  are

  you
• 0:13
  doing?
• 0:13
  Well,
• 0:14
  Marvin
• 0:15
  just
• 0:17
  had
• 0:18
  some
• 0:18
  time
• 0:18
  to
• 0:18
  reflect
• 0:19
  on
• 0:19
  a
• 0:20
  really
• 0:20
  fun,
• 0:22
  good
• 0:22
  first
• 0:22
  season
• 0:23
  with
• 0:23
  Ruch
• 0:23
  angling
• 0:24
  and
• 0:25
  a
• 0:25
  little
• 0:25
  sad
• 0:25
  to
• 0:26
  wrap
• 0:26
  it
• 0:26
  up,
• 0:26
  but,
• 0:26
  you
• 0:27
  know,
• 0:27
  time
• 0:27
  to.
• 0:27
  Time
• 0:27
  to
• 0:27
  move
• 0:28
  on
• 0:28
  and
• 0:28
  start
• 0:29
  just
• 0:30
  wishing
• 0:30
  for
• 0:30
  spring.
• 0:31
  Yeah,
• 0:32
  you
• 0:32
  were
• 0:32
  telling
• 0:32
  me
• 0:32
  that
• 0:32
  it's
• 0:33
  not
• 0:33
  like
• 0:33
  you
• 0:33
  can't
• 0:33
  go
• 0:33
  out
• 0:34
  and
• 0:34
  catch
• 0:34
  them,
• 0:34
  but
• 0:34
  it's
• 0:34
  kind
• 0:35
  of
• 0:35
  not
• 0:36
  worth
• 0:36
  it
• 0:36
  at
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  point,
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  maybe
• 0:37
  a
• 0:38
  way
• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  say
• 0:38
  it.
• 0:40
  Yeah,
• 0:40
  I
• 0:41
  mean,
• 0:41
  from
• 0:41
  a.
• 0:41
  From
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  guiding
• 0:42
  standpoint,
• 0:43
  I
• 0:44
  think.
• 0:44
  I
• 0:45
  mean,
• 0:45
  it's
• 0:45
  kind
• 0:46
  of
• 0:46
  unseasonably
• 0:47
  consistent
• 0:47
  right
• 0:48
  now,
• 0:50
  but,
• 0:50
  yeah,
• 0:50
  my,
• 0:51
  my
• 0:51
  schedule
• 0:51
  is
• 0:51
  empty.
• 0:52
  I'm
• 0:52
  back
• 0:52
  to
• 0:53
  side
• 0:54
  work
• 0:54
  and.
• 0:56
  Yeah,
• 0:56
  but,
• 0:56
  you
• 0:57
  know,
• 0:57
  the,
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  rivers,
• 0:58
  I.
• 0:58
  Fish
• 0:59
  are
• 0:59
  very,
• 0:59
  very
• 1:00
  low,
• 1:00
  very,
• 1:01
  very
• 1:01
  clear.
• 1:02
  Fish
• 1:03
  are
• 1:03
  potted
• 1:03
  up.
• 1:05
  You
• 1:05
  can
• 1:05
  definitely
• 1:06
  still
• 1:06
  go
• 1:06
  out
• 1:06
  and
• 1:06
  catch
• 1:06
  them,
• 1:07
  but
• 1:08
  my
• 1:09
  season
• 1:09
  has
• 1:09
  ended.
• 1:10
  Got
• 1:11
  it.
• 1:11
  And
• 1:11
  I
• 1:11
  guess,
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  know,
• 1:12
  obviously
• 1:12
  you've
• 1:12
  got
• 1:13
  other
• 1:13
  stuff
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  do,
• 1:13
  but
• 1:13
  I
• 1:13
  guess
• 1:14
  your
• 1:14
  point
• 1:14
  really
• 1:14
  is
• 1:14
  that
• 1:15
  it's
• 1:15
  like,
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  know,
• 1:15
  you're
• 1:16
  probably
• 1:16
  covering
• 1:16
  a
• 1:16
  lot
• 1:16
  of
• 1:17
  water
• 1:17
  just
• 1:17
  to
• 1:17
  get
• 1:17
  to
• 1:17
  pods
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  fish.
• 1:18
  It
• 1:18
  kind
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  spaces
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  day
• 1:19
  out
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  little
• 1:19
  bit.
• 1:21
  Yeah.
• 1:22
  Yeah.
• 1:25
  The
• 1:25
  way
• 1:25
  to
• 1:25
  do
• 1:25
  that
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  an
• 1:26
  unpowered
• 1:27
  vessel
• 1:27
  is
• 1:27
  either
• 1:28
  spend
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  lot
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  time
• 1:30
  recycling
• 1:30
  water
• 1:31
  in
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  short
• 1:33
  float
• 1:34
  or
• 1:34
  take
• 1:35
  a
• 1:35
  really
• 1:35
  long
• 1:35
  float
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  you're
• 1:37
  hitting
• 1:37
  water,
• 1:38
  pushing
• 1:38
  through,
• 1:40
  you
• 1:40
  know,
• 1:40
  dead
• 1:40
  water
• 1:41
  and
• 1:41
  then
• 1:41
  hitting
• 1:42
  spots.
• 1:42
  But,
• 1:45
  yeah,
• 1:45
  maybe
• 1:46
  that'll
• 1:46
  be
• 1:46
  more
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  a
• 1:47
  thing
• 1:47
  I'd
• 1:47
  want
• 1:47
  to
• 1:48
  do
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  jet
• 1:48
  next,
• 1:49
  next
• 1:49
  fall.
• 1:50
  But
• 1:50
  right
• 1:51
  now,
• 1:52
  thinking
• 1:52
  musky.
• 1:53
  Going
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  get
• 1:54
  back
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  tying
• 1:55
  flies
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  little
• 1:55
  bit,
• 1:56
  which
• 1:56
  I'm
• 1:57
  looking
• 1:57
  forward
• 1:57
  to,
• 1:57
  and
• 1:58
  getting
• 1:58
  some
• 1:58
  good,
• 1:59
  Getting
• 1:59
  some
• 1:59
  good
• 1:59
  inspiration
• 2:00
  from
• 2:00
  friends
• 2:01
  on
• 2:01
  Instagram,
• 2:02

