Fishing Adjacent

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.

The person you're trying to reach
is not available at the tone.

Please record your message
when you have finished recording.

You may hang up.

Let me know which boat ramp.

Maybe with the 20 minutes of daylight

we have left and we can just.

Park in our cars and.

Just sit there for.

For 15 minutes.

And then,

I don't know.

I got a couple beers before.

We'll.

I'm getting gas.

He's not going to check it anyways.

Yo, yo.

What's up?

Sorry, I was on the truck. I'm
on. Yeah. No worries.

I'm getting gas right now, and.

Yeah.

Fuckin.

I don't know, dude.

What do you.

I mean, I'm.

I was just leaving a
message saying we could just

park at the boat ramp and sit

in our separate cars for a little bit,
and then go home.

Rob? Why not?

I brought my non mail bro thing.

Fuck, dude,

I need a zero.

I'll. I'll get practiced.

I mean, I'm I'm a good shot.

We need to get that timing down
so that we can do what we gotta be.

Perfect. Perfect.

Fucking perfect.

Dude,
we actually just need to rig some device.

It's, like, on a string.

And when you, like, hit
the one foot pedal.

They both go, hey.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

In opposite directions,
you just press the button,

but yep.

So what do you want to do section wise?

Where do you want to meet?

When you said

floating past the dough, did you mean like
you want to fish water downstream of it

or you want to go by the mouth
specifically?

I mean, well, I honestly, I was I had
thought about both because I was like,

you know,

like I was talking to Houston,
like two weeks.

Hey, they're they're all loaded up
right at the mouth of the dough

because the water was cleaner. Yeah.

And I hadn't got down there weight fish.

That was my first solid, like, oh,

maybe they're still all hanging around
and around that section of river.

And that's the only place
where they're getting any clean juice.

Maybe. Stoney, I don't know.

But then I was also like, well,
the water downstream of that

should theoretically be cleaner versus
the upstream portion of it.

Yeah. Plus,

pending that, the water coming in
right now is clean, right?

Right. Which was yeah.

So I don't know, I was my first thought
was that I, you know, it's

the time of year of a fish move up river
or you know, theoretically move up river.

Not sure that it's happening right now.

Right. Or not.

But I mean, fuck, I always love lovers.

To to to Blevins.

But I don't know, my other
thought was like, you can put in there.

It in the flat. It's fine.

So I am and then float down to lover's.

Yeah, I do, I think,

I just know that those motherfuckers
all, like,

when they fucking rip reds,
they all fish Stoney Creek there and.

Yeah.

No, I know there's a
there's a couple of those good.

Good zones where the.

They own it assuming that they're,

they're on the move and getting ready to

do the dance I thought was also like,
fuck man.

With the lack of bugs over there,
if there's any of those giant

mega megalodon resident fish that like,

they rip off reds and they're like
the true fucking Hammer Jones.

Yeah, dude, fucking

they got to be hungry, bro.

Yeah.

Haven't got shit like there's I,
you know, like compared to

what the fuck's
going off on the South coast and we don't

I mean, we're still walking like 2
or 3 times a week down at ballpark there.

Yeah.

And like, I mean,
it's like marginally getting cleaned up,

but there's fucking no clothes
anywhere in that area.

I don't know, maybe there's bugs
going off somewhere else, but like,

I think because of the light penetration
being so low.

Hell yeah, I maybe.

Yeah.

No, maybe they got choked out with like,
silk.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I mean I'll see a couple here
and there, but,

I think those bugs just go go down into

some sort of dormant,

like, they,

they don't want to come up in that,
that muddy water.

I also like,

I don't know, like,
I know they have a brand like fucking like

I feel like
if they would fucking throw a stone

and start rocking water,
the lake might cycle through.

Yeah, dude, I had the exact same thought.

But I'm like, fuck,
if we're going to run like the bone below.

And it's like, I feel like super fucking
well, well, cause there's that lake,

there's the impact of,

That as the lake drops out the

like the river drops lower,

right? Right.

Yeah. True.

Which is kind of like I haven't

I haven't done a great job of

making sense of that.

Like mechanically.

But it, it literally fucking is the case.

So I need to stop saying that it isn't

pointing to.

It's like,

you know, with the turnover
going on temperature wise.

Plus like I just don't want to honestly,
like you told me that their water flowing

through the water
because of the turbidity of the water

with cleaning at like point six,
2.7 particles per million per day.

So just like, holy fuck,
it's not really getting clean at all.

Like, you know, it's not.

Yeah, that's not like runoff clearing up.

No. And I was like, Holy fuck.

Like the amount of guilt
that must've gotten dumped into what?

Yeah, man,

they just the cloud float. Fuck.

You just can't stay in or what? Yeah. No.

And the weather feels spicy.

They. It feels real.

Real fucking spicy.
Dude, it's a full moon, too.

But maybe it maybe overall one of those,
like, true.

Like fucking camera dogs. Yep.

Yeah.

Don't feel

like a crafting changer.

That's what I'm. That's what I'm saying.

Dude, I, I was thinking about,
you know, the ceiling.

I think we could,
you know, we could get some activity

in the south for,
like, big springs to Thomas.

What do you

you're basically,

you know, you're fishing like,
half of that, right?

Right.

Because the spawning zone.

Yeah. I,

you know, same with that top section two.

And I'm just like the amount of boats
that are going through that river relative

to what the, what targets for right now.

Like there
might be some fucking high down.

So I just plain and the stupidest why ever

because it's
fucking pushed around every day right now.

Yeah.

Well plus dude they're they're fucking
they hang out there in low muddy water

mid-summer.

Right. Right.

Yeah. I don't know, like,

I just feel like the longer the mud stays,

the more the fishing has to, like,
balance out.

Because at some point you.

Well, I also here's a,

here's a little observation

in part, part of this like puzzle of.

How much we understand it,
whether or not it makes a difference,

I don't I'm not really sure
I'm there yet, but,

what I have observed is that when it

when the turn it
when turnover is happening,

do that water

like the the release.

When that comes through man it's.

I'll use a couple years ago as Yeah.

Two years ago is a great example.

This guy.

Got a 21 inch.

I told you about the,
the one kid who got the 21 inch or,

like, in no man's land

as the water was coming up
and then it that year he fished hard

and he fish well and we saw like one
fish over the next five hours.

And then on the fall

in, you know, whatever water down,
you know,

above Persinger kind of, you know,
the Jersey Bluffs area, but nothing.

We weren't like on one of the banks
or anything, like just fish like he's

he moved like 4 or 5 in a matter of 20,
like I just ate in that fall.

So it's like that,
that big water during turnover is like

it's the shut down button.

Right.

But you I wonder like, you know,
when you look at like, tide and salt water

fish and like, all these guys, like,
they're going to fucking

get drunk in the middle of the day
when the tide, you know what I mean?

Like they just want a fish.

The rise or the fall.

They of course now the other it.

Yeah.

That slack tide.

Well I think.

I think that's,

that has a little more

to do with like food movement.

Oh for sure, I just,
I think it's an inviting.

So you're saying what you, your,

your thought is that that high water
because of the turnover due

to like lack of oxygen or whatever
it is, it whatever an inconvenience

about that water at high water,
like full, high water, it's fucking like

a gas chamber. Yes. That's
what I'm saying.

It's it's a, I think it's
I like the way you phrased that.

It's like.

What is inconvenient about that

becomes a gas chamber

because it is ripping water.

So it's like that input output becomes
upside down.

You know, like it

to, you know, like how people wear
a fucking oxygen mask on the treadmill,

right?

Like,
not only are you reducing your breathing,

but your, your
your output needs to be higher.

And it's like a double whammy. Exactly.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Like the water kicks.

Oh, now I have to expend way more energy.

Plus, that was the one.

The quality of the water still sucks.

And if it's, you know, if it's muddy,

then they're

already fucking haunting anyways,

right?

Yeah.

So whatever.

You know.

Yeah, just kind of go, like,
go on through all that.

It's like, do you want to,
you know, move some nice fish and maybe,

maybe catch a good fish

or two on the south?

Olson.

You know, fishing, whatever.

Or, you know what, what I mentioned
earlier, that high percentage,

I thought to myself, I was like,
that sounds so fucking fagot like.

But what I mean by high percentage is,
like, simply the the highest percentage.

He has to move like, the biggest
fucking brand we've ever caught.

That's right. Like I.

You know what I mean? Yeah.

Like a high percentage, like,
oh, let's go move a bunch of 16 or like,

you know,
catch a an 18 on the South Coast.

And it's like, no, we got good weather.

I didn't know about the moon network.

We got fucking really low
ceiling body water.

Like, if they're ever going to
eat a fucking seven inch fly.

I'm also thinking like,

if you're a brass, like a, like,
big, giant, blobby bastard.

Yeah. You you're like,

you're not eating because it's like
everything is like good in the world.

You're eating because, like, your hand is
starting to get forced a little bit,

you know? Correct.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

So like, how can we like

what the big lazy bastards who, like,
normally just fucking sits on the bottom

and sucks in scraps, like, hey, buddy
here like the the dying rainbow, you know.

Yeah.

The shitty water quality
got a myriad for you.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean,

if we were smart,
we'd have a bucket full of shiners

and just throw them down
river in front of us.

Yeah, you.

I mean, with you with, with fucking
travels hanging out of the ass, each one.

Yeah.

Just fucking just throw a trot line
of live shiners out from your

Brian.

Right on those fucking gravel flats
or from storage, dude.

Well, we got,

you know, hook, hook up

some HDMI cables from our phones
to a couple screens,

watch a movie, bring some blankets.

Yeah, I'll bring the fucking griddle area.

Well, okay.

So with that in mind.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess I do kind of like.

Yeah.

Fuck it dude, let's let's do,

let's do Siam

to lovers.

Like two minutes from lovers right now.

All right.

I'm a little farther out, but I'll.

I'll pick you up at Lover's.

I'll get good dog sounds lit.

I'll hit up Jeffrey Epstein in The Boy.

All right. Dude,

I actually should make that analogy.

I like to have a lot of
I to come up with the new.

And Jeffrey Dahmer is just as bad. Yeah.

Terrible first name.

And I'm hated in actuality.

Well, I mean, yeah, that's kind of.

The deal was sealed recently.

Basically related to heinous crimes.

Jeff.

Yeah, that's a tough one, dude.

The Jeffersons that

that's kind of like that.

Jarvis or Jarvis on.

Oh, yeah.

All right, do I?

Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, geez.

Bro, she's getting cleaner for her.

This is Christ.

Got the left side over here.

I guess it might just be
the light was fucking with me,

but we're going to do some damage.

I'm telling you, I do. And,

Yeah, it'll be interesting
to see what it looks like.

Oh, my God, fuck me sideways, I gotta go.

I'm going to have a fucking.

I'm gonna.

I'm just gonna fucking blow this light
into a gas station here real quick.

You're right.
You're going to pour into love.

My truck is going to be
in the middle of the river.

Would you be, like, out the window
if I make it?

Dude, I'm just get.

I'm about to plow into a Scotchman.

Straight
into a pump with a bunch of lighters like

the Flying Dutchman.

Down here.

All right. Yeah. I'll see you soon.

Later.

Right.

Let's get fucked.

Okay, look.

I got that first one added and decided to

hold off on pursuit until.

We got another one in.

Yeah, I feel like I haven't told you.

You know, I've gotten

multiple people providing,

you know, positive and supportive
feedback and encouragement.

Just like, dude,
you need to do more videos with Jack.

Like, you guys should do a podcast.

Dude. I'm down.

We get that.

That last one's going 90
and we're doing it.

Dude, I think two

like,

I know we've already talked about this,
but there's a select select

amount of people that exist
that like would sit there and listen

to an hour of us talking
about like strategies to kill a fly.

Okay.

Yeah.

Also kill on the strip. Yeah, yeah.

You know what I mean?

You know, because it's like.

There's
an infinite number of variables to.

Kind of tackle there.

Dude, the ceiling is so low right now.

It is on, dude. Last night. Low.

The peaks in the mountains.

Oh, my God.

I went out.

Just stepped out the front door to.

Fucking holler for Bill and.

You could just.

You can feel it.

Yeah.

I almost went inside and got victory like,
hey, come, come

fucking
listen to how quiet it is out here.

So Sarah told me something
was very interesting, I didn't know.

Is that so?

My hip has, like, flare ups

occasionally. Like it's already.

I've already had my labrum

reconstructed all this shit, but
for the most part, it's 95% of the good.

And then I'll have, like, five day stretches where I'm like, what is going on?

Well, like yesterday was the first day

I was better, but the days before
that I was like hurting.

And Sarah's like, oh, it's probably
because the pressure, dude.

I was like, what are you talking about?
That's what she's like.

Yeah. People who have like joint
pain, like, yeah.

Oh, me mom, can I pull?

Yeah, that's exactly the analogy.

She's. Yeah. And I was like,
what are you talking about?

