2:26
cheer the ogal the OG wow I really like cherios see I used to like them when
2:32
they added sugar to them afterwards what but that was I think I always frosted flakes are good too oh damn they're good
2:40

6:20
whole deal to this we were the Sportsman show was very generous in giving us some extra space close to our main Booth
6:26
which is what we're at right now and uh and we they said we're going to put a little Pond together and we thought the
6:32
size of the pond while they said guys it's probably not the best thing to do well let's think of so Ang and I got in the office there and clubbed it out over
6:38
a couple beers and figured out okay let's figure what we can do so we decided to do little workshop just a little workshop area with some SE what
6:45
happened to the pond you were talking about Pond how do you get from pond to working because I kep thinking I was going to be pissing in the pond all week
6:50
and I wasn't going to I wouldn't be going to the bathroom I just go to the pond and take a peace so not good to do
6:55
that in public you know what I mean hello ladies but God forbid should you control yourself
7:00
so we got a nice little workshop area there where it's going to be very secluded uh we can I mean we can let

13:32
not have it set up right at the bar Camp bar yeah right in what was the bar
13:37
called the wall the wall right yes the wall the wall so you had a people you
13:42
know they're already starting to get liquored up and then the more they drank the more they wanted to go in there it's like holy here we go that's why
13:49
they're not using I got one I wish we had a kept it we may still have it no I don't know uh Roland Martin did
13:56
one you remember it God no oh my God it
14:01
was the best it was the best anyways speaking of Roland Martin
14:08
I for those of you who aren't aware our our parent company uh Pine post
14:14
Productions does the Post production uh for the Roland Martin Show has been for a number of years so Pete and I we kind
14:22
of get a a little chance uh to have a look at the uh program before it gets
14:27
finished and so we get a sneak preview of Roland series and I got to tell you
14:33
this one episode 13 I believe right with him and his his his son Scott good for a
14:40
number of reasons first all I think it's the best episode that I've seen it is a good Roland do in 100
14:45
years um Scott was absolutely outstanding but that always is that outake that out which I don't even know
14:52
whether we could talk can we talk about it I can't see why not it's not it's not
14:58
so all right the hell with it let's talk about it yeah it's a podcast so so Scott
15:03
is very uh prim and proper and um you know always on top of hisame technically
15:09
sound technically sound very professional uh uh very straightforward
15:15
and the camera is on on him he's sitting on the first step of the bow of the boat
15:22
and so the bow is behind him and um he's explaining the color or size profile
15:28
something the bait pop something about the bait he's using using yeah one of one of his
15:33
sponsor products probably I think it was I think it is and so he's very into it
15:39
like he's in depth now right you could see he's totally into it totally focused he's explained all the you know he's
15:45
explaining the little you know nuances about the bait and the color the importance and like as an audience
15:52
member I was like I was right in there with him right and then all of a sudden
15:57
behind him these two feet come walking up onto the deck of the boat and they just Saunder on over to this corner of
16:06
the camera yeah right where the a picture of trolling motor picture where the trolling motor would be and he
16:12
starts urinating over the side of the boats not in the back of the boat where the cameraman is right behind Scotty and
16:20
Scott is trying to keep a straight face and then he couldn't help it anymore and it's just the most hilarious scene and
16:27
Roland says something like oh were you shooting yeah or something like that it's great oh was the best it is so
16:34
rolling it is so roling too bad you can't include that in the show oh my God it' be a great I mean an out take a week
16:41
or something like that Roland you'd have you'd have gold every week anyways I by the way I watched uh one of Roland's
16:47
shows yesterday on uh on the big screen because we an and I as we say it we we watch it here but it's all on computers
16:53
you don't really get a good screen and it looked really good in the GoPro stuff all those little cutaway stuff and that
16:58
looks really good so Joe Joe is doing an outstanding job on that one too everybody here at Pine post is doing an
17:04
outstanding job come on now okay but I just want Joe some props because nobody ever talks about Joe well Joe you know
17:10
he's that kind of guy he's uh very secretive he doesn't he's not uh it doesn't mean he doesn't like a little
17:15
compliment every now and then you go right ahead buddy I just did you go right ahead thank you um where were we
17:22

17:29
handsome package right sometimes he's a little grumpy but that's you know and it shows on his you know eyebrows and stuff

17:47
Klingon if you you know accentuate a little bit more that that Ridge sounds like a Klingon he talks like a Kling on

20:06
listener feedback Comes To Us by Big J Gordon right I big J Gordon via
20:14
YouTube uh thank you big J Gordon in response to episode9 your reindear is
20:20
poisoning you oh wow what a that was enlightening episode wasn't it it's kind of weird and that and that you start
