  Marv,
• 0:13
  warming
• 0:14
  up
• 0:14
  slightly,
• 0:15
  but
• 0:16
  not
• 0:16
  been
• 0:16
  frosty.
• 0:17
  Yeah,
• 0:18
  it's
• 0:18
  interesting,
• 0:18
  I
• 0:19
  was
• 0:19
  watching
• 0:19
  your,
• 0:20
  your
• 0:20
  Instagram
• 0:20
  reel
• 0:21
  with
• 0:21
  that
• 0:21
  stud
• 0:22
  brown
• 0:22
  trout
• 0:22
  on
• 0:22
  the
• 0:22
  streamer,
• 0:23
  and
• 0:23
  it's
• 0:23
  kind
• 0:23
  of
• 0:23
  funny.
• 0:24
  You
• 0:24
  guys
• 0:24
  were
• 0:24
  truly
• 0:25
  professional.
• 0:25
  Had
• 0:26
  the
• 0:26
  latex
• 0:26
  gloves
• 0:26
  and
• 0:27
  the
• 0:27
  whole
• 0:27
  nine
• 0:27
  yards.
• 0:29
  Yeah,
• 0:31
  I,
• 0:31
  I
• 0:31
  think
• 0:32
  true
• 0:32
  to
• 0:34
  what
• 0:34
  I
• 0:34
  do
• 0:34
  with
• 0:35
  all
• 0:35
  walks
• 0:35
  of
• 0:36
  guiding
• 0:36
  and
• 0:36
  tying
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  fishing,
• 0:37
  I
• 0:38
  have
• 0:39
  gotten
• 0:39
  three
• 0:40
  different
• 0:40
  types
• 0:40
  of,
• 0:42
  you
• 0:42
  know,
• 0:42
  there's
• 0:42
  the
• 0:43
  mechanic
• 0:43
  gloves
• 0:44
  and
• 0:45
  I've
• 0:45
  actually
• 0:45
  become
• 0:46
  partial
• 0:46
  to
• 0:46
  grease
• 0:47
  monkey,
• 0:48
  though
• 0:48
  they
• 0:48
  weren't
• 0:49
  available
• 0:49
  when
• 0:49
  I
• 0:49
  was
• 0:50
  getting
• 0:50
  a
• 0:50
  bunch
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  different
• 0:50
  types
• 0:51
  of
• 0:51
  tests.
• 0:52
  And
• 0:53
  I,
• 0:54
  I
• 0:54
  think
• 0:54
  I'm,
• 0:55
  I'm
• 0:55
  now
• 0:55
  partial
• 0:56
  to
• 0:56
  the,
• 0:57
  the
• 0:58
  latex,
• 0:59
  oddly
• 0:59
  enough,
• 1:01
  but
• 1:02
  they're
• 1:02
  sort
• 1:02
  of
• 1:02
  an
• 1:02
  off
• 1:03
  putting,
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  know,
• 1:05
  medical
• 1:06
  beige
• 1:07
  color.
• 1:07
  So
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  look
• 1:08
  way
• 1:08
  cooler
• 1:09
  with
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  black
• 1:09
  ones.
• 1:10
  Yeah,
• 1:10
  that's
• 1:11
  what
• 1:11
  I've
• 1:11
  got.
• 1:11
  I
• 1:11
  guess
• 1:11
  they're
• 1:12
  actually
• 1:12
  technically
• 1:12
  not
• 1:12
  latex
• 1:13
  anymore.
• 1:13
  I
• 1:13
  think
• 1:13
  they're
• 1:14
  nitrile.
• 1:15
  Yeah,
• 1:15
  most
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  them
• 1:16
  are
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  ones
• 1:17
  that
• 1:17
  I,
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  ones
• 1:18
  that
• 1:19
  I've
• 1:19
  come
• 1:19
  to.