I was like, sure enough, like,
this is the first low pressure system.

Tell me right in here in a couple days,

I got the ultimate fucking weather radar.

I'm a.

Man. Look at them ducks and ducklings.

Good.

I can't feel it coming in yet.

I know. But.

Oh my gosh,

who is chocolaty?

Who's.

Never there fucking talking shit!

How minutes since I fishing waders.

I'm up.

I'm over here monologuing, bro.

I was just talking into the mic

because I'm pretty sure
it's still picking me up,

saying you're.

You're
probably shit talking to me right now.

We'll never know your viewer discretion.

We will be sure to cut out
all racial slurs.

Just kidding.

We don't make racial slurs now.

We don't.

Even.

Fucking comment.

I forgot we just. My.

There you go.

She got the y grit.

The nasty. And.

Pretty sure.

Yeah.

Holy fucking shit.

My about to rip something here.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I.

And in this flat, unbothered.

Your moron did stick a nice one up here,

and he cracked in him and it.

Son just tear up fish up in Pennsylvania.

Wrong.

Oh, yeah. You fall his profile, doctor.

Limestone. Yeah, man.

Him and his kid, they catch musky.

He's got all the good spots up there.

Yes. God damn it feels good.

You might see a deer.

Today is what?

Maybe

it's. Oh.

I'm not fishing

from a waders in a boat in a hot minute.

Yeah.

Wait a minute. For me to.

So I saw this, like, gear hack.

And it was that if you have old
pair of waders or year where.

You know what I mean,

you're getting ready to get a new pair
instead of buying a pair of bibs,

which obviously are nice in a boat,
you just cut the booties out of your.

Yeah.

I was like, oh my God.

That's like,
where are you going to get a pair?

You're not going to buy
a better pair of bibs

than waders, you know, unless they leak.

I guess.

Can you

hand me that, crafty job right there?

I was just hanging out
under the floorboards.

That's an omen. Yes it is.

Strap me on, captain.

I've been hiding in the boat.

I'm a stowaway.

Ready to die.

As a kid, I always thought about, like,
hiding in the toy store.

Oh, my God,
I wonder if I got in here all alone like.

What was the.

Did you want to come?

Just like, play with toys.

Just like.

Just plotting for fucking.

Looting a toy store.

I have 318 wheelers on their way.

Dude, I didn't know that you had, your leg
fully reconstructed.

My hip.

Yeah, my labrum was absolutely shredded
from a from baseball

and baseball rotational overuse injury.

And it was shredded from, like,

I think, product
like my senior year of high school.

I mean, I don't think it was
obviously as bad.

It got kind of progressively got worse.

But it was shitty.

But then as soon as I graduated college,

I got it fixed in Erie, Pennsylvania
at a doctor.

Dude, he did a good job.

JD I'm over here listening shop.

Big rides down there. Jay who?

His name is Jay Diamond.

Doctor diamond

man. There's going to be so much trash
in this river.

I mean, there is so much trash
to clean up.

This feels like lake fishing. Yep.

Right here.

You know something I haven't done that
I want to do more of?

What's that think would be fun,
and I don't.

I don't think we have the right legs
here for it as much as you do.

And like probably other parts
of Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia,

it's like shallow water
largemouth fishing.

Yeah, with big like slow
water game changer.

Your big and any big streamer.

But like and watching bass just come up
and give me that like specifically large

mouth. You see some of these dudes

you fly fishing Texas catch
like fucking ten pounders.

I'm like, that'd be fun

fishing flooded timber.

I think it would take a while to adjust
to, like the idea of, like, fishing there.

Like the boat's
not really moving as fast and.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I think it would be.

No, it's, And with large mouth.

Yeah.

Like the to.

Yeah.

Covers the water.

So I came up here and Wade fished

before we fished the last time together.

I think we fished November 3rd.

I saw what was the last time
I paid Jeff for a shuttle.

And some time before that,
I waited this right braid up here

and caught a little fish
down in the bottom.

Came.

February.

I can't wait for you. Yep.

We're January, middle of January.

Lake. Nobody else on the river.

Big dogs days like this too.

Oh, my God, we got a rock.

I didn't even see. Oh,

I would have saw you.

I was looking.

Did you go down the left or the right?

There's some juicy stuff
over to the right.

There's also juicy stuff to the left.

Yeah, we kind of have one lane here.

It's getting beat up either way.

The one lane is.

Semi treacherous.

This is probably fucking.

Oh, no.

Jeez.

Okay.

I was kind of what I thought

could have totally,
obviously thought it could be a fish,

but, like, sitting right here on the crest
somewhere.

Yeah. No.

Yeah. Rick.

One reckless grab.

Switching up.

Yeah, I think they're.

I like the odds.

One of them.

Foreign around here.

I have, three.

I mean, around all this bass water.

I have intermediate.

Dude, I just sink five.

Sink seven started.

I was peeling the line up for old reel.

I didn't get to put the no line
I had for it.

I've had this.

It's a it's

a steel water line that I have always used
to fish out on plant lakes in Colorado.

It's,
it's it's called a steel water can a line,

but it's, intermediate
the whole way through, and it's

kind of like a clear ish,
but it still has a tight taper.

Yeah, but it's a six way.
I have a little six.

Wait for it.

I mean, I think, like

this scenario would have been perfect,
but I didn't fucking put it on it.

I was like, even for like a
little scalping or something.

I think slower.

Oh, we're going to hit so many rocks.

There actually is a little more flow than

what I was expecting.

Just try to hit them

head on and not broadside.

Just didn't try to keep us moving slow.

Slows possible.

Be a fucking giant

behind one of these little.

Day. Oh, God.

It does feel fucking real nice. One.

Where are we at?

There. Oh.

I'm not sure I'm
gonna try to go through this right side.

What do you think?

Yeah.

I mean, we'll cross the bridge
when we get there.

I'll tell you that much.

If if you.

Yeah. Get to the right of the rock.

That's what I was looking at
to through that.

You also have the
option to drop that anchor

and you sort of slow us down.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea.

I like that, like,

What am I driving?

I don't know, it's just like I can go.

I think we might do it.

Dude.

Oh, it's dragging us over this rock.

See, the kettlebell is kind of nice
because it's round. Yep.

It would.

That 30 pound will stop you.

Jesus, dude.

Do. We might have to go?

I'm not sure.

Might have to go.

Fucking fish some robes

and see if we can move anything.

I get so I think entitled, they're like.

Fish 75 yards a river.

And I'm like, all right.

Yeah, that's a good 75 yards,
you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.
There's a lot of juice up here though.

Dude, I can still

slightly maneuver the boat
with the kettlebell.

Yeah.

I mean,

either, Lane, you know, a little bit of a
more of a lane got carved out there or

this flow is a little more healthy
than what

I was thinking.

You're not up.

I know I'm
going to let it dry to this next.

Okay?

Just thinking out, I know.

I wonder if the audible
sound of that thing clanking is

good is is affecting.

I was thinking about that
with fish behavior.

Well, I fish.

A lot of this with the drag chain out,

but I think it's.

It's so

because like right here if you want like

you get two shots in there versus
we would have been buy this that.

Yeah. Yeah.

So I do it with the
drag chain fishing muskie.

And like

I don't know man.

Sometimes

you get a follow on.

It doesn't fucking eat.

I think that

I think at the end of the day
it doesn't matter.

But definitely for trout
I would say it doesn't matter.

Right.

Now she's up.

She's up.

Give me a bite.

Bite. Bye.

Kaboom!

See those mountains over there?

Come on.

Oh, yeah, I was that's

what made me remember the.

The it being quiet.

I just I noticed for the first time

this year, the other night when I went out

and it was all quiet.

That I can see shit that feels like.

Yeah.

There is a slight advantage to the mud.

And having less visibility on your fly
is that if you get,

like, in my case,
if I get followed by an absolute

dragon.

Yeah. You die, right?

You don't get the. Yep. Yeah.

You don't, you don't,
you don't get no banged up and.

You know

you could lose your head. Dude.

So fucking the dogs got out.

This this is wild.

Who let the dogs?

Oh. Oh.

Also heard that song after Greta played.

And I know what she wanted to hear right
round.

Bye, Flo Rida.

You know. Yep, yep.

So she put that on in the workshop

and wanted to dance.

And so I was dancing

in a workshop with my six year
old daughter,

listening to Flo Rida and Kesha.

Kesha?

Oh, yeah. Dude.

But, after that song,
fucking this mashup came on

and it was Who Let the Dogs Out?

Followed by

that good, mansion.

And then like,
2 or 3 other, you know, late 90s,

early 2000, like remix type.

You like mash ups?

I got some good mash up. Yeah.

I think that,

I think that I do, I actually,
if you have a sporadic brain.

Yeah. I think mash ups are good. Yeah.

Yeah. Dude.

Yeah. Listen to the two friends.

The big booty mixes.

Yeah, like 13 of them.
They're like an hour and a half each.

Okay.

Like freestyle, the mash ups
where they just bring in, like

eight songs from different eras
and they just like.

Yeah, I'm always into that
baseball practice on our.

I'm way into that speaker.

I just like every song
that came on was a banger. Yep.

You're like, oh,
I fucking know. That's one.

That's I, I think the original I'm
not sure if it was the original, but like,

whatever girl talk.

You ever heard of them? Him

I think it's it's a dude.

I wonder if this creek down here
on the right is dumping any

any dude, I would imagine it's it is.

And it's.

And it's clear.

So what do you think the

what I've noticed walking down there
and Elizabethton

is, you know, a lot of the streamside
vegetation got smoked.

Yeah.

I've noticed some of it
starting to green back up already.

We're going into winter, so
obviously that's probably going to stop.

But I'm curious to what
that is going to look like next spring.

Is it dead?

Will it just

bounce back up.

Because like obviously that's important
for bug life and and oh, we got,

two things and mistletoe there.

You know about that.

Is that what that is, bro?
Mistletoe is a parasite.

Really? It's a fucking plant.
You dig there?

Yeah, man.

I just learned that last year I had,
Look at that.

That's pretty cool. Yeah, I have my buddy.

It is like a Morgan and Anthony.

The object. Yeah.

Morgan told me that that was mistletoe.

I was like, dude, you did.

I know what fucking mistletoe is.

It's, you know,
three pieces of a holly bush hot glued to,

a twig or a popsicle stick.

And sure enough.

And I told every single person
on my boat, I

every time I've seen it since.

Yeah, it's kind of interesting
how it like.

Is it's always.

You see. Yep.

Very fishable right now too. Yep.

Maybe all the fish are dead.

They probably all died.

I guess it's not out of the realm.

Possibility.

Eric piece of the brain

just impales them on.

Just a war scene underwater.

It's not.

Dude, it it's been.

It's been very cool and,
unexpected to be fishing

the French fry, which has just been.

It's been fishing.

Well, like, consistently moving lots

of lots of fish
and it's it's shit like this.

Where. Right.

You know, there's

the muskie
have their zip codes or whatever, but

most of them have fucking addresses too,

like they have front doors. And,

you know,
it's this logjam and they might be,

you know, 20 yards off here or,
you know, across the,

you know, on the other side of the river,
you'll see them here or there,

but it's like this one zone
and you know, like that's that structure.

The the logjam is like,
you know, that's it.

That you didn't fucking move an inch.

And it was

at like 800 times its flow.

And so I was just thinking that, well,
yeah.

Like all those logs have been there
for however many years

because of the hydraulics that exist that
keep them.

But yeah, yeah, keep them clear
because they floated into that spot

for a reason right in there
and stuck there for a reason.

And, and the muskies like them

because they know
they're stuck there for a reason.

Yeah.

And so, you know, it's hard to fathom,
like we were talking about

the age of some of these rivers
and the new river and this and that.

And it's like, bro, like,

wow, that was I'm not undermining
the catastrophe that that water.

Sure.

That river's
been through that 500 times. Yep.

Maybe more, you know. Yeah.

Like if the river's
been around fucking for,

some.

It's like, in the millions of years
that it did.

Dude, it just means nothing to me.

Yeah, exactly.

It does.

Because our lifespan
is a fucking drop in a bucket.

It's a grain of rice
and a fucking sack of a 18 Wheeler.

Winchester, you know, can't comprehend.

Yeah, that's been another.

We have

our front door looks out

like onto the mountains and,

you know, we're

we're ten minutes from Johnson City,

which isn't a big place.

And so

in Jonesboro and like

it's a not population
dense area dude it it

the stars are fucking right in your face.

Oh, and just looking out like

damn, bro.

See, people who live in light polluted
areas don't really understand with that,

especially in a mountainous area
like Colorado is the same way.

Once you get out of Denver

and you can see the light pollution
from Denver away in the mountains.

Yeah, but once you get out far enough
and you get up high, yeah,

it feels more like a fucking snow globe,
which I agree, when I even go out

in my driveway
and look up, I'm like, Oh shit, dude.

Yeah,

you get that effect here too.

Oh yeah.

