WEBVTT - Ep. 87: Grande Cheese Curd Nymphs

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>So you've never eaten enough cheese kurds, where like you

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>can't have a bow movement for days, just like days

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>on end they say you need all sorts of vice

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>for bass. But I could give a ratsass about what

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>people say. This is not the right use of ironically.

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It's coincidental. There would be ironic if it were found

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>at a school for the visually gifted. I don't even

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>really know how to start this. Um, I'm a little sad.

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, degenerate anglers, and welcome to Bent the Fishing Podcast.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>It's about to tell you something you're not gonna love.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Joe SURMELI where's my co host Samack? And I

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>mean in samac and uh yeah, man, just get it

0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>over with. Yeah, so value degenerates. This is going to

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>be the second too last Bent episode. Hate to have

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to deliver that news, but that's what's up. Tell everybody,

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>why Joe, Because I am moving to New Zealand to

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>frolic in the Emerald Hills with Mr Miles Nolte. No,

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding, I am. However, do you know I

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>have him saved in my phone like that? Yeah? You should?

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I call him that all the time. I'm just kidding

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>about a New Zealand no thanks to that. But I am, however,

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>leaving meat Eater made that call. And it has been

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>an incredible two years here working with some really amazing people.

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And while it's bent truthfully that I will miss the most,

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I just I cannot take it with me as I

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>fire up the sputtering two Stroke and shove off for

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the next adventure. So here we are. Well, you know,

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>here's to hoping that two Stroke turns over on its

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>first trial. Won't will here will the metaphorical two stroke will?

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>All good things must come to an end, man? Yeah? Yeah,

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.200

<v Speaker 1>But I didn't. I didn't want this to be abrupt.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to kind of ease into it, um. And

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.680

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm treating this like a New Orleans funeral. Okay, it's

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>a celebration of life, not death, you know, even though

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.039

<v Speaker 1>And I said I said this before, I will say

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>it again. UM. I mean you shined in the role

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>as as taking over news um after Miles left and

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>developed into this you know, I mean, you have the

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>listeners to thank for you being here. As much as me,

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because I heard nothing but positive things and saying, hey,

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that's your guy. Um, you know and and uh, I

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>think I think think we're gonna hear you somewhere again

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>at some point, you know what I mean, Like you've

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>done a great job at this but right, tired of

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the sadness for a second. You are still coming out

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>here this spring, and I we have we have plans

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>to fish together. I mean, you can't get COVID a

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>second time, right, so I'm assuming this time apparently you can.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Just for the record, I'm assuming this time the plan

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>will hold um and we'll do a little striper smally,

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Shaddon cats combo um, one of those. I'm I'm sure

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>one of those fish will become your new favorite. I mean,

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>catfish were my favorite. I've caught some stripers, I've caught

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>some smally, but you have to catch a shot. So

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>perhaps there you go, and if it works out how

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm planning, you'll be able to feed yourself for a

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>month on the hall. Maybe I'll even give your broken

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>some new gear while you're out here, right, I will

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>cast some things you're driving so you could fill up

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the shagging wagon. You know what, I mean, that's that's true.

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm very much looking forward to it. Listeners won't believe this, man,

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but but Joe and I have never actually

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>met in person. Yeah, I can't actually swear he's a

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>real human like I don't really Joe is just the

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>friendly but kind of grumpy man that lives in my computer. Yeah, yeah,

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>that that is true. Um. Anyway, look, the important thing

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>right now is that Bent is not done yet. Damn it.

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>This is not our last show. So with that in mind,

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>let's let's get back down to what we do best.

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Because um, let's just say next week's closer is gonna

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>be laid out a little different than normal, right, So

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna cut into our covering water segment here, which

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>we have not done in a while, and that's our

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>rapid fire Q and A segment. And this is a

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>fitting one because part of the reason that I wanted

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you on the show is because we have so much

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>background in common. Like we both have musical backgrounds, were

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>both from the East. Uh, different tastes in music perhaps,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>but similar backgrounds. Nonetheless, you know, yes, we've we've actually

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>got one of the fellas from bon Ivor or bone

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Verre oncovering Water today and uh, it's our it's our buddy.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>He goes by s Carry that's name of his solo project.

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>About that you talked about his new album, and uh

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and we got like this email that you know, having

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>had a music career, I immediately recognized as a publicist email,

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>but like all good publicist emails, it was attention grabbing. Uh,

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>straight from the jump. I read it and I was like,

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Joe, we ought to have this dude

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>on and a little bit of a little bit of convincing. Yeah,

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>partially it was like, dude, like, I'm out of here anyway,

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>just get whoever you want. Okay, we'll take I'm just kidding.

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding, but I I will say this by now.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>You guys know, I hope that I'm like the punk metal,

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>hardcore guy, like that's my deal, That's that's just my jam.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>But my wife, who does not like punk metal and

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>hardcore music, was very impressed. And we have extremely different

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>tastes in music. So while I was curious to talk

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to Sean, her excitement told me that this this may

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>not be my new head bang Onto the Way to

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the River band. I'm going in I can hold it. No,

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm all right. So joining us for covering water today

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>is Sean Kerry, whom you may be familiar with through

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>his work for a little act called Bony There. Sean,

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks for joining us, man, no problem, Thanks so much

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>for having me, Sean. Can I can? I ask? Because

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm certainly aware of the band, although I'm a little

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>bit more of like a chug a chug a misfits

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of every time I think, what what does that

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>name mean? Can you translate that for the listeners? Is

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>there something behind that? It means good winter? Um? When

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>justin the main dude came up with the name, he

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>just didn't know that winter was spelled with an H

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in French. Got it? So he yeah, he signed a

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>letter to his friend, um, good winter and just it

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>looks looks like bon effort, but it's actually BONI I

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say, does it get obnoxious with people? Just

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 1>like saying bon Iver? Like? Is I like, I imagine

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you get that? No, I'm him into all the pronunciations. Well, dude,

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I was joking with somebody today. I was like, you

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>know what, I've been screwing that name up for like

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>ten years and this is like the first time that

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it's actually mattered at all. Um. But moving off, how

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>how did you get how how do you end up

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>get involved in that project? Oh? Man? I UM. I

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>actually approached Justin at his first gig as Boni be

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>um and we sort of knew each other, um from

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the music scene, but I was a little bit younger,

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and I just I learned like all of his songs

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>um when they were posted on my Space. If you

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>can remember that, Wow, I remember my song very well. Yeah,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>um and yeah, I just like I was in music

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>school at the time, so I just took like a

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>studious approach to learning all of his tunes and he

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was kind of blown away by that. And we've been

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>playing ever since. Very cool, very cool. So you also, um,

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you you have a solo project in the words right

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>as carry tell us a little bit about that. Yeah,

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>as Carrie started um kind of after the first bony

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Very tour. I was so inspired to do my own

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 1>thing and um, write my own songs and just kind

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of riding that wave. And so I started that project

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 1>project and I've been done four full length records, the

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>fourth ones coming out next month. Awesome, awesome, So okay, listeners.

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>You you probably know his music on in in one

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>capacity or another. And while I'd like to sit here

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and talk music all day long, what you might not

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>know is that Sean is also a very dedicated angler

0:10:55.320 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>based no Claire, Wisconsin man like outdoorsman musician crossover is

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>something I relate to, and it's pretty unique and more

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>common than a lot of folks might think. Right off

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the top of my head, I think of our pal, uh,

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Dave Ceminett from Trampled by Turtles. Musicians seemed to be

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 1>drawn to fly fishing for whatever reason, Like it's a

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a thing. How do you end up

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>getting into fly fishing and what draws you to it?

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I think a Ted Nugent, by the way, I think

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Ted Nugent's a fly fish man. I think Uncle Ted's

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty much just running and gunning out in Texas. I'm

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>just saying, how are you gonna talk about musician? How

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 1>door has been crossovers without talking about tedw a lot

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>of musical similarities to Yeah, um, yeah, I mean I

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>grew up fishing, uh, And then when I moved to

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Claire for college, I met this guy named Ben Lester

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and we were both percussionists, and he was an avid

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>fly angler, so we started fishing together and you know,

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>by the end of that first summer fishing with him,

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I completely switched over to uh to fly and it's yeah,

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't looked back since. So one thing I'm always

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>curious about Sean, like when whenever I get to talk

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to a touring musician in particular, is your schedule just

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>too busy to to squeeze any of that in on

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the road, Because I always wonder, like you travel in

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the country, you have to end up in some places

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>they would have some pretty damn good fishing, Like is

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>there is there a sixth weight like stashed on the

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>tour bus kind of deal. You know, I have fished

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>on tour before and I need to like make it

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>more of a priority. But uh, yeah, we're we're talking

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>about um because there's now there's a few of us

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in the crew that that do it. So we're yeah,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>we're definitely gonna have a little a little road case

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that just goes with us. But yeah, I've been able

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to Um, we did we did a house show tour

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>with s carry. Um. We did three of them. Actually

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>this was a few back, but we kind of like

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>planned them around um fishing destinations or you know, we

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>took like three days off between UM SOLTI in Denver

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and just fished our way. Um. Oh, that's a good

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>strip if you're gonna yeah, if you have right there.

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>So we did that in a couple of places, and

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, brought out all our camping and cooking gear

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't feel like tour. It felt like a

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>fishing trip where we had to play shows at night.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>So well, that's a pretty damn good fishing trip, man,

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>because like all there is normally to do at night

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is like drink beer and eat mountain house anyhow, So, Sean,

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>in this segment, we like to kind of get into

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the minds of our guests via some rapid fire Q

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>and A yeah, it's it's uh. We always like to

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>say it's like a it's sort of an interview, except

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't really have any time to think about your

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>answers to our questions. We're just gonna what we do

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>is we're just gonna throw two minutes on the clock

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and we're just gonna rapid fire some questions at you

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and then what we'll do though at the end, we

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>promise is give you one minute to elaborate on any

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of your answers. So the idea is you just just

0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of spit them out and then you can elaborate

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>on not anyone that as we always say, like whatever

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the career ender was, whatever was like ship, I shouldn't

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>have said that, that's the one you can elaborate on.

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I love it sounds like a good deal. Yeah, let's

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>do it all right. Uh, two minutes on the clock

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>A career ender, Uh Okay. Money is not a factor

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.400

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you and I ever played in Philly. Hayden. I think

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we can kind of leave it out. No, we know

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>for scary we played pretty small room. I think it's

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>part of the World Cafe. Okay and Joe I have

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:10.160

<v Speaker 1>scary picks um on Instagram and uh I'm on Twitter

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, um. But yeah, and then music will

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>be on all the streaming platforms and yeah, buy a

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 1>record if you like that too. Yeah yeah alright man. Well, hey,

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for coming on. I'm really looking

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 1>forward to the album. I wish you all the best

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>on your tour and uh, all all the fishing excursions

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>bound to be thrown in there. Um yeah, man, thanks again,

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys, fan of what you do in the

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>mediator community in general, so thank you. Thanks man. So, yeah, degenerates,

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:57.880
<v Speaker 1>check that out. I think you should check that out. Um.

0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.959
<v Speaker 1>But like, how are you gonna not know Bond Scott

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Like that was a slate, that was a slight red flag.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Look look see man, this is where I disagree with you.

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Like you have factions of you know, when we're talking

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>about classic rocky of like factions, and I sort of

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 1>put a C d C in with like Alice Cooper Kiss,

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, acts like that. I would never consider them

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>in the same arena as like Cream or Hendrix or

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>The Doors. Um, and I don't like a C d

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>C very much, completely honest. You know, I don't care

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't like Leonard Skinner. I don't like Leonard SKINNERD haven't.

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah I would. I would put like a CDC

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>almost in with anyway. Um then again, my classic preferences

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>are more uh like t Rex Bowie, like I like

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 1>that glam shit. Then uh then like I don't know,

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, etcetera, etcetera. Um, all this is said,

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I think you got like a little too hung up

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>on the bomb. Well, it was kind of a joke.