• 1:21
  You
• 1:21
  know,
• 1:21
  Venom
• 1:22
  Steel
• 1:22
  is
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  brand
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  makes
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  number
• 1:23
  of
• 1:24
  these
• 1:24
  and
• 1:25
  they
• 1:25
  do
• 1:25
  some,
• 1:26
  some
• 1:26
  latex
• 1:26
  and
• 1:27
  they
• 1:27
  do
• 1:27
  nitrile.
• 1:27
  But
• 1:28
  yeah,
• 1:28
  those
• 1:28
  black
• 1:29
  ones
• 1:29
  are
• 1:29
  nitrile
• 1:30
  and
• 1:30
  they
• 1:30
  just,
• 1:31
  man,
• 1:32
  that,
• 1:32
  that's,
• 1:33
  that's
• 1:33
  the
• 1:33
  difference
• 1:34
  between
• 1:35
  legitimately
• 1:35
  the
• 1:36
  difference
• 1:36
  between
• 1:36
  fishing
• 1:36
  and
• 1:37
  not
• 1:37
  fishing.
• 1:37
  When
• 1:38
  it's
• 1:38
  30
• 1:38
  degrees
• 1:38
  out
• 1:39
  and
• 1:40
  you're
• 1:40
  fishing
• 1:40
  streamers
• 1:41
  and
• 1:41
  you're
• 1:41
  stripping
• 1:41
  line
• 1:41
  in,
• 1:42
  it's.
• 1:43
  If
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  don't
• 1:44
  have
• 1:44
  them,
• 1:44
  you're
• 1:44
  not
• 1:44
  fishing.
• 1:45
  It,
• 1:46
  it's
• 1:46
  just,
• 1:47
  it's
• 1:47
  painful
• 1:48
  if
• 1:48
  you,
• 1:48
  if
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  do
• 1:49
  have
• 1:49
  them,
• 1:49
  and
• 1:49
  ideally
• 1:50
  you
• 1:50
  have
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  pair
• 1:50
  or
• 1:50
  two
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  some
• 1:51
  hand
• 1:51
  warmers
• 1:53
  go
• 1:53
  out
• 1:53
  6,
• 1:53
  7,
• 1:54
  8
• 1:54
  hours,
• 1:54
  no
• 1:54
  problem,
• 1:55
  as
• 1:55
  long
• 1:55
  as
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  got
• 1:55
  layers.
• 1:56
  Yeah,
• 1:57
  it's
• 1:57
  pretty
• 1:57
  amazing.
• 1:58
  So
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  know
• 1:58
  what
• 1:58
  I
• 1:59
  normally
• 1:59
  do
• 1:59
  is
• 1:59
  I
• 1:59
  have
• 1:59
  a
• 1:59
  pair
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  those
• 2:01
  Sims
• 2:01
  fleece
• 2:01
  mittens,
• 2:02
  right.
• 2:02
  With
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  individual
• 2:04
  fingers
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  wear
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  nitrile
• 2:07
  gloves
• 2:07
  underneath
• 2:07
  those.
• 2:08
  And
• 2:08
  I'm
• 2:08
  always
• 2:08
  amazed.
• 2:09
  I
• 2:09
  mean,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  can
• 2:09
  tie
• 2:09
  on
• 2:10
  midges
• 2:10
  wearing
• 2:10
  those
• 2:11
  gloves
• 2:11
  for
• 2:11
  sure.
• 2:12
  Yeah,
• 2:13
  I've
• 2:13
  done,
• 2:15
  I'm
• 2:15
  now
• 2:15
  doing.
• 2:16
  I
• 2:16
  actually
• 2:16
  asked
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  guy
• 2:17
  at
• 2:17
  U
• 2:17
  Haul,
• 2:18
  I
• 2:18
  was
• 2:19
  refilling
• 2:19
  propane
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  heat
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  workshop,
• 2:21
  and
• 2:21
  I
• 2:22
  saw
• 2:22
  some
• 2:22
  gloves
• 2:23
  that
• 2:23
  he
• 2:23
  had
• 2:23
  and
• 2:24
  was
• 2:24
  using
• 2:24
  it
• 2:24
  to
• 2:25
  type
• 2:26
  something
• 2:26
  on
• 2:26
  his
• 2:26
  phone.
