  Matt,
• 0:10
  how
• 0:10
  are
• 0:10
  you,
• 0:11
  man?
• 0:12
  I'm

• 0:12
  pretty
• 0:13
  good,
• 0:13
  how
• 0:13
  are
• 0:13
  you?
• 0:14
  As
• 0:14
  always,
• 0:14
  just
• 0:14
  trying
• 0:15
  to
• 0:15
  stay
• 0:15
  out
• 0:15
  of
• 0:15
  trouble.
• 0:16
  And
• 0:17
  you
• 0:17
  know,
• 0:17
  I
• 0:17
  think
• 0:17
  we
• 0:18
  are
• 0:18
  pretty
• 0:18
  close
• 0:18
  to
• 0:19
  the,
• 0:19
  to
• 0:19
  officially
• 0:20
  being
• 0:20
  in
• 0:20
  fall
• 0:20
  and
• 0:20
  not
• 0:20
  have
• 0:21
  any
• 0:21
  more
• 0:21
  hot
• 0:21
  weather
• 0:21
  here
• 0:21
  in
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  mid
• 0:22
  Atlantic.
• 0:23
  Yeah,
• 0:24
  I
• 0:24
  would
• 0:24
  say
• 0:25
  we
• 0:25
  definitely
• 0:25
  want
• 0:25
  hot
• 0:26
  water,
• 0:26
  but
• 0:28
  we
• 0:28
  are
• 0:28
  kind
• 0:29
  of
• 0:30
  petering
• 0:31
  out
• 0:31
  of
• 0:31
  what,
• 0:32
  you
• 0:32
  know,
• 0:32
  you
• 0:32
  might
• 0:33
  call
• 0:33
  a
• 0:33
  false
• 0:34
  fall
• 0:34
  or
• 0:34
  India
• 0:35
  summer
• 0:36
  or
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:38
  know
• 0:38
  what
• 0:38
  the
• 0:38
  official
• 0:38
  term
• 0:39
  is
• 0:39
  for
• 0:39
  it,
• 0:39
  but
• 0:40
  it's
• 0:40
  been
• 0:40
  cool.
• 0:41
  And
• 0:42
  we've
• 0:42
  got
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  bunch
• 0:43
  of,
• 0:43
  you
• 0:43
  know,
• 0:44
  80,
• 0:44
  85
• 0:45
  degree
• 0:45
  highs
• 0:46
  and
• 0:46
  5060
• 0:47
  degree
• 0:47
  overnights
• 0:48
  in
• 0:48
  the
• 0:48
  next
• 0:48
  couple
• 0:49
  of
• 0:49
  weeks
• 0:49
  coming.
• 0:51
  Not
• 0:51
  a
• 0:51
  lot
• 0:51
  of
• 0:51
  rain
• 0:52
  and
• 0:53
  low
• 0:54
  clear
• 0:54
  rivers.
• 0:55
  So,
• 0:56
  you
• 0:56
  know,
• 0:56
  summer
• 0:57
  at
• 0:58
  least
• 0:58
  on
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  river
• 0:58
  is
• 0:58
  going
• 0:59
  to
• 0:59
  cling
• 0:59
  on
• 0:59
  for
• 0:59
  a
• 0:59
  little
• 1:00
  while
• 1:00
  longer.
• 1:01
  Yeah.
• 1:02
  And
• 1:02
  so,
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  know,
• 1:03
  when
• 1:03
  you
• 1:03
  get
• 1:03
  into
• 1:03
  that
• 1:03
  low
• 1:03
  clear
• 1:04
  zone,
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  know,
• 1:04
  what
• 1:05
  do
• 1:05
  you
• 1:05
  do
• 1:05
  on
• 1:05
  the
• 1:05
  smallmouth
• 1:06
  front
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  get
• 1:06
  more
• 1:06
  fish
• 1:06
  in
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  boat?
• 1:10
  Well,
• 1:11
  I,
• 1:11
  to
• 1:11
  tell
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  truth,
• 1:13
  I'm
• 1:14
  not
• 1:14
  necessarily
• 1:14
  concerned
• 1:15
  with
• 1:15
  more
• 1:15
  fish
• 1:16
  in
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  boat.
