• 0:27
  fantastic
• 0:27
  blue
• 0:28
  winged
• 0:28
  olive
• 0:29
  hatches
• 0:30
  on
• 0:31
  only
• 0:32
  the
• 0:32
  South
• 0:32
  Holon
• 0:32
  river
• 0:33
  from
• 0:33
  Big
• 0:33
  springs
• 0:34
  to
• 0:34
  Thomas,
• 0:35
  2pm
• 0:36
  to
• 0:36
  5pm
• 0:38
  Just
• 0:38
  on
• 0:38
  Friday,
• 0:39
  though.
• 0:39
  Yeah.
• 0:40
  So
• 0:40
  you
• 0:40
  heard
• 0:40
  it
• 0:40
  first
• 0:41
  here,
• 0:41
  folks.
• 0:41
  You
• 0:41
  can
• 0:41
  take
• 0:42
  that
• 0:42
  to
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  bank,
• 0:42
  but
• 0:43
  a
• 0:43
  little
• 0:43
  bit
• 0:44
  more
• 0:44
  seriously.
• 0:44
  We
• 0:44
  don't
• 0:45
  want
• 0:45
  to
• 0:45
  press
• 0:45
  on
• 0:45
  your
• 0:46
  meteorological
• 0:47
  credentials
• 0:48
  too
• 0:48
  much.
• 0:49
  What
• 0:49
  are
• 0:49
  you
• 0:49
  seeing
• 0:49
  out
• 0:49
  on
• 0:50
  the
• 0:50
  water?
• 0:52
  It's
• 0:52
  been
• 0:54
  interesting,
• 0:55
  and
• 0:55
  I
• 0:55
  don't
• 0:56
  say
• 0:56
  that
• 0:56
  to
• 0:58
  sound
• 0:58
  like
• 0:59
  a
• 1:00
  redundant
• 1:00
  guide.
• 1:03
  The
• 1:03
  South
• 1:03
  Holston
• 1:04
  has
• 1:04
  still
• 1:04
  been
• 1:05
  running
• 1:05
  this
• 1:05
  400
• 1:06
  and
• 1:09
  that,
• 1:10
  that
• 1:11
  gives
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  waiting
• 1:11
  angler
• 1:12
  an
• 1:12
  opportunity
• 1:12
  to
• 1:13
  fish
• 1:13
  most
• 1:13
  of
• 1:13
  the
• 1:14
  river.
• 1:14
  And
• 1:15
  you
• 1:16
  can
• 1:16
  run
• 1:16
  a
• 1:16
  boat.
• 1:17
  There's,
• 1:17
  there's
• 1:17
  a
• 1:17
  couple
• 1:18
  areas
• 1:18
  that
• 1:19
  are
• 1:19
  a
• 1:20
  little
• 1:20
  sketchy,
• 1:20
  but
• 1:21
  you
• 1:21
  can
• 1:21
  float
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  whole
• 1:22
  river
• 1:23
  in
• 1:24
  that
• 1:24
  flow.
• 1:24
  And
• 1:24
  there's
• 1:25
  still
• 1:25
  just
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  little
• 1:26
  bit
• 1:26
  of
• 1:27
  color,
• 1:29
  which
• 1:29
  also
• 1:30
  tracks
• 1:30
  with
• 1:30
  the
• 1:31
  Watauga,
• 1:32
  which
• 1:32
  is
• 1:32
  still
• 1:33
  quite
• 1:33
  muddy.
• 1:36
  That's,
• 1:37
  that's
• 1:37
  running.
• 1:38
  I
• 1:38
  mean,
• 1:38
  it's,
• 1:38
  it's
• 1:39
  clearing
• 1:40
  at
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  very,
• 1:41
  very
• 1:41
  slow
• 1:41
  rate.
• 1:42
  But
• 1:42
  it
• 1:42
  does
• 1:42
  look,
• 1:43
  it's
• 1:43
  got
• 1:43
  this.
• 1:44
  It's
• 1:44
  starting
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  get
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  little
• 1:45
  more
• 1:46
  of
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  green
• 1:46
  tinge.
• 1:47
  And
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  process
• 1:51
  of.
• 1:55
  There
• 1:55
  was
• 1:55
  sedimentation
• 1:56
  from
• 1:56
  Helene
• 1:57
  from
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  Freestone
• 1:58
  rivers
• 1:58
  coming
• 1:59
  into
• 1:59
  Watauga
• 2:00
  Lake
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  depositing
• 2:01
  a
• 2:02
  bunch
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  stuff
• 2:02
  at
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  bottom
• 2:04
  that
• 2:05
  expedited
• 2:06
  turnover.
• 2:07
  So
• 2:07
  I
• 2:07
  know
• 2:07
  we're
• 2:08
  going
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  talk
• 2:09
  about
• 2:09
  this,
• 2:09
  but
• 2:10
  that's
• 2:10
  been
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  very
• 2:11
  interesting
• 2:11
  thing.
• 2:11
  Just
• 2:12
  specific
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  Wataga.
• 2:16
  No
• 2:16
  bugs
• 2:17
  on
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  Wataga,
• 2:19
  but
• 2:21
  I
• 2:21
  shouldn't
• 2:21
  say
• 2:22
  no
• 2:22
  bugs.
• 2:22
  There
• 2:23
  aren't
• 2:23
  hatches
• 2:24
  that
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  would
• 2:24
  be
• 2:24
  expecting
• 2:25
  this
• 2:25
  time
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  year.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:26
  especially
• 2:27
  certain
• 2:27
  conditions.
• 2:28
  There
• 2:29
  are,
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  know,
• 2:30
  there
• 2:30
  are
• 2:31
  some
• 2:31
  bugs
• 2:32
  and
• 2:33
  you'll
• 2:33
  be
• 2:33
  out
• 2:33
  there
• 2:34
  and
• 2:34
  if
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  ever
• 2:34
  have
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  doubt
• 2:35
  on
• 2:35
  like
• 2:36
  vision
• 2:37
  of
• 2:37
  trout
• 2:37
  and
• 2:39
  why
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  like
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  fish
• 2:41
  higher
• 2:41
  in
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  water
• 2:41
  column
• 2:42
  when
• 2:42
  it's
• 2:43
  muddy.
• 2:43
  Um,
• 2:45
  watching
• 2:45
  fish
• 2:45
  rise
• 2:46
  or,
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  know,
• 2:46
  seeing
• 2:47
  risers
• 2:47
  when
• 2:47
  it's.
• 2:49
  It's
• 2:49
  still
• 2:50
  really,
• 2:50
  really
• 2:50
  off
• 2:51
  color,
• 2:51
  um,
• 2:52
  that
• 2:52
  should
• 2:53
  give
• 2:53
  an
• 2:53
  indication
• 2:54
  that
• 2:55
  they
• 2:55
  can
• 2:55
  see
• 2:55
  stuff
• 2:56
  on
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  surface
• 2:56
  of
• 2:56
  the
• 2:57
  water.
• 2:58
  Um,
• 2:59
  South
• 2:59
  Holston
• 3:00
  has
• 3:00
  been,
• 3:02
  it's
• 3:03
  been
• 3:03
  fishing.
• 3:03
  Well,
• 3:03
  man,
• 3:04
  um,
• 3:05
  I
• 3:06
  favor
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  Watauga
• 3:08
  for
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  few
• 3:08
  different
• 3:08
  reasons,
• 3:09
  but
• 3:09
  those
• 3:10
  all,
• 3:10
  all
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  those
• 3:11
  reasons
• 3:11
  are
• 3:12
  now
• 3:13
  Backwards
• 3:14
  and
• 3:15
  south.
• 3:15
  Holston's
• 3:16
  been
• 3:17
  moving
• 3:18
  some
• 3:19
  big
• 3:20
  fish
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  getting
• 3:21
  some
• 3:21
  big
• 3:21
  fish
• 3:21
  to
• 3:22
  eat.
• 3:22
  Streamers
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  dry
• 3:25
  fly
• 3:25
  game
• 3:26
  has
• 3:26
  been
• 3:27
  it.
• 3:28
  It's
• 3:29
  interesting
• 3:29
  there
• 3:30
  you'll
• 3:30
  have
• 3:30
  windows
• 3:31
  where
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  get
• 3:33
  a
• 3:33
  bunch
• 3:33
  of
• 3:34
  activity
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  this
• 3:34
  is
• 3:35
  mostly
• 3:35
  condition
• 3:36
  dependent
• 3:37
