WEBVTT - Ep. 38: Shake a Leg for Pike Minnows 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.720 It's an easy reaching fish feeling bait, chicken hook setting 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:13.960 rod holder that will leave you reeling from the feeling. 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.000 The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.279 order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it. 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:24.479 I don't want to make fun of a store like 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.200 that's no fun. I want to make fun of an 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.040 individual like I want to hurt the feelings of a 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.400 single human. And a guy runs in, He's like, guys, 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.480 we got a boat that's thinking. We need all hands 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:39.040 down on the dock. Good morning, de generated anglers, and 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.040 welcome to Bend, the phishing podcast that refuses to wear 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.640 crocs but there's no problem using a y shaped stick 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.240 to support it's chunking rods. I'm Joe sph Mellie A. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.080 Miles Nulty, and straight up, I'm I'm actually offended right now. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.560 I'm full shit. Don't tell me, well, you wear crocs, crocks. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.279 You're right that I like rocks, but that's that's not 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.080 the issue. That's not what I'm pissed about. I'm pissed 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.080 that you would make such a sweeping proclamation on behalf 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.080 of our shared like team podcast or without any consultation, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:15.400 like that's I didn't. I did not, and and yes 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.200 I rocked the hell out of some Crocs. In fact, 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.960 in fact, I used to guide the guy who started Crocs. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.720 I am team Crocs all the way. Oh so do 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.679 you do you have Croc stock? Then I don't have stocking. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.080 I didn't needn't he ever, teen should have got in 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.759 on that early. Uh. Look, I'm not saying they're not comfy, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.240 because I'm sure they are, but they're just to me, 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.840 they're just so goofy looking. But I did I did 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.160 once to own a pair. I owned a pair of 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.480 Crocs flip flops, and they were super comfy. But every 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.240 time I wore them near water or on a boat, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.120 I'd like slip and blow my knee out every single time. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.960 And I'm like, I can't. This is terrible. Your your spot. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.960 They're not boat shoes, dude, They're not water shoes. You 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.680 can't get them wet or they turn into just like 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.920 they're hyper lubricated when they get wet, slip within it, 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.639 if that makes sense, Like the flip flop wouldn't come off, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.680 My foot would just slide forward. Eat what you're saying, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.560 I have experienced it. I I'm with you on that 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.040 one point. And I don't care if they're goofy looking. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.399 For the record, like I'm goofy looking most of the time, 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.200 so my footwear can totally match me. This is what 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.560 I just I just quickly add about myself though, Right, 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.040 So my point is if I'm going to wear some 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.320 kind of like technical, tactical looking shoe like that I 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.240 needed to be good on the water. If I can't, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.560 if it has not like water shoes, you don't, i'd 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.640 wear them in the water. So if it has no 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.520 value there, then it's just then it's just they're not fashioned. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.120 You where your water there, what you put on afterwards 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.360 to be comfortable, that's what they're for, all right, Like 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.440 I did. I made the mistake of wearing them one 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.440 time when I was guiding and I almost fell out 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.680 of the boat and like lost my baby loft slides, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.360 but I just never did that again. They're they're they're 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.960 the perfect sandals so long as you're not on the water. 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.720 They're after the water sandals. Okay, but they're not sandals. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:15.560 Their cloths, come on, they're not sandals. They're clogs. I'm 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.960 not gonna kill whatever whatever, I'm not going to convince 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.080 you the crocs are like, it's like barely a step 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.560 above going to the grocery store in bedroom slippers, Like 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.320 you know what I'm saying, but look for I don't 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.320 even I didn't even want to get off on the crocs. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.720 I'm trying to I'm trying to coach into chunking sticks. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.639 Where are you on chunking sticks? Right? Yes, yes, the 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.240 choking sticks. Uh, Crocs make a specially good chunking shoes. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.680 And while I won't so bad in anything but the 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.120 finest molded phone sandals, I'm not. I'm not actually that 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.880 picky about what I used to hold my rotten place. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.880 While I'm doing it, I usually just prop it up 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.080 on some rocks. But I assume, I assume you have 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.480 some fancy holders for your chunking sticks. Uh, well I have. 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.080 I have sand spikes for surf fishing, but not for 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.520 freshwater chunking. Though I recently debated, I was on Amazon, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600 I was reading reviews. I debated buying a set of 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.960 expensive holders just for this purpose, and then I I can't. 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.440 I had them in the cart. And then I came 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.520 to the realization that like God has provided all the 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.200 free and perfectly functional rod holders a boy could ever need. