Cut & Retie

This week, artist Mike Sudal dodges Midtown ferry traffic on the way to the sewage treatment outflow, we volunteer to lose tackle just to catch a few tiny bass, hook big stripers in the shadow of a notorious prostitution zone, and kern in on a man fishing in a fold-up row boat on highly treacherous waters. 

This week, listeners share fishing stories so scary you'll piss your waders and wish you spoke French, we get terrified by a catfish bite while dodging a shotgun-wielding caretaker, enter another dimension but return in time for the apocalypse blitz, and pan for gold on the island of missing children.

This week, the legendary Tom Rosenbauer celebrates 50 years at Orvis by not talking about his 50 years at Orvis, we explain why data centers are really screwing up your nymph game, steal fifty bucks from the bookie next door to buy more Surf Candies, and keep the carp dream alive by trying to bring back automatic fly reels.  

This week, chef, author, and outdoorsman Hank Shaw throws a lead sinker through the window of a fellow highway forager, we jump on a party boat that's heavy on clams and light on fried chicken, challenge TSA to confiscate our fresh mackerel, and load up on steroids and soup before operating a subpar vacuum sealer. 

This week, Stride Baits maker Jesse Stanislaw uses bots to make sure his boat is still there during a nor'easter, we teach you how to stick fish on glide baits without snapping off mid-cast, uncover dirty lies about the world's best diamond jigs, and factor in the depreciation on a mahi that shook your bait and stuck in right in your chest plate. 

This week, Darren Jones and Troy "The Ranch Fairy" Fowler look for naked people and stock up on Top Dogs at the H.E.B., we make ceviche out of three-day-old tacos and fail to produce dock light trout, dip our feet in Mexican gravy to chum up some surf tarpon, and long for the days when Padre Island was so dangerous nobody with a Subaru ever showed up there. 

This week, veteran Ozark fly guide, Steve Dally, keeps the garlic bread hot while stopping his boat from flipping over, we go full Iron Chef to find the next great streamer tyer, opt into the Wal-Mart lamb but pass on live grasshoppers, and get run off the road by a jellybean car on our way to the Love Fest.

This week, Nate P. of "Shore Lunch With Nate P" checks the lingerie section of JC Penny for tuna-stuffed trolling lures, we become tornadoes in the kitchen and tigers in the garden, get creeped out by a man with Ramen Noodle hair, and slather our fish steaks with Thousand Island dressing before having our favorite red spoon banished to the basement. 

This week, YouTuber Sam Panko makes terrible footwear decisions and macro-influences some bronzebacks into the top of the funnel, we decide not to provoke Karens for video views and vow to never tie a uni-knot in braid again, roll the dice on baby snakes after our mom forced us to go to the trout park, and display no fear in the karate-bass summer camp dojo. 

Guide Joe Demalderis fulfills green drake dreams and has green drake nightmares about the elasticity of geriatric chicken skin.