  but
• 3:39
  generally
• 3:40
  when
• 3:40
  they're
• 3:40
  eating
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  bunch
• 3:42
  on
• 3:42
  top,
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  can
• 3:44
  trick
• 3:44
  them
• 3:44
  pretty
• 3:44
  easily.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:47
  you're
• 3:47
  just
• 3:47
  getting
• 3:47
  these
• 3:48
  windows
• 3:48
  of
• 3:48
  a
• 3:49
  lot
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  really
• 3:51
  small
• 3:51
  bugs.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:52
  so
• 3:53
  they're
• 3:53
  seeing
• 3:53
  so
• 3:54
  much
• 3:54
  food
• 3:54
  at
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  same
• 3:55
  time
• 3:55
  and
• 3:56
  getting
• 3:57
  comfortable
• 3:57
  pretty
• 3:58
  quickly.
• 3:58
  So
• 4:00
  you'll
• 4:01
  get
• 4:01
  windows
• 4:01
  where
• 4:02
  they're
• 4:02
  pretty
• 4:03
  bitey
• 4:03
  and
• 4:04
  you
• 4:04
  can
• 4:04
  get
• 4:05
  fish
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  eat
• 4:06
  most
• 4:06
  things
• 4:06
  with
• 4:06
  a
• 4:07
  decent
• 4:07
  presentation.
• 4:08
  But
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  lot
• 4:09
  of
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  dry
• 4:09
  fly
• 4:10
  fishing
• 4:10
  has
• 4:10
  been
• 4:13
  pretty
• 4:13
  technical
• 4:13
  and
• 4:14
  it
• 4:14
  can
• 4:15
  feel
• 4:15
  frustrating
• 4:15
  when
• 4:15
  you're
• 4:16
  seeing
• 4:16
  risers
• 4:17
  everywhere
• 4:17
  and
• 4:18
  even
• 4:18
  casting
• 4:18
  to
• 4:19
  specific
• 4:19
  ones
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  not
• 4:20
  getting
• 4:20
  eats.
• 4:23
  But
• 4:23
  that's
• 4:23
  just
• 4:24
  part
• 4:24
  of
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  puzzle
• 4:24
  that
• 4:24
  I
• 4:25
  like
• 4:25
  figuring
• 4:25
  out.
• 4:26
  So
• 4:27
  all
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  all,
• 4:28
  pretty
• 4:28
  good
• 4:28
  on
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  musky
• 4:29
  front.
• 4:30
  Front
• 4:31
  broad
• 4:31
  is
• 4:31
  fishing
• 4:32
  really
• 4:33
  well
• 4:34
  and
• 4:35
  it's
• 4:35
  been,
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  think
• 4:38
  so
• 4:39
  cool
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  see
• 4:41
  that
• 4:42
  because
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  know,
• 4:44
  one
• 4:45
  muskie
• 4:46
  fishing.
• 4:46
  So
• 4:46
  when
• 4:47
  we're
• 4:48
  moving
• 4:48
  fish
• 4:48
  and,
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  getting
• 4:50
  them
• 4:50
  to
• 4:51
  eat
• 4:51
  every
• 4:51
  once
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  a
• 4:52
  while,
• 4:52
  that's
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  good
• 4:53
  thing.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:55
  when
• 4:55
  we're
• 4:55
  doing
• 4:55
  that
• 4:56
  consistently,
• 4:57
  that's
• 4:57
  an
• 4:57
  even
• 4:57
  better
• 4:58
  thing
• 4:58
  when
• 4:58
  we're
• 4:58
  doing
• 4:59
  those
• 4:59
  things.
• 5:00
  And
• 5:01
  I
• 5:02
  really
• 5:02
  didn't
• 5:02
  know
• 5:02
  how
• 5:03
  much
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  the,
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  know,
• 5:04
  structure
• 5:05
  was
• 5:05
  going
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  be
• 5:05
  left
• 5:06
  if
• 5:06
  it
• 5:06
  was
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  one
• 5:07
  in
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  thousand
• 5:08
  years
• 5:08
  or
• 5:09
  one
• 5:09
  in
• 5:09
  whatever.
• 5:10
  It's
• 5:11
  the
• 5:12
  amount
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  water
• 5:12
  up
• 5:12
  there
• 5:12
  that
• 5:13
  came
• 5:13
  through
• 5:14
  was
• 5:16
  just
• 5:17
  insane.
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  mean
• 5:18
  it's.
• 5:21
  Wow.
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  forget
• 5:22
  what
• 5:22
  one
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  the
• 5:23
  recent
• 5:23
  estimates
• 5:24
  was,
• 5:24
  but
• 5:24
  just
• 5:25
  it's
• 5:25
  not
• 5:25
  like
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  one
• 5:26
  in
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  thousand
• 5:26
  or
• 5:27
  one
• 5:27
  in
• 5:27
  ten
• 5:28
  thousand.
• 5:28
  It's
• 5:28
  like,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  know,
• 5:29
  this
• 5:30
  might
• 5:30
  happen
• 5:30
  again
• 5:31
  just
• 5:32
  statistically
• 5:33
  every
• 5:34
  20,
• 5:34
  30,000
• 5:35
  years.
• 5:36
  So
• 5:38
  it's
• 5:38
  been
• 5:38
  really
• 5:38
  cool
• 5:38
  to
• 5:39
  see
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  muskie
• 5:39
  homes
• 5:40
  are,
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  know,
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  specific
• 5:41
  logs
• 5:41
  are
• 5:41
  still
• 5:42
  there
• 5:42
  and
• 5:43
  specific
• 5:43
  fish
• 5:46
  moving
• 5:46
  some
• 5:47
  in
• 5:47
  new
• 5:47
  areas
• 5:47
  and
• 5:48
  there's
• 5:48
  some
• 5:48
  new
• 5:48
  log
• 5:48
  jams
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  have
• 5:49
  formed
• 5:49
  and
• 5:50
  temperatures
• 5:51
  are
• 5:51
  changing
• 5:51
  so
• 5:51
  fish
• 5:52
  are
• 5:52
  kind
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  moving
• 5:52
  anyhow.
• 5:53
  But
• 5:55
  yeah,
• 5:56
  all
• 5:56
  things
• 5:58
  considered,
• 5:59
  I,
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  kind
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  like
• 6:00
  it
• 6:00
  because
• 6:00
  it's
• 6:01
  just,
• 6:01
  it's
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  full
• 6:02
  new
• 6:03
  deck
• 6:03
  of
• 6:04
  cards
• 6:05
  and
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  like
• 6:08
  that.
• 6:08
  I
• 6:08
  like
• 6:08
  the,
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  variation
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  figuring
• 6:11
  out,
• 6:12
  figuring
• 6:12
  out
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  puzzles
• 6:14
  on
• 6:14
  a
• 6:15
  day
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  day
• 6:15
  or
• 6:15
  week
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  week
• 6:16
  basis
• 6:16
  as
• 6:16
  opposed
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  just
• 6:18
  going
• 6:18
  out
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  doing
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  same
• 6:19
  thing.
• 6:20
  Yeah,
• 6:20
  very,
• 6:21
  very
• 6:21
  neat.
• 6:21
  And

