Buzz Bryson has (frequently) been titled "the nicest man in fly-fishing," and you'll know why after hearing this interview. As the author of Fly Rod and Reel magazine's long-running (but tragically discontinued) "Ask Professor Buzz" column and a frequent contributor to that magazine, Buzz has had the opportunity to fish with some of fly-fishing's greats, and in some of fly-fishing's great places. This week he takes us to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with stories of one of the sport's most notorious tackle-busters: the false albacore.

Stay tuned for a special announcement following this week's show.