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.000 So I I didn't buy them. And that's that's just 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.599 what I use. I mean, it's not something I do 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.440 a ton and they worked just fine. And I don't 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.840 even know if you if you knew this about me, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.760 But did you did you know that I love chunking, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.960 like particularly in fresh water? Oh yeah, yes, we have 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.080 had this conversation. I know this about you. You were, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.200 you're you're a man of your your Polly map. I 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.560 appreciate that. Like I'm all in on aggressive angling. I'm 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.640 all about fly fishing and messing with the coolest lures 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.599 and such. But people who don't know this, I truly 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:51.080 get just as excited about chunking for catfish or gar 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.839 or both in and it shocks a lot of people. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.680 And I don't mean that to say that they scoff 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.040 at it, but rather it's just the style of fishing 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.480 bores them to death, you know what I mean. Like, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.320 I I know a ton of dudes that they're all 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.560 about throwing frogs for both friends, but the idea of 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.560 sitting on a chunk for them has no appeal or 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.560 even forget the chunks, even just hanging a shiner under 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.560 a bomber for bass or pickerel. Sometimes I am just 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.680 in the mood to do it that way, and I 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:20.320 think watching a bomber dip is funny. Ship. Yeah, I can't. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.359 I can't argue there's there's a childhood joy of seeing 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.520 a bomber twitch that I will never like. It is 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.120 ingrained in my soul. Yeah, And I got no issue 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.120 with chunking, although that is definitely a term that I 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.880 learned from you. I was thought of his cut bait 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.800 fishing that's chunking rolls on and it's it's not my 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.640 it's not my go to. It's not my favorite way 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.480 of fishing, but I've got I've got nothing against a 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.920 good soak. I will post up with some cut bait 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.200 for channel cats a couple of times a season and 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.240 have a great time. Fact is, I'm actually organizing my 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.160 first cat fishing trip the year right now with one 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.320 of my best buddies in the son. I think. I 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.200 think it's a really fantastic way to either fish with 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.200 kids or or get drunk near water and call it 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.800 fishing right now. No, it's good for both of those things. 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.599 That's fair. But I also think people assume you just 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.080 like huck a gob a bait anywhere and wait, and 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.600 and that's that's so inaccurate, Like you still have to 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.240 put your time in figuring out exactly where you should 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.760 cast that bait in which baits I don't know work 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.760 best at what time of year and so on and 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.000 and chunking or cut bait fishing is one of those things. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.919 You can make it as complicated as you want, you 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.160 know what I mean. And I have always enjoyed tweaking 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.360 rigs and messing with different hook sizes, and I don't 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.919 care man like when a catfish picks up a bait 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.960 and that like that real starts to click or stick floats, 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.600 stands up and starts running. There's a both in under it. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.360 That just ate a shad chunk. I'm fired up. I 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.000 love it. I really don't. I throw zero shade at that, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.800 and I can I can get behind that. My only 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.880 question is do you do you happen to incorporate any 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.200 wonderful thirteen fishing products and do your chunking tour well? 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.840 It sure do, Miles, And thanks for asking. I've I've 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.520 used their saltwater line extensively to make sure my local 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.840 boat in population fears me uh, open green spinning rod, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.520 the heaviest action they make, to be specific, paired with 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.520 the largest prototype X spinning reel they make. And if 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.640 this all sounds like a shameless plug, it is because 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.640 we love thirteen Fishing. We do. We actually a matter 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.440 of fact, Bent is now proudly brought to you by 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.520 the good people of thirteen Fishing. Yes, I'm sure that 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.480 you all have already seen Joe testing its merit in 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.920 the last couple episodes of B Side Fishing, but probably 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.560 not this week because it's it's a fly fishing episode 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.560 this week with some pike. But generally we got the 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.640 thirteen going and we love them. Yes, this is true, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.200 and thirteen does not make a fly rod, but I'll 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.320 say yet, maybe someday, you never know, because those dudes 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.240 are always busting out new badass designs rising us. Yeah, 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.720 they also do not make rod holders. But if you're 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.280 too cool or too good to use a fork stick 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.920 to chunk like I do, we have a recommendation for 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.520 you this week. We actually do. That's that's actually true. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.680 We're We're gonna we gonna switch gears. They're gonna move 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.280 into sale bin where we make fun of dumb fishing 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.520 ship people are selling in online classifiedes and pull you 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.520 to a product that will make you the terminator of 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.640 your local cat fishing scene. Why did you put the 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.520 hand to pay? You don't know what I'm getting? Man? 