20:27
looking afterward and all these forever chemicals it's just what isn't what doesn't have them in there almost but
20:33
this one it was it hurt it cut deep because we've been so reliant on you
20:38
know gortex and stuff you know you more than anybody you used to sell the too sold millions of pieces of gortex
20:46
you were poisoning people I was poisoning people I did not realize this was awesome I watched Steven's videos on
20:52
the subject when they came out and it really was an eye opener I could never understand why I was always soaked at
20:57
the end of the day with my quote breathable waterproof unquote suit uh the humidity explanation made it Crystal
21:03
Clear what was going on I'm still depressed because I can't stay dry Beyond about 2 or three hours but at
21:09
least I know there is nothing I can do about it thanks for a great interview fellas you're welcome that was a very
21:16
good piece it was now now we're we're we're also I think there's a bit of a
21:21
disclaimer if we didn't do it with that episode we'll do it now um this is not
21:26
the definitive no right study I'm sure there's more to
21:32
come on this subject but it's an eyeopener and you really you need to
21:37
check it out it's one of those must do if you're in the outdoors at all and if
21:43
you're a believer in waterproof breathable uh garments you have to see
21:49
this episode if you haven't already done it really uh big J Gordon didn't explain
21:54
the whole thing he was more of just the waterproof versus not waterproof nothing about the poisoning that's the one you
21:59
want to get in listen an on tip because I'll tell you what uh it was very yeah as an says just eye opening whoa
22:06
shocking uh shocking could explain the tench could it not sure could could it
22:13
be shocking well we could shock them up get a shocker boat you go so they're shocking load him up into the boat uh
22:20
it's the tens of the fish that invaded almost every corner of the planet aside from Antarctica and caused notable
22:26
damage in regions where they they in public the answer in if if you're wondering what he's talking about this
22:32
this is conservation Corner brought to you by the invasive species Center thank you well I just it's over now is that
22:39
all we have to do now no but I just wanted I I felt compelled to throw that out there we we can close with that too
22:44
though we could we could carry on the ten is a mediumsized media deep body fish with small scales rounded Fin finza
22:52
and a single bar barble on each side of the mouth the strike of olive colored fishes you can see by the picture were brought into Canada
22:59
illegally as usually this is the way it happens with these invasives in 1980 in
23:04
1986 and they escaped and made their way up the sa La Lawrence River although not established in the Great Lakes they have
23:10
been reported and spotted in the Bay of quiny in Lake Ontario have you ever seen one no sir I have not how do you know
23:16
that no I I know I would I would have known I mean I I'm pretty good at if I
23:21
see something very different as for instance I caught a fallfish on pod as
23:26
Lake where' the fall from it well it was in in the spring but it made it through to the fall oh you
23:32
caught a fish in the fall it was born in the spring and it made you know yeah the fall I looked at that fish and I said
23:39
what the hell is that and took a picture of it and uh found out I thought it was a chub fish a big chub and then uh not
23:47
that you know anything about a big chub but no thank you God he's all over those drums now we're going to have to take
23:53
that button away from him or we just going to shut up and just do do our job
23:59
properly um and yeah I took a picture and then looked it up and I thought what the hell is this thing I thought for sure what it was and it was a a fallfish
24:05
so I I I know I'm 99 I'm not going to say 100% 99% sure I've never caught one of those does that seem odd though I
24:12
mean if they've been around since 1986 and I all the time would you think
24:18
that but they don't bite right so you'd have to I don't know if maybe they bite but the the baits that we use I don't
24:24
think they bite I think they when guys fish for tench over in England CU they do fish for it they for them over there
24:29
use little tiny maggots and little be tiny stuff and all that to get them so um but if I do see one what am I going
24:37
to do an well I'll tell you right now before you even see one you should arm yourself with the knowledge especially
24:43
on it being able to identify this little critter uh best way to do that is to go
24:49
to the uh first of all if you see one you let me address that first go to the uh invading species hotline or uh you
24:56
can go online at Ed maps.com Ed
25:02
maps.com that's what happens if you do see one or catch one inadvertently uh or
25:07
or snag maybe you could snag suppose you know if they're that big how about how about if
25:13
you're minut is this legal uh if you're netting bait yeah it's it's it is legal yes if
25:20
you're netting bait and you have one in your dip in your net you should probably
25:25
now start looking at the content I think you need to do that everybody
25:31
needs to do that for sure like all the time for not just this guy for everything or girl but inter I wonder
25:39
what the regulations are on that now that I think of it for netting Bait fish yeah if you see something like that well
25:45
same thing commercial uh because there's people that hold commercial licenses for