• 1:16
  I'm
• 1:17
  particularly
• 1:18
  this
• 1:18
  time
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  year.
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  mean,
• 1:21
  pre
• 1:21
  spawn
• 1:21
  and
• 1:23
  late
• 1:23
  summer,
• 1:24
  I'm
• 1:25
  really,
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  I
• 1:26
  mean,
• 1:26
  I
• 1:26
  guess
• 1:26
  always
• 1:27
  looking
• 1:27
  for
• 1:28
  big
• 1:29
  fish
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  sometimes
• 1:30
  that
• 1:30
  comes
• 1:30
  at
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  expense
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  numbers.
• 1:33
  But
• 1:33
  anytime
• 1:34
  you're
• 1:34
  dealing
• 1:35
  with,
• 1:35
  with
• 1:36
  low,
• 1:36
  clear
• 1:37
  water,
• 1:37
  especially
• 1:37
  real
• 1:38
  close,
• 1:38
  low
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  clear
• 1:39
  water,
• 1:41
  I
• 1:41
  mean,
• 1:41
  you're
• 1:41
  going
• 1:42
  to
• 1:42
  have
• 1:42
  spooky
• 1:42
  fish
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  you've
• 1:44
  got
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  have,
• 1:45
  you've
• 1:46
  got
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  have
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  game
• 1:46
  plan.
• 1:47
  You
• 1:47
  know,
• 1:47
  you've
• 1:47
  got
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  think
• 1:48
  about
• 1:49
  water
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  you
• 1:51
  can,
• 1:52
  you
• 1:52
  know,
• 1:52
  approach
• 1:53
  fish
• 1:53
  well
• 1:54
  in.
• 1:56
  You
• 1:56
  know,
• 1:56
  sometimes
• 1:57
  you
• 1:57
  have
• 1:57
  real
• 1:58
  bony
• 1:58
  water
• 1:59
  that
• 1:59
  you
• 1:59
  can
• 1:59
  barely
• 1:59
  get
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  boat
• 2:00
  through
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  you're
• 2:01
  gonna,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:02
  know,
• 2:02
  be
• 2:02
  making
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  bunch
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  commotion
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  stuff,
• 2:04
  just,
• 2:04
  just
• 2:05
  traversing
• 2:06
  that
• 2:06
  water.
• 2:07
  And
• 2:08
  sometimes
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  best
• 2:09
  move
• 2:09
  is
• 2:10
  just
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  eliminate
• 2:11
  that
• 2:11
  focus
• 2:11
  on,
• 2:12
  on
• 2:12
  places
• 2:13
  that
• 2:13
  you
• 2:13
  can
• 2:14
  approach
• 2:14
  stealthily.
• 2:17
  And
• 2:17
  you
• 2:18
  know,
• 2:18
  when
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  water
• 2:18
  gets
• 2:19
  really
• 2:19
  low
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  clear,
• 2:19
  it
• 2:20
  moves
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  lot
• 2:21
  slower
• 2:21
  too.
• 2:22
  So
• 2:22
  if
• 2:23
  you're
• 2:23
  fishing
• 2:23
  nine
• 2:23
  miles
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  river,
• 2:24
  seven
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  half
• 2:25
  miles
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  river,
• 2:26
  you
• 2:26
  know,
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  you're,
• 2:28
  you're
• 2:29
  really
• 2:30
  being
• 2:30
  stealthy
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  moving
• 2:32
  slowly
• 2:33
  and,
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  putting
• 2:34
  your
• 2:34
  best
• 2:34
  foot
• 2:34
  forward
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  right
• 2:35
  places,
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  can
• 2:37
  make
• 2:37
  for
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  really
• 2:38
  long
• 2:38
  day.
• 2:39
  So,
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  know,
• 2:40
  you've
• 2:40
  got
• 2:40
  to,
• 2:41
  you've
• 2:41
  got
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  have
• 2:41
  a,
• 2:42
  an
• 2:42
  idea
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  where
• 2:43
  your
• 2:44
  best
• 2:44
  spots
• 2:44
  are
• 2:44
  going
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  be
• 2:45
  to
• 2:46
  achieve
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  goal
• 2:47
  at
• 2:47
  hand
• 2:48
  and
• 2:48
  eliminate
• 2:49
  some
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  you
• 2:50
  know,
• 2:51
  really
• 2:51
  spend
• 2:51
  your
• 2:51
  time
• 2:52
  where
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  need
• 2:52
  to
• 2:53
  so
• 2:56
  does
• 2:56
  pay
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  have
• 2:56
  a
• 2:57
  game
• 2:57
  plan.