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.800 What you didn't have to be so hurtful with me, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.400 so angry? So today's sale bin item sort of bucks 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.320 the norm for us here a bit. But it's just 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:35.000 it's just too ridiculous not to highlight and to be 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.120 completely honest, and I'm not trying to be that guy, Okay, 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.840 But I found this post probably more than a month ago, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.640 and Miles and I both agreed this is a must do, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.200 but it often just takes us a while to sort 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.480 of get caught up on potential sale bin items and 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.520 bar nominations and such. And in the time since then 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.959 and now, a bunch of you have also forwarded this 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.800 one along, and we thank you, but they're they're actually 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.720 there are too many of you to to give shout outs. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:03.920 And technically I found it first, so but fair but fair, 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.480 and I could I could vouch for the accuracy of 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.800 that statement, because a lot of you have written in. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.160 But Joe did find it first. But the reason that 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.240 this particular one is unusual for us is that we 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.920 tend to shy away from products that are there, like 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.320 mass produced, were made to order. The fun of this 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.800 for us is finding old, used, weird junk that some 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.560 random person is trying to pawn off for better or worse. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.640 Though Facebook now allows small time manufacturers that ship globally 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.480 to sneak their products into the local marketplace pages and 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.560 for the most part of stupid stuff like, for example, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.640 the Chillen Reel, which is another one that a lot 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.800 of you sent to us in case you visit. The 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.840 chillen Reel is a cheap ass beer couzy with like 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.160 this little post on the side that you can wind 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:54.360 fishing line around. I'm not even that thing basically just 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.040 makes fun of itself. There's nothing for us to say 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.439 totally yeah, like I don't have yeah, we didn't have 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.640 to tear that up heart just like watch their own 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:06.600 content and it's it's it's just me yeah exactly, um. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.080 But and then doing so, it's also like it's essentially 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.880 like if you're gonna make fun of that or this 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.280 thing today, it's like you're making fun of the store 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.079 selling hard souvenirs on the boardwalk in Jersey. And I 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.120 don't want to make fun of a store like that's 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.199 no fun. I want to make fun of an individual 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.480 like I want to hurt the feelings of a single human, 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.200 not an entire operation. Um. Anyway, I'm sure many of 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.320 you have actually seen this by now, but we just 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:35.199 couldn't stay away from the fish and chum. What's what's 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.160 with the the Why are all the names the same? 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.360 I hate that name, the fish and chum the chillen. Really, 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.920 if you have an end in there, you're screaming gimmick 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.960 to me. It just and all of these make me 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.520 think of other stupid fishing gimmicks from the past, like, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.680 for example, the laser lure. It I feel like there's 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.040 there's there's some kind of a cheesy back story that 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.439 you're gonna tell me to try and get me to 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.480 buy it. Hey, Brice, I wanted to ask you what 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.480 made you think of the laser lure. Well, the laser 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.320 lure is actually in the accent. It wasn't something I 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.240 intended to invent. I used down a gun store and 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.560 I had lots of fish tanks. I got a new 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.480 glock with the laser one and I shouned the glock 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.640 in the fish tank. Well, every fish we chase and 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.880 bite that dot, they bite a rock or bite sand. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:20.080 But this isn't the laser lure. And before I get 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.080 into why the marketing for this product is just so ridiculous, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.840 I have to say, in fairness, the fishing chump could 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.280 actually be useful. The concept itself is not bad. It's 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.640 the picture. It's it's a plastic rod holder that's attached 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.200 to a flat brace with long velcro straps on each end, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.400 so it's it's basically just a portable and removable rod holder. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.320 You could strap it around a dock piling, or strap 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.320 it to a railing, or strap it to an ice 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.760 fishing bucket. You could. You could put this in a 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.719 lot of different places and it could be useful, or 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:57.360 at least moderately useful. But for some reason, that useful 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.000 attribute is not with the makers of the product chose 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.280 to promote. Uh no, not at all, though they're they're 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.640 actually they're promoting it as a holder you can strap 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.400 to your leg. And and in the key photo the 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.880 eye catcher, if you will, you see the lower half 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.560 of man sitting on a bench on a dock, and 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.280 he has a fish and chump strapped to each calf 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:25.400 with with rods extending from both right and I I 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.360 just find this to be so asinine, it's not even funny, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.080 Like unless you're an old man that will stay seated 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.920 the entire day and we'll only need one rod. I 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.200 just don't get it. And even in that, right, why 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.480 not strap the fish and chum to the arm of 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.680 your lawn chair? Why not use a stick in the dirt? Like, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.679 how much reaching effort is this really saving you? Right now? 