Cut & Retie

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.
