Hosted by Pastor Eric Dykstra

Eric Dykstra has been passionate about fishing since he was seven, when his grandfather gave him his first cane pole and took him down to the farm pond in Iowa. Over the years he has become proficient at fishing for largemouth & smallmouth bass. Besides his love for Jesus, his wife & kids, it is his favorite thing in life. And he always says, “Remember, the disciples were fishermen. It’s the ONLY Biblical sport!”