25:50
uh catching bait yeah of course I wonder if they're required to look for that cuz
25:55
I mean these guys get millions millions of fish T fish in one day how
26:02
do you how do you check it all out well I mean they go yeah I mean the bait fish
26:07
guys I know back in the day back in the day we used to get sticklebacks in there
26:13
Shiner muds you know there's all kind of different ones yeah the odd little we bluegill or something like that there
26:20
should they should be regulated sure I'll tell you one thing they should be doing whether you're a a a commercial uh
26:27
bait guy or not whether you have a license or not you should be connected with the invasive species Center website
26:33
where all of this information is available and I'm sure they'll tell you everything you need know EDD maps.com Ed
26:41
maps.com there you go uh in the news come on
26:47
now brought to you by J
26:52
andb uh your outdoor Superstore J andb now I first knew these
26:59
guys before they were even me before you wow and before uh Rob owned it uh
27:07
because they used to be called jmb cycle in Timmons another J&B cycle and Marine I
27:14
don't even know whether they're into cycle anymore but I know they're big and Marine in fact they are the largest the
27:20
largest the largest Mercury Princecraft dealer in the province of Ontario give
27:28
me a hell yeah hell yeah I'll give may be the largest Mercury Princecraft dealer in the country of Canada for all
27:34
I know oh boy I think you serving yeah and they've been
27:40
servicing their customers since 1970 you could buy uh fully rigged boats
27:45
you can buy Boats and Motors individually you can buy all kinds of things they they also have a really cool
27:51
package there we're not going to talk about that right now but it's one of the few if not it might even be proprietary
27:57
to jmb cycle you can actually lease or rent I guess be called lease you can
28:03
lease a boat for your cottage a pontoon boat for example Princecraft pontoon
28:08
boat you can lease it for your cottage for the summer that's it at the end of
28:13
the summer they come they pick it up say thank you very much awesome we'll see you next year and then next year that
28:19
big Prince crap that we had up at Nordic Point Lodge that could be at your dock
28:24
your Spring to Fall full of gas tied to your dock with bumpers included bumpers
28:31
included Jesus everything ready to go you just turn the key you know how they say add gas and have fun well in this
28:38
case the gas is added already all you have to do is turn the key and off you go and you use it all summer long and
28:46
then at the end of the summer you call them up and say okay we're ready to get this baby out of here and J&B site J&B
28:54
Marines send their their crew down they pick the boat up on a beautiful trailer and they take it away never to be seen
28:59
again and at that time you can renew for next year for a new boat you might want
29:05
to change the style of boat you might want to change the size of boat you might want to change the color hell
29:10
maybe you just want to impress the neighbor because the neighbor doesn't know that you're not buying this baby right so maybe what you want to do is
29:17
impress him and that you're turning the stuff over every year cuz you don't care money money doesn't mean a damn thing to
29:22
me I want a blue one next year you just show up with a blue one and they go say whoa I like that hey Bobby dazzler Bobby
29:29
dazzler at his best I like that good idea it's all uh J&B cycle uh uh and you
29:36
can go to JB cycle.com is where their website is located come on now indeed now uh they brought they brought to you
29:43
the news right see you Nick see you buddy movie mov yeah no he's got lunch
29:49
he's got the movie's G pause you should go to the theater and get the real the newest the newest
29:55
release and then you can come back and tell us all about it
30:04
in the news Mr Bowman in the news the news title is proposed ban on deep
30:09
waterer Musky fishing forward facing sonar to blame brought to you by J
30:16
Marine here we go again uh where is this oh there so Leech Lake Minnesota very
30:22
popular Lake in Minnesota Anglers are concerned at the relatively new phenomenon of targeting Muskies in
30:28
pelagic areas of Leech Lake in early summer so pelagic areas meaning the the
30:33
deeper water the basins Open Water like no structures no nothing nothing and
30:38
more people are finding fish in these areas now uh although they've been there forever many angles report catch rates
30:45
of 5 to 15 large musky per day out in these areas during this time period June
30:51
through mid July in addition Anglers report dead muskys floating in these areas and washing the shore I'm assuming
30:58
they're trying to blame that on mishandling uh more contact with musky
31:04
more fish being harmed more fish are going to die they you mean Angler's report so right off the Hop to me they
31:11
could be the anti forward facing sonar people making up stories they don't have to prove that I'm saying they could they
31:19
feel free to editorialize my friend that's what I'm doing never let the good story be ruined by the truth they want
31:25
to blame me for something you better prove it take me over to that musky you show me all those dead muskies on the
31:30
shore there people the deep water habitat uh muskies utilize after spawning make them susceptible to
31:36
angling pressure in the means uh in a means that was not historically possible
31:41