• 6:22
  you
• 6:22
  know,
• 6:22

  honestly,
• 6:32
  folks,
• 6:32
  at
• 6:32
  this
• 6:33
  point,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  know,
• 6:33
  almost
• 6:34
  all
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  western
• 6:35
  North
• 6:35
  Carolina
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  East
• 6:35
  Tennessee
• 6:36
  are
• 6:36
  open
• 6:36
  for
• 6:36
  business.
• 6:38
  You
• 6:38
  know,
• 6:39
  26
• 6:39
  is
• 6:39
  open
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  get
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  Irwin
• 6:40
  now.
• 6:41
  You
• 6:41
  can
• 6:41
  take
• 6:41
  40
• 6:42
  all
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42

• 6:42
  across
• 6:42
  the
• 6:43
  state
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  North
• 6:43
  Carolina.
• 6:44
  There
• 6:45
  are
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  few
• 6:45
  road
• 6:45
  closures
• 6:46
  still
• 6:46
  in
• 6:46
  North
• 6:46
  Carolina,
• 6:47
  but
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  can
• 6:47
  check
• 6:47
  the
• 6:48
  NCDOT
• 6:49
  site
• 6:50
  for
• 6:50
  that.
• 6:50
  But
• 6:50
  I
• 6:50
  would
• 6:51
  encourage
• 6:51
  you
• 6:52