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I was also going to throw in the question Bono

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 1>or Bonzo, but then I didn't. Although I don't know,

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Sean seemed like a fun guy, like he was having

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>a good time. I probably I like that, dude. I

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 1>just think it's funny that it's bony there, and like,

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, everybody who reads just like bon Iver, Like

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I said to you, like who we han't on the

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>bon bon Iver? Is that a guy You're like? No, Well,

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I forget if it made it to

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the actual interview, but I was like, you know, I've

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>been calling you got like you know, bon Iver, Bony

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>they like da da da da for like years and

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I haven't really ever dedicated myself to learning the correct

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>pronunciation of it, and like this is the first time

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>that has ever kind of mattered a little bit. He

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 1>was a sport though. He was good. It was and

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.879
<v Speaker 1>you guys know I'm not gonna pronouncing stuff. Uh, you know,

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was a good sport and uh it

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was a good time. And you know what else would

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.440
<v Speaker 1>be a good times that beating your ass one last

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>time in the final showdown, we call fish news. Fish News.

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>That escalated quickly. So you know, we've used the front

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of News for a year and a half to sort

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of be our I don't know, our shout out kind

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of that this is our spot to to shout out

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>listeners and shout out fans, and uh, I think it's

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 1>only fitting that that we use this space this time

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>as a huge thank you directly to all the listeners.

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>And we have one show left and we're gonna thank

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you a whole bunch more than um. But yeah, I mean,

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I I sort of I just feel the need to

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to just take this this moment right before news to

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to just thank you guys so much for listening. To

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>news because sometimes news is a ship show. Like let's

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>just be honest, right Like in terms of making the podcast. Okay,

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.920
<v Speaker 1>news is important, I get it, and we like to

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>keep you up to date on things. Um, but yeah,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like it can be a little grindy at times, and

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:45.200
<v Speaker 1>um sometimes we're long winded. Sometimes we say dumb ship

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and you're probably thinking, why would you even flag that

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 1>as a story because not much was exactly Sometimes things

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>just aren't happening and fishing. But I also want to

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>thank everybody, uh, you know for listening and powering through

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>with uh you know, I mean sometimes why we figured

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 1>new ship out man, sometimes why we tested new things,

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>why we try new things, and uh and always offering

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 1>your feedback on either like a follow up to the

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:15.160
<v Speaker 1>news story, a correction to the news store We've heard.

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>We appreciated that. One of the best parts of this

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>make no mistake was was incorporating you guys and hearing

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>from you guys. And we certainly hope, at least I

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>do that I keep hearing from you no matter what

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the future brings. You know what I mean, you guys

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>know where to reach us on the grams and uh yeah,

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we embraced every correction and every mispronunciation

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and tried to give you guys as kids. I don't know,

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe more so do you, um you know, but yeah,

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna miss people messaging. We go and come get

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 1>your boy. He's over here doing some weird shittya. But yeah,

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 1>like you you guys, you guys made bent what it

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>was and it's it is said that this is the

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>final news. But also I'm like, man, I don't have

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to think of any news next week. Like there's a

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit of like damn, you know, I'm not gonna lie.

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.439
<v Speaker 1>There's a little relief there for sure, But you know what,

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 1>we gotta finish where we started. And you started this

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.159
<v Speaker 1>whole conservation minutes thing, so we to the to the

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>last one. We are sticking to it. We're not gonna

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:22.919
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna scrimp. So before we get into it,

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:26.160
<v Speaker 1>here's my conservation minute, right. The Center for Biological Diversity

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>filed a legal petition seeking Endangered Species Act protection for

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the rough head shiner. This is in Virginia and olive

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>colored minnow found only in the Upper James River watership. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah,

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 1>you hang one under under bober it's gone, uh yeah.

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>And there're three inch fish name for the bumps on

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 1>their heads, um and they live mainly in the cow

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Pasture River and its tributary creeks in Allegheny, Bath, and

0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Craig Counties. UM. And there's a quote in here from

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Tiara Curry, a senior scientist at the Center. She says

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the rough head Shiner is an emblem of the quiet

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>extinction crisis unfolding in our nation's rivers. Endangered Species Act

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Protection will bring a recovery plan to pull it back

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 1>from the brink. The shiner was first identified as threatened

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty years ago and was put on a waiting list

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 1>for federal protection. The state of Virginia has identified it

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.199
<v Speaker 1>as a species of critical concern, but doesn't have the

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>necessary funding for monitoring or restoration. Final quote here, people

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 1>ask why save one little fish when there are so

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>many other kinds? But it's like march madness, Curry says,

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 1>How boring would it be without all of the different teams?

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>She says, the rough head Shiner is like St. Peter's

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>finally getting its day in the sun. I thought that

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was cute. That is not at all what that's like anyhow,

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 1>onto my conservation minute uh per Lake County News dot com.

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>California Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton H. Bonhom

0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>has assessed entanglement risk under the Risk Assessment Mitigation Program.

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise an in his ramp and announced the closure of

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the commercial dungeness crab fishery in fishing zones three, four

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 1>or five and six. Uh. God, I knew there was

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna be something I couldn't pronounce here. Uh that's uh,

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Sonoma and Mendocino County line Mendocino you think, Okay, Mendocino

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 1>County line to the US Mexico border, effective at noon

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>on April eighth two. Basically, whales can't avoid this is

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 1>not the quote. Uh. Basically whales can't avoid crab pot lines.

0:26:33.960 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>So the season is being closed to up less whales.

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh and we we we actually cover this before when

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it came to alternative devices to avoid uh, the rope

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the ropeless lobster pots. Right. So I guess the entirety

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>of the commercial crab lobster fishing industry didn't hear my

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>story and immediately change their tune. Weird? Well, they should,

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they should, They should pipe up it's now We're never

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:58.679
<v Speaker 1>crabbing lobster industry, even though those pots are like hundreds

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of dollars. Anyway, look to the bitter end,

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this is a competition. We do not know which story

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the other guy is bringing this week. That is the truth.

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And I mean this is gonna be one final legendary

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>way in from Phil though. I think if Phil is available,

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna hear some some fresh fill, some

0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.919
<v Speaker 1>live film maybe in our final show. But this is

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the official last news weigh in. I just cannot wait

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to see what he cooked up. And it's my lead,

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 1>which is fitting. Um, it's last one. It is my lead.

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 1>So you know, over the course of Bent, we have

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>rolled our eyes kind of at fish record stories. Right,

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>We've done them time to time when appropriate, and as

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we've know else, I was gonna say, as we already noted,

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we just couldn't find anything better that week, right,

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think the Mighty Phil even once famously said

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>he will not give a win to record stories anymore

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>because there was a period when man, they were just

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.399
<v Speaker 1>like just flying out the mouth. Um, so how fitting

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.119
<v Speaker 1>that I close with a record story of sorts. But

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not about a specific record or fish, but records

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 1>in general. And damn it, I'm doing this to ensure

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that you walk away from my final news filing with

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:14.359
<v Speaker 1>information that you can use to better yourself on the water.

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>That is, that is the damn bent seal of approval

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>as we walk out the door. So this story comes

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 1>to us from the story, right exactly, that's fine, that's

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 1>fine anyway. So this comes from the Duluth News Tribune,

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's about data collected by the Lure Love podcast.

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And what they've done is compiled the most detailed list

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of record setting lures I've ever seen. Now, this, mind you,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty painstaking process because my understanding, Joe is

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to line up going to the Lure Love podcast.

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>That's where you're gonna hear Joe next. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's yeah, That's that's where I'm headed, Guys, the

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Loure Love podcast. Lure Love, Joe's from Elly. Now, don't

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:00.959
<v Speaker 1>make fun of those guys. Let's into what they did, right,

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm so not making fun of you. Okay, Well, that's

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that's fine. You can do that for forever. Um. So,

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this is a painstaking process because, as I understand it.

0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>While the International Game Fish Association keeps the records, the

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>things that caught each fish are not set up in

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a database that can be searched or ranked by bait,

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>fly or lore, which means whoever runs that podcast did

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this ship manually. Here's a quote from the story. The

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>folks at lore Love podcast looked at nineteen thousand, six

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred records for one thousand, six hundred forty nine species

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of fresh and saltwater fish, including six thousand, seven fourteen

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>current record holders and twelve thousand, ninety six retired record

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>fish that once held the record but have since been beaten. Now,

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the caveat here is that there are no requirements for

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the level of detail, and angler has to provide the

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>i g f A when he or she submits a catch. So,

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>as the story notes, some records simply say lure in

0:30:01.600 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the space on the forum for what caught the fish.

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So the fellows at lore Love collected all this data,

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>factored in some of these vague entries, did a little

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>scratch math, and they came up with a few different lists.

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>One was records per lure style, the other was by

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>specific lure brand. So we're gonna add just for sheets,

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a little touch of trivia here and fishing caught all

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of that. Can you guess which lure style has claimed

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the most world record fish? Folks at home, take a

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>second to think about your answer. This is just a style,

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 1>not a specific lord, just a a category of lure.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Am I supposed to guess? Now? Yes, stick bates incorrect.

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The correct answer is jig now of course, uh. Since

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>jig was such a common answer, it's almost impossible to

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>break jigs out into further categories. But to me, I

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>don't really believe that matters all that much, because in

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 1>my mind, it's just proof that the action of a

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>jig is hard to beat, and it doesn't really matter

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 1>what kind of jig we're talking about. A hair jig, right,

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is pretty much doing the same thing in the water

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>for walleyes as a bucktail jig is doing for stripers,

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>as a flair hawk is doing for snook as a

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 1>jig and pig is doing for bass. It's the same

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>basic action in the same basic designs. So per the

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 1>findings these guys findings, jigs of some sort a jig

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>has claimed one thousand, one five world record fish. So

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>next question any guests at the second most record catching

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>lore style spoon. That is correct, spoon spoon is the

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 1>number two. But here's what's fascinating. Jigs caught one thousand,

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 1>one five world record fish. Take a swing at the

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>total number of record fish. The number two spoon has

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>caught two seven very close two hundred and eleven, so

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>that that is a staggering difference right between the number

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>one and number two slots for the most world record

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 1>catching this lure um. The number three spot is held

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>by plastic Worms slash grubs with one world records, followed

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 1>by Plugs in the number four spot with a hundred

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and seventy seven world records. Now, as I mentioned, the

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>lure Love team also took the liberty God bless him

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of breaking down the count by brand, and the number

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 1>one slot by brand should be no surprise. But let's

0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>see how good you are. Which lower brand holds more

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>world records than any other Hashimoto concepts? Uh uh no,

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>The answer is Rapela with a total of four nine

0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>world records. And it's it's I said before that Plugs

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>only caught one and seventy seven world records. But Plugs

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>before because I did say that before absolutely I absolutely did,

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>followed by plugs in the number four spot with a

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy seven world records, but plugs in the

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 1>other category and the other bracket did not encompass crank baits,

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 1>top orders and jerk baits. They were all ranked separately,

0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 1>So those four nine records for Rappola are across all categories.

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Rappla plays in not just the original rapple of floater.

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>UH number two brand any guesses? God, you're such a

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>nerd man. I'm done with this, um number two brand?

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Um No, I don't have a guess. MAPS takes the

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:46.960
<v Speaker 1>number two spot with world records, but interestingly, inline spinners

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>account for only one world records total, So if nine

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 1>of them belong to MAPS, good for you, MEPs, way

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to slack off their Panther Martin where you at. Panther

0:33:56.840 --> 0:34:00.080
<v Speaker 1>has only ever claimed seventeen world records total. Um how

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>many of the Swiss wing I E I'd have to

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>go back to the listening hold on a second, how

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 1>many in line spinner records were there? So, according to

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 1>their findings, there are one hundred and ten world record

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>fish that have been caught on inline spinners, and then

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>according to their brand findings. Of those ten were on

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 1>maps spinners and how many were on the other one,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Panther Martin It well, it says seventeen. But keep in

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 1>mind they don't just make inline spinners. That could be

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a Panther Martin vivif or you know some of the

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:34.080
<v Speaker 1>soft plastic stuff they make, so it's it's not necessarily

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>broken down that way. Welcome to gotcha journalism, folks. Yeah, um,

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:43.800
<v Speaker 1>now I found this fascinating. The number three spot goes

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 1>to yo Zuri, which is fascinating because compared to other

0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>brands on that list, it really hasn't been around all

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that long, so that says something about yo Zuri. Um,

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it far out ranks brands like Cordell, Rebel and Rooster Tail.

