Might as well talk while you fish! Entertainment for those who like to fish and talk while fishing.

Labor Day 2024 - Catch a Bass and Put Her/Him/It back in the Water where they Belong. 09/04/2023

Labor Day 2024 - Catch a Bass and Put Her/Him/It back in the Water where they Belong. It was truly awesome to get outside and on the Lake today at Umstead Park in Raleigh, NC. I made it a quick trip with the goal of catching a nice sized Bass. Mission was accomplished. I will say this episode is an example of how important is is to be prepared when things go unexpectedly wrong. Unless I am fishing for food (only a few times in my life), I always catch and release (A River Monster Jeremy Wade lesson). However, sometimes when fishing the hook gets swallowed a bit by the fish into the deeper regions of their mouth. Thats what happened in today's episode, but thankfully I was prepared to save the fish. I used my 12 inch long hook remover (looks like forceps from a doctor's office). Using the hook remover, I was able to safely take the barbed hook out of the Bass's deep mouth area and put Her/Him/It back into the Lake where they belong. The Bass was about 17 inches long and 3.5 lbs, and I hope he grows to 28 inches 15 lbs when I catch him in 10 years from now. Bass can live up to 25+ years. They are very cool fish. Why I will save a Bass every time I catch one? I owe it to owning a 10 gallon aquarium when I was in my youth, as well as growing up in Virginia Beach. My Dads (I had two as my Mom remarried) both taught me this at a young age - never kill a fish unless we need it for food. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/27938280

First 2023 True Bass Catch on Mother's Day (Mother Nature Day) 05/15/2023

First 2023 True Bass Catch on Mother's Day (Mother Nature Day) Made it a quick win today on Mother's day and finally caught that first Bass of the year while recording. Last week Dwayne and I received an assist by a large raptor who dropped the bass. I didn't get a chance to take a picture as I had to take my time removing the hook so as not to hurt his gills or stomach. Felt great to catch a bass on Happy Mother Nature day. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/26847741

Buddies Dwayne and John Reunite to Fish and Talk 05/14/2023

Buddies Dwayne and John Reunite to Fish and Talk Buddies John and Dwayne get together for the first time in about 1. 5 years. We are here for fishing and talking and decompressing, but of course we are going to talk some tech. We do catch a beautiful Bass together with 100% teamwork (including ourselves and either an Eagle, Hawk, Osprey, or Blue Heron). We sing a little Charlies Daniel's Band "Devil Went Down to Georgia" just as two southern folks remembering a legendary fittle player and song. Only unfortunate part of the trip was that we ran out of recording battery at the end, so our episode sputters out a little on a sad topic about a recent John Oliver episode -- time shares and the companies that helped people get rid of the time shares. Most important about this May 6th Saturday was that we made time for each other, and we got out of the house and onto a lake in North Carolina to fish and talk together. Thank you Dwayne for an excellent experience last Saturday May 6, 2023. Hope to do it again real soon buddy! /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/26834154

Part Duh!!!! Yes I captured this short 10 seconds after seeing a snake and about 10 minutes after exchanging my bats for my Rod and Real and Tackle Box. 03/05/2023

Part Duh!!!! Yes I captured this short 10 seconds after seeing a snake and about 10 minutes after exchanging my bats for my Rod and Real and Tackle Box. After taking my baseball bats onto the Big Lake at Umstead, and slowly after becoming self aware and returning them in exchange for my actual fishing rod and real, I go back out to UmStead to cast and real, cast and real. Eventually I couldn't even do that anymore (my line snapped), and will be sending the Ranger at Umstead a penalty for leaving a lure in the water unattended. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/26128206

Today's Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Fin? No, but still trying to do too much 03/01/2023

Today's Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Fin? No, but still trying to do too much Sometimes you just need a few more days to unwind. I tried and then realized my dang bat bag was on my shoulder. Saw a snake too, but didn't quite get audio or picture. I just went back to my car, and still grabbed the Johnny Morris Lews Combos and got back at it. This is uncut so will be restricted until edited. PG 13 is no longer an accepted assumption so Forgive the slight slip up. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/26088603

Chase the BASS Not the MONEY - Get the Nest and Mind the Flow 07/25/2021

Chase the BASS Not the MONEY - Get the Nest and Mind the Flow Caught a Gigantic Bass today and recorded it live. When measuring on my Field and Stream 18 inch oar- it was well over 7 inches longer than my oar. The BASS was too big for me to manage taking a picture but My goodness It is was the sound of pure Joy. Reflected on my conversation with Greg before launching the boat. He remined me to stop chasing the money - and focus on the joys of life. Though reminded myself I still need a nest egg - and to mind my cash flow - so I can be Greg someday. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/19924535

Episode 37 - Caught a Bass and Destroyed Some Anger 06/19/2021

Episode 37 - Caught a Bass and Destroyed Some Anger Caught a 17 inch bass around minute 10, but cut out the white noise - most of it at least - besides my own white head noise (for you Marques P). Talk about a recent tragedy that is close to home - Frank W. Cox (my High School) and Virginia Tech (My University). Put it in the universe's hands and maybe hope Malcom Gladwell's hands as he knows what Talking to Strangers is about - he wrote the book. The Anger, the internal struggle of our Nation is killing me softly and some people literally. /episode/index/show/fishingandtalking/id/19535750