which is the forward facing sonar because a Musky of all fish shows up
31:48
quite well on forward facing sonar when it's suspended especially right it's going to it's hard not to see if you're
31:54
in the right area it's hard not to see that fish because you're big don't get me started on this because you
32:00
know how I feel about this the proposed regulation from the opening of the Minnesota musky season through the
32:06
Saturday following July 4th angling for muscal lunge in 20 feet of water or
32:12
greater is prohibited oh so first of all that's a beauty that one how do you police that
32:19
yeah how do you know that that angler is trolling at 20 ft as opposed to 21 well
32:28
number one I would probably say there's going to be more casting than trolling because it doesn't say anything about
32:35
doesn't say anything about trolling or casting it just says anging understand I understand that but I'm looking at the musky fraternity if they are out
32:43
cherry-picking these muskies with forward facing soner they're probably casting versus all right right I'm going
32:49
to give you that one I shouldn't but I'm going to give you that one because I'm feeling very magnanimous and very
32:54
generous so I'm going to give you that one word we're talking about uh folks who are standing on the bow of their
33:01
boat looking at their screen in big open water and they're casting these giant
33:06
baits I'm with you good so let's do that I just threw
33:13
that and now I'm waiting and I'm waiting and now I decide to reel
33:19
in how in the hell is anybody including me going to
33:25
know that my twin blade uh Pink lady is coming back at the boat at the 20 foot
33:31
Mark as opposed to 25t Mark 20 ft of water or greater right that's the bottom
33:37
that's at least 20 ft of water so they're saying if you're out there casting that big stuff you're not allowed to be out there the boat is not
33:44
going to be in 20 ft of water or more then is that what you're saying yeah the boat is in 20 ft or they're angling in
33:51
20 ft or deeper of water oh so they can't even be over 25 ft of water de and
33:58
saying that that's the way I'm reading it yeah that's right well well that's even worse of course it is that's even worse I'll tell you why it's worse what
34:04
if I'm in 25t of water with the boat but I'm casting to
34:10
shore well you better get your ass into the 10 feet and cast out wow that's it's screwed up a bunch
34:17
of they can't there a bunch of thank you Dean they can't regulate uh everything else in this world but how
34:23
are they're going to start adding that into it you know I mean I think they're hoping that like if anyone's going to police themselves it would probably be
34:29
the musky guys musky and bass guys normally police themselves I feel like okay can you that for sure right explain
34:37
to me the significance of this 20 foot Mark please I'm not a Musky guy but apparently it's just they're more
34:43
vulnerable because they move from the spawning grounds right out to that range so they'd be more susceptible to like
34:50
exhaustion or over exertion or something but they what they do so let's let's look at a Musky lifestyle they go in
34:56
Shallow they spawn they their thing like that some of them stay shallow whatever whatever but after the spawn a lot of
35:02
them take off to the Deep to recoup but in the in the sense of recoup time part of the recuperation is eating as well
35:09
right well these fish will never targeted before everybody's got this shallow this just Shoreline oriented fishing on their minds for casting they
35:16
all got this show let's hit these uh points let's hit that nice beautiful Shaw let's hit all the stuff that's up in this structure based uh now there's
35:23
zero structure these fish are out there in the open hitting open eating open water fish and that's what
35:28
that's what they're basically saying you can't Target these fish cuz they're resting it's
35:34
dumb but it is what it is okay I make my case once again if I'm
35:40
in 10 ft of water mhm and I'm casting to 50 ft of water yep big so big break
35:46
there there's a big a big how are you going to police that how are they going to police any of it honestly they're
35:54
going to just another regulation to put in place that some bureaucrat I'm sure came up with this
36:00
brilliant idea that is going to protect the musky from from extinction
36:07
because he's going to force you to find another way to circumvent the system in
36:13
the meantime that bureaucrat just made an extra year of income because that's
36:19
how long it's going to take to get the legislation through I'm sure if it's not already there probably going to take an
36:25
entire committee because of course this would have go in front of a committee first which means that they have to
36:30
probably bring in I don't know 12 14 people to Boondoggle for a year just go
36:35
and have have at it and once they get her done they'll write her up and say there you go we're in place now the one
36:43
problem I think this has as well is that so this is just a one Lake policy I think or maybe a couple Lakes but now
36:49
someone like me knows that these fish out in 20 ft are super easy to catch and I never knew that because if they're
36:55
banning it on one Lake it must be because they're so easy Honestly though boys that's been many times shown on YouTube already
37:04
it's there is out there it's already and people are just the typical for facing soner has changed has has completely
37:09