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's it. And props to the lower Love podcast

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 1>is for doing all that painstaking work so somebody else

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like me or Hayden didn't have to. Um and as

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 1>you are, you brought up thirteen. I'm going to make

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it my personal mission to get a thirteen more ranked

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>world record rock bass on a poppy pop face tune

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in this summer. Watch it happen live, Well, Joe, what

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.319
<v Speaker 1>a what a wonderful. Uh you know, I did this

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of the same thing that Shark Trivia, the Hayden

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Shark a Shark Attack Trivia Challenge quiz show, Hayden's Jaws

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Pop Quiz Retribution Shark and Shark Attack Trivia Challenge Quiz Show.

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:57.319
<v Speaker 1>So your poem I didn't keep RELI yeah. Yeah. As

0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.439
<v Speaker 1>soon as that was done, I was like, it's time

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:51.720
<v Speaker 1>fish News, I actually did a real story. We're covering something,

0:36:55.080 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Um, we're covering something super heavy and catastrophe. Unfortunately,

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>uh not just kidding. We're gonna end it on a

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty neutral note. Here with the story courtesy of shoal

0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in the Guardian and that's uh, that's two publications, SHOAL

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and The Guardian. Uh not a maritime themed in the

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 1>rock band anyway. Uh. SHOAL has just released there are

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>one guide of newly discovered species. The document details of

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>discovery of two and twelve species of freshwater fish, with

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>notable entries given some extra love upfront. Basically, it's a

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 1>guide to eight or ten fish that are cool slash

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>do cool ship and then a list of a bunch

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 1>of other less cool fish. Um. We we've actually talked

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:41.399
<v Speaker 1>about this right by the way ahead. We've actually talked

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 1>about the SHOAL organization before. When when I highlighted the

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>discovery of a fish I could have pronounced in an

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.720
<v Speaker 1>area I also couldn't pronounced. I think it was somewhere

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in Turkey and I forget. I just remember that Miles

0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:54.799
<v Speaker 1>called me and gave me a bunch of ship over.

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, because you couldn't pronounce the Turkish president's name.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah whatever, still can't. SHOAL is an organization whose mission

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:04.799
<v Speaker 1>it is to discover, rediscover and document fresh water fish

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 1>is As far as I know, they're the single largest

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 1>organization highlighting the important but often overlook conservation issues surrounding

0:38:11.120 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 1>those fresh water fish. So I got the story from

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the Guardian. But rather than explicating the article, let's just

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 1>dive into what you guys really want to hear about

0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:21.439
<v Speaker 1>the cool fish at the top of the list. Let's

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:26.279
<v Speaker 1>start with this banger, the wolverine pleco. Love it. I

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:28.799
<v Speaker 1>just love the word pleco. Pleco is good. I've had

0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 1>some plecos and some tanks. Yeah, yeah, well there you go.

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So uh. Pleaco is an armored catfish, a popular aquarium fish,

0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>and in many cases, an extremely invasive species. In fact,

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure you you did a store on them

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.960
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. Texas. They're overrun with what they're around with

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.359
<v Speaker 1>them some bitches down there. You need some platos. Don't

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 1>go to pet Smart, go to Texas well. Enter the

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 1>wolverine pleco. Now, Joe, what is the primary defense mechanism

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>of a catfish, aside from being slippery and breaking leaders

0:38:57.040 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 1>right at the boat, all kinds of sharp, pointy spines

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and junk. Indeed, the spines. Like many other species of catfish,

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the wolverine pleco has spines, but unlike many species of catfish,

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the arm replecco has these kind of like spiny arm

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 1>projections right by its guilt plates, and it's actually able

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to thrust those at predators and I guess presumably pray

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe maximal thrust. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't say that in

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the report, but it sounds cool. Uh sorry science anyway. Uh,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that's where it gets its name after the X Men character,

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.319
<v Speaker 1>because of its ability to thrust its spines up its

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 1>little fish arms. It should also be noted that these

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>things up researchers so much that they included this quote

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:41.719
<v Speaker 1>we all had our fingers injured or bleeding by the

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 1>violence of them trying to pinch us with their big

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>lateral hooks on the head in the official report. Did

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you just make a salad fingers reference? No, no, I

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 1>said my fingers hurt, which is uh from everybody knows

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.160
<v Speaker 1>where that's from. It from Billy Madison. No, it's it's

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.560
<v Speaker 1>not from Happy Gilmore to Gilmore. That's why I don't

0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>deserve to be here, because I just confused Happy Gilmore

0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and Billy Madison. I'm I apologize so much, among other things. Anyway,

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So there was another notable find, and it came from India.

0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:16.400
<v Speaker 1>The Mumbai blind Eel a red eyelis demon snake fish.

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>While that in itself is kind of cool, the real

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>coincidence is where they found it. For the report, the

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.960
<v Speaker 1>eel was found quote somewhat ironically for a blind fish,

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a forty ft well on the premises of a school

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for the blind. Okay, And I'd like to point out

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that this is not the right use of ironically. It's coincidental.

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It would be ironic if it were found at a

0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>school for the visually gifted. That's terrific. There's a T

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:45.839
<v Speaker 1>shirt wrapped up in there somewhere anyway. Yeah. So, so

0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>finally we have a new species of trout found in

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Turkey Salmo bliki. Uh. First off, anytime there's like a

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>new trout discovered, I get a little bit excited because one,

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I like the fishery trout and of the time they're

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 1>like beautiful fish. This one looks like something halfway between,

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.680
<v Speaker 1>like a a bowl in brown trout with like dime

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 1>sized orange spots, Like have you ever seen like somebody

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>post a picture of a brown with like those crazy

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 1>big like ten twenty scale like orange like you know, yeah,

0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:20.800
<v Speaker 1>just yeah. It sounds like somebody is already there filming

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 1>it for the fly Fishing film tours, so we'll see

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.359
<v Speaker 1>it next season. Yeah. Well that said, Um, this very

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty fish is in a serious peril because by the

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.440
<v Speaker 1>time researchers discovered it and recognized it as a separate species,

0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it already become the victim of ghost fishing. Ghost fishing,

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.680
<v Speaker 1>which sounds like what you'd call texting a potential love

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>interest a picture of someone else and then ignoring them

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:44.120
<v Speaker 1>forever once they respond. Uh. As far as I could tell,

0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just a weird way of saying poaching. Um. Although

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 1>there are strict rules in place to protect trout in

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 1>this region, they're often flat out ignored, and the ruralness

0:41:54.000 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of the areas in which they're found make regulations basically unenforceable. Anyway. Um,

0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that is that's my wrap on fish News. Buddy, Well,

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>best of luck to the Salmo Biliki. I think they're

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:09.480
<v Speaker 1>having the same problems as the timing that everybody loves.

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 1>They're out there so remotely that you just can't police

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 1>near we are we are we ending fish News with

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe mispronouncing something. Is it Tayman or tim In? I

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 1>think Floyd outside of the podcast studio I ask him

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that was That was a very fun ending to Fish News.

0:42:35.120 --> 0:42:37.319
<v Speaker 1>That was a good time, and we like to keep

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the good times rolling here. So this is it. I've

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:41.399
<v Speaker 1>spent a year and a half trying to figure out

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>what the hell Phil wants? Phil? What do you want?

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>What was the actual secret to winning? Can you let

0:42:47.280 --> 0:42:49.319
<v Speaker 1>us know? What do you want? Phil? What did you

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:51.720
<v Speaker 1>want from us? This whole time? I just can't handle

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the pressure, happy man. So we're gonna We're gonna hear

0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 1>from old Phil one more time and then UM, because

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>because I think we all needed and because it's calming

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and soothing, We've got one more sage Lee Wisdom with

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the very real river Horse lined up, UM and I

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a perfect closer from river Horse,

0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as

0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I did Chester Tayman or Timon. I don't even really

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>know how to start this. Um. I'm a little sad,

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, and I'm sure everyone listening is to Uh.

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>When I came into this recording that I'm doing right now,

0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Okay, it's the last fish News. How do

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I tap myself? Do I kill myself again but actually

0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 1>stay dead? Do I tell another story about a cracking?

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 1>But this time, make it twenty minutes long instead of

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:51.440
<v Speaker 1>just ten like last time. I don't know, but I thought, no, no, no,

0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna do any of that, No pomp and circumstance,

0:43:53.880 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing special. This is about you, Joe and Hayden, not me.

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to answer your quest. And Joe, what

0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.319

0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of these fish news segments? What did I want? Well,

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:33.279
<v Speaker 1>it's easy. I want you to want me. I've all

<v Speaker 1>Thanks Joe and Hayden, we're all winners today. Whatsout? Hey? Now,

0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:52.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a river horse coming to you from the

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Deep South with some sagely wisdom. Today's story is all

0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:02.920
<v Speaker 1>about getting on a roll in this short, bleating, fragile,

0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and ever beautiful life. There will be some obligatory tides

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the good times All Hetty and sublime, the tough times,

0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the belly ups, the dust ups that may leave you

0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:19.600
<v Speaker 1>on the flat of your back, and sometimes even the

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:23.400
<v Speaker 1>first place take the trophy finishes far ahead of the

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 1>pretenders and all points in between. This is all par

0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:31.840
<v Speaker 1>for the course and how we learn to appreciate the

0:46:32.000 --> 0:46:36.760
<v Speaker 1>smallest moments for the sweet bounty they are. Life asks

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:39.480
<v Speaker 1>us to roll up our sleeves and go full bore,

0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>sleep in the dirt, and pay our dues to get

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to the magical moments out in wilderness, especially with fishing.

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:52.240
<v Speaker 1>This story is about unleashing it at a little city

0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:57.239
<v Speaker 1>park pond, absolutely laying it down baby, opening up a

0:46:57.400 --> 0:47:01.279
<v Speaker 1>supreme can of war bass with the quickly chosen fly.

0:47:02.000 --> 0:47:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's called L Grande, l Grande. I've gone cross.

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been riding for three days straight on deadline for

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a fourteen pager about Merle Haggard's former guitarist. The masses

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:23.279
<v Speaker 1>in Houston are no doubt going ape ship everywhere. For

0:47:23.440 --> 0:47:27.680
<v Speaker 1>today is the beginning of a long, sunny spring weekend,

0:47:28.560 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>so I make it a point to avoid places that

0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:35.239
<v Speaker 1>aren't far off the grid on the weekends. This afternoon

0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:39.319
<v Speaker 1>found me in the throes of wanton lust for bass.

0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Just one fish and I could start to put things

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:48.800
<v Speaker 1>together again. From golf courses to ranches, country clubs, lakes,

0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:54.880
<v Speaker 1>rivers behind mcmansion's and city park ponds. They are endless,

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:59.720
<v Speaker 1>corpulent Texas bass. Within minutes, with just a couple hours

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>to go until dark, I hit the closest run from

0:48:03.239 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bungalows front door and as expected, have to park

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the truck on the grass since it was packed to

0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the rafters. I don't bring much to easy local runs

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:18.160
<v Speaker 1>like these. A little seven ft three way with the

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:22.319
<v Speaker 1>sixteen pound leader and a handful of my favorite fly

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world, the Umpqua diving frog. Most of us

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:31.640
<v Speaker 1>all have a go to fly. This is mine. They

0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 1>say you need all sorts of flies for bass, but

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I could give a rats ass about what people say.

0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather probe top water and the weedy shallows and coves,

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:46.080
<v Speaker 1>then go subsurface, no matter what fish I might miss

0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 1>out on. Anything else is dredging to me. I'll admit it.

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I get off watching that little green frogs bit, hump

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and growl all the way home if the bite is

0:48:57.280 --> 0:49:01.799
<v Speaker 1>on all fish. If not, fine, I'll hang on the

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 1>banks and have a sandwich of beer and a nap.

0:49:06.360 --> 0:49:10.040
<v Speaker 1>This city park is small. It doesn't take more than

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:13.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes to work your way around it. I wedge

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in between the hordes of good old boys with bobbers

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and with only a couple of seconds. Damn if that

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:23.880
<v Speaker 1>frog pupper doesn't deliver the goods. I can attest that

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:28.200
<v Speaker 1>my fishing abilities are not really anything special. I put

0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in my time, But some days there's been plenty of

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:35.360
<v Speaker 1>brutal skunks, schoolings and tails between the legs all the

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:40.880
<v Speaker 1>way home drives. Not to day, I stopped six times

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:44.799
<v Speaker 1>and six sweetheart baths and nail the frog and go

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:49.200
<v Speaker 1>hay wire while the piste off glares come from all sides.