• 2:27
  I
• 2:27
  was
• 2:27
  like,
• 2:27
  hey,
• 2:28
  man,
• 2:28
  what
• 2:28
  do
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  got
• 2:28
  there?
• 2:29
  So
• 2:29
  I'm
• 2:30
  always
• 2:30
  looking
• 2:30
  for
• 2:30
  whatever
• 2:31
  it
• 2:31
  is
• 2:31
  that's
• 2:31
  gonna
• 2:32
  help
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  little
• 2:33
  bit.
• 2:34
  And
• 2:35
  Keep
• 2:36
  your
• 2:36
  hands
• 2:36
  warm.
• 2:37
  That
• 2:37
  helps
• 2:37
  a
• 2:37
  lot
• 2:37
  a
• 2:38
  bit.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:39
  still
• 2:39
  let
• 2:39
  you
• 2:39
  post
• 2:39
  on
• 2:39
  the
• 2:40
  gram,
• 2:40
  right?
• 2:41
  That's
• 2:41
  right.
• 2:43
  So
• 2:44
  if
• 2:44
  people
• 2:44
  have
• 2:44
  been
• 2:45
  paying
• 2:45
  attention,
• 2:46
  you
• 2:47
  are
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  the
• 2:48
  thick
• 2:48
  of
• 2:48
  post
• 2:49
  spawn
• 2:49
  streame
• 2:50
  for
• 2:50
  big
• 2:50
  brown
• 2:50
  trout
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  muskie
• 2:51
  fishing.
• 2:52
  What
• 2:52
  are
• 2:52
  you
• 2:52
  seeing
• 2:52
  on
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  water?
• 2:54
  Yeah,
• 2:55
  so
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  rivers
• 2:56
  are.
• 2:57
  I
• 2:57
  mean
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  Wataga
• 2:58
  is
• 2:58
  finally
• 2:58
  clearing
• 2:59
  after.
• 3:01
  I'm
• 3:01
  not
• 3:02
  going
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  say
• 3:02
  finally
• 3:02
  clearing.
• 3:03
  It's
• 3:03
  clearing
• 3:03
  at
• 3:03
  the
• 3:04
  rate
• 3:04
  that
• 3:04
  it's
• 3:04
  been
• 3:05
  clearing.
• 3:05
  It's.
• 3:06
  It's
• 3:06
  been
• 3:06
  long
• 3:07
  enough
• 3:07
  to
• 3:07
  where
• 3:07
  that,
• 3:07
  that
• 3:08
  real
• 3:08
  slow
• 3:09
  clear
• 3:09
  up
• 3:09
  is
• 3:10
  finally
• 3:10
  resulting
• 3:11
  in
• 3:12
  not
• 3:12
  just
• 3:13
  fishable
• 3:13
  water,
• 3:14
  but
• 3:15
  super
• 3:16
  juicy
• 3:16
  water.
• 3:17
  So
• 3:17
  it's
• 3:17
  been.
• 3:20
  It's
• 3:21
  still
• 3:21
  not
• 3:21
  easy.
• 3:22
  You
• 3:22
  know,
• 3:22
  there's
• 3:25
  I,
• 3:25
  I
• 3:26
  start
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  feel
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  little
• 3:27
  hesitant
• 3:28
  when
• 3:30
  the
• 3:31
  idea
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  oh,
• 3:31

• 3:31
  just
• 3:32
  go
• 3:32
  out
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  cast
• 3:32
  some
• 3:32
  streamers.
• 3:33
  There's
• 3:33
  gonna
• 3:33
  be
• 3:33
  big
• 3:33
  browns
• 3:34
  coming
• 3:34
  up
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  smashing.
• 3:35
  I'm
• 3:35
  like,
• 3:35
  you
• 3:36
  still
• 3:36
  gotta
• 3:36
  work.

• 3:47
  handful

  of

  flashes

  To

  a
• 4:24
  certain
• 4:24
  extent
• 4:25
  March.