changed the game let's be honest about it but you know as you were saying that earlier on when you're bringing this I I
37:15
I I I hearkened back a kazillion years and I think somebody back a kazillion
37:20
years ago probably said hey hey hey whoa whoa time out you can't be fishing from
37:26
a boat that's that's not that's illegal the fish don't have a chance they don't
37:32
stand a chance now you're going to go out in the water and fish for them oh no way we got to continue it's it's a Shore
37:38
thing man that's cheating oh no we got to Outlaw boats I wonder now so
37:44
obviously it's it's they're they are also targeting see they shouldn't really be targeting the trolling guys because
37:50
the trolling guys have done that forever let's be honest the good Anglers that you know they TR they troll the short
37:56
they troll this do they do that now with forward facing sodar they could be more efficient at trolling right much as we
38:03
know much more efficient yeah I get it for sure but I mean so what do they so
38:09
do they take the just ban the for fishing Sona off your boat which is ridiculous why would you do that but
38:15
it's weird it's just getting out of hand obviously right and it's there's there's going to be opposition to everything in
38:21
this world if we like this they don't like that if we don't like that somebody else likes that it's just the way it is
38:27
I don't know how that's going to pan out but for you folks in Minnesota um you might want
38:33
to you might want to look into it and if it hasn't already been put into place
38:38
but it sounds like it has you might want to look at the cost of implementing and
38:44
then policing this new found salvation for musky um 20 ft my ass anyways all
38:52
right uh fan question of the week brought to you by the good Folks at Fishfinder mouse.com come on now there
39:01
they are baby oh oh it's a Musky too that is that me that could be that's
39:07
you yeah it could be you could be you or somebody who looks like you a profile there well of course it is may have
39:14
needed a shave that day no you never need anything you got this one white hair
39:20
sticking straight down I try I do that in the morning I put it oh oh you I find
39:25
it what do you call it curl it you keep pulling it and it it just because you got it looks like a pubic hair just on
39:32
your on your for a well I didn't want to say anything you
39:38
you I'm just telling it like it is okay yeah thank you looks like a white pubic
39:43
hair leave that there I'm going to get one painted I'm going to get a tattoo a white pubic hair tattooed to my forehead
39:49
uh fed question of the week brought to you by fishfindermounts.com and and who Among Us who Among Us that
39:58
has tried a fishfindermounts.com product cannot say that this has got to be the
40:05
best engineering in the business we've we've heard in the Marine business we've only
40:11
heard positive about it and those that haven't used it are wanting to use it which is even more positive guys I need
40:17
where do you get that where I need that stuff so we've had guides fishing guides approach us of course and saying guys
40:24
this is the bomb what do we got here how do we get it are at the uh the the Toronto Sportsman show that we're at
40:30
right now I haven't seen them yet I haven't seen them yet I've been walking they would have told us if they were coming I think right pretty good
40:36
relationship with the guys yeah they should be there shouldn't they you think so maybe Lawrence is going to be there
40:41
maybe a little setup or something like that we'll find out he might be here all right somewhere we'll check it out
40:47
that's Matt Dugan calling us by the way Matt Dugan good Irish Bo there huh
40:53
yeah um question is can you provide some insight SL comments on fish handling for
41:00
healthy releasing who who asked who asked this question some fish finder guy loves Fishfinder mounts Trevor Spitz or
41:08
Trevor spitzy but I'm going to say spits SP p i TS e via email via the email so I
41:16
do have a disclaimer this is from email so it technically does not qualify uh we
41:21
had a lack of quality YouTube comments okay so this is not a a winning
41:27
are qualifi to even be in the running do mean you didn't you guys shouldn't have said anything you just should have
41:34
should have read it that way hey now Trevor's G to come not to get off topic but and and before we get to Trevor's
41:39
question something that I checked out or noticed or anyways that I've been meaning to talk to you about that I
41:46
would like to maybe implement the change too if at all possible MH is that when
41:54
somebody submits and qualif ifies to be the question of the week
42:02
mhm should they not be required also to be
42:09
watching the episode and here's why I'm saying that
42:15
so they should reach out to us and say hey I heard myself or they can take a snapshot right I'm assuming somewhere on
42:22
the screen during this thing Trevor's name and or whatever question is going
42:28
to be somewhere here somewhere I'm assuming that and uh all you do is take a snapshot of that and send it to you
42:36
saying hey I'm Trevor you guys read my question and here's the snapshot uh
42:42
thank you very much for the 100 buckaroos available on fishing canada.com yeah that's a good idea I
42:48
like that because everybody's doing that there's a reason they're doing it there's probably a reason why we're not doing it because we're idiots I'm always
42:54
assuming that when we're not doing something we're idiots m and everybody else is brilliant yeah so can we make