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:53.880
<v Speaker 1>There hadn't been any fish cut all day until now

0:49:54.360 --> 0:49:58.120
<v Speaker 1>when I showed up, and then six in a row.

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the final stretch of water, a fifty foot

0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:07.520
<v Speaker 1>cluster of reads, cattails and lily pads, without much room

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:11.640
<v Speaker 1>for a badcast. I lean up for one mast, go round,

0:50:11.760 --> 0:50:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's the swim frog lands. It goes down in

0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:19.840
<v Speaker 1>an implosive swirl on a three weight. You know, pretty

0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 1>damn quick when things are serious. Unable to high stick

0:50:23.840 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this one. The rod submerges a foot under the water,

0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and I just let him burrow and run. A giant

0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>crowd gathers behind me while all the other fishermen just

0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 1>stare with brownie faces. I finally dragged the enormous, fatass

0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:46.240
<v Speaker 1>bass to the bank, and I hear screams, shouts, howls,

0:50:46.320 --> 0:50:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and cheers from the rabbit gallery. El Grande, El Grande,

0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:57.920
<v Speaker 1>El Grande, Oh yes she is. Let's agree that fishing

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it is not always about fishing, and it's often brutally humbling.

0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Some days you get the chicken, other days just the feathers.

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:11.200
<v Speaker 1>But for those who say fishing is not about catching fish,

0:51:11.600 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>oh bullshit. I hold El Grande a law for all

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to sea. Feeling like I just shot the moon. The

0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:22.719
<v Speaker 1>throngs of kids are jumping up and down, hooting and

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:27.760
<v Speaker 1>pumping fists into the sky. Cell Phone cameras chirp away.

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I see the expectant characters with obscene cooking forks and hands,

0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and drool forming on their lips. As the smoke from

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:41.759
<v Speaker 1>all the barbecue grills and the park gently loats into

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the skies, El Grande is released with redemption on his lips.

0:51:47.880 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 1>The entire park goes utterably silent. And that's our sagely

0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 1>wisdom for this time, my brothers and sisters. And remember

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 1>never be afraid to let them go on to be

0:52:02.760 --> 0:52:06.440
<v Speaker 1>cut another day. If your table is already full of

0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:10.319
<v Speaker 1>goodness and your freezer, you'll reap the bounty and the

0:52:10.440 --> 0:52:15.239
<v Speaker 1>days ahead you just watch. Now, get out there and

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 1>find your own groove. I will see you along the path.

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So I couldn't think of a more fitting final stage

0:52:29.600 --> 0:52:32.840
<v Speaker 1>lee wisdom. I swear I did not have river Horse

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.680
<v Speaker 1>penn that around my departure. In fact, I didn't even

0:52:35.760 --> 0:52:37.839
<v Speaker 1>ask the guy for a new stage Lely wisdom like

0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:41.279
<v Speaker 1>the Venemo payment. No no, no, no, there's no dude.

0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Literally like this is how river Horse operates. I'll be

0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like falling asleep at midnight and all of

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, it's just like my my phone lights up

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's like ten new audio files from river Horse's

0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:54.640
<v Speaker 1>has to like cup your night a little bit. Man,

0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you're dripping off so peacefully and now it's like four

0:52:57.320 --> 0:53:00.759
<v Speaker 1>am and you're staring at the ceiling. Well, but he

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like one of those guys where it's like when

0:53:02.520 --> 0:53:05.879
<v Speaker 1>inspiration hits, he's going right now like you're gonna hear

0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:08.960
<v Speaker 1>his words right now. But I listen to that one

0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 1>when he said it, and I said, man, this just

0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:14.440
<v Speaker 1>works so much of what he said they're resonated with me,

0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:17.440
<v Speaker 1>particularly putting them back. If you're played is full. And

0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:20.719
<v Speaker 1>I hope I actually get to spend some time with

0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that guy someday. I would really love that. Did you

0:53:24.000 --> 0:53:25.640
<v Speaker 1>ever tell him about that note we got from that

0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.440
<v Speaker 1>one listener that said his voice makes his girlfriend to

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:32.319
<v Speaker 1>act and he's not sure if he likes it. I did.

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I did tell him that one fight for the last time.

0:53:35.480 --> 0:53:37.960
<v Speaker 1>What just as a reminder, River horses very real. People

0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 1>have been speculating that he's a made up character and

0:53:40.560 --> 0:53:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he is not. You need to follow him on the

0:53:42.200 --> 0:53:44.480
<v Speaker 1>gram and read his writing because he is one of

0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a kind. Anyway, Uh, you know, here's what we're gonna do.

0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna close out this week's show with the o

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:53.760
<v Speaker 1>G closer, the original closer, that being end of the line.

0:53:53.960 --> 0:53:56.359
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna skip the bent helpline here, but stick around

0:53:56.360 --> 0:53:59.719
<v Speaker 1>because we're gonna do a night fishing. Um. But this

0:53:59.800 --> 0:54:02.400
<v Speaker 1>was always one of my favorite segments to put together.

0:54:02.440 --> 0:54:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I've always loved the end of the line. But I'm

0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:07.920
<v Speaker 1>actually gonna let Hayden give us one final end of

0:54:07.920 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the line entry here because um, while I may have

0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 1>had more end of the lines over the last year

0:54:12.600 --> 0:54:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and a half, some of yours have been my favorites.

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:23.919
<v Speaker 1>So let's find out which fly you cannot live without. Well,

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not loud enough. Spring is finally starting to make

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.200
<v Speaker 1>its way out west, and that's great because I'm just

0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>about over fishing through through two ft of ice. In

0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the observation of a particularly beautiful afternoon, I recently decided

0:54:40.080 --> 0:54:42.279
<v Speaker 1>to get out and make a quick afterwork hit on

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:44.439
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite little streams just north of town.

0:54:45.160 --> 0:54:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I got to the water and I looked in my box.

0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I pretended to consider this fly and that fly, but

0:54:49.880 --> 0:54:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I knew what I'd end up tying on. And it's

0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a fly I've talked about here on the podcast often,

0:54:55.440 --> 0:54:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that faithful fishy size twelve tongue heads CDC soft tackle

0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 1>pheasant tail nymph with the orange hotspot. It's been my

0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:05.399
<v Speaker 1>go to for years and I think it always will be.

0:55:05.719 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Pheasant tails are my favorite nymphs period. You can keep

0:55:09.600 --> 0:55:14.120
<v Speaker 1>your Waltz worms, your Paradagon's your hair's here. I don't

0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:16.520
<v Speaker 1>know what it is about them, but man, those things

0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:19.879
<v Speaker 1>just fish. And sure my version of it is far

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:22.200
<v Speaker 1>from classic. I mean, it's tied on a jig hook,

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:25.800
<v Speaker 1>but the classic tie works beautifully as well. But what

0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is the classic tie when we're talking about a pheasant

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:32.160
<v Speaker 1>tail nymph? To answer that, we need to go all

0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the way back to the invention of the pheasant tail

0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:38.879
<v Speaker 1>and its inventor. Frank Sawyer was a was first river

0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 1>keeper on the Avon at Lake in Wiltshire, managing six

0:55:43.400 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 1>miles of river right by modern day Stingshouse. I know

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not really relevant to the story, but I think

0:55:49.000 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 1>it's funny that Sting owns that place now and I

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:54.600
<v Speaker 1>had to work that in there anyhow. Sawyer worked there

0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:57.719
<v Speaker 1>for about three years until moving on to the Officers

0:55:57.760 --> 0:56:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Fishing Association, which is now known as the Serve His

0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Dry Fly Fishing Association. The s d f f A

0:56:04.680 --> 0:56:07.440
<v Speaker 1>is a fishing club along the River Avon, and it's

0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:11.399
<v Speaker 1>open exclusively to active duty and retired military as well

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 1>as a very few number of civilians. Sawyer worked there

0:56:14.080 --> 0:56:16.960
<v Speaker 1>until his death. As a river keeper at the Services

0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Dry Fly Fishing Association UH Sawyer spent his life on

0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the water and eventually became known for not only his stewardship,

0:56:24.400 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but for his his sunken nymph fly patterns as well.

0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:32.000
<v Speaker 1>In he developed his most enduring of those patterns, the

0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:34.840
<v Speaker 1>pheasant tail nymph. The pheasant tail is considered one of

0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the oldest modern nymph patterns that we use today. The

0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:41.160
<v Speaker 1>original tying of the pheasant tail nymph is unique by

0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 1>today's standards for one main reason. It did not include

0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the use of thread. In fact, the original pheasant tail

0:56:47.560 --> 0:56:50.280
<v Speaker 1>only included fibers from the tail of a cock pheasant

0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and copper wire. After tying the pheasant tail, fibers in

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:56.959
<v Speaker 1>the wire and fibers would be twisted together before being

0:56:57.000 --> 0:56:59.239
<v Speaker 1>wound around the hook shank to form the body of

0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the nymph. Tying in this way achieved two things. It

0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:05.560
<v Speaker 1>created a durable body and a certain amount of flash

0:57:05.640 --> 0:57:08.920
<v Speaker 1>where the wire would peek out in between the fibers. Today,

0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:11.319
<v Speaker 1>we mostly fish a variant of the original pattern, the

0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:13.879
<v Speaker 1>most basic of which is only a small departure from

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Sawyers with the inclusion of a peacock hurl. Thorax I

0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:19.880
<v Speaker 1>like to fish a variant with soft tackle and a beadhead.

0:57:20.120 --> 0:57:23.000
<v Speaker 1>There are endless ways to modify the pattern, and no

0:57:23.040 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 1>matter where you go, you're likely to find some local

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:28.560
<v Speaker 1>variant that, for one reason or another, seems to outfish

0:57:28.600 --> 0:57:32.040
<v Speaker 1>all others. One thing I know is that Sawyer's inspired

0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:34.640
<v Speaker 1>pattern will forever be my go to, And no matter

0:57:34.680 --> 0:57:37.280
<v Speaker 1>where I'm fishing, when it comes to trout, You're more

0:57:37.320 --> 0:57:39.440
<v Speaker 1>likely than not to see a pheasant tail nymph on

0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of my line. So that's it for this week, degenerates.

0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:50.919
<v Speaker 1>We've got one week of bent left and we're gonna

0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:53.640
<v Speaker 1>close out doing a little reminiscing having some laughs. So

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:56.640

0:59:11.080 --> 0:59:13.800

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:17.320

0:59:17.440 --> 0:59:21.080
<v Speaker 1>next week. Yes, we're gonna go full on mystery science

0:59:21.120 --> 0:59:24.360

<v Speaker 1>am I am sorry that we are not going to

1:00:12.520 --> 1:00:17.120

1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>answer them all. I give zero ships right now. We

1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>can make this a whole another two hour podcast for

1:00:40.560 --> 1:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>all I care. All right, well let's try. Alright, so folks,

1:00:46.040 --> 1:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>well see where we go. Just go with the flow. Okay,

1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>So folks, welcome to Night Fishing. Um. This is the

1:00:51.080 --> 1:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>thing that we did once and now we'll have done twice.

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Um we're second times. It's charm. Yeah, we're gonna answer

1:00:58.520 --> 1:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>some of your most most pertinent questions. And because this

1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is the last ever installment of Night Fishing, I figured, uh,

1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, hell, we'll we'll see how many we can

1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>get to. So there is no time on the clock.

1:01:15.200 --> 1:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>We're just gonna kind of rip through as many as

1:01:17.720 --> 1:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we can and then uh yeah, I'll be it. So Joe,

1:01:22.080 --> 1:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna start with this one. This comes from and

1:01:25.080 --> 1:01:28.479
<v Speaker 1>all these resources on Instagram. This comes from Wally eight

1:01:28.640 --> 1:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>nine one. If you had one fish to fish for

1:01:31.560 --> 1:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of your life besides snakeheads and bourbon,

1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>which is I assume referencing our personal inclinations, what would

1:01:38.560 --> 1:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that fish be. Mine would be bourbon. Mine would be snakeheads.

1:01:42.960 --> 1:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>There you go, Wally, na, Uh, that's come up with

1:01:46.080 --> 1:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>me before you know. There is no one there. There's

1:01:48.960 --> 1:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>not like I can whittle it down to fresh and salt.

1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess it would be striped bass and wild browns.

