“Let’s Talk Hook-up” show co-host and creator Pete Gray has been involved in the fishing and radio industries for many years.  As an avid angler for more than thirty years, Pete has enjoyed his “hands-on” experience in fishing.

Pete’s involvement in the radio business spans more than a decade with ten years as Sales Manager for KKOS/KCEO radio in Carlsbad/San Diego, California.  Combining his enthusiasm for fishing with his radio expertise, he started “Let’s Talk Hook-up” five years ago, which grew rapidly into a full-time career.

“Let’s Talk Hook-up” is broadcast every Saturday and Sunday on Southern California’s number one sports station, the 50,000-watt Mighty 1090. “Let’s Talk Hook-up” is now the most successful fishing show ever broadcast in Southern California.  As a result of a survey of hundreds of fishermen who showed an overwhelming interest in a fishing talk show with an expanded format covering the entire Western United States, the syndicated fishing talk show “Lets Talk Fishing” was created.  Pete started “Let’s Talk Fishing” on August 15, 1993. 

Co-Host Rick Maxa has been a part of Let’s Talk Hook-up since he was 14 years old. Rick screened the calls for the show for several years, then began to co-host with Marty when Pete was gone.  When Marty Milner retired, Rick was hired to be the full time co-host. Rick also works for Western Outdoor News as a sales representative and spends most of his left over free time fishing or riding dirt bikes in the desert.