I remember doing that as a kid
and kind of,

I don't know, that's sort of, oddly
enough,

that little

piece of

feeling or observation started the

the route into being very interested

in physics and astrophysics. And

and then it is also what sort of

put a semi abrupt end to it.

Just because it's like,

I don't know, I was still, still young
when I really felt that end for myself.

But it's like, dude, it's so fucking big.

Shit is moving so fucking fast.

Everything is so fucking far away.

What,

what, it's a very natural thing
to be like, interested in.

I feel like it's why
I think, like so many people

who listen to Joe Rogan love
those episodes with, like, Graham Hancock.

Oh, yeah. And,

Yeah.

And and he's he talks about he Tyson.

He talks about,
you know, looking up at stars and how

it sounds like he was going down
the route of

having some sort of mandate to which

in, in theory,
might make some, some degree of sense,

you know, sense was flown
just a little heavier.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're walking inside and Greg goes

that.

Why does.

Why does the moon follow us?

I was like, well, it's a great question.

I picked her up,

put her on the porch

and said she had dog toy.

She. Yeah.

And I said, okay,
think about where that is.

And and I picked her up,

walked like ten feet backwards,
put her back down.

I said, look at it again.

Because, okay.

I was like, is it closer?

Farther she goes, it's farther away.

I was like, is it higher up or lower down?

She said, it's a little higher
up because I took her from

on the porch and put her down.

And I was like, yeah. So

because we're so close to it,
when we move a little bit,

it seems like that thing moves a lot
because it was just right there.

And and now we're only a few feet away,
but we were only a few feet

right next to it.

So what we knew of
it was just a couple feet away,

and she was actually tracking with me
at this point.

Normally, dude, she's fucking,

And I was like, the moon is so far away.

And at this point I can see her.

She's starting to go.

It's so far away

that it doesn't matter how fast we move

or how far we move,

we can't do anything.

It's so far away

that it always
looks like it's in the same place to us.

Unless it's position.

Position changes because that's
the only thing that matters, like I did.

Yeah, I'm fucking fast.
The moon is moving.

That thing's fucking cookie.

Yeah, well, dude, like so
those moons earlier this week.

Like we walk day there.

Two over there up by the baseball field.

So yeah, not the new ones.

The old ones.
There's a bunch of fish right.

And, did not bring the dry flour
and walked for like 40 minutes

and it went from like on the horizon
to, like, way up in the sky.

Quick. Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, dude, it's fucking far away.

Here's one of these fucking.

Oh what is decorative ducks.

That's a special one there.

Yeah.

I bet Christian would know what
that guy is called for. Sure.

I wonder if they're legal to shoot.

I call on the fancy ducks. Yeah.

Now I think they're,

just fucking

big ass fucking.

I think it's too shallow up
there, don't you?

Yeah.

I'm wondering what.

I'm like a smaller.

I mean,

to like, the next drop down through there.

Down to, like Hunter. Yeah.

We don't move
the fish. I'll be bummed out.

Yeah, I'll be pretty bummed about that.

Won't be like, hey, it is what it is.

But obviously I feel like that's a very.

Oh, yeah, that's that's definitely
that's what it's great about.

Fish. In another section below

also is hope might fucking light up.

Give this a fresh spin.

Let you rip in when I'm fish
this area a little unweighted guy.

A little kill weight.

That's all.

So, dude, Victoria's fucking dogs.

Get out!

Jesus Christ.

And. I'm
finishing up my podcast with Marv.

Got grunted down late

call Marv fucking.

I need to not do that on Mondays.

I'm an idiot.

And I'm finishing off.

Greta's
come out, like, multiple different times,

and I'm just like, I'm going out
to the fucking workshop at this point.

So I was out there and Victoria comes in

was like, you know, said something
about where the dogs

and I had come out.

I had locked the gate.

And those things are fucking savages.

What kind of dog are the German Shepherds?

Oh, shit.

One of them's 80 pounds all black.

Okay, look at that.

My timberwolf problem. Yeah.

No. Oh, man.

That guy's got a nice wiggle.

Yeah, a tight wiggle. Yep.

See, sometimes I think with the

the swim of a changer,
it doesn't look it's too much.

Yeah, it looks like a snake. Like.

Dude, look at this. Kill. You ready?

Oh, God.

Oh, that one's nice.

You know what I'm saying? That like.

Yes, because it doesn't look like a snake,
right?

His midpoint doesn't.

You know,
his head doesn't wobble like that.

His tail does,
but it's very tight and fast.

Yeah,

a little.

Right.

Slim pickings for the boys,
All these staggering.

Those don't have much

much to choose
from at the moment, do they?

Now? No, they don't really.

Do you want to,

Me? I think the duct tape on this guy.

Yeah, he should have.

Should have what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is not in here.

Do you see a pile of rogues in there
by chance?

It'll be in the other one
if it's not. Yeah, there's one in there.

This guy?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, wake them the fuck up.

That might be the best trout jerk bait,
Definitely.

It's a good one, man.

And they're inexpensive.

Relative, I know, dude, a fucking 110.

Holy shit.

Rapala put out.

They have, the Maverick for.

I see that it's new.

But, yeah, it's like 18 bucks.

Fucking vision one tens or like 27,

bro. That thing.

That thing's getting donated.

That's the problem.

Yeah, it's a problem with fish and these.

You still got to get them into the fucking
junk.

Juicy zones.

There's

probably a setup
with a very finesse bait caster. Real

and a very light bait cast rod.

And I don't know, though, because you're
going to get a lot of backlashes

hitting trees, you know, for what

to make to increase accuracy.

Yeah.

This this thing should get fucking nuked.

So she comes in with the baby

where the die was like, I'm finishing up.

I've had to restart
with more of like three different times

because it's coming out.

Then the fucking some shit cut out.

And then Greg came out again
and I was just like,

dude, I'm at like the,
you can reach me at Ellis

Ward flies.com

or my number and

she comes out.

I was just like, dude, she's like,
I need to.

And then just like,
rolled out my god fucking damn it, dude.

So we're driving all over.

I walk through the fucking woods
with a gun.

Till, like, two.

And she's like, you know, basically, like,

if they're going to come back,
they're going to come back

and we can't do anything about it.

Next morning,

the big black one, who's

absolutely the one, she's the instigator.

The other one is like,

stuck to Victoria's hip

and the black one like.

And she wouldn't come inside.

Woo hoo hoo hoo.

We don't know about what that was.

It remains to be seen.

And so.

And she's the older one.

And like I come out in the morning
grannies watching TV and fucking big

black
dog is just asleep on the back porch.

The fucking other one's not there.

God damn it.

She was on Victoria got next door.

The app

and put out a missing dog post.

And I mean, no exaggeration.

Four minutes later, I got a text message.

We have your dog.

A couple doors down, dude,

the black dog as me fucking savage

smelled so bad.

Like burning my fucking eyes. Bad?

Yeah.

That's rough.

My dad

fried a nice fish out of here
under the collar.

Low water.

Wow. Yeah.

No. High water.

That was some time ago.

Already.

Here. There he is.

He 1972.

When was America settled?

1776, I think 1776.

Or that's the,
Declaration of Independence, right?

Yeah.

So we've really only been here
for 200 year.

Oh, my God, dude,
that looks juicy over there.

Yeah.

Oh, we're gonna get fried some.

Yeah, we've only been here 200 years.

And. God damn, dude, everyone.

I mean, it's not just this country, but

everyone thinks.

That their existence is

legitimately the beginning, middle
and end.

Like it?

It is alarming how much none of it
matters.

Yeah, but that's got to come from a lack
of, like, perspective growing up or a lack

of, like, teaching the right things of,
like appreciating the natural world.

Like so many people live a life from.

They don't they've never went on hikes,
they never spent time outside,

they've never floated down a river.

They've never fucking went to the beach.

They've never fixed, you know, done
anything like it's just very interesting.

It is.

And I told you before, like we have,
we have employees and we do this thing

where we actually don't have any employees
really, who say this anymore.

But we used to have a few employees
where like

every Monday morning we do this
like we're good.

And they would always be like, oh, I just
oh yeah, you did tell me this is

like, what?

What'd you do this weekend? Nothing.
You did nothing.

It's what you did,

you know?

Oh, nothing really.

I was just hung out.

Okay. So you did nothing.

You know what I mean?

And not that. You know what?

Laying on the couch is not nothing.

It's something.
But it's. It's not. It's nothing.

Yeah, it's not a necessarily a,

beneficial activity

unless you're watching something
educational.

Yeah.

Not deriving value added.

It's physically not beneficial.

And you know what I mean.

Yeah.

Mentally it's I would
I would say it's also it's a

if you're looking at things as like

a plus and a minus, it's a mind, it's
a minus.

It's not just neutral.

It's so not only did
you do nothing, neutral is

maybe like sitting on your front porch
and like watching a video.

Which dude? Honestly.

To immediately move away

from any amount of understanding there.

That's
probably a positive thing for most people,

because they actually have to be
with their own thoughts

and like, confront shit for a moment.

I mean, dude,
do you know how many people just.

Yeah, I think to, like, buzz
through their day, right?

With no,

like, you know, someone says something
or or your wife or your girlfriend

or your kid says something
and it doesn't land well with you.

And you think,

I wonder

I wonder what's going on there
that that I,

that I'm getting upset about her sharing,

you know, some shit about groceries
or some dude.

It's just people
just fucking just reacting.

What else I think is like a major, like

issue that

we're not really talking about,
you know, like, I,

I think now that like,
you see, Trump appointed RFK to that

human health services position now
it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Yeah, I didn't know that there was an
official his is an official appointment.

His, I agree with a lot of his,
like, philosophies on.

Yeah.

But nonetheless,
I think we have a massive, like,

mental masturbation problem
where people like,

fucking sit there and just ingest
every piece of it, myself included.

I'm definitely guilty of this,

digital content on something
and never go do it.

Yeah, right.

Like there's a portion of people out there

who sit there and watch hours
and hours of time.

Video never go fucking
time to fly. They want to time.

But the issue is, is like mental
masturbation,

dopamine issues that like you get some,

you're like, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like you hear people talking about
like dopamine detoxes and stuff.

And I think like,

you know, it's like me like I've watched

every fucking video
of fly fishing in the Florida Keys, right?

That that it exists fucking 95%,
I don't know, bullshit

like hundreds of hours of consumption.

I'm like, is that a net positive
or is a net like I've,

I've deduced many spots
out of these videos.

I've learned a lot.

Well, this is an interesting question.

Is that a net negative or positive?

It feels like my gut says it's a negative

because in the old days
you wouldn't like to to experience

any of that,
you would have had to fucking go there.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, but that's it. That's,

you know, a comparative net negative,

relative to something else.

So it's like, yeah, relative to exploring
and finding one of these places

on your own.

Definitely.

It's, What?

But it depends, though,
because if you use.

This is what I was gonna say, if you use
that information to go and do something,

then I would typically I was

I was actually thinking about this
fucking a couple hours ago.

If you do something with the information
that you get or things that you learn,

then you know that knowledge
or the time spent

gaining that knowledge is therefore
productive, quote unquote.

Right? So.

I was thinking about this with respect to

Victoria and her her talking about

wanting to do a PhD program
and like she downstream right there.

I know she just got her master's

and she's not even fully licensed
because she hasn't finished her hours.

That feels like a fucked process.

Like that many hours, isn't it? Like 2000?

Yeah. And here's the thing. She's just.

She's too smart.

It's fucking boring.

Right? And so it's,

there's there's two ways to go, right?

You can,

you can just load up your schedule

and, like, advertise and.

And do all this work
that is boring that you find,

you know, relatively simplistic or,

and I know she has good relationships
with her clients and enjoys it,

but it's just like, for this,

the forward looking,
you know, life span, it's

she wants to do research and practice

with clients, but not just do that right.

And so she's talking about getting a PhD.

And I was just like, you know,
is this like one of these things where

and I found myself

thinking the same thing, I complete
something, then I'm like, oh, okay.

What's next? Right.

As opposed to just being able to

do this thing
that I'm good at or have success with.

Like, I that like,

see, I think too, that the issue with
that is like, that's part of human nature.

Like, say.

You know,

it works for some people say it right.

We're getting more and more away from it.

But say it was fucking 1776 and here
we are, like eating off the land and shit.

Your day

is a nonstop Rolodex of tasks to complete.

Yeah. Solve the next problem.

Yeah.

Oh, I harvested my corn for the day.

I have to plant my onions.

The fences down the cows need fed the.

I need to go kill an animal.

I need, you know, skin animal. I need to

leave in a sweat.

Hide. Yeah.

And tomorrow
there'll be a new list of things to do.

I need to insulate house for winter.

Oh. Winter's done.

I need to repair roof from winter.

You know what I mean? Like, yeah.

And the whole time. Dude, you got to.

You got to spend however many hours

going down to the earth, days
going down to the fucking trading post.

Yeah. To get whatever.

