Zona's Awesome Fishing Show
Producing one of bass fishing's most entertaining personalities — on the water, on camera, and on his own terms.
Mark Zona is one of the most recognizable faces in bass fishing — a host, analyst, and on-water personality whose enthusiasm for the sport is matched only by his ability to make it compelling television. JM Associates produces Zona's Awesome Fishing Show, bringing the same broadcast-quality production that has defined outdoor sports television for five decades to Zona's distinctive brand of fishing content.
Zona's Awesome Fishing Show follows Mark Zona across the country's best bass fisheries — chasing big fish, big personalities, and the kind of moments that remind you why fishing makes great television.
The show is built around what Zona does best: connecting with people on the water. Each episode puts him in front of a camera with the right guest on the right lake at the right moment, and JM's production team is there to capture it all — from the first cast to the final weigh-in — with the professionalism the audience expects and the flexibility a personality-driven format demands.
JM's Role in the Production
JM Associates handles the full production pipeline for Zona's Awesome Fishing Show — from field production and on-location camera work to post-production, editing, and final delivery. The same crew and infrastructure that has powered live Bassmaster broadcasts and national network productions backs every episode of the series.
That depth of experience matters when you're producing a show built on spontaneity. Fishing doesn't follow a script, and the best moments on the water happen fast. JM's crews know how to anticipate the action, frame the story, and get the most out of every hour on location — so that when Zona makes the catch or lands the punchline, the camera is already there.
The Production
Built for Personality-Driven TV
Zona's show lives and dies on authenticity — real fishing, real reactions, real conversation. JM's production approach keeps the crew invisible and the talent front and center, delivering content that feels as natural as it looks polished.
Field Production
Multi-camera on-location shoots across the country's premier bass fisheries, capturing the fishing action, host segments, and guest interactions that define each episode.
Post-Production
Full editing, color, audio mix, and graphics finishing at JM's Little Rock facility — delivering broadcast-ready episodes on schedule, every season.
Digital & Distribution
Episode packaging and delivery optimized for the platforms where Zona's audience lives — from broadcast and cable to YouTube and streaming.