1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Those are my two. Like if I if I really

1:01:56.120 --> 1:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>had to pick two stripers and wild browns for me, Ali, Yeah,

1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean like okay, so from like the sporting aspect

1:02:04.320 --> 1:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and like where they take me, I would have to

1:02:07.440 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>go for just like trout, you know, maybe even cut throats,

1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>just because I think they're cool and they live in

1:02:13.040 --> 1:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>beautiful places and I don't know, there's like a certain

1:02:17.280 --> 1:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>like poetic element to uh to trout fishing. If I

1:02:20.800 --> 1:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>were to go for like something that I really want

1:02:22.520 --> 1:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to eat a lot um you know, probably like tuna,

1:02:25.760 --> 1:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>something like that, some some good, some like sashimi. Well yeah,

1:02:29.640 --> 1:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I could. I could answer that question, like,

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>if I had to pick one, it would be tuna.

1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>But I ain't got that kind of money, Wally, Tuna

1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>is expensive, you know what I mean? Was a financial

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>constraint on it? All right? So well then I just

1:02:40.120 --> 1:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>pop tuna like endless summer all, you know, all summer

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>long in the Northeast, and then I'd go to Australia.

1:02:45.040 --> 1:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's when I would go there. You go, all right,

1:02:47.280 --> 1:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>So Joe, if the format of these, I'm just gonna

1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>keep pitching them to you. You lead off off all

1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you Uh. This one comes from Derek the fancy caveman

1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>who asks been to Manitoba? Are you hunting the spring

1:02:58.400 --> 1:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>any bear plans? No, No, and no I've not been

1:03:03.520 --> 1:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to Manitoba. I'd like to. I'd like to go to

1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>bc BC people you have been riding me on that

1:03:08.280 --> 1:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I have. I have never found my way to British Columbia.

1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I've done Saskatchewan way up north and it was one

1:03:14.320 --> 1:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of the coolest, top five coolest trips I've ever been on.

1:03:17.880 --> 1:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>In my life. That was a pike trip. Am I

1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>hunting the spring? No? Any bear plans, no, believe it

1:03:22.880 --> 1:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>or not. There was a time, boys and girls when

1:03:24.440 --> 1:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I did both hunt and fish. Um, and then eventually

1:03:27.520 --> 1:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm just the fish guy, So no

1:03:29.560 --> 1:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>none for me. Alright. Well, UM, my answers are no,

1:03:34.320 --> 1:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>yes and uh and yes. Um. I've never been to Manitoba.

1:03:38.800 --> 1:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I am definitely hunting this spring. Um. You know, for

1:03:41.840 --> 1:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>all the fishing that I do, I do about an

1:03:44.320 --> 1:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>equivalent amount of hunting. Um. And then any bear plans,

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you bet man. Um, I'm gonna be hunting bears in Montana.

1:03:51.400 --> 1:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>And then I have a pretty cool mule der tag.

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And in part of scouting mule deer for next season,

1:03:57.280 --> 1:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna shoot down to Idaho where I picked up

1:03:59.760 --> 1:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>a bear or tag as well, so you know, we'll

1:04:01.480 --> 1:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. I'm only going to shoot one bear.

1:04:03.520 --> 1:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you know. I know I'm only gonna shoot

1:04:05.880 --> 1:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>one bear. Um, just because you don't need to shoot

1:04:08.280 --> 1:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>two bears in a season. But um, but yeah, so

1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:16.479
<v Speaker 1>those are those are my bear plans. Next question, fih

1:04:16.560 --> 1:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Daddy four oh one asks, Yeah, he's he's he's a

1:04:20.400 --> 1:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he makes a bunch of molded baits. I don't know

1:04:22.560 --> 1:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>if you found that dude on Instagram, but yeah, well now, yeah,

1:04:26.000 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I've watched some of his live live ties, live pores.

1:04:29.680 --> 1:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess. Um he asks least favorite species to catch

1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>walleyes and the my last opportunities. This is like my

1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>last opportunity on Ben to take a dump on walleyes,

1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and I will continue to do it. Mad. Respect for

1:04:46.560 --> 1:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the people who are good at catching them, I get it,

1:04:48.480 --> 1:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>but as a fish to target, they suck. I'm sorry

1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>while I suck. Yeah, my least favorite is rock bass.

1:04:58.640 --> 1:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I always get bummed. Really how he's mad at rock

1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>bass like an American treasure. Well, a couple of reasons.

1:05:06.440 --> 1:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Number One, I'm always fishing for something else when I

1:05:08.600 --> 1:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>catch them. Number Two, I've never eaten one, so, like,

1:05:12.200 --> 1:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe they're amazing like table fair, but like

1:05:15.040 --> 1:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just not something I've experienced. It's funny you bring

1:05:18.400 --> 1:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that up. No, well, I don't know. I've never eaten

1:05:20.600 --> 1:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>them either, But um man, this has come up. I've

1:05:24.040 --> 1:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>written about it in years past, Like when I was

1:05:25.760 --> 1:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a kid, there were rock bass everywhere around here, every stream,

1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>like they were, dude, they're getting harder and harder to

1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>find in the Northeast, and there's something to that that

1:05:34.880 --> 1:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>nobody can quite figure out, but many people have agreed, like, yeah, shure,

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't catch rock bass the way we used to.

1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I do still have a couple of spots. Would it

1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>surprise me if like the stocking of other game fish

1:05:45.880 --> 1:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like pushing maybe, but you brought up,

1:05:48.360 --> 1:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you brought up eating him. I was fishing in West

1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Virginia years ago in the New River, and man, you

1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>catch some stud rock bass between the Smalley's there and

1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>those West Virginia boys. I mean, you know, dude, they'll

1:05:57.040 --> 1:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll fry up anything down there, but they're not

1:06:00.160 --> 1:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a huge fan. They it's they say it tastes okay,

1:06:03.080 --> 1:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>but it's a very kind of soft, mushy meat. So great.

1:06:07.240 --> 1:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It's always kind of like the inkling that I got

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>when it when it came to your rock bass. And

1:06:10.640 --> 1:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>also like I'm kind of like scarred because like any

1:06:13.200 --> 1:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>time my dad would be bass fishing and called a

1:06:15.200 --> 1:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>rock bass, which is often or I called a rock bass,

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:23.320
<v Speaker 1>which was often he go rock bass. I like your dad,

1:06:23.400 --> 1:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that's yeah, And so and so like I just kind

1:06:25.920 --> 1:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of have that forever like etched. Um, I'm gonna start.

1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>You can tell your dad, I'm gonna start using that

1:06:31.480 --> 1:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>every time I catch one. Okay, So Grant Burger would

1:06:36.960 --> 1:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>working asks if you could write your own travel slash

1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>fish species specific book, what would it be? Mine would

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>be I'd title it the Complete Guide to Serve Casting.

1:06:49.760 --> 1:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a book that already exists. You can look

1:06:51.760 --> 1:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>it up Grant on Amazon and purchase yourself a copy,

1:06:54.480 --> 1:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>do a brother of favor. Otherwise, I can't disclose any

1:06:57.400 --> 1:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>of that because I can't. I can't, couldn't. I I'm

1:07:00.800 --> 1:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>not spitting out future book ideas, though I do have some. Yeah, um,

1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>if I could write, I would uh what you can know? Um? Yeah,

1:07:09.800 --> 1:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that would be, man, Like you know,

1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>part of me wants to do a see. It's kind

1:07:17.400 --> 1:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of conflicting because a lot of the stuff that I'm

1:07:19.760 --> 1:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>passionate about is rooted in like a semi esoteric knowledge.

1:07:24.600 --> 1:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>And I talk a lot about blue lining brook Trout

1:07:28.560 --> 1:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and so like a blue line guide and like maybe

1:07:33.160 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>a some thoughts on blue lining and the sort of

1:07:36.040 --> 1:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>places that it takes. You would be something that I'd

1:07:39.520 --> 1:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>be interested in writing about. But but I don't want

1:07:43.680 --> 1:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>everyone to go and start doing that just because like

1:07:46.600 --> 1:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>those little streams can take like you know, barely any pressure.

1:07:50.720 --> 1:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>And the reality is is like if you particularly out

1:07:54.760 --> 1:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>east man, if you start talking about like even vague

1:07:58.480 --> 1:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>terms like drainages, you know, you can pretty much be like, Okay,

1:08:03.040 --> 1:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about one of fifteen tributaries. But in my opinion,

1:08:07.920 --> 1:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that's a writable book without getting too specific. I mean

1:08:10.720 --> 1:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>if I if I, if I were forced to write that,

1:08:12.720 --> 1:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>baby man, but like I wouldn't like straight tactics and

1:08:15.280 --> 1:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and sort of what to look for without being very specific. Yeah,

1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of like the beauty about blue lining. Man.

1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:25.679
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's very like while we're waxing anyhow. Um.

1:08:25.800 --> 1:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I like about blue lining

1:08:28.439 --> 1:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>is that it's a really good way to learn how

1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to read water and understand fish because it's so a

1:08:34.320 --> 1:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>b like, you know, there aren't a lot of like

1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>questions left on the table. If a fish doesn't take

1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the fly that you present to it in a blue line, um,

1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:48.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, either you're just like not fishing the right

1:08:48.600 --> 1:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>technique for that period of time, or your cast and

1:08:50.920 --> 1:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>drift were bad most of the time. If you put

1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:57.479
<v Speaker 1>on an elk care cat is any time from March

1:08:57.960 --> 1:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>to uh, you know, November. And I mean I I

1:09:02.520 --> 1:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't suggest fishing through October, by the way, because that's

1:09:05.120 --> 1:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>when the brook trouter spawning. But if you if you

1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:10.599
<v Speaker 1>were to do that, um, you would get hit as

1:09:10.640 --> 1:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>long as your drift was right and your cast was good. Um.

1:09:14.920 --> 1:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I really like about blue lining is

1:09:17.080 --> 1:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>actually like the kind of tactical deficiency and more of

1:09:20.280 --> 1:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>just like the feedback on your skill. Yeah, and you're right,

1:09:25.280 --> 1:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you're now what you're talking about, because I just think

1:09:28.920 --> 1:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>it's easy as shit, Like it's just easy fishing. It's

1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>easy fishing. So like I love wild brook trot as

1:09:35.200 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>much as the next guy. But whereas I know you're

1:09:37.520 --> 1:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the guy that will follow that stream up for miles,

1:09:40.800 --> 1:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll do the first quarter mile and like catch a

1:09:43.439 --> 1:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch and then I'm like, all right, now where

1:09:45.160 --> 1:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>do we now? What do we do? Like I can't

1:09:47.000 --> 1:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hold my interest all day, right, and again, like

1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that it is easy fishing. But and if

1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:57.759
<v Speaker 1>you're a beginner listening to this, Um, I would check

1:09:58.160 --> 1:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>out Blue Lining. Um. Number one, you're gonna find a

1:10:02.040 --> 1:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of opportunities that you didn't know were there. Number two,

1:10:05.240 --> 1:10:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be surrounded by a lot of that kind

1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of water that that you kind of think of when

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you think about fly fishing for trout. And then number three,

1:10:15.240 --> 1:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>it really is a good way to learn how to

1:10:18.000 --> 1:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>read the water and you know identify like, oh, that

1:10:21.800 --> 1:10:23.479
<v Speaker 1>was a good drift, and I can tell because I

1:10:23.520 --> 1:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>got hit and that was a bad drift because I'm

1:10:26.240 --> 1:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>reading the water. I know there's a bucket right there,

1:10:28.720 --> 1:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>and I know that there's a trout in it. And

1:10:31.720 --> 1:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>if it didn't hit, it's because like something was wrong

1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>with my drift. I got some weird drag or something.

1:10:35.800 --> 1:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, that's the book that I would write. Well,

1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>if I were to write a book, Listen, people are

1:10:39.439 --> 1:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>so desperate to get out and away from people right now.

1:10:42.000 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>If you draft a really good Blue Line, Brooke would

1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>probably sell. Because that's another thing I've learned, like your

1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>first book is often your passion project, and after do

1:10:48.520 --> 1:10:51.559
<v Speaker 1>you see how much time goes into that passion You're

1:10:51.600 --> 1:10:53.559
<v Speaker 1>like the next one's got to make money or I'm

1:10:53.600 --> 1:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>not doing it, so maybe we'll do this question anyhow.