• 2:58
  Yeah.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  I
• 2:59
  would
• 2:59
  imagine
• 2:59
  too,
• 2:59
  on
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  stealthy
• 3:00
  front,
• 3:00
  you
• 3:00
  know,
• 3:01
  in
• 3:01
  low
• 3:01
  water,
• 3:01
  it
• 3:01
  also
• 3:01
  helps
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  probably
• 3:03
  be
• 3:03
  able
• 3:03
  to
• 3:04
  cast
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  fair
• 3:04
  distance
• 3:05
  without
• 3:05
  rocking
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  boat,
• 3:06
  right?
• 3:07
  Absolutely.
• 3:08
  Yeah.
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  mean,
• 3:08
  that's
• 3:09
  a,
• 3:09
  that's
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  skill
• 3:10
  that
• 3:14
  can
• 3:14
  be
• 3:15
  very
• 3:15
  noticeable
• 3:16
  when
• 3:16
  somebody
• 3:16
  doesn't
• 3:17
  have
• 3:17
  it,
• 3:17
  you
• 3:18
  know,
• 3:20
  shifting
• 3:21
  weight
• 3:22
  really
• 3:22
  heavily
• 3:23
  from,
• 3:23
  from
• 3:24
  your,
• 3:24
  you
• 3:24
  know,
• 3:25
  right
• 3:25
  foot,
• 3:25
  left
• 3:25
  foot,
• 3:26
  right
• 3:26
  foot,
• 3:26
  left
• 3:26
  foot
• 3:27
  is
• 3:27
  your
• 3:27
  false
• 3:27
  casting.
• 3:28
  If
• 3:28
  you're
• 3:28
  on
• 3:29
  flat,
• 3:29
  clear,
• 3:30
  slow,
• 3:31
  shallow
• 3:31
  water.
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  mean,
• 3:32
  this,
• 3:32
  it's
• 3:33
  a,
• 3:33
  it's
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  dead
• 3:34
  giveaway
• 3:35
  and,
• 3:35
  and
• 3:35
  you're
• 3:35
  going
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  have
• 3:36
  to,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  know,
• 3:37
  it's
• 3:37
  a,
• 3:38
  it's
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  big
• 3:38
  hurdle
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  overcome,
• 3:39
  especially
• 3:39
  when
• 3:39
  you're
• 3:40
  talking
• 3:40
  about
• 3:41
  big,
• 3:41
  wise,
• 3:42
  spooky
• 3:42
  fish.
• 3:44
  It's
• 3:45
  something
• 3:45
  that,
• 3:46
  that
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  try
• 3:47
  to
• 3:47
  do
• 3:47
  when
• 3:47
  I'm
• 3:47
  fishing.
• 3:48
  Doesn't
• 3:48
  matter,
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  know,
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  I'm
• 3:49
  fishing
• 3:50
  for.
• 3:50
  If
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  can,
• 3:51
  if
• 3:51
  you
• 3:52
  can,
• 3:53
  you
• 3:53
  know,
• 3:54
  not
• 3:54
  shift
• 3:55
  weight
• 3:56
  as,
• 3:56
  as
• 3:56
  much
• 3:57
  as
• 3:57
  possible
• 3:57
  and,
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  keep
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  weight
• 4:00
  and,
• 4:00
  and
• 4:01
  pressure
• 4:01
  waves
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  a
• 4:02
  minimum,
• 4:03
  it's
• 4:04
  always,
• 4:04
  it's
• 4:04
  always
• 4:05
  helpful.
• 4:05
  And
• 4:06
  then,
• 4:06
  you
• 4:06
  know,
• 4:06
  just
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  really
• 4:07
  technical
• 4:08
  aspects
• 4:09
  of,
• 4:09
  of,
• 4:10
  you
• 4:11
  know,
• 4:11
  bug
• 4:12
  fishing
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  smallmouth
• 4:13
  behavior
• 4:13
  come
• 4:14
  into
• 4:14
  play
• 4:14
  too.
