WEBVTT - Ep. 69: Nice Carp-skie There, Bud 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:08.240 I flew all the way to the Keys to catch 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.719 my first amberjack on my new slow pitched chicken rod, 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:12.680 and shark bet him in half. And that's not fair. 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.120 You right to found uh Lake st Clair there because 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.200 you said they're too easy to catch out there. But 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.360 that don't matter. Still fun frick to catch. I do 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.079 him two swabs up my nose and touch my brain 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.000 to get up to Canada to ice fish this winter. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:27.680 And I came back at the end of the day 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.720 and she had prinked o Taylor Swift photos and put 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.199 them all over my guide jack room. Good morning to 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.960 generate anglers, And welcome to Bent, the fishing podcast that 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.600 once got pulled over by a mounte for blasting closer 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.680 to the heart too loudly a little too close to 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.320 the four way moose crossing. I'm Joe Surmelie and I'm 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:50.360 Hayden Samac And do I detect a hint of Oh Canada? 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.640 Why else? Why else would you bother referencing Rush if 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.440 you weren't going to talk about Canada? You know what 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:02.120 I mean? I hate rush Man, I hate I hate 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.520 prog in general. I hate yes, like if I liked 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.319 watching assholes do math in front of a bunch of nerds. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:14.679 I'd have stayed in college. Oh come on, man, say 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:22.240 Getty Lee. Who's Getty Lee? Getty Lee? Best base player ever? Cood? No, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.600 truth be told. I'm not really in the rush either. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.560 I'm not a big fan, but I am into Canada right, 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.200 And we haven't checked in with Canada in a while, Like, 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.959 we have lots of friends and listeners up there, and um, 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.320 the last time we heard from one was in the 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.440 Nibbles and SIPs and I was just braided for saying 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.200 the name of a hockey trophy incorrectly. Like that's why 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.600 I could voice memo. You couldn't find it within yourself 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:51.400 to correctly pronounce Stanley. No, no, man, it was some 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.040 obscure trophy. Damn it. It wasn't the Stanley Cup. Um. Anyway, 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:01.000 have you ever fished in Canada? Uh? You know I haven't. Uh, 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.680 But they're like, that's not to say I'm not like 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.920 interested in it. There's a bunch of ship that I'd 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.800 like to do up there, like you know, obviously like 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:14.120 BC Salmon and Steele, Atlantics and Nova Scotia. I would 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.639 love to do uh those like big old like ten 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.919 pound Brookies and Labrador Yeah, yeah, I've I've done the Atlantic, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.120 so I scratched that. But the Labrador Brookies, man, I 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.079 want to do that very badly too. I have not 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.920 gotten there yet. And I remember, um, I guess it 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.840 was a couple of years ago now when when Orvis 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.919 dropped that video of those massive brookies up there hammering 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.760 my master spooner flat. I was like, well, that's just terrible, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.480 Like had it been for me, you probably wouldn't be 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.160 catching those. Tom Rosenbauer and I didn't get invited, so whatever. Yeah. Man, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.320 it's kind of like people skating for steel head, Like 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.239 I never get tired of watching like brookies hit huge 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.840 top water bugs like midday. That would be of course, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.240 not that would be wild. I mean, that's that's truly 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.120 a bucket list thing. Um. You know, honestly, I just 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.120 love to, like I can't believe I'm gonna say this, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.840 but to the surprise of many listeners, I would just 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.120 love to walleye fish up in Canada, like you know, 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.800 one of those smaller lakes, just like loaded with like 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.519 eater size fish, most because of the flas Hey, man, 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.639 don't be sorry, that works too. And I just want 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.880 to point out to the Bent fans, I hope you 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.400 were listening, because now there is a pro Walleye person 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.760 here every week, you can no longer say that both 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.679 Bent host dislike Walleye. Um. Yeah, and nothing wrong with 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.800 that at all. And then there's there's so much water 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.920 up there, so much unspoiled water compared to down here 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.720 in a lot of ways. Um. Anyway, if you were 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.880 headed up to one of those eater walleye lakes are 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.640 wonderful sponsors. Thirteen fishing could definitely get you more of 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.360 them to eat faster, especially on hard water. Tis the season, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.880 I might suggest the micro magic Man, which is a 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.440 tiny one in lipless crank and even though it's tiny, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.880 it's loud as hell. Okay, rattle them right in like 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.560 a big Buck man. What do you know about rattling 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:10.560 in big Bucks? Absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever. Uh, thank you anyway. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.600 So why the Canadian theme? Why here? Why now? Okay, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.960 because we've got some big news um out of Canada 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.359 to share with you guys. But I'm gonna let the 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.640 man responsible for that big news tell you what's up. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.680 So let's fire up a little covering water segment with 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.960 our old pal and brother from the north, Ja Siemens, 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:44.280 I'm going in. I hold it all right, joining us 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.360 today for covering water are old pal Ja Siemens. J. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.040 You've not been here in a while. How the heck 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.479 are you? Man? It's been a minute. It's it's been good. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.680 It's winter now. It's all I see is white looking 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.240 at my office. And uh, it went from open water 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.840 season ice fishing season in a hurry. Yeah, it's still 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.440 open water here and I'm still very okay with that. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.440 But um yeah, a little further north than we are. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.520 So I tee it up that you are here for 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.160 a very specific reason today. You have an announcement to make. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.960 I wanted us to make it together. Something is happening 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.120 today on the meat eat or YouTube channel. What is 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.320 that we got? Uh, we got a new series drop 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.279 and called The Canadian Angle. Something I've been chipping away 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.880 out over the summer and it's gonna be a phishing 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.320 series I'm hosting on the Mediator YouTube channel and m 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.920 kind of the play on words on the Canadian Angle 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.880 is me being a videographer but then also the angling 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.480 side and being a Canadian. So I love it, man, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.080 It's very smart. It's like pet smart. Is it pets 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.479 smart or pet smart? Like we don't actually know, um. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.440 But yeah, man, So I've been really excited about this. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.720 I'm really pumped that you are officially doing your own 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.839 series now with Meat Eater UM episode one today. What 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.560 are we looking at for episode one? Episode one? UM 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.880 doing something unique? We went from kind of the food 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.520 chain in the springtime. But you normally you go to 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.320 the tackle store, you buy your leeches, and you go 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.200 walleye fishing, right, But now I wanted to take it 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.760 back a couple of steps. So we started off by 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.440 going to the creeks in the spring as they're thawing 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.120 and the sucker start running up the creeks. I know 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.440 you just recently did a sucker video. So we started 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.600 by netting some suckers and then from that chunked them up. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.680 I learned the art of leeching, so trapping leeches, which 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.320 is something I've never done before. So I have a 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.760 buddy in town here that is a commercial leech trapper, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.320 so he brought me along. We use those suckers we caught, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.840 went and set traps for leeches. Came back the next 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.600 day there was leeches in our traps and then I 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.880 finished it off by going walleye fishing on Lake of 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.480 the Woods. So it's it's pretty cool showing how much 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.120 work goes into getting the leeches, and then it's kind 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.040 of the full full cycling things. Yeah, man, I mean 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.520 that's a new one for me. I've never really given 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.320 much thought to how the leeches end up in the 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.240 tackle shop. I don't know anything about that. I understand 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.000 why why you can pay so much of them. I 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.960 understand why they're sixty bucks a pound. It's like, yeah, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.479 because you've seen how much work goes into doing that. Now. Yeah, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.520 well so dude, I'm I'm very excited for it. We've 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.000 we've had you one, We've done tackle hacks with you. 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.479 We've done i think multiple smooth moves with you, the 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.719 one where you sunk your boat that was a classic. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.360 But we have not had you here yet for covering water. Um, 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.880 this is a little bit different than what we've done 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.440 in the past. Hayden, What tell j what what covering 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.160 water is all about? All right, So here's how covering 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.680 water works. We're gonna put two minutes on the clock 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.640 and rapid fire some questions at you and basically intentionally 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.200 give you no time to answer. You can't think. You 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.720 just got to react. And at the end we'll give 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.920 you one full minute to expand on any answer that 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.400 you like. We whichever answer you know was the biggest mistake, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.240 you can try and explain it away or completely retracted 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.400 if you like, Yeah, you can just make it go away. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.000 So and I also I should point out there, like 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640 the last few covering waters, I put two minutes on 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.600 the clock, but I don't know why because we we 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.760 always go over two minutes just because we're having such 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.760 a good time. But I think the whole point here 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.240 is to sort of um, you know, the fire some 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.400 things out there that will show us the wishing and 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.640 the non fishing side of jay siemens, which is good 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.200 now because we want people to love you on the 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.400 Canadian angle even more so if you're feeling good, we 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.760 will we will begin. So I mean to put two 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.320 minutes on the clock here, and Hayden, I'm going to 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:21.600 start and let's go now. Is modern technology making ice 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.240 fishing too easy? No? What is the weirdest non target 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:31.880 species you've ever caught? Oh? An eel? Okay? Do trolled 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:38.080 muskies count? Yes? Absolutely? When is the last time you 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:44.520 threw a daredevil oh man, probably seventeen years. Yeah, but 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.200 I bet you throw a lot of five of diamonds 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.160 right once in a while, once in a while. Right 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.720 there you go. Okay, finish this sentence. The band rush 0:08:52.000 --> 0:09:01.200 is uh before my time. Finish the sentence. I have 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:10.480 no desire to fish for oh um, microfish, for minnows. People. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.400 Books have been written about it, volumes. I'm like, come on, 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.240 all right, okay, in your free time, would you rather 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.079 catch one trophy walleye or a whole mess of yellow 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:25.800 perch trophy walleye? There you go. It's your career has 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.760 taken a major turn and you have become the biggest 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:34.360 Canadian rapper since Drake. Much like Action Bronson raps about food, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.480 you rap about fishing. What is your rap name? Your 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:43.680 rap name? King Cod? I I did not know that 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.280 question was coming. By the way, anyway, What's what's so 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.280 good about Tim Horton's anyway, They're always open for fisherman, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.760 open around the clock. Name an underrated fish for the 0:09:55.760 --> 0:10:02.640 frying pan um, freshwater drum A good one, good one? Okay. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.880 The number one species still on your bucket list is 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:11.560 GT Janer Valley, me too, man, mullet or bowl cut? 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.360 What was the second one? Bowl cut? Oh? Bowl cut? 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.960 I like the mullet for sure. There you go. Who 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:24.120 is the greatest musky angler of all time? Mike Lazarus? Okay? 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.760 Have you ever gone all in on a piece of 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.840 gear or a technique only to have it proved to 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.600 be a fad? And if so, what was it? Oh man? 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.600 I feel like that's half the musky bits I own 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.200 right on? All right, see if you remember this one? 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.800 What was the last CD you purchased? Not music you downloaded, 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:53.199 physical CD you purchased? Oh man, probably Taylor Swift? Okay, alright, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:54.880 alright when we got a time for one more hit? 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.679 And hit him with one more? What is the most 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:02.280 overrated lure in your opinion? Over rated lure? And? Oh man, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.160 that is a fantastic question. I think I think it's 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:16.080 the five diamonds? Really? Oh? No, way, a controversial because 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.520 that is a controversial one. Yeah, okay, that's interesting. So 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.280 that's the most overrated lure of all time? Well? Do 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.480 you that jokes about it? Because I just posted a 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.320 picture on Instagram with my biggest pike ever on a 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.520 five of diamonds, but in the same Yeah, it's that's 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.240 a that's a big one. Oh. I gotta say, having 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.280 spent enough time in Canada pike lodges, it's like your 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.800 average owner, I feel like in a lot of these 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.880 places is just like five of diamonds, five of diamonds. Five. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.040 It's like all they throw and I'm like, this is 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.040 a good spoon. But there's a lot more out there 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.960 than the five of diamonds, right, alright, alright, So so 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:51.040 Joe kind of forced you into extrapolation on on that answer. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.680 Now you got one minute to choose one. Yeah, man, 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.840 So anyone you want, we'll give you. We'll give you 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.200 a minute to to expand on any one of those answers. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.839 Oh man, let me think about which one was given 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.959 given our audience. I might suggest the Taylor Swift one, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.200 but that's probably not the one that you want to do. No, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.080 I can talk about Taylor. No, I'm kidding, fan, whichever 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.960 one you want. There was a fit when I guid it. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.840 I was sixteen years old guiding at the first lodge, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.440 the lodge that I sunk that boat at, and I 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.720 mentioned to one of the girls in camp that I 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.960 was a Taylor Swift fan and I came back at 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.400 the end of the day and she had printed out 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.640 Taylor Swift photos and put them all over my guide 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:35.040 shack room. So I never really lived that one down. Yeah, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.120 but in fairness, I'll give you one more, any any 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.880 any any other ones you want to tell us more 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.560 about the ice fishing. Is ice fishing getting too easy? 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.440 I think it's growing the sport more than anything. I 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.520 think you know now shocks from going to non thermal 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.240 now they're thermal shack so you don't need as big 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.120 of a heater, you don't need like as much propane, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.319 so it makes it easier to get on in the 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.600 cold days. Electronics is getting better, which uh you know it. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.319 It keeps people more engage. If you can have a 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.400 kid starting underwater camera, I think that's better than them 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.960 staring at their phone in the shack. Right. All those 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.120 things is making ice fishing so accessible. And that's the 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.000 big thing with ice fishing is you don't need an 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.480 eighty thousand dollar boat about to get into it acts 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.760 and you get even here, three shack and a heater. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.480 You can fish in any conditions on any size lake. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.240 And uh, I mean obviously you can add to that 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.400 and get a snowbile and all those other toys. But yeah, 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.160 it's becoming more accessible than every and that's why the 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.720 sports growing so fast. And I think that's a great answer, man. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.199 And that's the side of it that I think people 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.760 overlook that you know, everybody loves to gripe about while 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.280 it's like playing a video game now, it's just too easy. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.400 You don't have to put the work in. But you're right, like, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.200 we need people to keep fishing going forward in the future. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.080 And if that is what's going to engage people to 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.920 get out there and enjoy that more, that's that's one 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.880 reason why it is definitely not a bad thing. Um 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.640 so what are we're gonna see what kind of technology 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.360 you're busting out on the Canadian Angle? Round one, Round one, 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.679 little little side scan man, there's a little bit of 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.959 there's a little bit of live scope, but it's a 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.120 little bit. It's at a little bit later on techno. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.440 I think I think season two, I shouldn't even be 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.120 talking about Season two. No, no no, we're breaking the rules. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.040 We can't talk I know a little bit about Season two. 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.040 We can't talk about that yet. We can't talk we'll 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.040 just get through season all. I just want to say, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.160 Season one ends with one of my favorite fish of 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.960 the season, so you gotta you gotta watch through right 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.320 till the end. But uh yeah, I'm I'm excited for 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.280 the ending fish for season one. Dude. They will keep watching. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.520 I will keep reminding them this was a lot of fun. Man. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.520 I'm so pumped to have the Canadian Angle launching today. Um. 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.120 I know that's running for at least four weeks, yeah, 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.720 four weeks, um, But dude, this has been a blast. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.880 And maybe maybe down the road, you know, I'd love 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.320 to have you in a B side. Maybe I'll be 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.560 in the Canadian Angle. We'll see, But I know everybody 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.320 wants to put me on the ice. I know I'll 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:50.040 get there, I promise. So again, the Canadian Angle drops today. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.520 You definitely need to check that out. Maybe I'll even 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.720 be in one with Jay down the road. Who knows, right, Um, 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.160 but man, he is. Jay is just a terrific angler, 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.000 and I'm so excited that he's doing some official work 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.280 with the Meat Eater. Yeah. He's also just like a 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.560 really really nice fella, like like that guy that your 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.400 grandma would meet and would afterwards to be your Your 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.600 friend is such a nice young man. Yeah, yeah, totally, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.600 well he is. Man. We've said on this show that 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.880 that Canadians are just generally nicer people than us, and 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.440 I'm gonna I'm about to further that notion. Can we 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.040 do if you don't mind, we do a quick voice memo. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.560 I don't think we need to make this an entire 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.280 Nibbles and SIPs segment, but I want to play it 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.800 only well. I mean it's callers from Canada, right obviously, 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.880 of course, yes, yes, yes, yeah, So this comes from 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.400 north of the border and it was sent to me 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.560 by at nerf Work boys, so I'm thinking that's North 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.360 Fork nerf Work. I love that. Um and and he 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.200 says his name is Cletus, which may or may not 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.120 be an alias, but he's very nice. So let's listen 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:58.240 real quick. Oh hey there, this is cleats up from 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.440 Nerfer County in Canada. I got carp story too for you. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.640 It starts selling musky fishing on Lake Sint Clair there, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.560 and I know that U you ain't too fund uh 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.320 Lake St. Clair there, because you say they're too easy 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.880 to catch out of there, But that don't matter. Still fun, 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.560 it's bricked to catch. So we was on the fall 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.800 fishing them in the river mouth there and uh, guy, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:26.160 I'm throwing these big rubber dogs. I hooking to a monster. 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.440 That's what I think, at least they and uh, we're 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.680 fighting him for like ten fifteen minutes. All the boats 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.640 around us are like, oh, my goodness, is a fifty inchur. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.280 So I get her up boat side and nod to 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.880 think where she's a fifty inchurer? But guess what she 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.520 ain't She a big old carp. She's the biggest carp 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.440 I ever did see a big old rubber lips bigger 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.600 than big enough to make any old European carp fisherman 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:54.640 blush bad. So uh yeah, big old carp Lake St. Clair. 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.320 Didn't catch any musky, And uh that's my nibbles and 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.360 SIPs for you. We'll see if she gets on there. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.600 But so you just have a great old day there 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.040 all right now? Oh yeah, thank you Bud Well clean 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.840 us from the great Northern uh the great north Woods. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.760 What did you say? Well, yeah, but he's not that 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.680 far north. If he's fishing St. Clair, he's got to 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.720 be right outside Detroit, so he's not like you know, 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.080 the but it reminds me of me and my buddy 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.440 David Uh. We used to have this gag whenever we'd 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.800 go ice fishing. We go by the alias is Ourselves 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:31.240 of Cletus and Jebediah. And every time, yeah, every time 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.159 I tip up, will go off. Please go, get go, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.439 get out on that tipple right now. I bet that 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.640 didn't get annoying happening all day long, all day Well, 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.680 I'll tell you what, man, you're drinking of beer. Man, 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.480 it just gets funnier and funnier. I love how he 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.360 takes a very backhanded shot at you for saying that 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.240 you don't like the same Claire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.679 I know which is it's not true, Okay. I have 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.679 suggested in the past that St. Clair has a reputation 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.879 for being the easiest place to catch muskies. But I 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.719 didn't give it that reputation. Damn it. Like I didn't 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.399 make that up. That's a that's a known thing in 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.840 muskie circles, especially if you're trolling, which a lot of 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.560 people do there. Like the guy who's never spent hours 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.760 breaking his wrist throwing a double cow girl gets his 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.760 fifty there and he's like got it. I'm like no, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.840 you didn't. You got it, but you didn't earn it. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.600 You know what I'm saying. Musky fishing is interesting to me, 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.560 but like as much as I am, I guess you'd 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:36.240 say fly fishing inclined. I much rather do muskies conventional. 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.720 Oh yeah, you're and you're a very smart man. You're 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:43.000 smarter for that, um totally. I Lord knows, I've learned 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.159 that fly fishing for muskies anyway. I gotta say I 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.160 got such a kick out of this voice memo there. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.879 But because this has happened to me, I am not 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.040 a muskie zealot. I chased them time to time. And 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.080 there's a lake not far from me at all that 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.960 is classified as a trophy musky lake. I fished it 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.040 probably a dozen times over the years, never seen a muskie, 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.679 never moved a muskie. But the last time I was 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.040 out there, I got thumped and this fish was not small. 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.439 And I'm full on, like my buddy lunges for the 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.679 net game on this is it finally pound carp with 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.399 the glide bait in its back. That was it. That 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.600 was the last time I ever fished that lake looking 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.400 for a muskie. What I'm saying, yeah, Yeah, no, I 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.240 can definitely see how that would be a little bit 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.840 of a kick in the ass. Um. You know, my 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.639 leg sort of running joke out here is like is 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.240 it the fish of the day or is it another 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.640 ass hooked whitefish? You know what I mean exactly? Yes, 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.240 speaking of a of a little kick in the ass, 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.160 I'm about to deliver another one when I beat you 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.440 in a weekly competition we like to call fish news. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:57.400 Fish news. That escalated quickly, so not really much housekeeping 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.040 this week. Um. The only thing I got what I 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:04.320 was called out on a mispronunciation, and I'd like to 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.280 rectify that if I may. Uh in our our last 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.119 that's my bar. We covered Eagle Valley Resort in what 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.800 I said was posh, Nevada, and that was supposed to 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:21.520 be pronounced poh shit, posh poch. I still don't really 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:28.240 know how to pronounce pos pos posh, that's what posh. Interestingly, 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.359 if you talk to Remy Warren, he will probably also 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:37.880 reprimand you for saying Nevada if you are from that area. Nevada, Nevada. Yeah, 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.919 you know. Now that's been the same guy hit me 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:41.560 on that too, and I was like, I don't care 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.840 that much about it as a dude who regularly fails 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.840 to pronounce ship that he reads, I feel your pain 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.720 and I'm I'm here for you. Man. Yeah, it's not 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.040 a big deal. It's gonna happen, but but I feel 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.240 like I have to say what happened. So posh is 0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.480 spelled p I O C h E, and listener end Parks, 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.439 who sent the submission even spelled it out phonetically from 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:09.840 my dumbmass, but he wrote p dash oh dash with like. 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.359 So looking at it again now I see that he 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.600 meant it to be po but like, in a moment 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.320 of haste, because I'm always juggling four things, I took 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.320 it at face value and just read it as posh, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.040 as in posh pie you know who was inferior to 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:32.360 Ginger your spice. So sorry, Nevada, Nevada, I apologize. I 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:34.119 I could see how you would make that mistake. I 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.600