43:00
that change yeah because that kind of makes sure that you know people are connected with the the they're committed
43:06
to winning yeah they're not just throwing questions out there and then going on vacation yep yeah no I agree
43:12
and we we have actually had people have beat me to like I usually reach out to
43:18
them after like like a day right most people beat me to it oh so we do have a very engaged audience oh very good there
43:25
you go nice but but this might be just one more connection that we have with them right yep can you throw in an extra
43:32
t-shirt if they beat Dean beat Dean beat Dean if you beat Dean you actually get
43:37
an extra then you get free shipping and there whatever there well you get it already yeah that's 100 bucks you do de
43:44
throw a fishing can I like beat and Dean I like beat and Dean something about beat and Dean that
43:49
really catching right it's very ear catching I'd like to beat Dean yes you
43:55
know if truth were known I mean with a with a wet Pike with a dead Pike uh
44:00
maybe a carp maybe a a garpike gar pike that's nasty damp dampish garpike
44:07
probably yeah their scales are pretty to be Dean I like that we have to see we have to work on that Dean see see we
44:15
we'll make a t-shirt yeah beat Dean with a wet garpike I love
44:21
it all right Trevor says excuse me no does not say that yeah
44:28
he's done that once but you once scoffed carry on what does Trevor say oh
44:35
can you provide some insight SL comments on fish handling for healthy releasing and safety for the angler that's a big
44:41
one too people don't realize this could be a long discussion based on the type of fish but just general comments would
44:47
be good for example catching and releasing a Musky are there general rules to keep the fish healthy and alive
44:54
question mark so first of all first of all first of all most of us the odd
45:03
exception most of us are not scientists and we are certainly not MediCal
45:09
practitioners when it comes to fish and most of us although we we're well-intentioned
45:16
we don't have the definitive answer on what is safe practice and what's not
45:22
safe practice when it comes to handling fish so a lot of this is common sense we've for years been talking about
45:28
staying away from the Gill area of a fish avoid making contact with
45:34
gills and and that's not because we're we have a scientifically sound reason
45:40
for it we're just coming up with the conclusion that if you reach into somebody's lungs and handle their lungs
45:47
chances are they're not going to farewell and that's what gills are for a
45:53
fish that's the lung area so for sure for sure you want to avoid that for years we've been talking about the the
46:01
coating that each fish has uh to various degrees a slime coat we call it because
46:07
we don't know what it is other than it's designed to protect them from bacteria we believe once again we're not MediCal
46:14
practitioners makes sense but it's Common Sense those are the two most common sense things when it comes to
46:20
releasing fish do not muck around with their gills and try and not remove any
46:27
of the Slime coat that the fish comes with when you catch it those are two
46:33
basic areas to keep in mind and then there's about a thousand other things that you have to also do as a Dos that
46:39
you have to be aware of Y yeah true I think the the in the musky sense I mean the the quote normal procedure is to
46:47
have a gigantic net like a big Big Kahuna fry bill or whatever every model
46:53
you want they they're massive they they drop about 5 ft in depth too in in the
46:58
basket and you basically scoop the fish up leave them in the water her in the water pull the hooks out cut the hooks
47:06
out if they if they're in deep which is another thing for fish care on muskies is is a whole science in itself and then
47:12
you let the fish recoup as much as possible in there if you want to measure the fish then you quickly bring the fish
47:18
into the boat have the board already ready lay on the board quick picture and drop it back on the water um musky guys
47:25
are very good guys and girls musky Anglers are very good at uh at treating their fish the way they should be
47:30
treated but they're equipped for it right when you catch one fluky then that's when it's trouble that's when
47:36
it's trouble because all of a sudden you're bass fishing and it happens all the time happens to us every season you
47:41
catch a great big 43 44 46 inch musky what do you do well yeah I wouldn't mind
47:46
it's in season I wouldn't mind getting a picture of it and you got a whole show going on sometimes right so you just got to be careful you be common
47:53
sense as an said earlier bass I one thing I don't like about about the bass angling Fraternity in and I I've said
47:59
this before is that it's craning him into the boat crane him in the boat and let them drop in the bottom of the boat
48:05
and on the carpet and on the floor and all that although now I mean like a prince Craft's got vinyl probably a little better for the carpet I think is
48:11
worse but I just don't know if that's good for a fish or not it doesn't seem to be that I can tell you it's not I just don't I don't do I'm not a
48:17
scientist right I fund fish for bass all the time and if they're big I put a rubber net under them and if they're not
48:23
then I if I crane them in I grab that grab my line and grab the fish he does not touch the deck of the boat so that's
48:29