• 6:53
  get
• 6:53
  out
• 6:53
  into,
• 6:54

  know,
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  support.
• 6:55
  These
• 6:55
  communities
• 6:56
  got
• 6:56
  hit
• 6:56
  really,
• 6:57
  really
• 6:57
  hard
• 6:57
  because
• 6:57
  this
• 6:58
  hurricane
• 6:59
  deeply
• 6:59
  impacted
• 7:00
  their
• 7:00
  tourism
• 7:00
  season.
• 7:01
  And
• 7:01
  so
• 7:01
  I
• 7:02
  would
• 7:02
  encourage
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  to
• 7:03
  come
• 7:03
  to
• 7:03
  Johnson
• 7:04
  City,
• 7:04
  fish
• 7:04
  with
• 7:04
  Ellis
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  go
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  shops
• 7:06
  and
• 7:07
  do
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  same
• 7:07
  thing
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  western
• 7:07
  North
• 7:08
  Carolina
• 7:08
  and
• 7:08
  southwest
• 7:09
  Virginia
• 7:09
  as
• 7:09
  well.
• 7:11
  Yeah,
• 7:11
  I,
• 7:11
  I
• 7:11
  appreciate
• 7:12
  that.
• 7:12
  Marv
• 7:13
  had
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  couple
• 7:15
  lost
• 7:15
  trips
• 7:16
  there
• 7:17
  and
• 7:18
  then
• 7:18
  not
• 7:18
  as
• 7:18
  many
• 7:19
  bookings
• 7:20
  right
• 7:20
  now
• 7:21
  as
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  would
• 7:22
  expect.
• 7:22
  And
• 7:22
  I,
• 7:24
  I'm
• 7:24
  not
• 7:24
  too
• 7:24
  worried
• 7:25
  about
• 7:25
  it
• 7:25
  just
• 7:25
  because
• 7:26
  of.
• 7:27
  You
• 7:28
  can't
• 7:28
  control
• 7:28
  everything.
• 7:29
  But,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:31
  know,
• 7:31
  I
• 7:31
  also
• 7:31
  appreciate
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  fact
• 7:32
  that
• 7:32
  as
• 7:33
  of
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  week
• 7:35
  or
• 7:35
  two,
• 7:36
  two
• 7:36
  weeks
• 7:36
  ago,
• 7:37
  like
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  just
• 7:38
  said,
• 7:38
  26
• 7:39
  is.
• 7:39
  Is
• 7:40
  back
• 7:40
  open.
• 7:40
  And
• 7:40
  so
• 7:41
  a
• 7:42
  lot
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  folks
• 7:42
  that
• 7:42
  would
• 7:42
  have
• 7:43
  been
• 7:43
  looking
• 7:43
  at,
• 7:43
  oh,
• 7:44
  how
• 7:44
  far
• 7:44
  away
• 7:44
  is
• 7:44
  Johnson
• 7:45
  City?
• 7:45
  Or
• 7:45
  how,
• 7:45
  how
• 7:45
  far
• 7:46
  away
• 7:46
  is
• 7:46
  Asheville?
• 7:47
  How
• 7:47
  far
• 7:47
  away
• 7:47
  is
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  French
• 7:47
  Broad
• 7:48
  from
• 7:48
  where
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  am
• 7:48
  thinking
• 7:49
  about
• 7:49
  fishing
• 7:49
  with
• 7:49
  me.
• 7:50
  And
• 7:51
  it's.
• 7:52
  Instead
• 7:52
  of
• 7:52
  an
• 7:52
  hour
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  half
• 7:53
  or
• 7:53
  two
• 7:53
  or
• 7:54
  three
• 7:54
  from
• 7:54
  where
• 7:54
  they
• 7:54
  are,
• 7:55
  it
• 7:55
  looks
• 7:55
  more
• 7:55
  like
• 7:56
  five,
• 7:56
  six,
• 7:56
  seven.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:59
  that
• 8:00
  has
• 8:00
  all
• 8:01
  largely
• 8:02
  been
• 8:04
  for
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  main
• 8:05
  interstates.
• 8:06
  That's
• 8:06
  been
• 8:07
  fixed.
• 8:08
  Yeah,
• 8:08
  absolutely.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:09
  got
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  question
• 8:09
  for
• 8:10
  you,
• 8:10
  too.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  didn't
• 8:10
  realize
• 8:11
  we
• 8:11
  were
• 8:11
  talking
• 8:12
  before
• 8:12
  we
• 8:12
  started
• 8:12
  recording.
• 8:12
  This
• 8:13
  is
• 8:13
  one
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  your
• 8:13
  old
• 8:14
  homies.
• 8:15
  Fish
• 8:15
  lacks
• 8:15
  outdoors.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:16
  he
• 8:16
  wanted
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  find
• 8:18
  out
• 8:18
  if
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  lakes
• 8:18
  in
• 8:19
  your
• 8:19
  neck
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  woods
• 8:19
  have
• 8:19
  started
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  turn
• 8:20
  over
• 8:20
  yet.
• 8:22
  Yeah.
• 8:23
  Yeah.
• 8:24
  Rita
• 8:25
  and
• 8:26
  grew
• 8:26
  up
• 8:27
  kind
• 8:27
  of
• 8:27
  down
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  road,
• 8:28
  but
• 8:29
  mostly
• 8:30
  went
• 8:30
  over
• 8:30
  to
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  friend
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  mine's
• 8:32
  house
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  he
• 8:33
  lives
• 8:33
  sort
• 8:33