And and during that time, dude,
if you don't meet and connect

with human beings along the way,
you're fucked.

Like you're literally
going to fucking die or too.

It's like, okay,
at that time you a problem arises

that you don't know how to fix.
What do you do?

Your only resources, other human beings.

Right?

Right.

Where you know, today would be similar
in the sense that like, you know,

you got to you have access
to all this knowledge of fixing things

or whatever, you know,
but that human element of like.

You know, the old wise guy on the corner
of the neighborhood

used to be the resource
for all those things, right?

Oh, do this, this will work. Do that.
Oh, that happened to me.

And I did this and it worked.

And now it's like a Google search.

Yeah.

And the problem with that is that one
your Google searches

are being manipulated to,
you're the one fucking Google searching.

So you're not going to the store saying,

you know, my fucking horse is sick

and you got the dude
who's had hands on experience.

It's like you're biased search, right

of how to fix this using this method when.

Right? Right. Exactly.

Yeah.

So all of a sudden
you're looking at just that methodology

and right.

Dude,

I mean, things are fucked though.

There's there's like 7.5 billion people.

Yeah.

Yeah I mean, that's the problem.

And no politician
wants to talk about that.

Nobody wants to address this.

Like why are housing?

Why is housing so expensive?

Because we're out of room.

The room's gone.

There's no cheap land left for people,
you know, like, it's just it doesn't

exist,
you know, like, eventually at some point.

Wow. I got it right.

I mean, dude,
if that was a fucking brown trout.

TBD on that one, too.

The only other thing that that would have.

What is going on right.

Do you see anybody?

Yeah.

Dude, there's a trout.

Dude, I.

What is it?

Do you know or.

That one's a head scratcher.

And of course, the GoPro had died.

Interesting interaction.

See, the.

This is where all these dudes raped these
reds down here,

you know?

Yeah. Park up there.

The fire department walked down
through Stony Creek on these fish spawn.

I mean, I dude, I'm
pretty sure that was a fucking hot horse.

I mean, those were big waves, big dimples.

And, you know, he was all the way
out of the water that second time.

Looks juicy over there.

That was it.

Does we met?

Yes. We bears.

I mean, I know there's fucking fish.

I definitely want to kind of sneak up here
to the right in this

pocket and see how far
the clear water coming out.

Yeah, I think to see,

you know, which,

you know, America, just in my opinion,

you know,
because I think, like you said about you

manipulating Google search,
like all that shit is, it's like,

you know,
how many people are starting fights

with friends and family
because they saw something on Facebook?

You know, I was there, like,
I see something.

I'm like, oh, that's the way it is. Fuck.

You know, like it's like, well,

Instagram
just fed that to you on a silver platter.

Yeah.

You know.

Now do they hear you.

Yeah.

And then are you in with your wife.

And so now it's now it's about fucking.

Getting shit to go sideways.

Oh look at some headline up here.

Oh boy.

Oh, I can feel it coming. Me,

Dude, that was that was a bizarre

little something right there.

You want to fish?

Oh, two hamburger and some shit.

Yo, I'll do ham, burn some.

I'm gonna try this yellow guy.

It's big yellow Johnny.

Oh, heifer, you have this big time.

Timmy. Jim.

Before I capsizes.

You know, I think that's the right move.

I mean, do

the only other thing that could have been
is a car.

Feel your weird, Cartman.

Feel the temperature. It. Well,
fucking car!

Feel the temperature fly after you.

You fucking pull it in the cold or warm.

You tell me.

Gas. Is this going to be warm?

As warm?

Shit. Yeah.

Definitely not cold

right now.

It's not.

It isn't.

Definitely. Definitely feels cold, is it?

The wind gusts?

Maybe you were waiting for a bite window.

What is it today?

What's it going to be?

Maybe its fucking turn over.

And it doesn't matter what we do.

Oh my God, dude, wiping the mud line.

Just nuke something.

You see the rings?

Yeah, just nuke it

right over the mud line.

Thank God I didn't bring that dry fly rod.

I swear to fuck, dude, the one time.

That's how it always works.

Yeah.

Once again, looked at that just thinking,

well, fuck it, you know.

Almost was was considering it.

Some sort of time management where

you double
hauled that fucker right into the weeds

on top of this stump.

Yeah, we got to get to.

Hunter or. Sorry.

We got to get to lover's

in, like, two hours.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about, like,

the amount of water between here
and there.

Yeah, it's a good amount.

It's like. Oh, shit.

What the fuck?

What are you possibly even.

It sounds like giant fucking caddis eats.

Also,
do we really need to set some Florida

dates?

Yeah.

Are you thinking winter?

No. Like some time?

Like March?

I mean, do we can go
multiple fucking times, but.

We should definitely go
to, like, Tampa Bay area in the summer.

Once the big pincer there,

we should go to the keys and march

when they're there and we can

I mean, we can go down there
any time fishermen fish or.

Like, I want to go for like

a minimum of, like 3 to 4 fishing days,

minimum of 3 to 4 fishing days.

What minimum of 3 to 4 fishing
days, you said.

Yeah, right.

We're that way.

You know what I mean?
Because you're gonna have a like.

What's nice,
though, is we could switch off driving

and just send it straight through.

Yeah, there wouldn't be a problem at all.

Switch every, like,
four hours or something.

I mean, to Biscayne Bay.

It's not that far.

Where's that?

That's just south of Miami.

It's like a 12 hour drive.

Yeah.

It's.

Oh! Got him.

You got fish? Might be a studied.

Might be a stud to Hamburg.

Come down stream.

He's pulling like a donkey.

Oh, might be a dog.

Evening on the burn.

Just dead paws.

He feels heavy.

Yeah, it feels heavy.

I don't know,

hot. Dude.

I think it might be a unit.

Maybe it's a power hook.

I don't know.

He's dragging the boat at the moment.

Come on, you big heifer.

Dude, I think they're eating up on that.

My line to you, bro. He's not lit.

Do you not think I'm. I'm.

The striper maybe.

I don't know, dude, I can't lift.

I mean, I can I don't want to fucking.

Yeah.

Come.

Here you come.

Did I just go this way?

Here he comes. Here.

I haven't seen his ass yet.

Oh, dude, he feels happy.

I don't know.

Jesus, dude.

I mean,
I got I'm fucking bent over right now.

Yeah.

Oh, shit.

The way upstream cast is.

Getting to see him right here

in the.

Come on, big bastard.

I felt.

It is a nice fish.

It is a nice fish.

But he is it hooked in the back.

Of. I wonder why I couldn't move and do.

All right, I'm gonna do some just. Yep.

At this point, I'm not.

He's very pretty. Fish. Yeah.

Come here.

Oh, you bring yellow bastard.

Oh, look at that mud.

Colored them up.

Oh, nice fish though.

Okay.

He definitely came up and tried to eat it.

Yep, I wasn't dredging.

There you go.

So we'll take the.

We'll take this. Why?

Be nice, fish man. God, yeah.

You beautiful bastard. You.

Hell, yeah!

Yeah, man.

Let me get, you want to go over
in the grass and get some photos?

I'll get out. Yeah. He's pretty man.

He's got an awesome adipose.

Thanks, buddy.

That was a good fight.

You know, you're hooked in the top.

You're getting ready
to do your deed somewhere

whenever you can.

It's a nice 20.

Maybe bigger.

I don't know, we think 21.

I don't know,

not super long.

Do you think this fish has

big, big fish genetics?

Yeah.

Would outcast up in that clear shit.

Yeah.

I saw one fucking nuke
something over there.

On the burn, dude.

On the burner.

Yes, we have a rock.

Come on, buddy.

You're in your full spawn.

Suicide.

You come up and try to eat my fly.

Did you do, He made a mistake.

It's okay.

He made a little wolf. Sees.

You know what
I was thinking to the other day? Like

one is a big proponent for.

Brown trout.

Is any fish really like, in terms of,
like, conservation efforts?

But, bro, they're fucking hard.

They are like, they're they're in action.

They're actually an invasive fish.

Like they're. Yeah,
they are fucking hardy.

You're already fucking

I think that

I mean, how many have you pulled out

that have

wounds. Yeah.

That have a grown over fucking osprey

Munch.

Don't you. That.

Which is that? Come on. Your body.

Come on.

Where'd you go?

You're pretty bastard, aren't you?

Yes. You.

My mama.

Mama,

hang on one second and get.

These kind of be in

being difficult.

All right.

Ready? Three. Yep. Yeah.

Children just have a just a hair.

I'll get a couple more.

Yeah.

Just look for your slippery guy.

Anybody?

Okay?

Oh, dude.

You're.

All set? Yep.

Got some good ones.

Let them go. Thanks, bro.

Look at you all spawn getting ready.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right, you're ready

down there, isn't it?

Don't you go big down low

key bud.

On the two hand.

Yeah.

You're one of those guys
is making all that noise

causing all the trouble over there.

Oh, shit. My.

It's.

Wow, that's a big drop off right there.

I'll tell you right now.

You fucking jumped in like a crate.

You had some fucking.

It's a crater.

Had some commitment
there. And confidence is what that is.

Again. Ignorance is bliss.

I won't even say anything.

I was like, all right, well,
I guess he's going to fucking figure this

out one way or another.

And if it works out, then great.

If it doesn't, then

we'll be okay.

It's another.

Have you ever watched the
The Great British Baking Show?

Oh, Sarah loves it. Dude.

I fucking love it, dude.

The people that end up. Well it's not.

Do you want help here?

Yeah. I'll take a couple.

Yeah, yeah, it's a good feeling.

About to launch them
one up in that clear stuff.

Yeah. Burning it right into the mud.

I did see a massive blow up in there.

Well, okay,

that makes me think that.

All the stuff we passed up there,
we just didn't get them.

You just didn't get the monster? Yep.

Because that guy,

even after we floated over.

Niger, head right over this.

This fly was tied
by the Beaver Islands fly guy.

Oh, Beaver Island flying coach Drew.

Is that a little too dangerous
to play around with?

Tied him on this extended shank.

It's kind of a cool idea.

On which one

he tied them on like a big extended
shank and put like Rattle the Eagle.

Yeah.

Interesting.

I got to he sent me another yellow one.

I mean he's having these long
like two winners ago maybe.

Yeah,
I got a couple on that yellow one that.

Oh, boy,

there's something about to happen
in this color

to keep your hair.

Young.

The old drunk, deadly.

Dude, I'm going to go with the swim.

Beasley's

swim?

He breezes.

What's your back hook on this one, Gama?

We will see.

I think it's probably.

I ran out of the six is.

So I've been doing this number six
to be ten asses.

Just perfect natural predator
light, though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So,

Yeah, I've.

I've been tying them
with a couple different.

I'm not sure which one
I grabbed here, but.

I do believe

it is one of the freshies
where I'm saying,

what the fuck

should I do?

I think there
there is something to be said.

For the back hook,

having

some mass. So.

Yeah, brother, this is,

either the predator light or,

a Partridge universal predator size two.

So I'm definitely kind of speed
in the back, kind of stepping out.

You get some momentum back there.

You know,
this guy wants to stop instantly.

Yeah, this wants to keep going.

He wants to keep moving. Yep.

Yeah.

That light thing, the light in the back.

That's why
I love rabbit so much as you can have it.

It absorbs water.

Can you give me my pliers?

Want to

do everyone a favor here?

The noises got me all fucked up.

Now, do we seem like 3 or 4?

Those big splash he eats?

I'm just going to kind of creep real slow.

You see this really light colored twig

running parallel to the water's
edge, straight ahead of us.

It's really orange. Yellow color.

Yeah.

Right in line with you to.

That is where I saw that big splash.

You saw that splash? Yeah.

Oh, man.

Oh, yeah.

It was getting nude back there

in the middle.

Yeah.

I'm back.

Ready? Over there.

Launch a few up river.

I think it's fucking juicy.

I like that pink hot spot.

Yeah, I like this.

Where you're going with this one?

You know?

Okay.

Do. They're not.

I don't think they're eating dry.

What do you think they're eating? Dries.

Yeah. You do?

Yeah.

Give me one second.

Respond in this text now.

Good.

Just.

All right. Let's do fun.

So you saw one up above us,
and then we just talk.

Good one down at that. It's a crest.

Yeah.

Hearing.

Is this high enough?

For sure. I keep going.

I don't I didn't see that one.

And you can keep going. I.

Load up by.

I'd like to take a picture of that fly.

For your.

For my timing archives.

And also, I am a really large
fan of the color scheme.

Yeah, it has a very minnow ish.

I don't know, it's
just like I maybe in the chatty,

the pink kind of like, goes good.

Yeah.

It's also I like that pink
hotspot and this,

peach and brown barred rabbit.

Which obviously is what makes the fish go

all right. Yeah.

That's how you know you're
in the rabbit game when you're like,

here,
there's so many colors of rabbit here.

But we're like,
we got it fucking whittled down to like,

the peach and brown bar did one.

Dude, that's how I feel about that
golden dorado.