one thing I mean tro Anglers they're very good like brown tro Brook tro Anglers with that little net the fly
48:35
fishermen especially they they treat their fish like perfectly um there's you
48:40
just got to use common sense let's keep the in the water as much as you can out of the water very little that's all I do
48:47
do the the Slime coat that they have mucus mucus coat I think is or mucus membrane it does I mean it's been proven
48:53
you see it sometimes when it gets scraped off a fish there's a little spot where infection actually hits it so it does happen that it it seems to stop
49:01
infection if there is an infection in there so yeah Common Sense do what that guy right there with the hair sticking
49:06
out of his head there is is doing he's releasing that fish nicely by the tail holding it there hey little musky
49:12
bye-bye have fun have a good day have a nice life uh hopefully wonder if he cut that in 20t of water or more I i' be
49:18
that looks like more than 20t of water know that I know where the guy caught that fish it wasn't 20 ft but but it's
49:24
probably close the best idea is to have as little time with the fish out of the
49:30
water as you possibly can that's yeah everybody wants that hero shot now that seems to be the big thing I I that's a
49:36
whole other discussion for a whole other day but um little contact as possible there are
49:44
some jurisdictions that are now talking about maybe looking at angling without
49:51
hooks um so that well I know we laugh but oh yeah but it may come to that in
49:56
some cases and there you get the thrill of the fight the hunt whatever you want to call it you you it's man against fish
50:05
and you figure it out and you finally get that fish that you've been hunting for God knows how long you get them on
50:10
the line you do your thing with them you get that thrill and then uh the fish just swims
50:16
away um with no damage at all because there's no hooks on the bait so I'm not
50:23
suggesting we go there quite yet but it's another viable way to continue
50:30
the sport right then it becomes a real sport at that point in my opinion right what if I want to eat them well then you
50:37
go to a predetermined uh body of water grocery store like or you go to a grocery store there you go you know I
50:44
mean using that I listen we're going to regardless we're going to piss people off No Matter What viewpoint we have
50:51

53:52
at this show maybe you were at the booth last year yeah we were but we were doing business well you got to look around
53:57
it's just like looking up signs Dean says there's 100 signs here you look at your toes all day long earn our keep is
54:04
there a s sign up guys I don't know where we have to earn our keep some of us have to go that Booth you what were
54:10
you selling at that Booth I was selling you yeah trying to sell you go with
54:17
that that's prettyy much a lost cause but anything else oh God he yes I think
54:23
they are selling here at the show I was just kidding of course uh what else so the main story is about
54:30
us Peter you me the 40 years oh my God all things fishing finally we got a
54:35
story about us we haven't I think we already blew we blew our budget on that one at the beginning of the show I
54:40
believe well other than to uh remind folks if you are not a regular viewer of
54:46
the fishing Canada show that in 2026 January of
54:52
2026 of the 40th Edition of the series will be
54:57
premiering 40th Edition wow 40th edition of the
55:03
series many series that can say that no no you're absolutely right not many how
55:09
we've baged is beyond me I have absolutely no idea well yeah that's I
55:15
mean I'm sure that's a whole podcast in itself many have come and gone yeah many
55:20
have come and gone as as it is normal in the production
55:26
world right most Productions have a cycle they have a beginning a middle and an end and those Cycles are designed
55:32
right at the beginning right in concept most TV series they say okay this is a fiveyear series and they lay
55:39
out the whole five years and say here's where we're starting and here's where we're going to take it and then on that
55:45
the fifth year we're going to sign off and say Sayan we're going to move on to our next project that's normal yep of
55:52
course because we had no direction to start with we had no where were going we didn't know where we came
55:58
from and we sure as hell didn't know how we were going to get to where it is we were going uh we just uh it was like
56:04
Perpetual like a free-for-all it was a free-for-all like it is now like this conversation is absolutely perfect
56:10
explanation right here right here so here we are uh how do these guys let's
56:16
say a uh a Reacher it's it's in a third season right now yeah so they they they
56:23
all base it on Revenue right that's what I was going to say like are they making more obviously they're making money are
56:29
they wouldn't be keep doing this right they base it on Revenue so a lot of times you'll see uh series will go on
56:36
for two years three years and then they'll go dark yes for two or three years yes and then all of a sudden oh
56:42
there's season four coming up yeah all based on finance it's expensive to do
56:47
right finance and also being able to sign the principal uh Talent back on or
56:55
in some cases get wanting to get rid of the principal talent and replace it with something else because there's been some argument whatever the case may be
57:02
something ain't right when you see it stop after two or three seasons and then come back a year later something went