• 4:25
  Post
• 4:25
  spawn
• 4:27
  streamer
• 4:27
  fishing
• 4:28
  is
• 4:28
  just
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  ceiling
• 4:29
  for
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  big
• 4:30
  fish
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  highest
• 4:32
  that
• 4:32
  I've
• 4:32
  seen
• 4:32
  it,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:36
  know,
• 4:36
  outside
• 4:36
  of
• 4:37
  sight
• 4:37
  fishing
• 4:37
  them
• 4:38
  on
• 4:38
  reds.
• 4:39
  It's.
• 4:39
  It's
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  highest
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  I.
• 4:40
  The
• 4:41
  highest,
• 4:41
  you
• 4:42
  know,
• 4:42
  if
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  want
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  talk
• 4:42
  about
• 4:43
  like
• 4:43
  catch
• 4:43
  per
• 4:43
  effort.
• 4:44
  The
• 4:45
  highest.
• 4:48
  It's
• 4:48
  hard
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  say
• 4:48
  catching
• 4:49
  because
• 4:49
  a
• 4:50
  lot
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  times
• 4:50
  they
• 4:50
  eat
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  get
• 4:51
  caught
• 4:51
  with
• 4:51
  your
• 4:52
  pants
• 4:52
  down.
• 4:53
  But
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  highest
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  seen
• 4:54
  a
• 4:54
  big
• 4:55
  fish
• 4:55
  per
• 4:56
  cast.
• 4:57
  And
• 4:57
  also,
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  know,
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  relative
• 5:00
  number
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  big
• 5:00
  fish
• 5:00
  that
• 5:01
  we're
• 5:01
  seeing
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  getting
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  eat
• 5:05
  compared
• 5:05
  to
• 5:06
  you
• 5:07
  know,
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  medium
• 5:07
  size
• 5:08
  and
• 5:08
  small
• 5:08
  fish.
• 5:09
  It's
• 5:11
  on
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  good
• 5:12
  days,
• 5:12
  man,
• 5:13
  it's.
• 5:13
  That
• 5:14
  ceiling
• 5:14
  is
• 5:14
  as
• 5:14
  high
• 5:15
  as
• 5:15
  it
• 5:15
  could
• 5:15
  be.
• 5:16
  And
• 5:19
  I've
• 5:20
  had
• 5:20
  phenomenal
• 5:20
  days
• 5:21
  every
• 5:22
  week
• 5:23
  of
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  year
• 5:25
  in
• 5:25
  all
• 5:25
  different
• 5:26
  conditions
• 5:27
  because
• 5:27
  it's
• 5:28
  fishing
• 5:28
  but
• 5:29
  just
• 5:29
  on
• 5:29
  a.
• 5:31
  Because
• 5:31
  it
• 5:31
  is
• 5:32
  fishing.
• 5:32
  It's.
• 5:33
  It's
• 5:33
  numbers
• 5:34
  and
• 5:36
  getting
• 5:37
  there
• 5:37
  in
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  right
• 5:38
  zone
• 5:39
  is
• 5:41
  what
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  have
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  do.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:42
  then
• 5:43
  putting
• 5:43
  all
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  good
• 5:44
  casts
• 5:44
  in
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  you
• 5:45
  know,
• 5:45
  all
• 5:45
  those
• 5:45
  things
• 5:46
  we
• 5:46
  talk
• 5:46
  about
• 5:46
  getting
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  flies
• 5:47
  where
• 5:47
  they
• 5:47
  need
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:48
  practicing
• 5:50
  shooting
• 5:50
  out
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  back
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  hauling
• 5:51
  forward
• 5:52
  all
• 5:52
  that
• 5:52
  good
• 5:52
  stuff.
• 5:54
  But
• 5:54
  you
• 5:54
  combine
• 5:55
  that
• 5:55
  with
• 5:56
  this
• 5:57
  time
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  year.