John ordered a bunch for the shot,
but I went down

and bought two packs because I was like,
that's the one that I bunny.

Yeah, yeah, Golden dorado colored bunny.

That's the one. I stuck all those.

That color drunk is the one

that two years ago
that didn't work all winter

with yellow hackle tails.

Kano.

Ever since then

I've been fucked up on the yellow.

The I would say let's keep pushing down

just for the sake of time.

Yeah, yeah.

It's 350.

You already.

I'm gonna try to keep

on that one crested kind of out

the other two.

That way you shoot over to the right
if you like.

Anything over there,

and then we'll start
cooking with gas. Yup.

This thing's getting fried.

By a blond girl.

Hey, you never know.

Got a lot of water left.

We could end up turning one of those days.

Yeah, and juicy stuff.

Oh, that cat's reminded me of that

you had down above.

Below. Lovers below.

Lovers. Yeah. On the swim bug.

You know, through the fuck yeah, yeah.

Rip the fucking line under my hand,
like six, 7 a.m.

or whatever it was.

Oh, that's good. You.

Okay.

It's.

Someone's fucking chilling in there.

Yeah,

I would agree.

This whole inside edge looks.

Yeah. Yep.

Jesus, dude.

I don't want to miss it.

I think should be getting deep fried.

Little spicy churro.

I, I keep my eye teacher on.

A little chicharrones.

Do you ever do pork rinds?

I've had them before.

I don't.

You're talking about the chip, right?

Well, I mean, they're they're puffy.

What's that?

They're puffy.

They're kind of like a bugle.

Right?

Yeah.

I mean, it's like a skin. Correct?

Yeah, it's actual fucking pork rinds.

Jesus. Yeah.

Fuck you.

Give me that surface

to fucking through the surface.

Come on.

I try to choke you.

Dude, both sides look great.

What's the guy supposed to do around here?

What's it gonna do?

Oh, shit.

Dude, dude,
I feel like it's going to happen now.

I do.

Oh, it's like a little motorboat.

Look at all these little buckets here.

One's going to come on it
like a fucking steaming.

Yep. Dude.

What color mallard flank is on that thing?

Natural.

Peach brown.

Barred.

That's where that browns coming from,

Yeah.

I mean, it could be.

We'll see.

I'll have to.

Jesus, this.

One. Oh, my God, it is.

Oh. Feels like gas.

It's just the right

color.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I already know where your head's at.

Bro, did you just see a eat?

Yeah.

That whole giant center.

Just like being forced to eat off the top
right now because there's nothing else.

You see me good now, but, like, I'm,
you know, be cast.

Go over there. Yeah, I can.

You can't, I can't.

You can.

Ladies and gentlemen, he can.

Put the two of them.

I just feel like if one sees it,
they should get, like, hot garbage on it.

I now, because they haven't seen anything
for weeks.

Like, just ridiculous eats.

Yeah, with ridiculous ferocity.

It is pickle on here. Yep.

What am I doing?

I don't know.

Boink!

Oh, dude, it's a stud.

Do you see him?

Yeah.

On a red.

Was he? I don't know,

I mean, like, did you see his tail? Yes.

Big giant man.

What the.
What the fuck is he doing? Eating?

I don't know, I mean, dry flies, do they?

They walk the boat up there.

Dude, I don't think they fucking eat
when they're spawning.

Is that not right?

All right, I don't I don't know if he is.

I don't know that he spawn right.

You can come up for whatever.

Yeah.

Doing those tails.

The fucking decide the interesting

I. Okay, I'm a background.

Try not being any rock.

Somewhere right in there.

I think

was even next.

Rock garden up.

Now it's right in there.

Yep. You just one again.

Oh, where had I didn't see?

Right.

About where my fly is.

Did you see that last one?

Rather.

Oh, I thought I just had one over
on the other side.

There's two dark rocks.

Like, in between.

He's like, right under my fly.

I mean, he might be.

I don't know what that behavior is.

You know,

if he's on a fucking
if he's actively spawning.

What the fuck is that shit?

I don't
understand why you be cresting the water.

Oh, no. Dude,

was that a e?

I don't know, try a

different color.

Try what? Appear quick.

I wonder? A different color or something?

I don't know.

Oh, I guess I can't.

I can whip out my dungeon this way.

Oh my God, dude,

the one I thought was like a mid 20.

I saw it.

Just busted up there.

He's not small.

He's like.

He is very large.

Very large fish.

Jesus, dude.

See if you can get him to chase him
before we go, okay?

Okay.

All I can see about this.

I mean, that is

that is pretty fucking spawning behavior.

Yeah, that swim, swimming upstream
like that.

I wonder if he's chasing
off other brown trout.

Where's my fly box? I

have something he might have.

This guy.

I think orange bottom

or or I got some special.

I look at this bastard.

Oh, what is that little bug tail?

Change your change, old one.

Been around for?

I remember that I was thinking
about that one the other day.

See if you get in the chase.

It that.

Oh, I think you start with the craft
first.

I'm not going to cast

my spears. Switching flights.

Fuck it, dude cast.

I think I lost my nipple.

I have some nippers.

Mister nutrition.

I got in there, right here.

The last time I saw him.

Good.

His tail would be that of like a 30.

Yeah, I.

Just want some brown trout.

He or rainbow trout?

See if he's preparing it.

He still can chase and eat food.

I think if he's

doing his actual deed.

I'm thinking of you
moving around so much now.

I also know that's the case.

So I can catch him.

Maybe there's a shooting, some,

big yellow heifer.

Oh, you're for the.

We're going to have to roll.

Yeah, we got to go.

Let me shoot this bitch at.

I'm like, one time,
you see if he'll chase.

You know that?

Fuck out of my faces.

That cast with him on.

It's fucking.

This one's for me.

This fucking.

Is. That's a

I know this is the streamer short.

It's just not coming from all good.

But after not being used for a
little while,

I get up front.

I'm fucking all rolls through this.

Jesus. I'm.

Going on through there.

See, I invoke his territorial

spirit.

Isn't that damn.

Oh, they're not

coming.

Last shot.

Oh, this line is going to fucking make me

kill. No!

See? Jesus! Oh!

Yeah.

There we go.

Okay.

Sticky bastard, you.

How did I end up fishing?

Switch.

I want you to fucking stick
a unit on a big fly

to hand in and.

I was fishing for a little bit.

You got the hot hand.

Oh. Oh, Jesus. Oh!

This one swims nice

like it.

I've redone the head on this one
a few times.

There.

It didn't kill any good.

There.

See. Shallow.

Oh. I don't know what side to go on.

Yeah.

That's a good fucking shot.

Right turn right in this middle stuff.

Oh, follow.

I thought to kind of to

a maybe, but I think it was just the eye
and seeing anything.

The fly.

If this thing gets nicked,

it's going to be a giant.

Fucking line.

I'm done with you.

After today,
I'm cutting you up into little bit.

Burying you in the backyard.

If you get neat.

Or the line.

What's that?

I was wondering if you were cutting apart
the line in.

Very. Yes, exactly.

That was what I was. Yeah.

Not a not a big fan of that airflow line.

It was.

I mean, in its credit, it's very old.

So. Yeah.

It's just this is bad when it's thin right
now, it's like very cold.

That place

where where is.

Yeah, there's something like. It doesn't,

take on coil easily,

but when it does and it gets like,

if there's any amount of wind around
itself, it fucking like, knots up.

Well, one thing to that I noticed cast it
when I was messing with your rod

at the ramp there like that
line goes is so much smoother.

It goes through your hand so much easier.
Which one? The real.

Yeah, yeah, it's another part of me.

That airflow line.

Oh, fucking.

If you're fishing in

dirty shit, especially sandy water.

I don't

do a good job
of putting a mark in your finger

right where they, they,
you know, every company

has, like, their thing,
like reuse is like the slick cast

they call airflow,
as they call it, like ridged.

Heck,
but those ridges just smoke your fingers.

Yeah, yeah, that's

the one that I'm talking about.

I want it in there further. Oh.

Cool little clear water pockets in there.

Okay.

Yeah.

It's a Jerry God.

Absolute stud.

Rainbow.

What?

Look at the side there.

Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.

Dude, it's a big guy.

Just mutant.

Oh, fucking completely nuke the giant.

Game changer

in a fucking six to the water.

That's.

I kind of feel like
I should just let him go.

We should fish this shit.

Or do you think we should get
a picture of that?

What?

I mean, I don't care.

I think I, I send them home.

Dude, it's
going to make rolling through here, bitch.

So I'm hanging on to this.

Dang, buddy.

Chill out

there. He.

I'm just going to hold him

until we

do what I'm here to.

Dig old study.

Look at that.

Nice,

nice.

I guess I'll stay over here.

I'm a fucking hot garbage man.

This.

God. Come here.

I'm gonna try to hold him.

Left him because the flies in his face.

Come here.

Come.

There we go.

This will be bad. Come.

You big bastard!

Got. You.

Why the fuck it?

Slip the dog.

Dude.

I'm sorry.

I feel like I'm violating your rights
right now.

There we go.

Ready?

Wait.

Let the fog look at us.

Damn, dude.

Oh, well.

Okay.

Maybe.

Don't try it. You're fucking smoked.

Okay. You ready, big guy?

Let's go. Oh!

Well, that's fucking sick.

All right, kids, back.

Yeah!

Get up there, dog.

Dude, in a fucking.

Barely any water. Yeah.

Just said, oh, look at this little brown

trout coming.

All right, I'll jump on the sticks.

Will get pedal to the metal.

Sick.

I actually think this fucking.

This guy's going to.

Going to get its shit pushed in.

Let's do it.

Fuck y'all.

Good to go.

Oh, no moment.

You're good.
Tell me whenever you're ready. No rush.

Yep. Yeah.

Big brown trout coming to Brown town.

Come on man, come on man, give it to.

We got a long way to go in
a little bit of time to get dirty.

Is there.

And I'm going to put us in the bush.

Here we go.

What are you doing up here, Mr.

Rainbow?

Rock!

Bonk! Come in.

Oops. Oh!

I feel good about.

From that first drop below, Hunter.

Down into that slack water. Yep.

And I'll push us
through the the black stuff.

Oh, boom.

What is big ass rainbow, dude?

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I'm getting in position to eat eggs
here in the near future.

Yeah, that could be it.

Oh, boy.

Get fried.

Coming in. Ha!

Oh, boy.

Oh! Well.

Hold on. Anchor. Kick

might not be a bad thing.

Yeah.

All right.

Get moved on this side. Be.

Oh. It's.

You fucking.

Jesus!

Oh! Fucking fried skillet

said I do.

I need that fucking sideways. Eat.

I see

little Rock gardens.

What, did you see him?

I got it out of the fucking corner
of my eye.

Dude,
did you get a fucking read on that fish?

Was that an absolute fucking unit?

24, at least that's Jesus

fucking Christ, that.

Just missed it.

Yeah. Or never committed.

Yeah.

Dude, he was so dark.

Yeah.

He didn't know, like,

very dark.

What?

Heavy.

Heavy anchor.

And not a fucking off here.

This time
I'm gonna tell you all through. It.

This fly is fucking lights out!

Fucking.

You know, it's
one of the days that feels like if.

If we get it to him,
like we're going to get it.

At least it's showing in.

Of course we'll run out of daylight,
you know?

Yeah.

How she goes.

It is how she goes.

Daylight before

it. Well,
if we didn't have these fucking women

and their fucking offspring, you know.

Oh, man, you.

Hallelujah.

Oh, man, that guy's that got all the fuck
that is brand new to.

Get fried, get fried juice.

Can't stand

the old pocket.

Prober over Ben Crockett.

Get right down in them britches.

That's juice.

Can't stand meeting a little bit of top
water, Paul.

Right there.

Yeah.

Stands cousin in low, muddy water.

Come on. Off that fall.

Yeah.

How about it?

Fuck. Did.

I just I got that,

I had that sixth sense

that feels like, like, fired up,

just pulling that fly back out
and and kind of keep my head.

Yeah. Over to the right.

And seeing that fucking.

That was a big fish.

Fuck, I did it.

That's what I feel like. It's like.

We we can catch him before.

Before they're active.

Yeah, yeah.

Dude, some guy like that, that guy,

he's fucking farting around

in the predator spots.

Oh. That log off.

This right here for the longest? Yep.

Just keep. Oh.

You want to give
me a little bit closer? Yep.

That's gone.

And he bites. No.

Yeah.

It's fucking sharkbait.

Who had

everybody. Who,

In front of.

Oh! Oh.

Okay.

Chocolate milk boiling.

There.

Sure. Oh.

You got to stay right on
top of this little.

Rockledge.

Right there.

Jesus. They.

They brought the whole fucking.

Are we still going down on the left there?

Yeah.

Dude.

I thought we might have

had an at the boat runner there.

Jesse.

Logan. Pocket.

Yeah.

That one kind of had had the feels to it.

Yeah.