  of
• 8:34
  adjacent
• 8:34
  in
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  backyard.
• 8:35
  Small
• 8:35
  town.
• 8:35
  Ohio
• 8:36
  stuff.
• 8:40
  Yeah.
• 8:40
  Like
• 8:40
  I
• 8:41
  said,
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  Watauga.
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  mean,
• 8:45
  you
• 8:45
  measure
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  temperature
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  that
• 8:47
  water
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  it's
• 8:48
  60,
• 8:49
  which
• 8:49
  is
• 8:49
  wild.
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  mean,
• 8:50
  that's.
• 8:53
  It
• 8:53
  feels
• 8:53
  like
• 8:55
  that's
• 8:56
  warmer
• 8:56
  than
• 8:56
  it
• 8:56
  is
• 8:56
  in
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  summer.
• 8:57
  I
• 8:57
  mean,
• 8:58
  there
• 8:59
  was
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  massive
• 9:00
  shift
• 9:00
  in
• 9:02
  water
• 9:02
  columns
• 9:03
  and
• 9:04
  just.
• 9:06
  That's
• 9:06
  the
• 9:07
  sedimentation
• 9:08
  process
• 9:09
  that
• 9:09
  caused
• 9:09
  that.
• 9:11
  And
• 9:11
  I'm
• 9:12
  saying
• 9:12
  that
• 9:14
  it
• 9:14
  expedited
• 9:15
  turnover.
• 9:15
  It
• 9:15
  could
• 9:16
  be
• 9:16
  something
• 9:16
  else
• 9:16
  entirely.
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  have
• 9:18
  to
• 9:19
  every
• 9:20
  once
• 9:20
  in
• 9:20
  a
• 9:20
  while
• 9:20
  just
• 9:21
  say,
• 9:21
  I'm
• 9:21
  not
• 9:22
  going
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  go
• 9:22
  down
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  rabbit
• 9:23
  hole
• 9:23
  right
• 9:23
  now.
• 9:23
  So
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  haven't
• 9:24
  quite
• 9:24
  done
• 9:24
  it
• 9:24
  with
• 9:24
  that
• 9:26
  also.
• 9:26
  You
• 9:27
  got
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  go
• 9:27
  out
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  fish
• 9:27
  it
• 9:28
  and
• 9:28
  just
• 9:28
  see
• 9:28
  what
• 9:29
  Happens
• 9:29
  anyway,
• 9:29
  regardless.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:33
  the
• 9:34
  South
• 9:34
  Holston
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  have
• 9:35
  not
• 9:36
  seen
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  typical
• 9:40
  turnover.
• 9:42
  That
• 9:42
  said,
• 9:46
  because
• 9:47
  of
• 9:48
  a
• 9:49
  new
• 9:49
  addition
• 9:49
  to
• 9:50
  my
• 9:50
  family
• 9:51
  who
• 9:52
  is
• 9:52
  now
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  month
• 9:53
  old,
• 9:53
  there
• 9:53
  was
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  couple
• 9:54
  weeks
• 9:54
  there
• 9:55
  where
• 9:55
  I
• 9:56
  wasn't
• 9:57
  getting
• 9:57
  out.
• 9:58
  And
• 10:00
  that
• 10:01
  coincided
• 10:01
  with.
• 10:04
  It
• 10:04
  was
• 10:05
  real
• 10:05
  good
• 10:05
  beforehand.
• 10:06
  And
• 10:07
  a
• 10:07
  couple
• 10:07
  things
• 10:07
  that
• 10:07
  I
• 10:08
  can
• 10:09
  really
• 10:09
  notice
• 10:09
  when
• 10:10
  the
• 10:10
  lakes
• 10:10
  turn
• 10:10
  over
• 10:11
  is
• 10:11
  that
• 10:11
  on
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  tailwaters
• 10:12
  you
• 10:12
  see
• 10:12
  a.
• 10:14
  I
• 10:14
  mean
• 10:15
  it's
• 10:15
  not
• 10:16
  precipitous,
• 10:16
  it's
• 10:17
  0
• 10:18
  and
• 10:18
  1.
• 10:18
  It's
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  cliff
• 10:19
  function,
• 10:20
  not
• 10:20
  just
• 10:20
  the
• 10:21
  bite.
• 10:21
  You
• 10:22
  know,
• 10:22
  you
• 10:22
  could
• 10:22
  be
• 10:22
  fishing
• 10:23
  good
• 10:23
  conditions
• 10:24
  and
• 10:25
  you're
• 10:25
  not
• 10:25
  moving
• 10:26
  anything,
• 10:26
  but
• 10:26
  you're
• 10:27
  not
• 10:27
  seeing
• 10:27
  bugs,
• 10:27
  you're
• 10:27
  not
• 10:28
  seeing
• 10:28
  herons,
• 10:28
  you're
• 10:29
  not
• 10:29
  seeing
• 10:29
  kingfishers,
• 10:30
  osprey.
• 10:31
  It's
• 10:31
  just
• 10:32
  not
• 10:32
  there.
• 10:33
  And
• 10:33
  so
• 10:34
  we're
• 10:34
  seeing
• 10:34
  a
• 10:34
  little
• 10:35
  of
• 10:36
  that
• 10:36
  life
• 10:36
  return
• 10:37
  to
• 10:37
  the
• 10:38
  Watauga
• 10:38
  despite
• 10:39
  all
• 10:39
  of
• 10:39
  the
• 10:40
  mud
• 10:41
  still
• 10:41
  being
• 10:41
  there.
• 10:44
  And
• 10:45
  I
• 10:46
  actually,
• 10:46
  I
• 10:46
  have
• 10:46
  to
• 10:46
  plead
• 10:47
  ignorance.
• 10:48
  On
• 10:48
  the
• 10:49
  South
• 10:49
  Holston
• 10:50
  having
• 10:51
  turned
• 10:51
  over.
• 10:51
  Not.
• 10:52
  There
• 10:52
  were
• 10:52
  a
• 10:52
  couple
• 10:53
  little
• 10:53
  snaps.
• 10:53
  So
• 10:54
