In this heartfelt and introspective episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes professional wrestler The Beastman (Wes Fetty) for a raw and inspiring conversation. Stepping beyond the ring, Wes opens up about his personal journey, from his childhood in West Virginia to overcoming adversity and carving his own path in the world of professional wrestling.

He shares powerful insights about growing up without a father, the struggles of being raised by a hardworking single mother, and the emotional scars left by domestic violence. Wes discusses how wrestling became his escape, his passion for collecting wrestling memorabilia, and the importance of embracing solitude.

Beyond the chaos of the squared circle, Wes also reveals his life outside wrestling—his day job as a driver and trainer, his love for Miami Dolphins football, and his deep appreciation for historical sites on wrestling road trips. This episode is a must-listen for wrestling fans and anyone navigating personal challenges.