What do you want?

Oh, jeez.

Is there always is.

Oh, God.

Sounds like Jesus laying in there.

Two inches.

Oh, I yeah, I.

Jesus, dude.

We got a new key.

Wallace.

On the horizon. Now.

Let's

get out of here.

I shot my great shot.

We. How does this move, dude,

that was another one that had the.

Senses to.

Right off the edge.

Come on.

Dude, the water's

always pounding through here
so fast on high water. Yep.

Man, this bang got cleaned out, didn't it?

This right side.

Yeah,
it looks a lot different at the moment.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God, that is.

Freaking

them.

Oh, go for.

Yeah.

Freak out.

Just getting new right there.

Yeah.

There.

Fuck!

Yeah, it looks good.

Yeah.

It's all feels excellent.

Yeah.

Damn.

Yeah.

Big Jesse.

You want to talk about fucking Thomas
Jefferson?

The founding fathers? Yeah.

Sitting down in here.

Sitting down.

Put it right in my fucking cake hole.

Rock.

Oh, now.

My boat.

Just shimmied in there.

Yeah, I'm just thinking.

It's it's it's almost like.

Well, we're not even fishing for a fish.

Damn it.

Our good. We're fishing for an eat.

We're fishing for a type of eat,
which, granted, comes from a fucking.

The type of eat
inherently is from a 26 inch

bracket, right.

But I

but we're we're not swinging
to those fish arguably spawning.

It's. I want to fucking.

What I was going to say to is like car
ramrod.

We're looking for like that fish
who's like right on the edge.

Respond right.

But like that's the water we're kicking
right now is like, behind that island.

I might be a good spot
for him to be waiting.

Shallow water.

This is a good area
for him to do this. And

and he's going to back
on one big last feed here.

You know.

Like, which is why

we saw that giant
fucking up there in the water he was in

is because he's hanging in that area
getting ready getting ready.

Yeah. Haha.

As a part of you follows up,

if he follows us and nukes the streamer,
then it's like, to me that's fair game.

That's complete.

Now we would have anchored there

and fucking ran a bunch of names
through there

till we hit him in the face
and and snagged them.

Obviously not fair game,

but that's what will happen to him.

That's correct.

But like if we can trigger
his territorial response of,

oh, oh, I'm ready to fucking throttle
something, dude.

You know, it will be fascinating

then to me is,

like, same with this stuff in here.

Like it feels like the middle.

I mean, it's I'm.

I'm like, it's shallow.

It's not overwhelming amount of flow.

I know there's big dogs through here too.

Yeah.

Where are you on right or left? Man?

You run to the bottom

of this island, and I'll back row
so we can get some more juice.

Let us.

Freak out.

Food.

Can we check a box real quick?

Sure.

Under these trees over here in the right

fish. Christian?

One time. Yeah.

And we caught a bunch on names
right over here.

The water was fire.

Not that that's relevant
to what we're doing,

but he had claim
that this is where one of those big.

Come on, Brutus has got caught.

His. Maybe

there's a big jumbo Brutus over here
that wants to.

Oh, we got it.

Nice shot under these guys.

Right under these trees.

Yeah, yeah.

Looks like
just a little drop off in there.

Maybe not much.

But we

need him to go on high water with Cass
right up at the bank and caught a bunch.

Should 14

rainbows and little baby browns.

Bam bam bam bam bam.

Oh, then Houston is going to be bombed.

His night
fishing spot is gone, so literally,

he fishes right where that tree fell.

He parked up there? Yeah,
he parked in an apartment.

That little apartment building
right there and boom.

Yeah. Walks down the fence.

Interesting.

I wonder if he's definitely see me out
here.

He catches a bunch of big ones standing
right there.

All right, let me back us through this.

Yeah, you tell me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're going to end up

having to.

Just sink in that area down by the,

could we just can stand?

I'm going to row with all my might.

What do you think?

Top achievable rowing speed.

Independent of current on high water.

How fast you think you can go
ten miles an hour with the current?

Yeah. Like this back room going backwards.

Yeah.

I feel like ten.

Oh, my.

I look at that baby.

I haven't fish this section
since the flood.

Yeah, I haven't either. Oh.

All right.

What juicy areas do we have below us?

We got the area in front of the cow farm

where they line up with draws.

That bank, the area
above that to that shallow area.

This could all be good

zones for the two.

Ham, Bissell.

Dude, the weed.

The fucking

that poorly?

I would call it a flat,
but, words deep on the left hand side

with rocks right before the bridge.

What's great?

Oh, yeah.

The first tree.

Yeah.

Dude, that weed bed on the right hand
side.

Really?

I've always fished the left down
through there, so.

Dude,
I've never fucked with that, right? So.

Oh, dude, it is.

The left side is on tough days.

That's like dropping down in,

I start moving more center and so on.

I, I'm telling folks that

that casting is going to be occurring

still towards the bank,
but we start to fish more like that.

We'd been sort of pinches
from bank out here.

So we end up fishing
more like a third of the way in.

And just like a strip or two off
that we've had,

let it pause.

See you later.

Break down.

You know what?

I never should have sold

my five horsepower long shaft motor.

Yeah.

I'll try, three of

we not have to reclaim one off
Facebook for, like, 400 bucks.

It's, like, old and shitty

picture out.

Down that county.

Turnpike.

Barney, stop me is getting half way past.

This.

We got the stuff right above lovers.

It's fucking juice.

That flat. Yeah.

I mean, there's.

No shortage of good water.

The dead section is going to be from
the bridge you were just talking about.

Down to the dough.

Maybe it could also be gas.

Dude, there.

There's a couple pockets in there
on the right hand side.

That.

We got the fucking rug tuned up, folks.

We are. It was riding a little wonky.

Tis not now.

Fuck, yeah.

Maybe it's. Is the water,

I mean, meters.

Is this.

Oh, it's got to be.

How many laps around the track
from up there to here.

How many?

We think two, 800m.

Yeah.

No. Hey.

Yeah.

I mean, maybe 1200,

1200 meter row.

Now, I think.

Good news for the latch. Damn.

Oh, yeah,
I know whenever, whenever things are.

Not going the way I want them.

Which is really
the only time I'm rowing is like,

I'm in a rush

or shit so fucking bad that I don't.

I don't want to have someone
fishing a certain area.

Right?

I'm like, you know what

we'll get?

We'll get fucking juiced up, you know?

Yeah, get a little workout in.

I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Yeah, definitely.

I direct correlation there.

Yeah. Physical exertion
to how fast you fall asleep.

Oh my God. Oh,

I definitely,

Fuck.

What was I going to say?

Oh, yeah.

I had to talk myself into that
more than once.

Getting down to the lake.

Oh, dude, you remember that day, guys?

You said grab the motor.

Yeah.

Might be dude,
if I didn't have the motor that day,

you and I so far corner made it,
so I've had it.

Got down. Really?

Dude, I've had a couple of those days and
it's just like I the only saving grace.

There is nothing
because we're not fishing.

It's honestly, it feels like
more of a detraction from the.

Oh, hey, buddy.

Feels like more of a distraction
from the guiding.

It's not like, oh, he's working hard.

It's like, this seems unnecessary.

Yeah. What are we doing? Yeah.

Why aren't we fishing? And it.

Dude, like, if I didn't have the motor
that day, it pissed down rain.

Yeah. Two of them in the boat.

Fucking slam.

Take it. Dude,
it would have taken 2.5 hours. Yeah.

Not only was it ripping rain, it was just.

We caught one fish.

It would have been fucking for us.

Granted, it was a nice fish.

Ford.

I don't remember that guy's name,
but he just lopping

the indicator
rig out the back of the boat.

Oh, I got one.

Oh, shit. Yeah.

Nice brown.

Nice brown.

There's a real nice brown right
above the last set of shows.

Above passing it a big caddis nymph.

Fuck you on that.

On that bank on the right there
before you get to the shores. Yep.

Yeah.

I mean, he's casting like eight feet
just dragging it.

Whack.

Oh, yeah.

I like the looks of that.

Have you floated through

dog pound area after the flood yet?

Yes. I can't.

I'm pretty sure there's a new braid
there on that.

On that top shoot. Yes.

Going off to the right.

I haven't seen it at high water.

I don't know if we'll be able
to get through there in high water.

I don't think we can get through it
on low water,

but I'm pretty sure in high water
it is going to be.

Yeah. In low water it's like a trickle.

But on high water I was like,
oh fuck, that wasn't there before.

Yeah. That whole right bank.

It's always down below that shoots it's
juice is going to be totally oh dude.

So going through that
it's fucking it looks incredible because

you kind
of have to look like there's a tree there.

Right?

And it's like you can't fish
the first third.

Right. And it's just. Yes.

Got cleared out
exactly what you're saying, dude.

It's well too, you know
how we'd go through that shooting row.

Hard to fish that little island
right there to the right.

Right there was nice cobble.

That all looks different too to me.

Like a grand.

I'm only looking at low water,

but I feel like that's going to be

have new opportunity minus

some old opportunity.

Lucky

leaf Jefferson.

Lee. Still.

Jeffrey. Yo. Net.

So, having the car ready for us.

Oh, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey.

Yeager.

Bomb.

Just doing everything

in your power to not say Jeffrey Epstein.

He's a dog, He fixes trailers.

Yeah, you just does it all.

Very competent human being.

I'm sure.

Nice is shit to.

Yeah,

and the ladies called Search and rescue
for us.

Dude,

there he comes.

Oh, man.

So soon?

Good, Yeah. Counts. Doing good.

Sleeping

like.

You know, sometimes more than three hours

split.

Yeah. Pretty rare.

And, like, it's.

You know how you were saying it's a good,

Let's say good.

Six days bad. Two good.

Five bad for good.

Three bad. One.

Dude, that's a good six.

It's like that, except,

like, in between.

It's basically just feed,
you know, the feeds and the poops, right?

And so when the poops aren't going well,
they're when he's.

He just it's kind of like stands

that movie how Stella got a groove back

or maybe The Emperor's New Groove.

There's a groove that's missing, dude.

And he'll find it every once in a while.

Yeah, I'm.

There's first, like,
maybe two weeks. Luke was born.

Did he would take these naps
or he'd just, like, nap.

I mean, you were sleeping all day.

Sleeping 18 hours a day, right? Yeah.

Now, not the case.

I've grown very fond of him, obviously,
but, like, it changes for, I think.

I mean, for me,
it was, about 4 or 5 months.

Yeah.

And I'd.

Things started to change.

Dude,
that for the first couple months is just

little crass to eat here.

Something to eat right before the

the show.

Mr. herring must be on something here.

Come on.

I just have such an affinity for water
like this.

Yeah? Like when?

High variance. Right?

You know, you get.

You get the reaction factor of,
like, sink or swim.

Got to eat or not eat.

Like, that's why I feel like that section
right below

Jack's on
the Soho is often a good streamer section.

Yeah, it's got fast
water with nice pockets and.

Yeah, that left side, dude.

Yeah.

You want to push up? Yep.

Yeah, I'm going to.

There is once that you know
this logjam down here in the right corner.

Yes. The lowest

don't come on there.

But I like what.

And just keep hidden.

Hopefully
we'll have enough time to daylight left it

it down at
the might get a couple marks here.

Oh Jesus.

Sorry I you're good.

I throttled that me all much.

Let's talk about ethics.

This could be a good segment on the mic.

So about what?

Ethics of oh of fishing.

Right.

So in my head, these spots
that I'm thinking are juicy down

in front of us and like,
are the ones where I know

fish to spawn around, right.

Sure.

But my thought is not let's floss.

And like all these other guys are doing.

Like I watched a guide here last winter
down in this bottom right corner

where I'm talking about.

But up here, I'll show you exactly where.

Yeah, just anchored up anchor there
and let his guy make repetitive cast.

So they hook one
and they fight it down there.

It was a nice,
nice brown, not huge, but nice brown

that I don't think is ethical. But.

Us motoring by it and trying to incite
a chase and a reaction.

A full commit. Eat.

I don't necessarily
have an issue with that.

I don't either.

We just have barring
we don't like see it in like,

you know,
you get right in front of his nose like,

well, we just had a perfect
example of that with a fish that was

I don't know,
I thought maybe eating dries.

Yeah,
he was, but definitely on a red right.

And red zone.

Yeah.

After a handful of casts
it's like not interesting.

That dude's not even a streamer.

So we're done. Right?

It's definitely got

flies in safe neighborhood then.

Chase.

No reaction. Yeah.

He's probably across the line in terms of

we were able to get him to eat.

Oh we're not going to get in where I want.

And right here this was the drama.

Wanted the probe.

But I think we'll get hung up there
don't you.

Yep. So we'll keep moving.

So yeah.

Like that's where I think it's like.

And I have one I've heard Kelly Gallop
say similar things.

There's going to be. Oh, boy,

I, we always, Wow.

We might do it. Oh.

Or another one. Oh.

The bone yard, dude.