  it
• 10:54
  would
• 10:55
  have
• 10:55
  made
• 10:55
  sense,
• 10:57
  honestly,
• 10:58
  as
• 10:58
  far
• 10:58
  back
• 10:58
  as
• 10:58
  a
• 10:59
  couple
• 10:59
  of
• 10:59
  weeks
• 10:59
  ago.
• 10:59
  It's
• 10:59
  kind
• 10:59
  of
• 11:00
  been
• 11:01
  unseasonably
• 11:03
  warm
• 11:04
  for
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  last
• 11:05
  few
• 11:05
  weeks,
• 11:06
  but
• 11:07
  there
• 11:07
  was
• 11:07
  enough
• 11:08
  of
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  snap
• 11:09
  to,
• 11:09
  to
• 11:10
  cause
• 11:10
  things
• 11:10
  to
• 11:11
  move
• 11:11
  and
• 11:13
  hopefully
• 11:14
  that
• 11:14
  was
• 11:14
  it.
• 11:14
  And
• 11:14
  I
• 11:15
  missed
• 11:15
  it
• 11:15
  because
• 11:16
  the
• 11:17
  fishing
• 11:17
  sucks.
• 11:20
  And
• 11:20
  so,
• 11:21
  and
• 11:21
  so
• 11:22
  just
• 11:22
  kind
• 11:22
  of
• 11:22
  walk
• 11:22
  folks
• 11:23
  through
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  process
• 11:24
  about,
• 11:24
  you
• 11:24
  know,
• 11:25
  kind
• 11:25
  of
• 11:25
  what
• 11:25
  happens
• 11:25
  kind
• 11:26
  of
• 11:26
  during
• 11:26
  that
• 11:27
  fall
• 11:27
  turnover.
• 11:30
  For
• 11:31
  like
• 11:31
  up,
• 11:31
  up
• 11:32
  in
• 11:32
  the
• 11:32
  lake.
• 11:33
  Well,
• 11:33
  just
• 11:33
  to
• 11:34
  talk
• 11:34
  about
• 11:34
  why
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  fishing
• 11:35
  sucks.
• 11:36
  Oh,
• 11:36
  sure.
• 11:37
  So
• 11:37
  you
• 11:37
  have
• 11:39
  basically
• 11:40
  if
• 11:40
  you
• 11:40
  think
• 11:41
  about
• 11:41
  lakes
• 11:42
  as
• 11:44
  those
• 11:44
  are
• 11:44
  our
• 11:45
  feeders
• 11:46
  to
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  tailwaters
• 11:47
  and
• 11:48
  there's
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  hole,
• 11:49
  those
• 11:49
  are,
• 11:50
  that's
• 11:50
  a
• 11:50
  bowl
• 11:51
  with
• 11:52
  a
• 11:52
  drain
• 11:52
  at
• 11:52
  the
• 11:52
  bottom
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  them.
• 11:54
  And
• 11:55
  that
• 11:55
  bowl
• 11:56
  typically
• 11:57
  is
• 11:58
  stable.
• 11:59
  It's
• 12:00
  colder
• 12:00
  at
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  bottom,
• 12:01
  warmer
• 12:01
  at
• 12:01
  the
• 12:02
  top.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:03
  dissolved
• 12:04
  oxygen
• 12:05
  is
• 12:06
  stable
• 12:08
  as
• 12:08
  a.
• 12:10
  That
• 12:10
  is
• 12:11
  relative
• 12:11
  to
• 12:12
  temperature.
• 12:13
  So
• 12:13
  water
• 12:14
  has
• 12:14
  dissolved
• 12:15
  oxygen
• 12:16
  capacity.
• 12:17
  That
• 12:18
  it
• 12:19
  mostly
• 12:20
  is,
• 12:20
  has
• 12:21
  a
• 12:21
  linear
• 12:21
  relationship
• 12:22
  with
• 12:23
  temperature.
• 12:23
  So
• 12:24
  as
• 12:25
  temperature
• 12:26
  drops,
• 12:27
  the
• 12:27
  capacity
• 12:28
  to
• 12:28
  hold
• 12:29
  oxygen
• 12:31
  increases.
• 12:32
  As
• 12:33
  temperature
• 12:33
  rises,
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  capacity
• 12:34
  to
• 12:35
  hold
• 12:35
  oxygen
• 12:36
  decreases.
• 12:36
  So
• 12:36
  that's
• 12:37
  why
• 12:37
  warm
• 12:37
  water
• 12:38
  is
• 12:38
  a
• 12:39
  problem
• 12:39
  for
• 12:40
  trout,
• 12:41
  which
• 12:41
  are
• 12:41
  fish
• 12:42
  that
• 12:42
  require
• 12:43
  higher
• 12:44
  amounts
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  dissolved
• 12:45
  oxygen.
• 12:45
  Bass,
• 12:46
  not
• 12:46
  so
• 12:47
  much.
• 12:47
  That's
• 12:47
  why
• 12:47
  you
• 12:47
  can
• 12:48
  catch
• 12:48
  a,
• 12:48
  catch
• 12:48
  a
• 12:48
  large
• 12:49
  mouth
• 12:49
  in
• 12:50
  an
• 12:50
  80
• 12:50
  degree
• 12:51
  lake
• 12:51
  and
• 12:51
  it's
• 12:52
  not
• 12:52
  a
• 12:52
  problem.
• 12:52
  But
• 12:53
  they
• 12:53
  are
• 12:53
  a
• 12:53
  little
• 12:54
  more
• 12:54
  slovenly
• 12:55
  and
• 12:55
  happens
• 12:56
  in
• 12:56
  salt
• 12:56
  water.
• 12:56
  It's,
• 12:57
  it's
• 12:57
  just
• 12:57
  because,
• 12:58
  you
• 12:58
  know,
• 12:58
  they're
• 12:58
  running
• 12:58
  on
• 12:59
  a,
• 12:59
  a
• 13:00
  treadmill
• 13:00
  and
• 13:01
  instead
• 13:01
  of
• 13:01
  just
• 13:02
  breathing
• 13:02
  they
• 13:02
  have
• 13:02
  a
• 13:02
  little
• 13:03
  bit
• 13:03
  of
• 13:03
  a,
• 13:04
  something
• 13:04
  more
• 13:04
  of
• 13:05
  their
• 13:05
  face
• 13:05
  that,
• 13:05
  that's
• 13:06
  the
• 13:06
  human
• 13:07
  metaphor.
• 13:08
  They're
• 13:09
  just
• 13:09
  for
• 13:09
  the
• 13:10
  same
• 13:10
  amount
• 13:10
  of
• 13:10
  effort,
• 13:10
  they're
• 13:11
  not
• 13:11
  getting
• 13:12
  as
• 13:12
  much
• 13:12
  oxygen.
• 13:13
  And
• 13:14
  so
