WEBVTT - Ep. 13: Raining Blood on High Mountain Rainbows 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.520 Big cutty on a stone fly. My ass, you're pulling 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.079 the maps behind an RC cigarette boat. W t F. 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.680 How can you screw up with fish taco? But it 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.880 doesn't matter. Like I am who I am and I 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.600 come from where I come from. Those are not sandals. MG. 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.840 Are you Dan W from Fishing Adventtions with Dan w? 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:28.400 Oh my god, Good morning, degenerate anglers, and welcome to 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.840 Bent the Fishing podcast with as much nutritional value as 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:37.760 Ecto cooler. I'm Joe Surmelli A Miles Nulty and I 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.400 really have not thought about an Ecto cooler since I 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.479 was in Coventry school. I'm serious, Like that is you 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.199 dusted off some old memories with that. Was it like 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:53.000 just capri Son with Ghostbusters packaging? Yeah, that's all it was. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:59.600 It was a high sea product. It was delicious, Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.760 There's probably a million of reasons why that's like not 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.920 FDA approved for kids now, but if they still made 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.880 it out by it, I liked it and they paid, 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.800 you know, they paid perfectly. With lunchables. You and I 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.280 were of the air when when lunchables were revolutionary, a 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.640 special treat you know, remember having when having a lunchable 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.720 made you a cool kid? Did you get lunchables? No? God, no, 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.960 my my. I did not have the mom that was 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.280 gonna give me lunchables, just like I'm making you a sandwich. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.440 There's want lunchables? I got, I got, can't. I've also 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.280 ended up fishing and destination so disconnected that lunchables were 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.559 the only logical thing to buy, Like the one gas 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.320 station in town, and then it comes from from deep 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.520 South Texas and we ate him for four days straight. Anyway, 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.480 these days, luckily, it's no longer slimy rounds of mystery 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.520 turkey that fuels us, though, is it? That's true? Grown 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.240 Up Miles and Joe, as well as this podcast are 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.520 fueled entirely by Black Rifle Coffee. There's absolutely nothing mysterious 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.440 about their premium blends, and there's no strange mouth feel 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.480 associated with enjoying a steaming up of their a K 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.040 Espresso or Silencer Smooth. Agreed. Agreed. And if you want 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.400 to join the new cool kids club that doesn't require 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.960 you to buy lunchables, you guys should head over to 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.240 Black Rifle Coffee dot com backslash meat Eater and get 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.240 set up with their subscription service, or just go ahead 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.400 and buy lots of bags, and when you're doing that, 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.760 drop the promo code meat Eater to get off your 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.679 first order. So we actually do get to be part 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.120 of the cool kids club today, just in a in 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.840 a very different capacity. I mean, alright, well, let's put 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.639 it away. I feel like a cool kid today because 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:40.560 we got the legendary and highly respected Tom Rosenbauer of 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.400 Orvis to agree to hang out with us here at Bent, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.399 which is strange and amazing. I feel like a cool 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.200 kid because of that. And you and I have both 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.520 known Tom for years, and I still feel like a 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.240 cool kid when Tom's like, all right, I'll hang out 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.600 with you for a while. You know. But but he's 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.360 such a good dude, and he's one of those guys 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.280 that just exudes ang to acknowledge, you know. I mean, 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.880 he's written so many books and he's constantly doing live 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.440 tying sessions and answering questions. But rather than you know, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.200 harness that wealth of knowledge to make you better anglers, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.520 we basically just asked Tom to trash somebody. Is the plan? 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:22.560 Pretty much, opportunity squandered. Pretty much. We're gonna we're gonna 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.080 reverse the polarity of our Smooth Moves segment this week, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.680 and instead of letting a guide or captain rant about 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.240 stupid things clients have done, We're letting Tom Phillis in 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:38.240 on the worst guide he's ever fished with. Why Why 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.920 So we're gonna do something a little different on Smooth 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.360 Moves this week. Very happy to have a very esteemed 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.400 guest with us here, Mr Tom Rosenbauer, friend of mine 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.920 and Miles of ORBS fame. How are you, sir? Hey Joe, Hey, Miles, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.960 how you doing. We're great to see you, man, Yes, man, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.360 and appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule. 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.760 Well I'm not that busy. I'm happy to be here. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.880 Come on, you're gonna make it sound like you're working harder. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.760 I'll sell yourself out. You have, you have tying videos 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.600 to make and for the yeah, for the legions of fans. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.840 But anyway, normally on Smooth Moves we have a captain 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.800 or a guide on here venting about some ridiculous thing 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.839 a client has done over the years, and we figure 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.159 this is a good opportunity to sort of reverse roles 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.359 a bit, because you are a well traveled man you 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.440 have fly fished all over the world, fished with tons 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.200 of guides. So today we're gonna flip the coin and 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.520 give you a chance to tell us about the worst 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.360 guide that you ever fish with. The worst guide story. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.920 So you have the Mike Tom all right. You know 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.479 it's a really hard one because you've been in the 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.159 industry as long as I have you, you get heads 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:57.320 up about bad guides, and you know, typically, um, I 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.480 get I get good guys. I mean it's hard for 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:05.560 me to remember a really bad guide. Um Uh, they're 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.480 so much nicer than me. Yeah, I mean, I really, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.640 I mean guys are I mean, guys, these days are 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.760 so great. Um, I think the most disappointing guide trip 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.560 I've ever had John Combs, John Combs orvis Um Rod 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.760 and real designer who's one of my favorite fishing buddies. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.800 That I were down to Florida for the BTT Symposium 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.200 and we got a day with a with a guide 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:37.359 out of Miami, and so we showed up at the 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.360 dock at you know, like eight thirty, which to me 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.320 is you know, half the day's gone. It's gonna say 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.200 it sounds kind of late. Yeah, And I in fish 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.000 Fish game Bay in a long time. He took us 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.600 out there and it was kind of windy and rainy, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.880 and he said, uh, do you mind if I were 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.960 looking for both fishing permit? He said, you know, I 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:03.000 think we should chum today. And I said, well, yeah, 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.640 it'd be kind of fun. You know. Nordinarily I'd say no, 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.160 but it was miserable day, and you know, just let's 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.640 have some fun. Let's chump and see what comes up. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.800 And I think Shaun and I caught a couple of 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:20.279 puffer fish. That was it. We started to see who 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.839 catch the most puffer fish and then that was over 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.279 and he said, boy, it's getting windy out here, and 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.719 we said yeah, yes sort of. He said, that's fishing 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.800 is gonna be very good. And Sean and I you know, 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.320 we we love to fish. We fish hard. I said, well, 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.640 you need places with some lady fish, you know, or 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.599 something we could throw to the late I like lady Yeah, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.159 going to Harvard and throw some lady fish. And we 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.680 went and we caught a couple of lady fish and 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.400 it was about eleven thirty and he said, well, do 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:59.000 you think it's time to call it? And neither Shaan 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.080 nor I said a war or we just kind of 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:07.520 looked at each other and said, w t F. What 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.000 are we going to do for the rest of the day. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.160 Put in a whole three hours of guiding there. Yeah, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.400 and then he took us in and and we asked 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.160 him for a restaurant recommendation where we were staying, and 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.520 so he gave us a restaurant recommendation which was very 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.280 close to the hotel we were staying at. And just 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.920 to top it off, this was and I'm not that 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:37.640 fussy about restaurants, this was the worst restaurant. How can 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.360 you screw up a fish taco? And I had I had, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.960 I had like four margarite is and I swear none 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.920 of them had in the alcohol in it. I kept 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.520 to hope that I'd get a little bit of tequila 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.920 in it. Um. Yeah, So but I have to ask, No, 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.680 did he know who you were, like, who you guys were, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.400 and who you were with and what you do he 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:07.360 was an order guide? Oh no, not any of my doing. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:14.120 But he's no longer person. So I'm compelled to ask, man, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.280 when you were guiding, were you one of those dudes 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.640 that was really hard line about time? Like not that 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.680 I've been on many half day trips, and even though 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.400 I understand that you get what you pay for, it's 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.480 always bothered me a little when it was like, okay, 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.240 we're done, even if the action was fire like, no 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.400 matter what, you know that dude is back to the 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.760 dock by two pm, not to fIF not to two 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.600 pm on the nose, you know, I mean the length 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.720 I will here's what I'll say. The lengths of guide days, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.200 at least for me and a lot of people I know, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.319 correlate with how enjoyable the clients are to be with. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.440 Let's just put it back, like if if I was 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.280 dealing with super obnoxious people who just you know, the 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.680 hours felt like minutes. We hit the ramp at five 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.240 pm at the latest, it was like we're done. Uh. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.120 But you know, if I was enjoying, like if I 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.520 was having a good time fishing with whomever was in 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.800 my boat and we're enjoying our time together, we just 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.920 fish and we got back. When we got back, you know, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.319 it might be dark if fishing was good. That that's 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.160 how I always ran it well, and that's the way 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.760 to play it. I think that's fair. You were one 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:17.880 of the good ones, and I know a lot of 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.120 that's that's what a lot of guys do, which should 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.760 be motivation to not be one of the smooth moves 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.959 people like. The story should not be about you, right, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.000 be cool to your guide. And I'm also sure, unlike 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.080 Tom's guide, you could also recommended damn Good Bar. In fact, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.920 I know you could have more than one. And you 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.480 know who else can recommended damn good Bar. You folks 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.280 at home are dozens of listeners, and we have a 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.040 ringer this week, not even kidding around. Here comes one 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.480 hell of a thrashing nomination for That's My Bar, Best 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.520 God Damn Bar tender from Kim buck to to Portland's 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:59.480 Maine Portland argument for that matter, Today's That's My Bar 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.760 Submissi and comes to us from Nick Silva, and I 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.760 gotta say Nick must have had one hell of a 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.880 freshman English teacher, because he seems to have learned rule 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:13.640 number one for effective writing. Know your audience. Listeners to 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.240 this podcast have probably picked up on the fact that 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.400 both Joe and I are children of the nineties, with 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:22.360 particular sauce spots for metal, punk and hardcore bands from 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.360 that era. Nick clearly picked up on that, which is 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.520 why he knew that he had to send this submission 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.520 for June Lake Brewing. Yeah, I'll just jump in before 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.760 you get to the description, like this one comes with 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.880 whip lash, like the kind of whip lash that a 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.280 lot of us haven't had in fifteen twenty years. Okay, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.640 but it inspired me to kick out some old jams. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.320 And now my neck hurts, so ah, can't turn your 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:49.719 head left it right anymore? Exactly? All right here it is, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.439 here's what Nick sent us. Located in June Lake, California, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:58.240 this brewery is the beer hub of the eastern Sierra Nevadas. 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.720 Everyone from back country years to the old fishing guides 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.240 telling stories about the twenty one pound brown trout and 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.920 silver lake are mingling at the bar. If you show 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.560 up around opening, the server would usually have an Alpine 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.480 lake fly report for you. He starts his day with 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.240 a twelve mile round trip hike up the mountain to fish, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.280 followed by beer shots for whoever is at the brewery 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.600 when they open. Most days they have a rad Slayer 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.079 playlist going on. Visit the restroom to check out. The 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:30.600 employees must carve Slayer into forearms before returning to work. Sticker, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.000 It's so brilliant. Uh, Nick close out of the email 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.360 with a photo of that sticker and uh and if 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.120 you want to see it for yourself, which which you 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.640 should go to either Joe's or my Instagram accounts. That's 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:48.640 at Joe dot Sir Meli one and at water Miles, respectively. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.840 And if anybody knows where to purchase that sticker or 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.400 how even better yet, because sticker shouldn't be purchased, they 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.360 should be free how miles and I can get one 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.840 of those for free, I would just I would just 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.760 love to have that because it's like I've always I've 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.840 been saying it for years. Nothing goes with alpine fly 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.520 fishing like war ensemble cranked up to its Two things 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.079 don't belong in the same sentence. But that's why this 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.280 plays is so great. And I gotta say to the 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.360 the to the brewery owner, UM good for that he 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.240 can drink as much beer as he wants, because if 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.840 he's hiking twelve miles a day to fish alpine trout, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.320 he can do all the taste. Like he's not couch tripping, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.679 so it's not gonna make him fat. Like that's that's terrific. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.160 That's the thing. Man like even if it weren't for 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.199 the metal band references, which which clearly I appreciated this, 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.199 this one would be able to make a strong case 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.600 for a near perfect bar for me. Fresh brewed beer, 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:46.960 check backcountry skiing and skiers, check fishing guides my people. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.400 Check a bartender who fishes alpine lakes in the morning 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.680 and gives beer shots in the afternoon. Done. This one 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.599 is like top of my list right now. It'd be 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.880 worth flying out there just just to feel like I 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.800 belong for the first time, and because I just it 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.679 just takes me back to my bar hopping days, with 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.240 the digital jukeboxes where you put your money in but 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.160 the que could be backed up so you might not 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.480 hear your songs for a while. Me and my boys 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.280 would be in these bars, would be like bit in 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.240 the jams and then I kicking the wheel in the 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.320 sky and an hour later Angel of Death would just 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.920 drop in. But the bartenders could manipulate those digital jukeboxes, 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.480 and I don't know how many times a bartender would 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.280 be like nope, Like the whole bar would be like, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.839 come on, so this is this, this is where I belong, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:35.240 This is where we belong. But listen, Nick fabulous submission. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.800 You guys have been doing a tell of a job 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.320 sending this bar nominations and we appreciate them very very much. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.880 Please keep them coming so we could nominate your favorite 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.240 fishy watering holes. Send those two bent at the meat 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.920 eater dot com. Have you ever been to a Slayer show? 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:59.960 Sadly no Pantera. Yes, huh see, I've been to a few. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.040 In terms of mosh pits and just general audience aggression, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.400 I found the Slayer shows to be completely brutal, and 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.840 that's I'm jealous of you. I did not know you 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.319 had seen Pantera because I never got to see Pantera. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.320 But I've heard that a Pantera show was just the 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.160 next level of brutal. What it made Slayer look like 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.080 romper Room, But unfortunately I never got to see him live. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.560 Chaos Man pure cast I saw. I saw Pantera on 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.320 the Vulgar Display of Power Tour. Yeah. I heard it 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.080 was like scary, Like even if you were a hardass 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.720 metal dude, you're like Panters that there there there ship's scary. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.560 It was. It was next level, like there were no rules. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.120 You could if you could get to the front, you 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.440 could climb up on stage and stage dive like whatever 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.560 whatever you were brave enough to do was legit. It 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.920 was the most brutal mosh scene of all time. But 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.680 you know what else is brutal? I have a feeling 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:59.320 I do know. Tell me Lance V. That's what's brutal. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.640 But as brutal as I find his name Jabber to be. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.320 We just keep kidding these questions and feedback about the guy. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.680 The topic he's covering this week in Trolling with Lance 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.160 does at least show that he has a human side. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.320 I mean, his heart may look like those autopsy pictures 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.480 of Smoker's lungs, but at least he has one and 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.320 we know that now. So here's a tender, somewhat lifetime 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.760 made for TV movie moment on how Lance deals with 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:34.120 the price of fame, the land, to the boats, to 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.280 the like, to the seating up the n on net, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:46.360 but the boy lands, Oh lot, peradadors. It's me, your buddy, Lance, 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.280 be here to cancel you on your journey to Internet fishing. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.200 Start um. We've been getting a ton of questions from you, guys, 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.040 many of whish made me feel so bad for you 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.520 that I shot Monster Rehab out of my nose from 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.160 laughing hysterically, But since I consider myself a faith he er, 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.120 I shall not judge. Keep those questions coming to Bent 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.320 at the Mediator dot com. This week's question comes from 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.840 Dan W, who writes that douchebag online fishing trol y'all 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.160 put on was horrible. Please never do that again, though, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.720 I'm wondering how he handles getting recognized on the water. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.960 As my YouTube channel is nearing a hundred and twenty 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.960 nine subscribers, this is a concern I have for myself. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.000 A terrific question, Dan. Part of being a successful internet 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.200 angler is giving the impression you only fish where the 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.960 common folk don't. At this point in my career, Indiana 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.640 Jones couldn't figure out where the guy fish. But I'm 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.840 gonna assume you're still fishing the parking lot of the 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.840 same county puddle you've gone to for your entire life. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.680 So here's what to do when a fan approaches you 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.800 and says, O, MG, are you Dan W from Fishing 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.760 Adventures with Dan W. Oh my god, I can't believe 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.840 you fish? Are you say? I don't really fish here. 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.680 I'm just field testing a new lure or rod. Decide 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.800 if it's worth taking the brand on as a sponsor, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.080 and this toilet bowl happened to be on the way 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.800 to the airport hashtag business class. Or you can go 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.960 to the nostalgic route and say I used to fish 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.840 here when I was a kid. We used to catch 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.119 seven pound hogs left and right. But I see this 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.480 place has gone to total ship. I just swung in 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.240 because I have time to kill before the new lexus 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.080 I bought. My mom gets a liver to her house 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.680 hashtag where do your mother? In either case, the objective 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.000 is to make the fan understand you're actually too good 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.760 to be fishing this spot, thereby inferring he or she 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.520 is a complete loser. I hope this was helpful, Dan 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.960 and allows you to reclaim the serenity you seek instead 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.240 of constantly feeling like the guy who played the liquid 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.800 Terminator walking around comic Con. Hashtag shoot for the moon. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:39.679 If you miss, you'll land among the stars. Hashtag that 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.080 was terrible advice. Hashtag I can't believe we're contractually obligated 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.199 to have him on the show. Hashtag looks forget that 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.600 just happened, and move on to fish news right now. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:56.800 Fish news that escalated quickly, so I want to kick 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.280 this off with a few fan shout outs. Not long 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.800 ago I covered a little news piece on the famed 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.560 mullet toss in Florida, where drunk people throw dead bait 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.359 fish cross state lines, and Miles and I had questions 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.879 in particularly what were the rules for for throwing and 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.720 can you say craft a slingshot or trebor sche perhaps 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.600 and as predicted you find people provided the answer. Frank 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.639 Williams wrote in to say, you have to throw it, 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.560 but you can throw it however you feel. However you 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.160 feel it never feels right to you whatever that fish 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.040 speaks to you and says, throw me like this exactly. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.680 And he says there's a board at the at the 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.199 mullet toss demonstrating the most common ways. I could not 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.280 find that, but did learn it cost fifteen bucks to 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:44.800 throw them. Allett pop, which begs more questions byd was 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.800 gonna I was gonna say, which begs more questions like 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:53.960 what if I bring my own mullet comedy and exactly, 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.600 And and then follow that up, we got a note 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.000 from Grant Russell in Australia, so that's now pushing like 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.880 half dozen Australian fans and you wrote, I don't want 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.640 to be one of those one upsman kind of guys, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.600 but I thought i'd bring your attention to the tuna 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:09.159 tossing event at the Tuna Rama Festival in Port Lincoln, Australia, 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.199 because the Aussies are just more manly than Yes, I 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.320 said you would level it up thesses. But apparently Grant 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.000 says they held a fake tune of these days, weighing 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.160 twenty two pounds, real tuna are no longer being thrown, imagine, 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.119 much to the delight of the seafood buyers from Japan 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.520 who have stood outside protesting the event for decades, hundreds 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:34.160 of signs saying please save the tune of parentheses for us. Anyway, 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.359 So let's get into news and remember, kids, this is 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.760 a competition. Miles and I do not know which stories 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.600 the other dude has and are awesome. Engineer Phil will 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.120 declare a news victor at the end. And now I'm 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.440 scared because for the first time last week we overlapped, 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.120 we crossed stories and I crushed you. Yes you did, 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.639 and it was traumatic all around. It was it was 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.080 kind of an awkward moment I was bound to happen. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.879 It took twelve episodes, but now I'm on edge, especially 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.560 considering I'm kicking off with a story out of Montana. Yeah, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.960 but you got the leadoff man, You're you're, you're, You're 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.960 sitting pretty on this one, I know. But do you 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.960 have a story out of Montana? I'm not telling you. 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.119 I feel I feel good about my record of overlap 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.520 right now, so I'm just gonna hold tight with that one. 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.080 Fair enough, fair enough. So um. This is from the 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.560 website of the Helena Independent Record headlold on, hold on, 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.639 hold on, hold on? How did you just pronounce our 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.879 state capital Helena? There we go, all right, moving on, 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:40.600 I said Helena, definitely not Helena anyway. From the website 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.320 of the Helena Independent Record headline Montana proposes ban on 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.640 fishing with drones and remote control boats. First of all, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.680 shame on you. Is this what you guys are doing 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.960 out there? No big big cutty on a stone fly 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.919 my ass. You're pulling the maps behind an RC cigarette 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:04.320 boat and I've just outed all of you. Finally, I 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:08.040 wish I could be that cool. No. Yeah, so I 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.600 am very glad. So I'm aware of this, this this passage, 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.560 and I'm very happy about it for the record, like 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.520 we can, we can riff on it and make jokes, 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.880 but uh, it's part of a broader sort of move 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.200 that they're doing with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.480 outlaw drones for fishing, hunting, all kinds of stuff, and 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.159 I'm I'm all for it. Oh, this is gonna be 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.159 an interesting back and forth then, because I have I 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:30.080 have a slightly different take, and this is why we 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.439 work well together. So from the story, the state of 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.119 Montana is asking the public to weigh in on whether 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.040 drones and remote control boats should be banned for fishing, 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.879 and the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission recently advanced for 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.480 public comment a proposal prohibiting the use of drones and 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:49.720 r C boats to place bait or lures, troll or 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.560 hook and land fish. The proposal also bars using the 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.159 devices to search for fish that are then cast two 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.120 with a rotten reel. So apparently game wardens in your 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.399 state have been getting more and more questions regarding the 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.040 legality of drones in our C boats for fishing. Now, Interestingly, 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:08.919