Yeah, we are in the bone yard, mate.

Man. Pickwick.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sucked. Dick.

So you got to kind of ask through there.

Okay. See that to the right of that rock?
To the right of the rock.

To the right of the rock.

Right then ahead.

Right. Yeah. You're it.

You got to come left, though,
and then go right.

Hang on

the top out.

Yep. That.

Oh, yeah.

Now we're cooking.

You. Knew

the old spin around right here.

Because the creature.

I feel like the difference is in that

the creature is willingly partaking

in the equation versus unwillingly.

Yeah, it's like a fucking roofie chick.

Great analogy.

Actually.

Like.

Jesus, Murphy.

Money for gold force.

We'll take the skin,

the bump and run.

Yeah.

Roofie chick is a good,

good, good sort.

I mean, the game without it
wanting to be take off, you know?

Yeah. Like,
they don't know what they're doing.

It has nothing to do with

with anything.

Well, yeah, it's actually like a, it's,

Like what?

What flies are you.

I mean, egg pattern. Like, who cares?

Fish a fucking prince nymph.

They're just right.

But I bet if, like you looked at a ratio

of how many of those fish
are actually the.

These guys are catching our hook inside
the mouth versus the outside of the face.

Just putting it right in top
half of the fish.

Yeah.

It's, you know, there's it's too high.

Like I'm sure some are you know,

they're putting in so close
they open their mouth

and they're eating it
or they're eating egg or whatever.

But I bet there's also a

percentage that are,

getting it.

We have all the low right in the world.

You know,

it's interesting, though, is it's like,

maybe it's because it's, you know,
we're releasing

and, like,
hunting the rut for deer and elk.

Yeah. Very normalized thing. Right?

Right.

But you're killing, right?

The life's over.

Yeah. And you're eating them.

Yeah.

You're interrupting,
but you're you're ending too.

You're not.

Well, same with bass.

And it's just like they're so hearty,
right.

It's I mean like, yeah, like bad
fishing tournament.

It's like, guys love that shit. Yeah.

Like they catch giants.

And it's a juicy looking gentlemen,

What do we got?

This drop into that left bend,

then the big flat in the bridge.

Oh, boy.

Keep motoring.

Bro, I got two rocks in front of me.

I would get some speed at this point.

Okay.

Believe.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

Keep talking over.

It's the most voracious. Eat.

Dude, it always is.

Going to be a good eating this shit.

Yep. Olives

is. They're going to have to.

If they want it, they're gonna have to
come up and fucking nookie you all.

Is it?

What do we got?

So, like, to the left of these rocks?

Looks like friendly.

You think to the right,
and then kind of down the middle.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, there's actually,
I would say full right, full like, well,

stay, stay where you are now
and then kind of work over to the right.

Okay.

The right side of the rocks
will be down there.

Yeah.

You can get like,
all the way over on the right hand side.

And for.

A little bump maybe here.

Should on the left of this guy.

And then back to the right.

Come on, you big old heifer.

Yeah, this was definitely the move.

Maybe, one
I think could have been avoided.

Had breaks.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Look at these people.

A little kid is out here.

They got a sick piece of property.

Fuck sake.

And cool little cabin.

In there way,

little kid is.

Oh. You're fried.

You're fried.

All right.

Motoring.

Sick.

I mean, look at that little bastard.

Yeah.

Bob's ever going to get absolutely
fucking rocked.

Bullets wasted. That's right. Do it.

Sitting right in that fire pit,
I saw sand.

You get a little.

Get yourself a cooler.

No worries. Sit.

In your room.

Got that?

Cooler. Has got my shiners in it.

Yeah, baby.

And that car got my shiners in it.

Oh, so sick house right there.

You know, I like

I just wouldn't want to live in Elizabeth.

And I don't know why.

Well, I mean, I just don't.

I would it feels, you know, you couldn't
see a little spot on the river, Matthew.

And fentanyl
for sure. There's not much of,

Community feel or call it.

Yeah, I would agree.

Yeah.

Just like it's like.

No, the main drag is the main strip,
right?

It's is me.

It's comprised
mostly of a strip mall. Right.

And it's like,

you know, I don't like,

do they have a cool little downtown
if they, like,

put some juice behind that thing.

Oh, like the old school downtown.

Yeah. Like all the shops.

Like they need to let them, like,
make them look different.

They all have, like, the same signage.

You know.

Yeah.

Get on high water. This bank.

So gas.

I'm a big fan.

Yeah.

I go right hand side here to do you. Yeah.

You sick bastard.

I am a fucking out of my mind.

You're off the red. Yeah, completely.

It is like.

I definitely feel that from.

Well, I'll.

I'll drop enough lines
before we ever get here to where

whoever's in the boat is, like,

what the fuck?

I'm fucking stuck with this dude.

Now most people enjoy it, and

this left bank is definitely top dry
flight destination.

Oh, yeah, one of the top,
but one of the top, probably ten.

It would definitely make,
I don't know, maybe five.

You think? Top five.

They're always going
right here in the summer.

Yeah. I never got a nice one.

I've I've gotten
you know I've gotten decent ones like 14

plus inch browning and dry fly.

I mean, honestly though,

when it comes to dude, that that was
what was insane about the white River.

Dude, there were studs eating dries.

And it wasn't just
you were seeing the the pools.

You saw the fish hovering under the water.

Like, I feel like we get obviously
phenomenal dry fly fishing

and I don't really care how big they are
when they're eating off the top.

Yeah, it's funny shit.

And I do also feel like that
white River deal has to be done

perfectly,
or you get out the fish and fucking blows.

Yeah.

You also, I mean,
you knew what you were doing and still.

Still got dealt a bad hand.

It sounded like
for at least a day or two, right?

Yeah. It was.

And on all around, lots of bad factors.

Terrible weather, pissing down rain,
super bony, low water guy.

It's just the fucking worst, dude.

Yeah, I just fish in low, clear water.

You think?

You know, you think of it like a
like a like a set of variables.

How many?

And like,
if you were to like, we were earlier

ranking them
as like net positive as a negative.

Yep. We had all net negative.

Yeah.

Like we didn't have one of whatever
3 or 4 factors.

We didn't have a single one. Right.

Other than cloud cover.

We had cloud cover.

So maybe we had one.

I mean that's a that's a pretty big one.

Yeah.

But like I pulled

I pulled out the string around
like new like

when they weren't even as I was like
fishing the streamer as much as I could.

I just they weren't about it,
you know, just not I want

one thing.

Moved a unit one time on this bank.

Right here to the right. Yep.

That's it.

That's the only fish I've ever seen.

This always looks so good to.

I've moved

more, damn it!

To fuck more than one.

Yeah.

Off this right side.
Kind of starting from that little creek.

Look at that fucking sand deposit.
Yeah, dude.

See? Like next heavy rain.

That thing's
going to get all blown in here.

Maybe not.

I don't know, probably depends
how hard the rain is.

I guess.

Coming through here

cooking.

You could.

Oh, Cartman,

old Sarah is going to be having attitude
when I get, Is that just.

She will.

Because I went fishing,
she had to take care of Luke by herself.

If you listen to this podcast, love you.

That's been one of my biggest pain points

because where we're.

And this is where

I have been forced to take

responsibility for.

Somewhat different

than accountability, which is,

dude, we're watching as good as it gets.

It's with Jack Nicholson.

Okay?

I mean, with a bunch of other fucking,

a bunch of other names in there, but.

He's an author,

and he's like.

Striking out of his mind like crazy OCD.

Social norms are not there, dude.

Helen Hunt's in the movie.

There's a there's a scene where she,

is running to, like, return.

And. No, she's a waitress.

She's running to return this note

because he's been like,
he wants her to wait on him

and she wasn't at work
and he's got, like, really bad OCD

and she he finds her house and,

She's

she's not coming into work
because her kids are sick.

And so he wants to help

get her kid better, like,
get a doctor and all the shit.

So she's running through because she wants
to make sure that he knows

that she's not going to take it,
and she's also not going to fucking.

This is she's not getting bored.

You know. Did she?

She shows up in a wet t shirt
and it's like a light hearted thing

because right before he gets to the door,
she's like, oh.

And like pulls her shirt out
and he's all, like, acting all proper.

But damn, bro.

Helen Hunt, early 2000 is
give me a fucking break.

He does girls in all those movies,
but like, all the like, punk

rock, like high school, college.

Like, you know what movies like genre
I'm talking about?

Like.

Yeah, fucking,
I don't know, like American Pie.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Ten things I Hate About You.

I like girl, a hot girl
that was different than a hot.

Like what they like.

That's when they started
casting, like, 26 year olds.

Is as the 17 year old senior.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's like,
but but not a ton of makeup.

Like just pure fucking nice titties.

Oh, I'm like, God, I'm
going to go to prison.

What?

I don't think so. Do.

Because literally
all of them were fucking.

First of all,
they were older than us at the time.

Just like, wait, that chicken's.

There's no way.

I mean, thinking about it now.

It's like, there's no way. No,
they were 17.

You're like hammered, hit high school.

It's no way. They're mid 20s.

They're grown women.

Oh yeah. Oh.

Although it will be interesting to go back
and look at that and be like all right

well they were all 16.

So Jack Nicholson,

he goes to this to the fucking publisher

and there's this like, secretary

who's like fucking sweating.

It's getting humid in that room.

And she's like, I have so many questions.

I've been such a fan.

I see you in and out of here,
blah blah, blah.

And he's like,
just trying to not have any of it.

She's like, let me just ask you,
how are you so good at writing

a women's perspective,

you guys?

Well, I take a man.

I remove accountability and reason.

Dude, I started dying

because that's like,
yeah, that's literally

like fight.

Oh, my God, I just got fucking munched.

You're kidding.

Coming over that show?

Yeah, just dragging it

like a chew toy. Yep.

Goddamn it.

So. Yeah.

But I mean, that's
every fight is just like.

Right.

Well, what women do that drives

me nuts is they start there.

The generally, I feel like the initiator.

That's correct.

Guys are generally just go with the flow,
whatever.

Don't have the energy to argue,
you know. Right.

Like we're not going out of our way
to start shit now.

But women generally will take the passive
aggressive jab.

Yeah. Or whatever, you know.

So it's it's the proverbial match
in the fucking house fire.

Yeah.

And then of course, you know,
like we feel insecure about something

and they punch it in.

Yeah. Stabbed a knife
in there and then we explode

and then it's all our fault.

Yeah. That's correct.

You know, our reaction is the only thing
that gets fucking judge.

That's like, wait, wait wait wait wait.

How did we get here?

But that doesn't matter.

Dude literally
wrote it out on a piece of paper.

Because she's like, I don't understand.

And that was almost epic.

Yeah, I don't understand.

Like.

It's like normal

logical reasoning means
absolutely nothing.

You know?

Oh, but but dude, so I've said this.

Like I said, Sarah and Sarah's mom, too.

Real hot take. Probably.

We'll have to edit this out.

Yeah,
I feel like maybe. Maybe not. Fuck it.

I don't care.

That is it.

To me, a statistical fact is that
the majority of women operate on emotional

senses and reactions versus logic
and reason.

Agreed?

Agreed, for the most part.

Are all women like that?

Should I make a blanket statement
like that?

No, not the case, no.

But I think generally
that is most males experience.

And why I think if you're a female,
you're always

just going to have a hell of a time
winning a presidential election.

Yeah.

Because I think immediately like 30
or 40% of the men are like, you know what?

You know,
I'm not going to say it out loud,

but in the back of my head, I'm
not going to vote for you for your girl.

And that's sexist.

It is.

It is sexist, but it's not unfounded.

Sexist.

Just get it fall off now. I had one on.

I'm sorry.

I'm not. You're good.

This a new tree too, Look at that bastard.

Big juicy sucker,

Like, is there a woman out there
who could be president?

Yes, absolutely.

The best president we ever had.

Probably.

Sure.

Was it that woman?

Absolutely. Fucking not.

So I will I will say here there is a.

Well, first of all, you're not wrong
because it doesn't matter

whether or not that woman is capable

because the voting population
is going to say, hooray!

You know, it's
I've seen this fucking song.

And well, you know, I just feel like it's
why, like why?

Like statistically two, there's more men,
right, than women in the world.

It's right.

Like birth rates
always skew like a half a percent or 1%.

Yeah. Slightly male. Right.

Like that's the way nature works.

So I don't know.

I'm just like, why?

If you're like, why throw yourself
at any type of disadvantage?

Maybe it's not a disadvantage,

but I'm sure, like I said,
there's a portion of guys who, you know,

that's what
like what's the word misogynist, I think.

Well, I mean, are you talking about the
the liberals picking Kamala, right.

Or like any, any party ever, like

I don't know.

See now I'm getting into deep water like,
well like there is a woman out there

who would probably win
who's really capable.

But I'm like, in the event
that it's not her,

why even, like,
put somebody else on the ticket?

You know what I mean?
It's a fair fight then.