• 5:58
  And
• 5:58
  that's
• 5:58
  where
• 5:59
  your,
• 6:00
  your
• 6:00
  numbers
• 6:00
  start
• 6:01
  to,
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  go
• 6:02
  up
• 6:03
  in
• 6:03
  terms
• 6:03
  of
• 6:03
  being
• 6:03
  able
• 6:03
  to,
• 6:04
  to
• 6:05
  see
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  fish
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  might
• 6:06
  not
• 6:06
  otherwise
• 6:07
  see.
• 6:08
  Got
• 6:08
  it.
• 6:08
  And
• 6:09
  so
• 6:09
  what
• 6:10
  are
• 6:10
  you
• 6:10
  seeing
• 6:10
  on
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  muskie
• 6:11
  front?
• 6:14
  Man,
• 6:15
  you
• 6:15
  know,
• 6:15
  it's
• 6:15
  been
• 6:16
  like
• 6:17
  two
• 6:17
  weeks
• 6:18
  since
• 6:19
  I've
• 6:19
  been
• 6:19
  out
• 6:20
  and
• 6:23
  I've
• 6:23
  been
• 6:23
  exploring
• 6:24
  new
• 6:24
  water
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  moving
• 6:26
  some
• 6:26
  fish.
• 6:27
  I,
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  had
• 6:28
  a,
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  had
• 6:30
  a
• 6:30
  handful
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  trips
• 6:32
  muskie.
• 6:33
  You
• 6:33
  know,
• 6:34
  the,
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  trip
• 6:34
  front
• 6:35
  has
• 6:35
  been
• 6:35
  a
• 6:35
  little
• 6:35
  slower.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:36
  so
• 6:36
  it's
• 6:38
  this
• 6:39
  one,
• 6:39
  this
• 6:39
  one's
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  little
• 6:40
  weird
• 6:40
  because
• 6:40
  you,
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  know,
• 6:43
  I've
• 6:43
  been
• 6:43
  fishing
• 6:43
  there
• 6:43
  enough
• 6:44
  to
• 6:44
  know
• 6:44
  where,
• 6:45
  where
• 6:45
  they
• 6:46
  are
• 6:46
  and
• 6:46
  where
• 6:46
  they're
• 6:46
  going
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  be
• 6:47
  at
• 6:47
  different
• 6:47
  times
• 6:47
  a
• 6:47
  year.
• 6:48
  And,
• 6:48
  you
• 6:48
  know,
• 6:48
  getting
• 6:49
  up
• 6:49
  there
• 6:49
  and,
• 6:49
  and
• 6:50
  checking
• 6:50
  on
• 6:50
  them
• 6:50
  every
• 6:50
  once
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  while,
• 6:51
  it's
• 6:51
  like,
• 6:53
  do
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  go
• 6:54
  out
• 6:55
  and
• 6:58
  catch
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  fish
• 6:59
  and
• 7:00
  put
• 7:00
  a
• 7:00
  picture
• 7:00
  up
• 7:00
  so
• 7:01
  that
• 7:01
  I
• 7:01
  can
• 7:01
  get
• 7:01
  clients
• 7:01
  on
• 7:01
  the
• 7:02
  boat,
• 7:02
  or
• 7:04
  do
• 7:04
  I
• 7:05
  go
• 7:05
  find
• 7:05
  new
• 7:05
  water
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  continue
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  get
• 7:07
  more
• 7:07
  addresses?
• 7:08
  And
• 7:09
  when
• 7:09
  the
• 7:10
  trips
• 7:10
  start
• 7:10
  rolling
• 7:10
  in,
• 7:11
  I
• 7:11
  have
• 7:12
  all
• 7:12
  my
• 7:12
  fish
• 7:13
  that
• 7:14
  are
• 7:14
  relatively
• 7:15
  not
• 7:16
  pressured.
• 7:17
  So
• 7:18
  I've
• 7:18
  been
• 7:18
  doing
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  new
• 7:19
  water
• 7:19
  thing,
• 7:20
  and
• 7:21
  it's
• 7:21
  fun
• 7:21
  in
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  different
• 7:22
  way.