1:10:57.240 --> 1:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>This one comes from d h A. Lab Dan, who

1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>actually started the comment thread that ended up getting me

1:11:04.479 --> 1:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>hired here. Yeah, he says our family friendly fishing boats,

1:11:10.280 --> 1:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and I believe like by that he means like ski

1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>fish hybrids like the Yamaha f S H two ten

1:11:16.760 --> 1:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>actually fishy um M. I'll lead off with this one.

1:11:21.880 --> 1:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I grew up learning how to fish on on one

1:11:25.200 --> 1:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of these boats. It's like a stratus. I think it

1:11:29.960 --> 1:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>had like somewhere in between the live wells. We could

1:11:32.080 --> 1:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>throw up a ski pylon and the problem was, though

1:11:35.040 --> 1:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's still had a lot of bass boat

1:11:37.360 --> 1:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>behind it, so you wouldn't even notice. But you'd be going, Um,

1:11:43.240 --> 1:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you'd like have your buddy Jack on the tube behind you,

1:11:46.520 --> 1:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and your your dad would be like bumping up that

1:11:50.280 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>motor to the point that next thing you know, you're

1:11:51.840 --> 1:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>going fifty miles an hour. Jack's hanging on for dear life.

1:11:54.280 --> 1:11:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You hit a bump, Jack gets launched, the inner tube

1:11:56.800 --> 1:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>thing gets caught under his nose, rips of gash across

1:12:00.080 --> 1:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>his face, and now you're at the hospital. Um that

1:12:04.040 --> 1:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>actually talking about right now? How is this answering the

1:12:07.960 --> 1:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>man's question. Uh, Dan, the family friendly? What this this

1:12:13.520 --> 1:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>question doesn't make a lot of sense. I could did

1:12:15.400 --> 1:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a quick search on the Yamaha f Ace whatever to ten.

1:12:18.320 --> 1:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just a little center console, that's all. It's just

1:12:21.040 --> 1:12:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a little it's just a little center console. So I'm

1:12:23.800 --> 1:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>not talking about I thought he was talking about one

1:12:25.920 --> 1:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>of those like, um, they're advertised like ski sport hybrids.

1:12:30.320 --> 1:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh No, I googled it and it's it's it's just

1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a little Yamaha twenty one ft center console. So I

1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:40.639
<v Speaker 1>don't quite understand by fishy, Like, dude, you can fish

1:12:40.920 --> 1:12:42.719
<v Speaker 1>on an inner tube if you know how to fish.

1:12:43.000 --> 1:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't see. I don't know if it's

1:12:44.680 --> 1:12:47.599
<v Speaker 1>a good boat or anything. But it's just it's just

1:12:47.640 --> 1:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a little just a little center console, so I would say, yes,

1:12:51.000 --> 1:12:53.839
<v Speaker 1>it's probably fishy. Wait hold on, Joe, hold on, I'm

1:12:53.880 --> 1:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>not even gonna have this be edited out. I'm just

1:12:56.280 --> 1:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna send you this thing that i'm looking at right here.

1:12:59.840 --> 1:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Here is what I learned how to fish on. Did

1:13:04.680 --> 1:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you get it, Joe? I did? Yeah, But I mean

1:13:08.160 --> 1:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>that's technically like a that's a that's actually a fishing boat.

1:13:12.040 --> 1:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>That's not. Yeah, well I'll tell you what, see jo.

1:13:17.000 --> 1:13:19.439
<v Speaker 1>This is where like I for once and more experienced

1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>than you, and this it is a ski boat because

1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>it had this like stupid little pylon that you had

1:13:24.600 --> 1:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>these like rivets by the live wells and you'd screw

1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a ski pylon into where you're It's called the ski fish,

1:13:31.280 --> 1:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>which means it does both things. Yeah, you know, I

1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>got you. I got you. Um but anyhow, um okay

1:13:38.360 --> 1:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>to answer your question, bro, Yeah, you can fish from

1:13:40.160 --> 1:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>they're they're fine fish from anything that floats, Dude, if

1:13:43.680 --> 1:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>it floats, you can fish from it. Yeah. And uh,

1:13:46.000 --> 1:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're looking to do like ski activities, towing, tubing

1:13:49.360 --> 1:13:52.439
<v Speaker 1>things like that, heed my tubing warning. And if you

1:13:52.479 --> 1:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>get into wakeboarding later, man, they don't throw a particularly

1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>good weake, so like you're not gonna be able to

1:13:57.080 --> 1:13:58.559
<v Speaker 1>jump a whole bunch, you're gonna look like a dork.

1:13:59.439 --> 1:14:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Um any out. Jared Curland Jared dot Curland asks what's

1:14:06.880 --> 1:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the best way to get involved with guiding? Take a

1:14:10.960 --> 1:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of people who don't want to listen to

1:14:13.680 --> 1:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you fishing and see how you feel at the end

1:14:16.040 --> 1:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of the day before you decide that and don't charge

1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>them because that's illegal. It's a tough one, man. I

1:14:24.240 --> 1:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>would just say it depends on where you live. Like

1:14:25.720 --> 1:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're lucky enough to live in in in high

1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:30.799
<v Speaker 1>tourist destinations like Montana that have a lot of shops.

1:14:30.920 --> 1:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you link up with a shop or an

1:14:33.960 --> 1:14:36.599
<v Speaker 1>outfit there. Maybe you start by just sweeping the floors

1:14:36.600 --> 1:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in the fly shop and work your way up. Um,

1:14:39.960 --> 1:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>out here, there really aren't a lot of outfitters. You

1:14:41.920 --> 1:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>just kind of go independent. You just kind of do it.

1:14:43.720 --> 1:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You just put yourself out there after getting appropriately certified.

1:14:47.640 --> 1:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, yeah you got and then how you get

1:14:49.880 --> 1:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>certified varies state by state. Um. But I don't know.

1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Involved with guiding or being a guide, I don't know.

1:14:58.360 --> 1:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>It sort of depends on on what it is want

1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to do. I mean, you can always find a gig

1:15:02.400 --> 1:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in Alaska, but depending on your experience level, you know,

1:15:06.280 --> 1:15:10.719
<v Speaker 1>you might not like the gig. Um. But really, before

1:15:10.720 --> 1:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>anybody considers people ask me all the time, why don't

1:15:13.040 --> 1:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you guide on the side. Whyn't you get in the the side?

1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, and I've said this on this show. I

1:15:16.439 --> 1:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>love taking new people fishing if they want to go

1:15:19.520 --> 1:15:22.439
<v Speaker 1>fishing and learn and listen as soon as like you

1:15:22.560 --> 1:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>like no better, even though you've never done the ship

1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. I'm like, then, I'm just gonna crush you

1:15:27.320 --> 1:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>with a rod and I don't care. I don't care

1:15:29.000 --> 1:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>about your success anymore. I don't have the patients. Um,

1:15:32.800 --> 1:15:34.839
<v Speaker 1>so make sure you have that before you get involved

1:15:34.880 --> 1:15:37.679
<v Speaker 1>in any kind of guiding. Yeah. Um, I'm just gonna

1:15:37.720 --> 1:15:41.679
<v Speaker 1>echo what Joe said. Uh, getting involved in a fly shop,

1:15:42.400 --> 1:15:45.479
<v Speaker 1>uh and working your way up is a pretty good

1:15:45.479 --> 1:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>way to go, I guess if you're committed to it. Um.

1:15:47.800 --> 1:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>The reason being is that eventually, you know, one of

1:15:50.960 --> 1:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>those fishing guides will be too hungover to take folks out.

1:15:54.000 --> 1:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, next thing you know, you're driving. You're driving

1:15:57.439 --> 1:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>down to the boat rent with a bunch of people

1:15:58.960 --> 1:16:00.519
<v Speaker 1>who don't want to listen to you. A lot of

1:16:00.560 --> 1:16:02.519
<v Speaker 1>times the shop a lot of times the shopper outfit

1:16:02.600 --> 1:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>or also covers your insurance because that ain't cheap. Yeah,

1:16:05.600 --> 1:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's actually uh some an insurance esque question is

1:16:08.960 --> 1:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna come up later. Okay, So this comes from Underscore,

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Have Gun, Will Travel, he says, ask Joe to walk

1:16:15.840 --> 1:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>us through how he makes fly leaders for pike again,

1:16:18.200 --> 1:16:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Joe Walkers how to make up. I'm gonna try and

1:16:22.520 --> 1:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>not walk it too long because it's it's uh, it's

1:16:25.040 --> 1:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of boring. But um, I always I'm usually

1:16:28.439 --> 1:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>fishing pike with a sink tip line, whether it's slower

1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:34.000
<v Speaker 1>fast regardless. So I just used like a straight shot

1:16:34.479 --> 1:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>like four ft a thirty pound floor carbon and then

1:16:37.320 --> 1:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I love, um Courtland's st ten is there tiable uh

1:16:43.439 --> 1:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>steel leader? It actually comes on a coil like tipp it,

1:16:46.360 --> 1:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>So I all bright not from the thirty pound to

1:16:50.479 --> 1:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, a foot long section of that steel leader.

1:16:53.640 --> 1:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Then I put a perfection loop in the end of

1:16:55.320 --> 1:16:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the steel and use a really good quality clip so

1:16:58.280 --> 1:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I can just quickly clip flies off on and that's

1:17:00.760 --> 1:17:03.479
<v Speaker 1>it done, donezo. So the whole thing is about five

1:17:03.479 --> 1:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>ft total. I like a short leader. Cool. Dj Roloff asks, Uh,

1:17:08.840 --> 1:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>what peeves do you have about phishing media? You go first, um, um,

1:17:21.439 --> 1:17:27.439
<v Speaker 1>what peeves do I have about phishing media? Um? You know,

1:17:27.600 --> 1:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, uh, I think we address that and a

1:17:30.920 --> 1:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of the stuff that we do in that a

1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of it doesn't show. Um, a lot of it

1:17:37.760 --> 1:17:40.559
<v Speaker 1>doesn't show. Things are like accessible to folks. You know,

1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it doesn't show the the you know,

1:17:46.160 --> 1:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the the reality of what fishing is to the average person.

1:17:49.560 --> 1:17:51.559
<v Speaker 1>And like, I'm going to get on like a stump

1:17:51.600 --> 1:17:57.360
<v Speaker 1>speech for a second here, man, fishing is important and

1:17:57.960 --> 1:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>accessible fishing is important, and here's why. Uh. In my mind,

1:18:02.840 --> 1:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're trying to bring people into like the outdoors

1:18:07.000 --> 1:18:08.679
<v Speaker 1>in a meaningful way, you you wanted to have fun,

1:18:08.680 --> 1:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but like you want them to become effective lifelong conservationists, right,

1:18:13.040 --> 1:18:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and like that's like a commitment that can only be

1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>made with like joy and enthusiasm. M Um. That joint

1:18:21.160 --> 1:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm comes from an appreciation of all the natural world

1:18:25.680 --> 1:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>has to offer, and a good way to develop that

1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:33.160
<v Speaker 1>appreciation is by experiencing what the natural world has to offer.

1:18:33.640 --> 1:18:36.920
<v Speaker 1>And fishing, in my mind, is the single most accessible

1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:39.439
<v Speaker 1>way for the average person to do that. So in

1:18:39.560 --> 1:18:43.320
<v Speaker 1>showing more accessible fishing and outdoor media, like, that's what

1:18:43.360 --> 1:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I would want for it. So it's not like so

1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>much a peeve is like a desire, like I want

1:18:47.160 --> 1:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>more representation of accessible fishing in outdoor media. Yep, yep, no,

1:18:51.880 --> 1:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with that, man, that's a really good answer.

1:18:53.840 --> 1:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna keep mind very short and sweet, and I'm

1:18:56.240 --> 1:19:00.679
<v Speaker 1>certainly not going to name names. Um. What what bothers

1:19:00.680 --> 1:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>me is there are a lot of very successful people

1:19:03.320 --> 1:19:06.519
<v Speaker 1>in fishing media these days, with very large followings, and

1:19:06.520 --> 1:19:09.400
<v Speaker 1>if you know anything about fishing and pay attention to them,

1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:12.439
<v Speaker 1>even in the slightest most of them have very little

1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:16.479
<v Speaker 1>to no idea what the hell they're talking about. They

1:19:16.520 --> 1:19:21.439
<v Speaker 1>just don't have the background experience. They haven't really done shit,

1:19:21.760 --> 1:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they haven't really been anywhere, they haven't really learned anything.