• 4:14
  I
• 4:15
  mean,
• 4:15
  one
• 4:15
  of
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  things
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  I've
• 4:16
  been
• 4:16
  drilling
• 4:17
  people
• 4:17
  with
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  last
• 4:18
  couple
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  weeks
• 4:19
  is
• 4:19
  just
• 4:20
  this
• 4:20
  idea
• 4:21
  of
• 4:22
  sort
• 4:22
  of
• 4:24
  a
• 4:25
  small
• 4:25
  mouse
• 4:25
  awareness
• 4:26
  of
• 4:28
  items
• 4:28
  that
• 4:29
  hit
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  water
• 4:31
  as
• 4:31
  it
• 4:31
  relates
• 4:32
  to
• 4:33
  their
• 4:34
  reactive
• 4:34
  distance
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  willingness
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  go
• 4:38
  inspect
• 4:38
  and
• 4:39
  eat
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  fly.
• 4:39
  You
• 4:40
  know,
• 4:40
  there's
• 4:40
  days
• 4:40
  where
• 4:41
  we're
• 4:41
  talking
• 4:42
  specifically
• 4:42
  about
• 4:43
  bug
• 4:43
  fishing.
• 4:43
  There's,
• 4:44
  there's
• 4:44
  days
• 4:44
  where
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  fish
• 4:45
  are
• 4:45
  extremely
• 4:46
  buggy.
• 4:46
  You
• 4:47
  slap
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  bug
• 4:47
  down
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  they
• 4:48
  might
• 4:48
  travel
• 4:49
  20ft
• 4:49
  to
• 4:50
  come
• 4:50
  eat
• 4:50
  it.
• 4:50
  And
• 4:51
  then
• 4:51
  there's
• 4:51
  days
• 4:51
  where
• 4:51
  they're
• 4:52
  very
• 4:52
  not
• 4:53
  buggy
• 4:55
  or,
• 4:55
  or,
• 4:55
  you
• 4:55
  know,
• 4:55
  they're
• 4:56
  not
• 4:56
  willing
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  travel
• 4:57
  like
• 4:57
  that.
• 4:57
  But
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  bug
• 4:59
  might
• 5:00
  still
• 5:00
  be
• 5:00
  your
• 5:00
  best
• 5:01
  bet
• 5:01
  in
• 5:01
  terms
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  putting
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  big
• 5:02
  fish
• 5:02
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  boat.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:05
  bugs
• 5:06
  have
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  bad
• 5:06
  habit
• 5:07
  of,
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  know,
• 5:09
  just
• 5:09
  trying
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  get
• 5:10
  as
• 5:10
  many
• 5:10
  casts
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  as
• 5:11
  possible,
• 5:11
  just
• 5:12
  splatting
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  bug,
• 5:13
  picking
• 5:13
  it
• 5:13
  up,
• 5:13
  splatting
• 5:14
  it
• 5:14
  down
• 5:14
  again.
• 5:15
  And
• 5:16
  when
• 5:16
  it's
• 5:17
  done
• 5:17
  well,
• 5:17
  bug
• 5:18
  fishing
• 5:18
  is
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  very
• 5:18
  deliberate
• 5:20
  exercise.
• 5:21
  You
• 5:21
  know,
• 5:21
  you're,
• 5:22
  you're
• 5:22
  trying
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  be
• 5:23
  stealthy,
• 5:24
  trying
• 5:24
  to
• 5:24
  imitate
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  bug
• 5:25
  that's
• 5:26
  hitting
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  water
• 5:27
  dead
• 5:28
  or,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  know,
• 5:29
  helpless
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  allowing
• 5:32
  a
• 5:33
  fish
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  take
• 5:33
  its
• 5:34
  time
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  come
• 5:34
  over,
• 5:35
  take
• 5:35
  advantage
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  that
• 5:36
  easy
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  catch
• 5:38
  meal.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:42
  there's,
• 5:42
  if
• 5:43
  you're
• 5:43
  fishing
• 5:43
  too
• 5:43
  quickly
• 5:44
  or
• 5:44
  you're
• 5:45
  making
• 5:45
  too
• 5:45
  much
• 5:45
  commotion,
• 5:46
  you're,
• 5:47
  you're
• 5:47
  going
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  find
• 5:47
  yourself
• 5:48
  with
• 5:48
  some,
• 5:49
  some
• 5:49
  spooked
• 5:49
  Fish
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  some
• 5:50
  long
• 5:51
  periods
• 5:51
  without
• 5:51
  fishing
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  boat.