Because if you lose 30% of the men, the

you know, right away, no matter what
you do, you'll never convince them.

It's like, yeah.

So that is
that's a statistically larger group.

It just depends on what you're.

I don't know,

I think it depends on who you're going for

because largely speaking, like

even these intelligent, relatively calm,
analytical, non-emotional women

who I would classify Victoria
as that 100%.

Now, you take you take a relationship

and now you have it. It's

it's no longer an analytical conversation
because we have abandonment issues.

And then we have my fucking codependent

insecurities
stopping me from fucking talking

to her about, like, wanting to go fishing
and having time on my own because I know

that she likes to spend time with me
and I'm worried about upsetting her.

Right?

Because, you know, walking 100%.

My parents and

all that, all that other shit.

And so it does become this, like.

See, that's a great point.

I just I don't think that would ever

come in to,

let's say
a, a meeting room between state leadership

because the same person
that could be super triggered by certain,

like, emotional

trauma or whatever,
like that's not going to happen

because they're in a
they're in a different set.

Yeah. They're not working with like

like dude, my ex-wife.

You're right.
She's incredibly understanding.

Our communication is bulletproof.

She's very supportive.

That was fucking impossible
when we were married.

Yeah.

Like as soon as it.

As soon as there was no

rethinking.

You're laughing right?

Right.

I mean, we got to go left
just to get through.

I also think there might be some side.

Yeah.

When it goes down.

Yeah.

I did some shots in there.

I don't know, like.

Yeah, I mean I did, but at the same time.

Yeah I see your point.

They're not going to get voted for
because dudes aren't

going to fucking vote for them, right.
Yeah.

It's like from a strategic standpoint.

So if you're the party,
if you want to win less, right.

Unless you think she has the juice
to flip those people.

Well, and that girl does exist,
I'm sure to for to for many people's

points around like

the liberals and dude the fucking

the castrated

guys walking around who

you want to talk about like in Insecure
and Codependent, they literally think that

making chicks happy,

like doing things that they seem to agree
with, means

I'm a good I'm a good guy, right?

And it's like, well, a god
that's not going to get you anywhere.

It's also not going to get you a woman
who's healthy at all.

It won't come in doing

right.

And then be, yeah, you're
literally like, it's you're preying on

and betting gambling on fucking people
being insecure.

Yeah.

Which is yeah, that's good fucking bad.

Right.

But that's what they did.

They literally played the fucking.

They played.

The people are insecure
and want to follow the pack card.

Sneaky little

fuck will drop right there.

Yeah.

It's just interesting to me.

Like I don't understand like.

But yeah I don't know.

No, no, I'm not even

pointing this towards politics.

But I feel like the,

you know,

the free thinking model of like, oh,
I'm going to be a masculine

man who does the, you know,
like is for some reason under attack. Yes.

But why, why, why would we do that?

I'm about to fucking lay it on you, dude.

Why would we do that as a country?

I'm about to either political party
lay it on you.

Why so?

All right, you might have to bear with me
on a few of these

points, but.

I, I asked my therapist about this,
and she was kind of gave me,

I don't know, certain answers, but, like,

you look at

the the generation who.

Said kissing

or hugging your son
too much will turn him gay.

And their babies.

You don't.

You know, I've.

I've kissed Luke all like you don't turn.

You don't turn. Baby's gay.

Nothing turns anyone gay.

Well, I'm not going to do that.

But what what you end up doing

is creating someone with horrible.

There's different.

Like, psychological analyzes.

One of them is attachment style.

I'm not 100% on board the
I think it captures like ADHD.

Yeah.
Whether or not it's like a certain thing.

Yeah. Doesn't capture stuff. Yeah.

So like anxious attachment style meaning

that,

you got.

You got attention.

But it was inconsistent.

And so you get fucking.

Yeah.

You want to you want to cling to
whoever it is that you're, Right.

And then there's the avoidant who

maybe never got any attention.

And so what they know is safety.

What they know is a loving
relationship is not intimacy,

even though
that's actually not what they want.

It's just like, literally
what's fucking burned into their brain,

regardless how smart they are.

And so you have a generation of people
not fucking hugging their kids

because it's going to turn them gay
and telling women

or little babies that,

you know, girls are crazy
and they cry and men don't cry.

And, you know, they're strong
and they're not going.

So both sides are completely fucked
at that point.

The entire culture is fucked, right?

The entire society is fuck

if that's how you're treating the
the two different sexes.

Shit, look at that guy. He's a big guy.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, right.

Like a little tug.

Right.

Or coming up to the Jew shoe.

Oh, yeah, buddy,
you ain't the wrong road, brother.

I don't know if there's a right road. Eat.

Okay.

Thanks for playing.

Yeah.

No no no no,

you're.

So now you have it normalized to where?

Now it's the opposite.

Where,

you know,
a strong woman doesn't need a man.

Right.

But what does that do to the guys who.

Right.

Who only fucking know
that being a good boy

means that they're able to do something,

you know, for a woman provide.

And they can't fucking provide.

And it's actually look at, like you
said, it's

it's, that free thinking

provider is now villainized

because it's misogynist and all that shit.

Wow. This changed
a whole fucking lot than it.

Look at,

Jesus.

Should I go crafty?

The riverbed over here disappear,

or those rock giant rocks
all get displaced.

I don't know,

don't really answer to that.

Sneaky.

And. Right.

So you can shoot any of that
clean stuff. We.

Mister Luke.

Coming home to get your little ass.

He's finally grown a little bit
vertically.

Yeah, yeah, he's.

He grown out. Not up.

He was grown fucking wider, not taller.

But now it seems like

a little different.

A little better.

This flat looks good,

Come on, big Jesse,

you're in this mud line hunting.

Oh, yeah. Dude,

that is way different.

Completely fucking different.

Yeah.

When I had my dad out
sometime in September, he fried a nice one

right here in front of this little
pavilion fireplace thing.

Yes, he did.

See, I want to try to park it.

This is like a social, like, club type
deal.

Rod and gun club type thing, is it?

That's what it seems like.

I drove into the parking lot the other day

and it says no trespassing, this and that.

I know that there's an RV park in there.

Yeah, yeah.

Can we slide to the right?

Here? To the right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

There normally is a bunch of RVs there,

and there's like kind of a neighborhood
back in there too.

But I'm like, man, where can I park
and come down here and fish up the bank?

Are you wanting to cast the right bank?

Yeah, I

not specifically as much right now, but,

yeah, kind of starting
after the it bends in down there.

A couple one couple.

Oh, shit.

Damn, bro.

Damn, bruh.

Yeah. No.

Great shot.

What's your Sunday looking like?

No plans.

I might be able to run out on Sunday.

Two for one. And.

Yeah, I need to.

Dude, I ordered these parts for my man
boat motor.

Yeah, the.

I got a little leak in my trim unit.

I know what I need to fix, but,
dude, it's been like two weeks.

They've been in Johnson City
since the eighth, and I'm like,

you fuckers lost what?

Where the at UPS has them.

They're at the UPS facility.
They haven't moved.

I'm like, oh they're lost.

It's like a little package.
You know. Yeah.

So I'm thinking
we have to have the company resend them,

which is going to
take a fucking another week.

Maybe a bumper year.

I can't see too well.

Yeah. Big one on the left,

I miss it.

Maybe.

Oh, no, not

the one.

Another one on the left.

On the left?

To the left.

To the left.

Everything on the boss

might get a little bumpy
through this next section.

All right, dude, this is a bank
I want ahead.

Can we sneak in a little closer here? Yep.

See? Dude,

I have fucking woken
this entire little group of trailers

up multiple times now
and been moving some really nice fish.

Yeah, yeah.

And sorry. Not moving.

Been getting full commitment
eats from really nice fish.

And anglers have been

squirting out a little diarrhea
as they lift

their rod up.

All right.

We're good.
We can keep we can cruise down.

I fuck with that right bank down here.

All right.

Fuck with that shit. Heavy.

Consistently good.

Let me know if you see any grenades.

Visibility is.

Yeah.

I think, you know,

got some good forward momentum.

I think.

Yeah, right.

Going to be tough there.

Fuck.

Nice.

There we go.

Here.

Stand.

Like that?

Yeah.

We're good.

Almost.

There we go. Oh.

We got another couple over here.

And another one right there.

Man. Or.

What's up?

On the list.

Yeah.

We wanted to hit this little top
right pocket. So

thank you.

I can't hear

I can't really hear you.

We got left.

Yes. There.

Shoot right through here.

Ready?

They got.

That guy.

Ooh! Like the.

Look at that pocket,

That's good news.

Right.

That's a spot over there

in. I feel like

the first, like, 100 yards down
through here on high.

Fucking juicy

with the revolver.

Really juicy.

Yeah,

yeah, I think we might have to switch
the missiles.

Nice shot.

Maybe Kevin Travis is up yonder.

He might be.

Yeah.

Made his way up.

Iceberg in front of us.

Again.

This way,

they get a little tighter.

You. Need this.

I'm actually just gonna.

We're gonna stick with the craft changer.

Oh, love.

As long.

I think we got the name Lover's Lane

thing back then.

He came down here and the parking made

passionate, sweet love some smashing,

some door rattling van.

If this van's a rocking.

Yeah, I mean, I think they still do.

I tell you about,

Getting that ride,

from some folks at Blevins,

with.

Will you tell me about a ride one time it
I don't with the guy in directional

relation.

Well,
he was just chilling there with his woman.

This was at night?

Yes, we had gotten there.

My dudes
fucking didn't have their keys with them.

And we're doing a little solo run.

And there was one car at the boat ramp.

And so I went up and, you know, it's

kind of a weird situation
where God gets fucking

annihilated.

We're like, I,

you know, if you go up to a fucking car,

I have to scope them out.

He's got to scope me out.

So I want to ride
eight minutes down the road.

And I went up and, you know.

It wasn't like it wasn't sketchy.

Dude seemed

in the,
like, quarter second from 30ft away.

He seemed

like a normal person. Right.

All right.

For rogue and,

Yeah, it was.

And kind of told him what the deal was.

He said. Yeah.

And, then he's like,
oh, can we go to the back way?

I was like, yeah.

He goes, I have been drinking a little
bit, you know, if you don't mind that.

Just want to be, you know, let you know.

I like

that's fine. Like, you know,

someone who's fucking
sitting in a boat ramp

with the missus,

having a few cold ones, like, I might.

I might prefer him. Yeah. Drinking.

He might fucking need that
to stay between the lines.

And yeah.

So we went the back way

and, the whole time the

the gal didn't

speak and would occasionally kind of like,

lean over and be like.

Kind of like a hey baby.

Like, you modify and like,
turn off the radio with, like,

current, like today's pop country.

And they're, you know, they're my age.

They're. Yeah,

they're mid to late 30s.

So she, you know, like

we're kind of having small talk

also eight minute drive now taking like 18
because he's going around the back

because his tail lights out
and he's drinking ballad and

Not trying to get the old double
whammy now.

And I was like, I, I can drive like.

And yes, you turn it off like,

so loud that the small talk
will just, like, very awkwardly end.

Yeah.

It was.

It's like smoke.

And I was like, now, all right. So he's,

on this, on this, on this drive now,

Ask me if I want to drink.

As he cracks open a beer

road. So to make it right.

Yeah.

And ask me if I smoke as he as he lights.

And so just on the drive there,
he's cracking open

a beer and smoke.

They're just
they're sitting at the boat ramp.

Having some fucking.

Some old man pops

the old road.

So these good on him, Yeah.

Good on keeping the American spirit alive.

And also, like,

not giving half a fuck about me

because he's giving me a ride.

Hey, look, man, I'm drinking, you know?

Yeah, I'm drinking and I'm driving
if you want to fucking ride,

that's what you got.

That's.

Tennesseans!

Good folks, man. Yep.

Good folks like the guys up there
at the trailer park. Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there's channel over there if you need it.

Yeah. Bunch of good fun. Appreciate you.

Well, dude, I call that some good fishing.

Yeah, we had a little.

I mean, dude, it got spicy from Stoney
through fucking the bottom one.

Hunter. It was pretty juicy.

I mean, shit, if we could have ran
that three times. Yep.

We probably would have smacked
a couple more

that there's some good
looking flow in there right now.

Yeah. Dude.

Like this is.

This isn't,

you know, super bony, right?

Oh. Perfect time.

I want good time.

And thanks for pushing through
some of that shit.

Fuck yeah.

Dog man.

That one

that was fucking around on
that red was definitely substantial.

Yeah, I was a big fish.

Really colored.

Really orange.

And this ramp looks totally different,
doesn't it?

Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.
Look at that fucking island.

I know.

Wasn't there before, was it? Nope.

Now it is.

Now it.

Look at this fucking deposit, dude.

Yeah.

That's wild.

Those are heavy rocks.

Doodle doodle doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

doodle do do do do do.

Do. Did

Oh, she's at home right now.

Oh. That's right.

Oh, there you go.

Thank.
