MARSH MAN MASSON: Quest for First Fish on Artificial Bait!

By Todd Masson

August 05, 2025

When Liam Dixon, 6, comes to my house, he perpetually follows me wherever I go, and all he wants to talk about is fishing. Being that he’s my grandson, and I also love talking about fishing, this makes me very happy.

Liam regularly catches bream on live worms and bass on live bream, but he’s never caught anything on artificial bait. To change that, Liam and I set out this week into the marshes of South Louisiana, and I promise you, the boy will never be the same.

Check out the video for all the details!