• 5:52
  So
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  couple
• 5:53
  of
• 5:54
  things
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  I
• 5:54
  always
• 5:55
  try
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  get
• 5:55
  people
• 5:55
  to
• 5:56
  do
• 5:56
  is
• 5:56
  one,
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:58
  do
• 5:58
  not
• 5:58
  let
• 5:59
  your
• 5:59
  bug
• 5:59
  hit
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  water
• 6:00
  or
• 6:00
  your
• 6:00
  line
• 6:01
  hit
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  water
• 6:02
  unless
• 6:03
  it's
• 6:03
  in
• 6:03
  the
• 6:04
  spot
• 6:04
  that
• 6:04
  you
• 6:05
  have
• 6:05
  previously
• 6:06
  selected
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  want
• 6:07
  the
• 6:08
  bug
• 6:08
  to
• 6:08
  hit
• 6:08
  down
• 6:08
  in
• 6:09
  that
• 6:09
  you're
• 6:09
  prepared
• 6:09
  to
• 6:10
  fish.
• 6:10
  Because
• 6:11
  anytime
• 6:12
  you
• 6:12
  flat
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  bug
• 6:13
  down
• 6:13
  and
• 6:14
  pick
• 6:14
  it
• 6:14
  up,
• 6:15
  any
• 6:15
  fish
• 6:16
  that's
• 6:17
  aware
• 6:17
  of
• 6:18
  that
• 6:18
  fly
• 6:18
  is
• 6:19
  now
• 6:20
  usually
• 6:21
  uncatchable.
• 6:22
  You
• 6:22
  know,
• 6:24
  so
• 6:24
  in
• 6:24
  the
• 6:25
  same
• 6:25
  vein,
• 6:26
  making
• 6:26
  sure
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  pick
• 6:27
  up
• 6:27
  quietly
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  recast,
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  know,
• 6:30
  well
• 6:31
  away
• 6:31
  from
• 6:31
  where
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  picked
• 6:32
  that
• 6:32
  fly
• 6:33
  up
• 6:33
  in
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  new,
• 6:34
  you
• 6:34
  know,
• 6:34
  very
• 6:35
  intentional
• 6:35
  spot
• 6:36
  is
• 6:36
  also
• 6:37
  important.
• 6:38
  And,
• 6:38
  you
• 6:39
  know,
• 6:39
  there
• 6:40
  are
• 6:40
  lots
• 6:40
  of
• 6:41
  days
• 6:41
  where
• 6:42
  a
• 6:42
  fish's
• 6:43
  zone
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  awareness
• 6:46
  sort
• 6:46
  of
• 6:49
  is.
• 6:49
  Is
• 6:49
  wider
• 6:50
  than
• 6:50
  their
• 6:50
  reactive
• 6:51
  distance.
• 6:52
  And
• 6:52
  if
• 6:52
  that
• 6:52
  fly
• 6:53
  lands
• 6:54
  kind
• 6:54
  of
• 6:55
  inside
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  awareness
• 6:56
  zone,
• 6:56
  outside
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  reactive
• 6:58
  distance,
• 6:58
  then,
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  know,
• 7:00
  you're
• 7:00
  gonna.
• 7:01
  You're
• 7:01
  not
• 7:01
  gonna
• 7:02
  be
• 7:02
  able
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  catch
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  fish.
• 7:03
  You're
• 7:03
  gonna
• 7:03
  have
• 7:04
  to
• 7:05
  fish
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  a
• 7:05
  new
• 7:06
  fish,
• 7:06
  because
• 7:06
  if
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  pick
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  fly
• 7:07
  up,
• 7:07
  they
• 7:08
  see
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  exit,
• 7:09
  they're
• 7:09
  spooked,
• 7:10
  and,
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  know,
• 7:11
  if
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  splat
• 7:12
  it
• 7:12
  down
• 7:12
  closer
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  fish,
• 7:13
  you
• 7:13
  know,
• 7:14
  you
• 7:14
  don't
• 7:14
  have
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  shot.