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.080 Thanks to a little Internet sleuthing though, this here's what 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.640 we learned. The fish and chum is actually not new. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.559 It's been around for at least a decade. And we 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:02.400 know this because Miles foul into this total garage operation, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.400 hack job infomercial that we assume was made by the 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.000 original inventor. And it's it's gold, right. I wish we 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.520 could play all two minutes and twenty seconds of this, 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.640 so we're not going to do that. You look it 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.440 up yourself if you want. But but here's the opening 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.679 fishing jump fishing rod holder a unique fully adjustable like 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.679 mounted rod holder leg mounted the whole a portion of 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.040 slotted to adjust for right or left leg, and the 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.040 ball and cup arrangement locks it in at the desired angle. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.480 So we're guessing what happened is that someone rediscovered this 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.480 product and either bought the patent or the patent was expired, 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.680 and they think they just resurrected and make a quick buck. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.040 But it was terrible ten years ago and it's terrible now. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.200 And I hate to say it, but the first thing 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:55.280 that popped into my head was Forrest Gump. There's this 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:01.000 I just I'm sorry, deficient show looks just like the 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.960 leg braces that little Forest had to wear. And he's 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.559 running and there's the swelling music and they fall apart 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.520 and the bullies are chasing him. That's all I could 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.160 think about. I was running. You think of Forest coming 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:14.760 for some reason. I think of the spears scene in 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.880 a Spentera two when he's got one in each leg. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.320 Everything about the marketing for this product makes me cringe. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.280 Everything about it is bad. Their website tagline, I'm not 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.760 making this up. Their website tagline is it's an easy 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.320 reaching fish feeling bait, jicken hook setting rod holder that 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.040 will leave you reeling from the feeling. No no g 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:54.440 on the end of verbs, not one, but two exclamation 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.280 marks to cap off that juncto of a sentence. The 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:01.600 whole website for Fish and Chow is just chaos. It's 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.560 just utter chaos. I'm intrigued by bait jigging, Like what 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.760 do you do, like twerk on the dock like that 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.600 the whole thing you're you're sitting there and strapped your leg. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.600 You don't have to use your hands to jig. You 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.280 just tap your foot. Oh man, you get a little 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:19.840 mouth harp going, and it's a whole thing. I wish 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.760 there was a video of that. Well, dude, I mean shit, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.600 if you scroll through all the photos in that post, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.480 they have one on a dude's leg that's sitting in 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.800 a very small boat and there are coolers and seeds 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.720 and all kinds of ships surrounding him. So like, that's 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.760 fine if you don't move from that exact position and orientation, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.960 but you reach over to grab your Mr Pid right 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.840 or twist around for the bag of dill pickle sunflower seeds. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.320 You got problems. Oh dill pickle seeds good, they are good. 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.200 I'm not that's they're delicious. They're almost as good as barbecue. Um, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:51.880 but what you also have is an entire boat gunnal 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.560 upon which rod holders can be easily mounted. Like that's 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.960 pretty common, Like you have a boat you fish put 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.880 so it just makes no sound. It's like we it's 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.160 we are. We are all now dumber for having been 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.600 exposed to this, and may God have mercy on our souls. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.080 That's how basically done this. Yeah. I really hope none 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.480 of you bought this and are patiently waiting for it 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.400 to arrive because we've kind of crushed your soul. But 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.280 come on, let's think about this. Remember those little little 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.080 holders that you could put on your your belt to 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.560 hold your rod for re rigging. Most had one, I think, Yeah, Well, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.960 if you don't, that's because no one did, because they 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.880 never took off. No one had those Some people some 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.640 were like maybe, but no, no one bought one. And 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.480 why anyone thinks this leg brace holder is a good idea? 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.840 I don't know, but I've been wrong about lots of 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.240 things before, and maybe they'll sell millions and I'll have 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.280 to admit how wrong I'm I don't know who knows, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.480 But thanks again to everyone who sent this our way, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.480 even even though Joe did technically find it first. And 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.640 as you guys continue finding ridiculous fishing ship for sale 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.840 on your favorite online classified sites, do please keep sending 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:03.240 those links to Bent at the meat Eater dot com. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.760 Now see, that product, in my opinion, is just another 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.800 one of those things that makes you that guy. And 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.880 fishing is it's it's full of such products. Though they 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.720 don't know. They tend to come and go quickly. Um, Like, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.199 you remember he had the line cutter's ring. That was 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.600 I remember them well though, that's what I mean. I 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.280 know you wouldn't have one, but you remember him. And 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.399 I may wear creeks, but I did not have the 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.520 line cutter ring. I've seen a few of them on 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.280 fingers on the water and I'm like, there's that guy, 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:33.800 you know what I mean, there's like the dude. So 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.960 there's the dude at the shitty Park Lake casting a 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.440 lore with a water wolf camera in front of it, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.960 and there he is. There's that guy. Guarantee, when that 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.520 guy goes offshore, he brings some zombait with him, some bait. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.119 But there are other ways to be that guy in 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.879 fishing that do not require terrible gimmicky products. Uh. A 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.800 matter of fact, we're going to hear about one of 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.679 them in a Smooth Moves segment with a unique twist. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.840 Normally the is a part of the show where we 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.439 let guides and captains tell us about idiotic things the 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:07.320 clients have done. But when we called Ja Siemens, he said, hey, 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.120 can I tell you guys a story about something dumb 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.920 I did as a good and we were like, yes, 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.800 yes you can. For those of you familiar with J 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.800 on YouTube, he's incredibly knowledgeable, well spoken, super thoughtful, put 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.199 together angler, So it was it was actually kind of 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:29.240 refreshing to hear that he's not immune to complete screw ups. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:37.119 Why hanging out with us today? In the guide check, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.520 we got our friend Ja Siemens, who's one of our 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.000 North of the North of the Border buddies that we 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.399 don't get to see these days. I know we miss you, guys. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.960 I just miss I want I miss Canada. Mad We 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.399 miss you too, You don't We're hurt without our American 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:58.880 friends up here. Fishing lodges are empty. Yeah, economically, I'm 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.320 sure that's true, but from uh traffic on the water standpoint, 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.159 I bet it's kind of nice. You're allowed to say it. 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.920 Jay were like, yeah, it was bad, as you're you're 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.840 allowed to say it. Fishing was good, The fishing was 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:13.520 good last summer, Yeah, I bet it was. Uh. We 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.600 actually brought you here to tell us a story, and 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.560 and normally the smooth move story focuses on stupid things 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.080 client do. But I think you're gonna tell us something 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.520 stupid that you personally have done. So we're gonna switch 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:25.760 it up a little bit. What do you have for us? 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.200 I've done lots of stupid things all guiding, but this 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.080 one was. This one was in my first week of 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.920 guiding actually, and I I started guiding when I was sixteen, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.560 so I didn't even have my drivers. My parents had 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.359 to drop me off of the fishing lodge and and 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.719 I got boated up and but that's a different part 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.040 of the story. But anyways, it was it was my 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.400 first week of guiding, and um, we had portash into 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.480 a lake that was about an hour boat right away 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.440 from the lodge, and it had been raining all day. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:52.880 So we came back to the boat after I did 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:54.719 of fishing and there's a bunch of water in it. 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.680 And with tiller boats, often when you pull the dream 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.840 plug in the back, it pulls from the inside. So 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.280 if if you don't have a bill pump, then you 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.080 just pull the plug and it'll drain as long as 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.160 you're moving. So we finished our day of fishing. Awesome day. 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.240 Whileye fishing, hot back in the boat with my guests 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.160 and it's it's whatever that our boat ride for boat 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.719 ride back to the lodge, and I pulled the plug 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.080 and it drains out perfectly, and I'm like, Okay, this 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.560 is great, get back, get back to camp, tie the 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.520 boat up, and go up to the dining hall and 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.400 I'm eating with all the other guides and talking about 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.800 our day, and a guy runs in. He's like, guys, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.880 we got a boat that's sinking. We need all hands 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.280 down on the dock. And I'm just like, oh my goodness, 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.240 I wonder whose boat it is. I wonder what happened. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.359 I'm feeling so awful for whoever, whoever this is, Like, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.120 I don't know what went wrong. So I'm just like, 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.280 I'm genuinely concerned for whoever this is. And we started 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.600