1:19:25.479 --> 1:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>They are just spouting off crap, which is fine, right,

1:19:29.760 --> 1:19:32.759
<v Speaker 1>but it's like, man, these are the people that maybe

1:19:32.800 --> 1:19:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that that kid or that next generation, like they're going

1:19:34.960 --> 1:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to get them into fishing. And like I watched some

1:19:37.320 --> 1:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of these things and I'm like, you sound so dumb, right,

1:19:41.800 --> 1:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you have no idea what you're talking about. So it

1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>just it it. I am always wanted to be like,

1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:50.559
<v Speaker 1>if I don't know, I'll tell you I don't know.

1:19:50.680 --> 1:19:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I know, I don't know anything about doing that kind

1:19:52.520 --> 1:19:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of fishing. I don't know anything about this. Um I

1:19:54.920 --> 1:19:57.120
<v Speaker 1>can find out for you talk to some good people.

1:19:57.600 --> 1:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>But I value authenticity and I think authenticity works if

1:20:02.360 --> 1:20:04.759
<v Speaker 1>you can admit that you're not an expert. That's fine,

1:20:04.800 --> 1:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that's still authentic. But the amount of people out there

1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that I just watched this ship and I'm like you,

1:20:10.240 --> 1:20:12.479
<v Speaker 1>you just have no clue what you're talking about right now.

1:20:13.120 --> 1:20:18.360
<v Speaker 1>That bothers me. M So. Carnivore eight seventy asks do

1:20:18.479 --> 1:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>fish caught through the ice taste better than fish caught

1:20:20.960 --> 1:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>during the summer? Uh? Do? That's one of those weird things.

1:20:26.080 --> 1:20:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, yes, Like I do believe that

1:20:28.880 --> 1:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>not even necessarily ice, just cold water verse warm water. Um,

1:20:35.120 --> 1:20:37.639
<v Speaker 1>but is there science behind that? There could be, If

1:20:37.640 --> 1:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>there is, I'm not aware of it, but I would

1:20:39.800 --> 1:20:41.920
<v Speaker 1>say yes to that. Something called out of cold water

1:20:42.000 --> 1:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>always seems to taste better than something called out of

1:20:44.240 --> 1:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>warm water. Yeah, I'd agree with that. I'd agree with that.

1:20:48.960 --> 1:20:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Cold Boy seventeen says you have one species and one

1:20:52.640 --> 1:20:56.559
<v Speaker 1>method of fishing for life? What is it? Oh? God,

1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:00.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't never know how to answer these.

1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>That's that's like saying you not to bring up golf again.

1:21:03.560 --> 1:21:05.719
<v Speaker 1>But like you can play any course in the world,

1:21:05.760 --> 1:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>but you can only take your putter, Like, no, I don't,

1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know. I love I love

1:21:10.880 --> 1:21:14.080
<v Speaker 1>all types of fishing too much, Like I, do you

1:21:14.120 --> 1:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>have an answer for that? Like, do you have a

1:21:16.200 --> 1:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>true answer for that? Be up. I'm going with my

1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:22.640
<v Speaker 1>boy Corey Calkins drifting down the yellowstone fly fish and

1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>big stupid foam bugs for big stupid brown trout. Mm

1:21:27.920 --> 1:21:33.120
<v Speaker 1>hmm yeah, I can't whittle that down. I'm sorry, Colby,

1:21:33.520 --> 1:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>colboy whatever. Moving on. Um M k Row seventy two says,

1:21:39.640 --> 1:21:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is the guide or the client responsible for replacing broken equipment?

1:21:44.000 --> 1:21:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a good question, um man, that seems too so.

1:21:50.880 --> 1:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I've been on on charters before where that's like written

1:21:56.080 --> 1:21:58.599
<v Speaker 1>in blood, like you sign a thing like anything you

1:21:58.640 --> 1:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>break you buy. That's not I don't. I don't want

1:22:01.240 --> 1:22:03.400
<v Speaker 1>to say that's the norm. Most of the time it

1:22:03.560 --> 1:22:10.120
<v Speaker 1>is not, so I think in most cases, is it

1:22:10.200 --> 1:22:15.320
<v Speaker 1>your responsibility? No? I mean, like if you break a rod,

1:22:15.400 --> 1:22:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well, that dude just took a business hit

1:22:17.479 --> 1:22:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for the day. He's probably had rods broken before. But

1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>should you because you're a good human being and like

1:22:23.640 --> 1:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>now you just cost this guy? Hell yeah you should.

1:22:26.960 --> 1:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I would. I I mean that with without without a doubt,

1:22:30.080 --> 1:22:32.599
<v Speaker 1>especially if I did something stupid if his rod breaks

1:22:32.600 --> 1:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>because he had a chip in it that he didn't

1:22:34.040 --> 1:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>know about, one thing. But like if you're being an

1:22:35.840 --> 1:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>ass hat and like smacking it off the gunnal, yeah,

1:22:38.840 --> 1:22:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you should absolutely, yeah. I mean, you know, depending on

1:22:42.400 --> 1:22:44.479
<v Speaker 1>what happens. If you're like, you know, cranking on a

1:22:44.520 --> 1:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>fish and like you're not doing anything like dumb in

1:22:47.080 --> 1:22:51.519
<v Speaker 1>the rod just like explodes. You know, that's like one thing.

1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:57.400
<v Speaker 1>If you have casted it into a tree and you know,

1:22:57.800 --> 1:23:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you keep you know, can't indicay in it and trying

1:23:01.080 --> 1:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to pop it out, and like the rod breaks, maybe

1:23:04.080 --> 1:23:05.639
<v Speaker 1>you ought to pay for it. On the other hand,

1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:08.679
<v Speaker 1>if like the guide says, pointed it like the tree

1:23:09.520 --> 1:23:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and you do that and you pull it out and

1:23:12.360 --> 1:23:14.479
<v Speaker 1>the split shot that you were using comes back and

1:23:14.520 --> 1:23:17.360
<v Speaker 1>obliterates the rod, that's not really your fault, man, that's

1:23:17.360 --> 1:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>not your fault. You know it It varies, man. Look,

1:23:20.920 --> 1:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line is these guides, um, you know a

1:23:25.680 --> 1:23:27.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of them are working out of shops, in which

1:23:27.600 --> 1:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>case is actually the shops equipment you know most times,

1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and like the shop realizes that that's just something that

1:23:33.280 --> 1:23:37.720
<v Speaker 1>comes to the territory. Same as like renting rods, right, ye. Um,

1:23:38.600 --> 1:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're going out with a guide that

1:23:40.800 --> 1:23:44.479
<v Speaker 1>you know is a sole proprietor, um, you know, maybe

1:23:44.600 --> 1:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>offer to maybe offer to pay for it. But it's

1:23:48.280 --> 1:23:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a case by case. Man. If you're acting like an

1:23:49.880 --> 1:23:52.439
<v Speaker 1>ass and you break a rod, you know you got

1:23:52.479 --> 1:23:54.519
<v Speaker 1>what was coming and you ought to pay for it.

1:23:54.600 --> 1:23:58.439
<v Speaker 1>If it was a pure accident, like hey, rod's break sometimes. Man,

1:23:58.960 --> 1:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that's just what it is, alright, Moving on, um J

1:24:03.040 --> 1:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>d N forty four says, what's the dumbest or sketchiest

1:24:06.320 --> 1:24:11.280
<v Speaker 1>thing you've ever done to catch a fish? Man, that's

1:24:11.320 --> 1:24:13.599
<v Speaker 1>a really awesome question. I feel like I should have

1:24:13.680 --> 1:24:15.960
<v Speaker 1>this mega answer, and if I had more time to

1:24:15.960 --> 1:24:18.519
<v Speaker 1>think about it would probably probably pop into my brain.

1:24:19.720 --> 1:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>But the one that all that comes the top of

1:24:23.040 --> 1:24:26.519
<v Speaker 1>my head was in my hardcore surf fishing days. Like

1:24:26.560 --> 1:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in college, Um, I used to do a lot of

1:24:29.320 --> 1:24:34.479
<v Speaker 1>jetty hopping and I remember skipping class one day to

1:24:34.560 --> 1:24:37.800
<v Speaker 1>catch a certain tide and I got down to this

1:24:37.840 --> 1:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>particular jetty and took one look at it and I

1:24:41.400 --> 1:24:43.599
<v Speaker 1>knew it was too big to do it, Like it

1:24:43.680 --> 1:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>was stupid, like it was too kicked up. And the

1:24:46.080 --> 1:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>jetty comes out like an L, So you have the

1:24:47.720 --> 1:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>main jetty pointing straight east off shore, and then about

1:24:51.200 --> 1:24:53.599
<v Speaker 1>halfway out you have an L shooting off to the north,

1:24:53.640 --> 1:24:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and the stripers would would feed in that elbow like

1:24:57.520 --> 1:25:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in that nook, and I I looked at it, and

1:25:00.760 --> 1:25:03.599
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is really stupid. But I drove

1:25:03.640 --> 1:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>all that way and I skipped class to go fish it.

1:25:07.520 --> 1:25:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And you can easily talk yourself into going, well, it's

1:25:10.080 --> 1:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>not that bad. It's not that bad. And I was

1:25:14.320 --> 1:25:17.519
<v Speaker 1>all by myself, and I went out on that L

1:25:18.360 --> 1:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>and luckily at the time because I was still keeping stripers,

1:25:21.439 --> 1:25:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I had a jetty gaff. I had a Calcutta long

1:25:23.640 --> 1:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>jetty gaff. And I went out like a couple of

1:25:26.479 --> 1:25:28.400
<v Speaker 1>couple of waves broke and it was not that big

1:25:28.400 --> 1:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a deal, Like I just held my ground and started fishing,

1:25:32.120 --> 1:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and I I wedged the jetty gaff into the rocks

1:25:36.200 --> 1:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>next to me, and um, I looked down for about

1:25:41.000 --> 1:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>three seconds to to change out a plug and just

1:25:44.880 --> 1:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>got my feet taken right out from under me. And luckily,

1:25:49.520 --> 1:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on my way off the back side of that jetty,

1:25:52.080 --> 1:25:55.360
<v Speaker 1>one hand caught the gaff that was still wedged in

1:25:55.360 --> 1:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the rocks and I had two more break over me

1:25:58.320 --> 1:26:01.160
<v Speaker 1>while I was hanging on, and it's scared the living

1:26:01.160 --> 1:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>ship out of me. But I just got up and

1:26:04.280 --> 1:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and got off, and UM, that was dumb. That was dumb.

1:26:07.920 --> 1:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I knew I shouldn't have been out there, but I was. Yeah.

1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't have anything quite like that. Um.

1:26:14.479 --> 1:26:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I think the common thread here is

1:26:18.320 --> 1:26:24.519
<v Speaker 1>underestimating heavy water. UM. You know. I remember I was

1:26:24.520 --> 1:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>steel head fish in one time and there was a

1:26:27.720 --> 1:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of pressure where I. Where I was was on

1:26:29.960 --> 1:26:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Salmon River, and I knew that there was a spot

1:26:32.640 --> 1:26:35.519
<v Speaker 1>that I could probably cross because I'd gone over in

1:26:35.600 --> 1:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a boat before with my buddy Scott, and I'd like,

1:26:38.439 --> 1:26:39.960
<v Speaker 1>let to see the bottom. I was like, oh, you know,

1:26:40.000 --> 1:26:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that looks like kind of like an incognito place across

1:26:42.200 --> 1:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and if you crossed, you would you would get access

1:26:45.280 --> 1:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to a large portion of bank that a lot of

1:26:47.640 --> 1:26:54.000
<v Speaker 1>folks didn't have access to. Um. So I remember, Um,

1:26:54.080 --> 1:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember just kind of like almost losing it in

1:26:56.280 --> 1:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the middle of winter by myself in like a real

1:26:59.560 --> 1:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>sketchy spot. Also on the Salmon River, I was fishing

1:27:02.400 --> 1:27:06.519
<v Speaker 1>across from this. Uh, I was fishing, and which is now,

1:27:08.479 --> 1:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and I had waited across. I had come out like

1:27:14.640 --> 1:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't even really think I got on the opposite bank,

1:27:17.360 --> 1:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>which is like technically which is like private, but like

1:27:20.040 --> 1:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm fishing from the opposite side of opposite side for

1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody fishes. And one of the stewards came down to me.