• 7:14
  So
• 7:15
  it's.
• 7:17
  It
• 7:17
  should
• 7:18
  be
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  really
• 7:18
  deliberate
• 7:19
  process
• 7:19
  and
• 7:20
  just
• 7:20
  keeping
• 7:21
  stealth
• 7:22
  foremost
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  your
• 7:23
  mind
• 7:24
  is.
• 7:24
  It's
• 7:25
  one
• 7:25
  of
• 7:25
  those
• 7:25
  things
• 7:26
  that,
• 7:26
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  results
• 7:27
  are
• 7:28
  sort
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  hard
• 7:28
  to.
• 7:29
  Sort
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  hard
• 7:30
  to
• 7:30
  quantify
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  benefits
• 7:32
  there
• 7:36
  because,
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  don't
• 7:37
  know,
• 7:37
  a
• 7:38
  lot
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  folks
• 7:38
  just,
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  guess,
• 7:39
  don't
• 7:39
  really
• 7:40
  understand
• 7:40
  what's
• 7:41
  happening
• 7:41
  when
• 7:42
  you're
• 7:42
  fishing
• 7:42
  poorly.
• 7:43
  You
• 7:43
  know,
• 7:43
  you
• 7:44
  could
• 7:44
  still
• 7:44
  be
• 7:44
  catching
• 7:44
  fish,
• 7:45
  but
• 7:45
  you're.
• 7:46
  You're
• 7:46
  not
• 7:46
  getting
• 7:47
  as
• 7:47
  much
• 7:47
  as
• 7:47
  you
• 7:48
  can
• 7:48
  out
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  situation.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:50
  so
• 7:51
  all.
• 7:51
  All
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  that
• 7:52
  stuff
• 7:52
  just
• 7:52
  becomes
• 7:53
  more
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  more
• 7:53
  important,
• 7:54
  the,
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  more
• 7:55
  technical
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  conditions
• 7:56
  become.
• 7:58
  Got
• 7:58
  it.
• 7:58
  And
• 7:58
  so
• 7:58
  do
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  ever
• 7:59
  downsize
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  bug
• 8:00
  or
• 8:01
  maybe
• 8:01
  go
• 8:01
  from
• 8:01
  cork
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  foam
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  kind
• 8:02
  of
• 8:03
  deal
• 8:03
  with
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  stealth
• 8:04
  issue?
• 8:07
  You
• 8:07
  know,
• 8:08
  I,
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  have
• 8:09
  played
• 8:09
  with
• 8:09
  that,
• 8:10
  and
• 8:11
  I.
• 8:13
  I'll
• 8:14
  say
• 8:14
  I'm
• 8:14
  generally
• 8:14
  not
• 8:15
  a.
• 8:15
  Not
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  big
• 8:15
  fan
• 8:16
  of.
• 8:16
  Of
• 8:16
  foam.
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  just
• 8:17
  don't
• 8:18
  feel
• 8:18
  like
• 8:18
  I
• 8:18
  can
• 8:18
  pull
• 8:19
  a
• 8:19
  fish
• 8:20
  from
• 8:20
  quite
• 8:20
  as
• 8:21
  far
• 8:21
  with
• 8:22
  it.
• 8:24
  And,
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:26
  when
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  water's
• 8:27
  really
• 8:27
  low
• 8:27
  and
• 8:27
  clear,
• 8:29
  some
• 8:29
  days,
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  know,
• 8:30
  when
• 8:30
  it's.
• 8:30
  When
• 8:30
  it's
• 8:30
  real
• 8:31
  sunny
• 8:31
  and
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  fish
• 8:32
  are
• 8:32
  fairly
• 8:32
  predictable
• 8:33
  in
• 8:33
  their
• 8:33
  location
• 8:34
  and
• 8:35
  you
• 8:35
  can
• 8:35
  put
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  fly
• 8:36
  right
• 8:37
  near
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  fish,
• 8:38
  you
• 8:38
  know,
• 8:39
  I
• 8:39
  think
• 8:39
  it.
• 8:39
  I
• 8:39
  think
• 8:40
  it
• 8:40
  can
• 8:40
  work
• 8:40
  well.
• 8:42
  But