• 7:22
  I've
• 7:22
  been
• 7:22
  going
• 7:22
  out
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  Nola
• 7:23
  Chucky
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  some
• 7:27
  spots
• 7:27
  that
• 7:28
  are
• 7:28
  a
• 7:28
  little
• 7:30
  off
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  beaten
• 7:30
  path
• 7:31
  on
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  French
• 7:31
  Broad
• 7:32
  and
• 7:34
  promising
• 7:34
  stuff,
• 7:35
  but
• 7:36
  been
• 7:36
  pretty
• 7:37
  quiet
• 7:37
  on
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  front.
• 7:38
  And
• 7:38
  some
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  is
• 7:39
  intentional
• 7:39
  and
• 7:40
  other
• 7:40
  stuff
• 7:40
  is,
• 7:43
  we'll
• 7:44
  say
• 7:44
  situational,
• 7:45
  but
• 7:47
  patience
• 7:48
  pays
• 7:48
  off.
• 7:49
  Yeah.
• 7:50
  And
• 7:50
  so
• 7:50
  I
• 7:50
  guess
• 7:50
  to
• 7:51
  kind
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  close
• 7:51
  out
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  trifecta.
• 7:53
  How
• 7:53
  is
• 7:53
  everything
• 7:54
  on
• 7:54
  the
• 7:55
  doctor
• 7:55
  Dear
• 7:56
  death
• 7:56
  front?
• 7:58
  Oh,
• 7:58
  man,
• 7:59
  we
• 7:59
  are.
• 8:01
  We
• 8:01
  are
• 8:01
  fully
• 8:01
  cooking.
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  think
• 8:02
  there's
• 8:02
  probably
• 8:03
  going
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  be
• 8:03
  some
• 8:03
  pictures
• 8:04
  involved
• 8:05
  in
• 8:06
  this
• 8:07
  podcast
• 8:08
  or,
• 8:08
  or
• 8:08
  Instagram
• 8:09
  post.
• 8:11
  I
• 8:12
  did
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  release,
• 8:14
  kind
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  little
• 8:15
  one.
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  just,
• 8:16
  I
• 8:17
  had
• 8:17
  enough
• 8:17
  people
• 8:18
  asking,
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  know,
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  regular
• 8:19
  folks
• 8:19
  who,
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  know,
• 8:23
  speaking
• 8:23
  very
• 8:23
  candidly,
• 8:24
  it's
• 8:24
  nice
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  have
• 8:24
  done
• 8:25
  this
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  way
• 8:25
  I've
• 8:25
  done
• 8:25
  it,
• 8:26
  which
• 8:26
  is,
• 8:28
  you
• 8:29
  know,
• 8:29
  grades
• 8:29
  one
• 8:29
  through
• 8:29
  five,
• 8:30
  one
• 8:30
  and
• 8:31
  two
• 8:31
  being
• 8:32
  like
• 8:33
  absolute
• 8:35
  freaks.
• 8:36
  Like
• 8:36
  grade
• 8:36
  ones,
• 8:37
  get
• 8:38
  out
• 8:38
  of
• 8:38
  here.
• 8:39
  They.
• 8:40
  They
• 8:40
  don't
• 8:40
  belong
• 8:42
  anywhere,
• 8:43
  let
• 8:43
  alone
• 8:44
  in
• 8:44
  your
• 8:44
  tying
• 8:45
  room
• 8:45
  getting
• 8:45
  cut
• 8:45
  up
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  put
• 8:47
  on
• 8:47
  a
• 8:47
  hook
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  you're
• 8:47
  gonna
• 8:48
  put
• 8:48
  into
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  tree.
• 8:50
  So
• 8:51
  doing
• 8:51
  it
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  where,
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  know,
• 8:52
  the,
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  first
• 8:53
  couple
• 8:53
  years
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  did
• 8:53
  it,
• 8:54
  it's
• 8:54
  just
• 8:54
  there's
• 8:55
  so
• 8:55
  few
• 8:55
  and
• 8:55
  far
• 8:55
  between
• 8:56
  and
• 8:56
  they're
• 8:56
  so
• 8:57
  insane
• 8:58
  that
• 8:58
  it's
• 8:58
  like,
• 8:59
  all
• 8:59
  right,
• 8:59
  well,
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  can't.