57:08
wrong usually Finance yeah but Okay the reason that that you have to have a
57:14
beginning and middle and an end because otherwise you can't forecast a budget right how the hell do you forecast a
57:20
budget right so you have to have something you guys never did in the show did you probably I didn't know how to
57:26
spell budget right it is kind of a weird spelling of that word it is got that D and the G like why would why is there a
57:32
D in there bud budit has to be in there but it's not Git it should be you know I don't know
57:39
maybe it is git for all I know have you watched the third season of Reacher yet have you been watching that you know
57:44
that you know of course you know a big Reacher is yes there's a bigger guy who kicks the out of them I he fraking
57:51
Towers above Reacher it's that big so you see now there's a case where they had to go find somebody bigger than oh
57:58
yeah that could that could act well he's not the best actor in there let's just
58:03
say that his lines are not too extensive I'll be best I'll give one little thing
58:10
away in this one Reacher's doing a contest with him because he's big guy they got into an armrest thing sort of contest and Reacher says he's grabbing
58:16
his arm he says okay I can pull your arm down I can pull your I know I can pull your arm down he's like that then he lets his hand go and the guy hits
58:22
himself in the freaking head just knocks himself out so good anyway anyways where were we oh
58:30
uh yeah how we got 40 years 40 years 40 years 40 this was 40 years this moment
58:35
right now that we're speaking to you this moment was made 40 years ago was
58:41
designed 40 years ago apparently 40 years from now uh Ang and I won't be
58:46
around but your kids can talk about it might be around next week for God's
58:53
sakes anyways uh lot of fond memories as you can imagine we've had the pleasure
58:58
of working with some incredible people throughout our careers a lot of great co-hosts have come and gone but the the
59:06
constants are right here uh We've managed to hang in there for almost four
59:12
decades now so yeah good bad or and different we're still here yeah man so
59:17
the so people can just what is it more of a memory going down memory lane when they uh for us to get in the booth or
59:24
the interview with them let's say or the booth is explain that a little better for them here what we're doing here is just celebrating the fact that we got 40
59:31
years behind us and I I I would like people to stop in and share we've got great stories about the 40 years we've
59:38
got a million stories oh my God I started writing them down but it's just it's it's endless to try and and we'd
59:43
like to share those with you but probably more importantly we'd like to hear your stories about your connection
59:50
with the fishing Canada brand because everybody's got a different story everybody connected in a different way every everybody gets different things
59:57
out of fishing Canada we get different things out of fishing Canada so we want to kind of share those things with you
1:00:05
live at the Toronto show and our camera people will be running around with cameras and mics and trying to capture
1:00:11
those moments so that we can put them on this series the 40th anniversary series which will be airing in January starts
1:00:18
January of 2026 and uh uh each episode will have
1:00:23
some of those moments that we capture uh between the confessional booths you know a lot of people don't like to talk
1:00:30
in front of other people well we we've designed it so that you can go into a little area draw the curtain and uh
1:00:37
spill your guts out to the camera good bad or indifferent lot some of you might have some negative things that you don't
1:00:42
want to say in front of us but you can certainly say it on the camera behind the curtain right yeah they if they have
1:00:49
a question on an episode they could do that too they hey guys I remember that time when you guys what actually
1:00:55
happened or how did that happened they could do anything of that right absolutely I think that would be the best can you imagine uh because a lot of
1:01:01
stuff we've forgotten oh my but could you imagine by talking to folks
1:01:06
here they all of a sudden boom yeah I forgot all about that moment right great yeah so I look forward to that yeah
1:01:13
should be great should be wonderful of course we'll be uh doing autograph sessions we also have a place uh called
1:01:20
Ang and Pete's Workshop which is just across from our booth kitty corner uh
1:01:26
we're going to have guests uh there uh we're going to ask them questions these are people in the industry whether
1:01:32
they're manufacturers agents uh uh guides Lodge owners uh Ang Pro Anglers
1:01:39
tournament people like whatever you name it uh we're going to sit them down in front of you and we're going to ask them
1:01:46
questions that we would like to know about them so I think some you can ask the odd question too the audience can get involved in there for sure but it's
1:01:53
called a workshop for that reason the audience might want to ask us and or the guests something in particular about the
1:02:00
way that a certain bait works for example exactly and and how and when to use that bait well the workshop area is
1:02:07
the place for that and the fish and Canada booth area will be the place to talk about uh the celebration of this
1:02:13
wonderful brand called fishing Canada and uh we're here all week it's going to be a blast going to be absolute riot
