Keep Fishing Never Stop – Jon B's Story | Lund Life
What started as Crappies on Cranks at his grandparents’ dock in 2009 turned into one of the most authentic fishing channels — and a full-time life on the water. Jon Barzacchini, aka Jon B, started filming his fishing adventures when he was 13 years old with a beat-up Casio camera and zero plan, today he inspires anglers with a YouTube channel that has almost 2 million subscribers.
In this episode of Lund Life, Jon pulls back the curtain on the journey: the early YouTube grind, building Googan Squad from the ground up, chasing 30+ species from Key West to New Brunswick, and why he’s always trusted aluminum over fiberglass when the water gets real. Whether he’s running 60 mph to a ledge bite on the Lund Pro-V Bass or slowing things down with his family on the Lund Explorer, Jon knows that the right boat doesn’t just get you to the fish — it gets you everywhere the fish may be.
