and Iaconelli are out in the Chesapeake and I dare say it was the funniest show yet! Those two together make a great show, they reminded me of Dumb and Dumber! I know some don't care for Ike but you have to admit he's entertaining and those two paired up has been long overdue. There's going to be a part 2 to their trip soon.

They are both one of the few pros that I would love to fish with. They seem to have fun doing what they do. Both seem to have a side that can be agitated by certain conditions. Don't we all. Don't know them but seem to be great guys. Was a great show. Ike seems to keep it real.

I have a friend who met Zona at KVD's brothers store in Kalamazoo and he said he was really cool. After only talking with him for a few minutes Zona asked him for his address. A few days later he received a couple big Zona decals. I've read Ike's book and it's a good book. It covers everything in his life and gives you a different side of Ike along with fishing tips throughout the book. It's something I'd recommend to any bass fisherman.

Zona is awesome


fishing user avatargulfcaptain reply : 

Zona's a mess, but he would be a blast to fish with.

His show has been my favorite since I discovered it.  Gotta love this guys zany personality and his "from the heart" narratives.  Best show ever, never a dull moment!


fishing user avatar"hamma" reply : 

  What I like about Zona's shows is the variety. He doesnt seem to "target" one area, I've seen shows from California, Michigan area and down south. As well as a variety of anglers that he fishes with, they add in some explanation of whats being used, and how its being fished. I find his shows, not only quite entertaining, but informative as well.

 Keep up the good work Mark,  other hosts, should take notice.

 


fishing user avatarFrogFreak reply : 

Wait Mark reads this stuff.... Great now his big head is going to get even bigger!

 

All joking aside, I only record a couple fishing shows anymore and his is one of them. I enjoy watching him fight the fish and his ADD or ADHD or whatever he has. The whole thing just seems real to me. I dislike shows where they fish from stocked ponds during the spawn etc. Mark shows the tough days as well as the great days.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

I met Zone at an Elite event at Table Rock a few years ago and he's the same in person as he is on his show, he even had my wife cracking up.

I did see the newest episode and had to rewind it because I missed what exactly happened to Ike at first. They were an accident looking for a place to happen that day.


fishing user avatarTeam9nine reply : 

I don't catch his show often, but I do enjoy his personality and sense of humor...plus he's the only big show that I'm aware of thats ever done an episode on Spoonplugging! Gotta love that ? Lol

FORUM STALKER! That guy cracks me up every time. He does have the best show. 


fishing user avatartander reply : 

Love Zona, he can really keep it going. Can't say the same for Ike, really not one of my favorites.


fishing user avatarXzyluM reply : 

One of the few shows I have set to record. Always enjoy watching his show. 


fishing user avatarColumbia Craw reply : 

They should both be poster boys for Ritilan.  Best drug for ADHD on planet Earth.


fishing user avatarwally311 reply : 

Haven't caught the show yet, but it's on my DVR. Looks like I know what I'm doing tonight!

Ike had Zona on his Ike Live show a month or two ago. Those two together are definitely entertaining.


fishing user avatarNorcalBassin reply : 

Definitely my favorite episode to date and we DVR every episode since it's the one show my daughters will watch with me. They also love Ike and got a kick out of his "allergic reactions," but the falling in at the end of the episode was will live on for years in our family. Great show and always makes the best of what the day brings.


fishing user avatarCTBassin860 reply : 

I have it set to record at 9


fishing user avatarCTBassin860 reply : 

Just watched it! That was pretty great.Those two need a weekly show.


fishing user avatarMichiganBass80 reply : 

I caught that show and it was great.  I rewound the last part of that show a few times :lol:

Zona's show is one of my favorites, one of my top 3 for sure.  Great guy, who loves to fish our Michigan waters. Caught a seminar of his on swimbaits a couple years ago, very informative.  Ike, well he's a little out there and his screaming gets on my nerves...A LOT.  But I'd love to share a boat with him and just soak in everything he has to say/teach.


fishing user avatarTriCityBassin' reply : 

Met Ike years ago and was i guess "star struck" LMBO.  Forgot all my questions and no one was in line behind me!  I hope to get another chance.  Zona's show is AWESOME.  Absolutely hilarious watching him switch from super serious football head class to making up names for huge bass.  For me, Ike is my #1, Zona #2 followed by Greg Hackney.  If the 3 of them EVER got together I would pay to see it!!!


fishing user avatarScottK91 reply : 

Zona and Mercer are hilarious!! I love watching them on bassmaster live. I'm going to go try and see them at Susquehanna fishing tackle but I'm sure that place will be packed!! 


fishing user avatar1BADAIR reply : 

Zona drove my buddy back to Michigan from 1000islands( I believe) when his appendix burst during and event 

Gonna try to meet him when the elites are in town this year


fishing user avatarCatch 22 reply : 

Ha Ha I saw Ike go overboard.lmao==Definitely not staged.


fishing user avatarMumbly reply : 

Are you guys watching the show on the Outdoor Channel? We don't get that channel up here in Canada but I did notice a commercial  for Zona's show on the World Fishing Network. I watched the last show and he was fishing with KVD. Must be a season old or something.

The new episodes are on the outdoor channel and the old ones are on WFN I believe. It seems that way anyways.

You see that setup Zonas fishing in part 2 ??? Loomis NRX with a Metanuim MGL.1000 setup to throw cut r worms and ochos.


fishing user avatarFun4Me reply : 

Watched both episodes today. Hilarious. Those 2 guys are magic around each other. Not that they need it, but I would pitch in to cover the entry fee to have them fish in a team tournament and film it.

I hope Zona takes Ike up on his offer to be on an episode every year!