• 2:04
  stuff
• 2:05
  coming
• 2:05
  from
• 2:05
  Russ
• 2:05
  Maddin,
• 2:06
  that's
• 2:06
  getting
• 2:06
  me
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  little
• 2:08
  bit
• 2:08
  more
• 2:09
  inspired
• 2:09
  to
• 2:10
  sit
• 2:10
  down
• 2:10
  and
• 2:11
  tie
• 2:11
  some
• 2:12
  weapons,
• 2:12
  as
• 2:12
  you
• 2:12
  would
• 2:13
  say.
• 2:13
  Yeah,
• 2:13
  there
• 2:13
  you
• 2:14
  go.
• 2:14
  Well,
• 2:14
  you
• 2:14
  know,
• 2:14
  also
• 2:14
  too,
• 2:15
  it's
• 2:15
  kind
• 2:15
  of
• 2:15
  funny,
• 2:15
  you
• 2:15
  know,
• 2:15
  because
• 2:16
  you
• 2:16
  could
• 2:16
  float
• 2:16
  that
• 2:16
  water
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  you
• 2:17
  could
• 2:17
  listen
• 2:17
  to
• 2:17
  like,
• 2:18
  every
• 2:18
  song
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  Morrissey
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  the
• 2:19
  Smiths
• 2:19
  ever
• 2:20
  put
• 2:20
  out
• 2:20
  before
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  got
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  next
• 2:21
  spot.
• 2:22
  God.
• 2:23
  Yeah.
• 2:23
  I
• 2:23
  mean,
• 2:23
  we.
• 2:24
  That's.
• 2:24
  That's
• 2:24
  more
• 2:24
  of
• 2:24
  a
• 2:25
  musky
• 2:25
  thing.
• 2:26
  I'll.
• 2:26
  I'll
• 2:26
  start,
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  know,
• 2:27
  weeping
• 2:29
  in
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  couple
• 2:29
  weeks
• 2:30
  here
• 2:30
  after
• 2:30
  we
• 2:30
  get
• 2:30
  some
• 2:30
  rain
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  some
• 2:31
  Morrissey
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  Smiths
• 2:33
  just
• 2:33
  kind
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  like,
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  know,
• 2:35
  visibly,
• 2:36
  visibly
• 2:36
  upset
• 2:37
  on
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  water.
• 2:37
  Yeah.
• 2:38
  I
• 2:38
  would
• 2:38
  think
• 2:38
  that
• 2:38
  muskie
• 2:39
  fishing
• 2:39
  would
• 2:39
  probably
• 2:39
  be
• 2:40
  better
• 2:40
  for
• 2:40
  death
• 2:40
  metal,
• 2:40
  but
• 2:41
  that's
• 2:41
  just
• 2:41
  me.
• 2:43
  Yeah.
• 2:44
  Usually,
• 2:44
  I
• 2:45
  mean,
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  don't
• 2:45
  know
• 2:45
  if
• 2:45
  I'm
• 2:45
  feeling
• 2:46
  real
• 2:46
  cocky
• 2:47
  like
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  know,
• 2:48
  the
• 2:49
  either
• 2:49
  modern
• 2:50
  hip
• 2:50
  hop,
• 2:51
  like
• 2:51
  future
• 2:52
  or
• 2:52
  some
• 2:52
  like
• 2:52
  older
• 2:53
  stuff,
• 2:54
  you
• 2:54
  know,
• 2:54
  just
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  put
• 2:55
  some
• 2:55
  pep
• 2:55
  in
• 2:55
  your
• 2:55
  step,
• 2:56
  some
• 2:56
  Black
• 2:57
  Sabbath.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:58
  sometimes
• 2:58
  just
• 2:59
  embracing
• 2:59
  the
• 3:00
  sadness
• 3:01
  kind
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  helps.
• 3:03
  Well,
• 3:04
  there
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  go.
• 3:04
  Yeah.
• 3:04
  You
• 3:04
  don't
• 3:04
  want
• 3:04
  to
• 3:05
  listen
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  Cure
• 3:05
  on
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  warm
• 3:06
  day
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  dance
• 3:06
  around
• 3:06
  on
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  bow
• 3:07
  of
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  boat
• 3:07
  or
• 3:07
  anything.
• 3:09
  No.
• 3:10
  Yeah,
• 3:10
  I
• 3:10
  mean,
• 3:11
  at
• 3:11
  least
• 3:11
  has
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  be
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  little
• 3:12
  cloudy.
• 3:13
  Yeah.
• 3:14
  So
• 3:14
  you're,
• 3:14
  you're
• 3:14
  off
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  water
• 3:15
  for
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  few
• 3:15
  months.
• 3:15
  Uh,
• 3:16
  you're
• 3:16
  going
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  be
• 3:16
  tying
• 3:16
  some
• 3:17
  flies.
• 3:17
  So,
• 3:17
  you
• 3:17
  know,
• 3:18
  when
• 3:18
  are
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  going
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  start
• 3:19
  gearing
• 3:19
  up
• 3:19
  your
• 3:20
  muskie
• 3:20
  season
• 3:20
  in
• 3:20
  pa?
• 3:24
  Right
• 3:24
  now
• 3:24
  I'm
• 3:24
  just
• 3:24
  waiting
• 3:25
  on
• 3:25
  some
• 3:25
  rain.
• 3:27
  Not
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  ton
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  interest
• 3:28
  in
• 3:28
  going
• 3:28
  out
• 3:29
  in
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  conditions
• 3:29
  we
• 3:30
  have
• 3:30
  right
• 3:30
  now,
• 3:31
  seeing
• 3:31
  fish
• 3:33
  like,
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:35
  on
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  last
• 3:35
  few
• 3:35
  bass
• 3:36
  floats
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  year.
• 3:36
  But
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  don't
• 3:38
  love,
• 3:38
  I
• 3:39
  don't
• 3:39
  love
• 3:39
  casting
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  muskies
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  can
• 3:41
  see.
• 3:41
  So
• 3:42
  once
• 3:42
  we
• 3:42
  get
• 3:42
  some
• 3:42
  rain,
• 3:42
  some
• 3:43
  green
• 3:43
  water,
• 3:43
  I'll
• 3:43
  be
• 3:43
  going
• 3:44
  out
• 3:44
  there
• 3:44
  and
• 3:45
  hitting
• 3:45
  up
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  guys
• 3:46
  that,
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  want
• 3:47
  to
• 3:47
  go
• 3:47
  out.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  I'll
• 3:48
  be