• 13:14
  what
• 13:14
  happens
• 13:14
  with
• 13:14
  the
• 13:14
  tail
• 13:15
  waters
• 13:15
  is
• 13:16
  that
• 13:16
  bowl
• 13:17
  that
• 13:17
  I
• 13:17
  was
• 13:17
  talking
• 13:17
  about
• 13:17
  is
• 13:18
  just
• 13:18
  stagnant.
• 13:18
  And
• 13:18
  you
• 13:19
  have.
• 13:19
  As
• 13:19
  you
• 13:19
  get
• 13:19
  lower,
• 13:20
  it
• 13:20
  gets.
• 13:20
  It
• 13:20
  gets
• 13:21
  colder.
• 13:22
  And
• 13:23
  that
• 13:23
  water
• 13:24
  has
• 13:24
  a
• 13:25
  higher
• 13:25
  capacity
• 13:25
  to
• 13:26
  hold
• 13:26
  oxygen
• 13:27
  during
• 13:27
  turnover,
• 13:30
  where
• 13:31
  that
• 13:31
  bowl
• 13:32
  starts
• 13:32
  to
• 13:33
  move,
• 13:33
  it's
• 13:34
  not
• 13:34
  stable.
• 13:34
  It's.
• 13:35
  It's
• 13:35
  not
• 13:37
  the
• 13:37
  same
• 13:37
  picture
• 13:38
  that
• 13:38
  it
• 13:38
  was.
• 13:39
  And
• 13:40
  you
• 13:40
  end
• 13:41
  up
• 13:41
  getting
• 13:42
  water
• 13:43
  at
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  bottom
• 13:44
  of
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  bowl
• 13:45
  draining
• 13:45
  down
• 13:45
  into
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  tailwater
• 13:47
  that
• 13:47
  has
• 13:48
  a.
• 13:49
  It's
• 13:50
  warmer,
• 13:50
  it
• 13:51
  has
• 13:51
  a
• 13:51
  lower
• 13:51
  dissolved
• 13:52
  oxygen
• 13:52
  content,
• 13:53
  which
• 13:54
  just
• 13:54
  means
• 13:54
  that
• 13:54
  the
• 13:54
  water
• 13:55
  now
• 13:55
  coming
• 13:55
  in
• 13:57
  is
• 14:01
  for
• 14:01
  fish
• 14:02
  going
• 14:02
  out
• 14:02
  and
• 14:02
  eating
• 14:03
  for.
• 14:04
  For
• 14:04
  bugs,
• 14:04
  for
• 14:04
  anything
• 14:05
  that
• 14:05
  relies
• 14:05
  on
• 14:05
  that.
• 14:05
  Which
• 14:06
  is
• 14:06
  why
• 14:06
  tailwaters
• 14:07
  are
• 14:09
  stable
• 14:09
  and
• 14:10
  packed
• 14:11
  with
• 14:11
  fish
• 14:11
  and
• 14:11
  bugs
• 14:12
  and
• 14:12
  plants.
• 14:13
  All
• 14:13
  of
• 14:14
  that
• 14:14
  is
• 14:14
  just
• 14:14
  upside
• 14:15
  down
• 14:15
  for
• 14:17
  a
• 14:17
  week
• 14:17
  or
• 14:17
  two.
• 14:18
  And,
• 14:20
  you
• 14:21
  know,
• 14:21
  lake,
• 14:21
  Lake
• 14:22
  turnover,
• 14:24
  people
• 14:24
  talk
• 14:25
  about
• 14:25
  shad
• 14:25
  kills
• 14:26
  and
• 14:27
  heck,
• 14:28
  I
• 14:28
  hadn't
• 14:28
  even
• 14:28
  heard
• 14:29
  about
• 14:29
  it
• 14:29
  when
• 14:29
  I
• 14:29
  was
• 14:29
  here
• 14:29
  for
• 14:30
  a
• 14:30
  couple
• 14:30
  years.
• 14:30
  It
• 14:30
  just,
• 14:30
  it
• 14:31
  took
• 14:31
  these
• 14:31
  couple
• 14:31
  weeks
• 14:32
  of
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  tailwaters
• 14:33
  themselves
• 14:33
  all
• 14:33
  the
• 14:34
  way
• 14:34
  down
• 14:34
  into
• 14:34
  the
• 14:34
  next
• 14:34
  reservo,
• 14:36
  fishing
• 14:37
  like
• 14:37
  junk.
• 14:38
  And
• 14:38
  then
• 14:39
  starting
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  observe
• 14:40
  that
• 14:41
  the
• 14:41
  only
• 14:41
  thing
• 14:41
  I'm
• 14:42
  seeing
• 14:42
  around
• 14:42
  here
• 14:42
  is
• 14:42
  ducks.
• 14:43
  So
• 14:43
  you're
• 14:44
  not
• 14:44
  seeing
• 14:44
  any
• 14:44
  of
• 14:44
  these.
• 14:45
  Like
• 14:45
  that
• 14:46
  entire
• 14:46
  ecosystem
• 14:47
  of
• 14:48
  bugs
• 14:49
  and
• 14:49
  fish
• 14:49
  and
• 14:50
  birds,
• 14:50
  like
• 14:50
  that's.
• 14:50
  It's
• 14:51
  just
• 14:52
  dead.
• 14:52
  And
• 14:53
  you
• 14:53
  can
• 14:53
  go
• 14:53
  out
• 14:55
  and
• 14:56
  fish
• 14:57
  really
• 14:57
  well,
• 14:57
  go
• 14:58
  out
• 14:58
  in
• 14:58
  conditions
• 14:58
  that
• 14:59
  should
• 14:59
  have
• 15:00
  great
• 15:01
  rising
• 15:02
  trout
• 15:03
  and
• 15:04
  fish
• 15:04
  eating
• 15:04
  streamers.
• 15:05
  And
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  mean,
• 15:07
  you
• 15:07
  can
• 15:07
  just
• 15:08
  feel
• 15:08
  it
• 15:08
  out
• 15:08
  there.
• 15:08
  That's.
• 15:09
  You
• 15:09
  don't
• 15:09
  see
• 15:09
  ospreys
• 15:10
  flying.
• 15:11
  There's
• 15:11
  no
• 15:11
  herons
• 15:11
  waiting
• 15:12
  around.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:14
  it's.
• 15:15
  It
• 15:15
  happens
• 15:16
  in
• 15:16
  the
• 15:16
  fall,
• 15:16
  it
• 15:16
  happens
• 15:16
  in
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  spring.
• 15:17
  Sometimes
• 15:18
  it's
• 15:18
  only
• 15:18
  a
• 15:18
  couple
• 15:19
  days,
• 15:19
  other
• 15:19
  times
• 15:19
  it's
• 15:20
  a
• 15:20
  week
• 15:20
  or
• 15:20
  two.
• 15:21
  You
• 15:21
  can
• 15:21
  still
• 15:22
  have
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  good
• 15:23
  day
• 15:23
  out
• 15:23
  there.