1:27:28.880 --> 1:27:31.439
<v Speaker 1>He was like, hey, um, you know, I saw you

1:27:31.640 --> 1:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>come down across this way, and you know, I just

1:27:34.840 --> 1:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>want you to know that, like, if one of our

1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:40.920
<v Speaker 1>clients wants to uh wants to fish here, you're gonna

1:27:40.960 --> 1:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>have to move. Um. And and this is I don't

1:27:44.920 --> 1:27:46.120
<v Speaker 1>know if I a should be saying this, but whatever,

1:27:46.160 --> 1:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>this is why I don't like the So in a huff,

1:27:50.080 --> 1:27:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like called the warden man like I I

1:27:52.439 --> 1:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't like I was. I was like, I didn't do that.

1:27:56.360 --> 1:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can, you can tell me you're whatever,

1:27:59.160 --> 1:28:04.559
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't do that. Um. So basically like I

1:28:04.600 --> 1:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>had like some words with this dude, and I was

1:28:07.080 --> 1:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>just like, you know what, fine, And I just like

1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I went to like cross back, like I was real annoyed,

1:28:13.600 --> 1:28:16.599
<v Speaker 1>but I had missed the shelf by like just a touch,

1:28:17.840 --> 1:28:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and so I start crossing back and I realized that

1:28:21.400 --> 1:28:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the line that I'm taking is not good man. But

1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>but but like I'm piste off and committed, so there's

1:28:27.960 --> 1:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>no going back, there's no spinning around the amount. Yeah,

1:28:31.040 --> 1:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I know this position. Yes, So I'm like, I'm just

1:28:33.840 --> 1:28:36.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna do this or I'm gonna die doing it. And

1:28:36.600 --> 1:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I did not die doing it. But that was a

1:28:39.439 --> 1:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty I guess that's not the dumbest thing I've ever

1:28:42.040 --> 1:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>done to catch a fish, but maybe one of the

1:28:43.880 --> 1:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>dumber things have done to prove a point. I've had

1:28:46.320 --> 1:28:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so many sketchy aids, and I don't want to tell

1:28:48.000 --> 1:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a whole another story, but the one that's most memorable.

1:28:50.640 --> 1:28:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I got across and I picked the spot where we

1:28:53.120 --> 1:28:56.479
<v Speaker 1>were crossing the broad Head and this was Father's Day weekend.

1:28:57.160 --> 1:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And I got across and turned around to see my

1:28:59.439 --> 1:29:01.599
<v Speaker 1>poor old man and in the middle of this heavy flow,

1:29:01.680 --> 1:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>waist deep with his flimsy little waiting stick looking at

1:29:05.040 --> 1:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>me like if I don't die, I'm gonna kill you.

1:29:09.360 --> 1:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>The second I get over to that bank, and it

1:29:11.400 --> 1:29:14.679
<v Speaker 1>was like the most hair raising five minutes of my life.

1:29:14.680 --> 1:29:15.960
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those deals where like you just

1:29:16.000 --> 1:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>were waiting, like I was like, he's gonna get taken

1:29:17.960 --> 1:29:19.759
<v Speaker 1>off his feet any second. And I picked the spot.

1:29:19.800 --> 1:29:21.559
<v Speaker 1>I picked the spot, and now there's no going back,

1:29:21.600 --> 1:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>there's no turning around. You are going forward. Luckily he

1:29:24.680 --> 1:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>made it, and then we had a nice dinner at

1:29:26.080 --> 1:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>shown Ease or something. Yeah. Man, that broadhead is funny, dude,

1:29:28.960 --> 1:29:32.479
<v Speaker 1>because there are some stretches of it that you're like, oh,

1:29:32.520 --> 1:29:34.280
<v Speaker 1>this is a peach, and there are other stretches of

1:29:34.320 --> 1:29:36.439
<v Speaker 1>it where you're like, you could go in there and

1:29:36.520 --> 1:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>never come back. All right. Um. Piker seventy two asks, Uh,

1:29:42.240 --> 1:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>why do people who have a boat doc get pissed

1:29:44.360 --> 1:29:47.679
<v Speaker 1>when other people fish it? Like gold Dude, I'm fishing.

1:29:48.360 --> 1:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he means from a boat. Well, yeah, he

1:29:50.920 --> 1:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>does mean from a boat. Um. So I have two

1:29:53.240 --> 1:29:55.680
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that. On a lake, I don't get it.

1:29:55.760 --> 1:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you have if you have a basketbat

1:29:57.200 --> 1:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're pulling up in the middle of the day

1:29:58.360 --> 1:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to somebody's dock and flipping his dock, I don't get it.

1:30:01.040 --> 1:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>They just must feel like whatever bass live under that

1:30:03.280 --> 1:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>dock are their bass now in the saltwater scene. On

1:30:05.760 --> 1:30:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, if I had waterfront property with the dock,

1:30:09.720 --> 1:30:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I would absolutely pay the money to have green lights

1:30:12.840 --> 1:30:15.320
<v Speaker 1>put out on that dock, because there is nothing more

1:30:15.400 --> 1:30:18.479
<v Speaker 1>fun than night dock fishing in saltwater when the lights

1:30:18.479 --> 1:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>bringing all the bait and their stripers and snook and

1:30:20.720 --> 1:30:23.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever you have is just there. Okay, But then if

1:30:23.800 --> 1:30:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you roll up on a boat and fish my lights,

1:30:26.000 --> 1:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>now I'm pissed, even though you have every right to

1:30:28.160 --> 1:30:30.439
<v Speaker 1>do so. I would be furious. But if I had

1:30:30.439 --> 1:30:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a lakefront home and a dude rolled up and flipped it,

1:30:32.520 --> 1:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't give a damn like good for you, man? Okay?

1:30:35.520 --> 1:30:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Ethan sense that asks uh, any tips for dealing with

1:30:39.120 --> 1:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>potentially aggressive waterfowl around your fishing spot? Yeah? Man, um

1:30:43.120 --> 1:30:47.479
<v Speaker 1>a CEO two powered pellet? Gun? Uh, I want to talk?

1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Is a federal offense. I don't do that, Martin, whatever

1:30:52.160 --> 1:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you got, Yeah, I don't know, man. Uh you know

1:30:57.200 --> 1:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Number one? Why wide wide birth? I assume he's talking

1:31:00.120 --> 1:31:04.639
<v Speaker 1>about geese, and that's always do that. The nesting season

1:31:04.680 --> 1:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>always coincides with opening day around here. So I mean,

1:31:08.280 --> 1:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>how many times in your life like you're just a

1:31:10.600 --> 1:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>walking him a trout hole and then get that you're

1:31:13.320 --> 1:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>like ship like turn around, walk around him. I mean,

1:31:16.720 --> 1:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You know, I don't know how many

1:31:18.200 --> 1:31:20.519
<v Speaker 1>times it's happened to be. My first inclination is always

1:31:20.560 --> 1:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like there's a big snake. Yeah, oh yeah, dude, it

1:31:23.360 --> 1:31:27.280
<v Speaker 1>catches you way off guard. All right, So Thomas n

1:31:27.439 --> 1:31:31.639
<v Speaker 1>y EU that could be Thomas and I guess, uh

1:31:31.800 --> 1:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>going to the PM first Steel next week? Are four

1:31:35.160 --> 1:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>guys too many for a drift boat? Will we be

1:31:37.240 --> 1:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>laughed at? Yes? Yes, yes you will too many. I

1:31:40.280 --> 1:31:42.200
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't know what kind of drift boat you're

1:31:42.200 --> 1:31:44.639
<v Speaker 1>dealing with. But even like the biggest stealth craft i'm

1:31:44.640 --> 1:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>aware of, four is too many. Um, it's not that

1:31:49.120 --> 1:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it's probably unsafe. Like I'm thinking about my boat sixteen foot?

1:31:52.200 --> 1:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Could I row four people in it if I had to? Yeah?

1:31:55.040 --> 1:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>But none of you're gonna be able to fish like

1:31:57.479 --> 1:31:59.799
<v Speaker 1>you're not. You're not gonna be able to fish unless

1:31:59.800 --> 1:32:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're so using it to hop out and fish a run,

1:32:02.040 --> 1:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and and he said it's like a shuttle

1:32:06.200 --> 1:32:08.960
<v Speaker 1>whatever if all, if three out of four, you think

1:32:09.000 --> 1:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be like swinging intruders with sink tips, uh

1:32:12.120 --> 1:32:15.720
<v Speaker 1>safety glasses at them? Yeah, and and if that's a

1:32:16.000 --> 1:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>four guys on a guides drift boat, meaning that there

1:32:19.200 --> 1:32:23.599
<v Speaker 1>are five dudes way above the maximum. Yeah, he won't

1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:26.759
<v Speaker 1>let you do that. I highly doubt it. I might, Okay,

1:32:27.040 --> 1:32:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Cakey Codes, I don't know what that means. Uh asks

1:32:30.960 --> 1:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>should adults be able to fish on youth mentor Day? Truthfully,

1:32:36.240 --> 1:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Cakey Codes, I am not really aware of whether they

1:32:39.800 --> 1:32:42.000
<v Speaker 1>can or cannot. So I don't know how to answer that,

1:32:42.080 --> 1:32:44.479
<v Speaker 1>Like if the mentor how do I mentor you if

1:32:44.520 --> 1:32:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't teach you how to cast, which means I

1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>might have to cast for all I know this person

1:32:50.120 --> 1:32:53.679
<v Speaker 1>is correct and on youth Mentor Day the adult cannot fish,

1:32:54.520 --> 1:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But I I, I don't know. I yeah, but I'll

1:32:57.000 --> 1:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>tell you what, man, I will tell you what. I

1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:01.599
<v Speaker 1>bet you if they've let adults fish on youth Mentor Day,

1:33:01.680 --> 1:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot more kids would go fishing. Well that's yeah,

1:33:05.240 --> 1:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>probably you're right. You So, so as far as like

1:33:10.080 --> 1:33:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that's concerned, like, yeah, you know, I would say, like

1:33:13.479 --> 1:33:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that would be a cool thing to let folks, do

1:33:16.600 --> 1:33:18.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of give you, aside from the joy

1:33:18.800 --> 1:33:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of children, a a reward for you know, taking kids fishing.

1:33:23.160 --> 1:33:26.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know that's just me all right, out of

1:33:26.160 --> 1:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the round, asks, if I go ten car fishing and

1:33:29.920 --> 1:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>an old red neck and a cane pole is fishing,

1:33:32.120 --> 1:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>can I still look down on them? No, because your

1:33:35.000 --> 1:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>ten car fishing. I was gonna say, sure, you can,

1:33:38.800 --> 1:33:40.920
<v Speaker 1>in fact still look down on them. But if it

1:33:40.960 --> 1:33:43.599
<v Speaker 1>gets ugly, he's gonna beat your ass because that cane

1:33:43.640 --> 1:33:46.120
<v Speaker 1>pole would snap the ten car rod right in half

1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>if it went full on sword fight. They are much

1:33:49.240 --> 1:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>stronger than your ten car rod. Alright. And last but

1:33:52.920 --> 1:33:58.519
<v Speaker 1>not least cmh o Boza or cm Hobosa or see

1:33:58.840 --> 1:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>m hobos. I don't know how it how it said

1:34:01.120 --> 1:34:04.960
<v Speaker 1>asks like like many of you asked, when are you

1:34:05.040 --> 1:34:08.240
<v Speaker 1>taking Phil fishing? I feel like I feel like I've

1:34:08.280 --> 1:34:10.320
<v Speaker 1>failed Phil. You should take Phil fit You could take

1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Phil fishing so many times it's just like yeah, it

1:34:14.520 --> 1:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>just like never works out. We tried to go duck

1:34:16.080 --> 1:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>hunting to man Um. You know, uh, I will tell

1:34:19.880 --> 1:34:23.559
<v Speaker 1>you what. If there's one person who deserves a free

1:34:23.600 --> 1:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>fishing trip from the Bent Fellows, it's Phil Taylor h

1:34:27.479 --> 1:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and and and and despite my departure, Phil knows he

1:34:30.000 --> 1:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>has an open invitation. I even have an Ikea futon

1:34:33.040 --> 1:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>here for him any time, any time, Phil