  wasn't
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  hookup
• 5:39
  for
• 5:39
  Frank.
• 5:40
  Yeah.
• 5:41
  Unlike
• 5:41
  unlike
• 5:42
  some
• 5:42
  elections,
• 5:43
  this
• 5:43
  one,
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  know,
• 5:44
  this
• 5:44
  contest
• 5:45
  was
• 5:45
  not
• 5:45
  rigged.
• 5:45
  It
• 5:46
  was
• 5:46
  not
• 5:46
  rigged.
• 5:46
  And
• 5:47
  so,
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  know,
• 5:47
  that
• 5:48
  was
• 5:48
  a.
• 5:48
  Total
• 5:48
  joke,
• 5:48
  by
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  way.
• 5:49
  You
• 5:49
  were
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  one
• 5:50
  made
• 5:50
  political.
• 5:51
  Yeah.
• 5:52
  We
• 5:52
  don't
• 5:52
  want
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  have
• 5:52
  anything
• 5:53
  bad
• 5:53
  happen
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  you.
• 5:54
  So,
• 5:55
  you
• 5:55
  know,
• 5:56
  folks,
• 5:56
  we
• 5:56
  will
• 5:57
  have
• 5:57
  Brendan
• 5:57
  drop
• 5:58
  in
• 5:58
  kind
• 5:58
  of

  muskie
• 5:59
  season
• 6:00
  as
• 6:00
  he

  of
• 6:01
  gets
• 6:01
  back
• 6:01
  in
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  groove.
• 6:02
  But
• 6:02
  we
• 6:03
  figured
• 6:03
  it
• 6:03
  was
• 6:03
  probably
• 6:03
  not
• 6:04
  helpful
• 6:04
  for
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  next,
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  don't
• 6:05
  know,
• 6:06
  eight
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  10
• 6:06
  weeks
• 6:06
  for
• 6:06
  him
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  check
• 6:07
  in
• 6:07
  every
• 6:07
  two
• 6:07
  weeks
• 6:08

• 6:08
  tell
• 6:08
  you,
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08

  got
• 6:09
  his
• 6:09
  burrito
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  dinner.
• 6:11
  And
• 6:11
  so,
• 6:12
  so
• 6:12
  we'll
• 6:12
  do
• 6:13
  that.
• 6:13
  And

  November
• 7:37
  towards
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37

  predictable
• 7:42

  it
• 7:43
  gets