  And

  get
• 15:28
  around
• 15:28
  it,
• 15:30
  but
• 15:30

  part
• 15:31
  of
• 15:31
  the

  folks

  too,
• 16:58
  you

  know,
• 16:58
  we
• 16:58
  host
• 16:59
  our
• 16:59
  articulate
• 17:00
  flock

  And

  at

  one
• 17:06
  level,
• 17:07
  you
• 17:08
  get

  on

  if

  you're

  a
• 17:10
  bucktail
• 17:10
  freak,
• 17:11
  it's
• 17:11
  a
• 17:11
  good
• 17:11
  deal.
• 17:12
  And
• 17:12
  then
• 17:12
  another
• 17:12
  is
• 17:13
  actually
• 17:13
  an
• 17:13
  annual,
• 17:14
  I
• 17:14
  think
• 17:14
  hundred
• 17:14
  dollar
• 17:15
  guide
• 17:15
  credit
• 17:16
  to

• 17:17

• 17:17
  with
• 17:17
  Ellis.
• 17:17
  So
• 17:18
  two
• 17:18
  great
• 17:18
  opportunities.
• 17:19
  And
• 17:19
  you
• 17:19
  know,
• 17:20
  I
• 17:20
  always
• 17:20
  say
• 17:20
  we've
• 17:20
  had
• 17:21
  a
• 17:21
  unseasonably
• 17:22
  warm
• 17:22
  fall
• 17:23
  and
• 17:24
  you
• 17:24
  know,
• 17:24
  winter
• 17:24
  I
• 17:24
  guess
• 17:24
  will
• 17:25
  be
• 17:25
  here
• 17:25
  in
• 17:25
  about
• 17:25
  a
• 17:25
  month.
• 17:25
  But
• 17:26
  I'll
• 17:26
  tell
• 17:26
  you,
• 17:26
  you
• 17:26
  know,
• 17:27
  as
• 17:27
  I've
• 17:27
  been
• 17:27
  saying,
• 17:28
  you
• 17:28
  know,
• 17:28
  unless
• 17:28
  you're
• 17:28
  out
• 17:29
  chasing
• 17:29
  steelhead
• 17:30
  or
• 17:30
  muskie
• 17:30
  in
• 17:30
  February,
• 17:31
  it's
• 17:31
  probably
• 17:31
  going
• 17:31
  to
• 17:31
  be
• 17:31
  cold
• 17:32
  and
• 17:32
  miserable
• 17:32
  and
• 17:32
  you're
• 17:32
  going
• 17:32
  to
• 17:33
  regret
• 17:33
  not
• 17:33
  being
• 17:33
  on
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  water
• 17:34
  in,
• 17:34
  in
• 17:34
  November.
• 17:35
  So
• 17:35
  I
• 17:35
  encourage
• 17:36
  you
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  get
• 17:36
  out
• 17:36
  there
• 17:36
  and
• 17:36
  catch
• 17:37
  a
• 17:37
  few.
• 17:37
  Tight
• 17:38
  lines,
• 17:38
  everybody.
• 17:39
  Tight
• 17:39
  lines.
• 17:39
  Ellis.
• 17:40
  Appreciate
• 17:41
  it.