• 9:02
  It's
• 9:02
  so
• 9:02
  hard
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  sell
• 9:03
  those.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:05
  at
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  same
• 9:05
  time,
• 9:06
  look
• 9:06
  at
• 9:06
  selling,
• 9:07
  you
• 9:08
  know,
• 9:08
  selling
• 9:08
  this
• 9:08
  for
• 9:08
  what,
• 9:09
  20,
• 9:09
  25
• 9:09
  bucks?
• 9:10
  And
• 9:10
  then
• 9:10
  at
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  same
• 9:10
  Time
• 9:11
  you're
• 9:11
  looking
• 9:11
  at,
• 9:12
  you
• 9:12
  know,
• 9:12
  the
• 9:12
  big
• 9:12
  manufacturers
• 9:13
  and,
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  know,
• 9:14
  in
• 9:14
  the
• 9:15
  shops
• 9:15
  and
• 9:15
  the.
• 9:16
  The
• 9:16
  larger
• 9:17
  distribution
• 9:18
  sources
• 9:19
  for
• 9:19
  15
• 9:19
  bucks.
• 9:20
  And
• 9:20
  I'm
• 9:20
  pricing
• 9:21
  kind
• 9:21
  of
• 9:21
  on
• 9:21
  that.
• 9:22
  And
• 9:23
  it's
• 9:23
  like
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  supply
• 9:25
  demand
• 9:25
  curve
• 9:26
  is
• 9:26
  not
• 9:26
  right
• 9:26
  here.
• 9:27
  And
• 9:27
  so
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  started.
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  wanted
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  create
• 9:30
  some
• 9:30
  separation
• 9:31
  so
• 9:31
  that
• 9:31
  there
• 9:31
  could
• 9:32
  be,
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  know,
• 9:32
  these
• 9:32
  other
• 9:33
  classes
• 9:33
  that
• 9:34
  are
• 9:34
  admittedly
• 9:36
  what
• 9:36
  I
• 9:36
  felt
• 9:37
  was
• 9:37
  like,
• 9:37
  shockingly
• 9:37
  expensive.
• 9:38
  But
• 9:39
  30,
• 9:40
  35
• 9:40
  bucks,
• 9:40
  you're
• 9:41
  getting
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  tail
• 9:41
  that
• 9:43
  it's,
• 9:44
  you
• 9:44
  know,
• 9:46
  it's
• 9:46
  six
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  other
• 9:47
  tails.
• 9:48
  And
• 9:50
  it
• 9:50
  doesn't
• 9:50
  matter
• 9:51
  how
• 9:51
  many
• 9:51
  $15
• 9:52
  tails
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  buy
• 9:52
  from
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  store.
• 9:54
  You
• 9:54
  don't
• 9:54
  get
• 9:55
  the,
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:56
  four
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  a
• 9:57
  half
• 9:57
  to
• 9:57
  six
• 9:58
  inch
• 9:59
  fibers
• 10:00
  as
• 10:00
  the
• 10:00
  majority
• 10:01
  on.
• 10:02
  On
• 10:02
  anything.
• 10:03
  So
• 10:04
  I
• 10:04
  wanted
• 10:04
  to
• 10:04
  get
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  number
• 10:05
  of

• 10:07
  and,
• 10:08
  and
• 10:09

• 10:09
  different
• 10:09
  colors
• 10:10
  going.
• 10:10
  I'm
• 10:10
  gonna
• 10:10
  have
• 10:10

• 10:16
  next
• 10:16
  week
• 10:16
  or
• 10:17
  two.
• 10:17
  And
• 10:18
  I
• 10:19
  actually
• 10:19
  just
• 10:19
  finished
• 10:20
  up

  dark

  ripping
• 10:30
  if
• 10:30
  you
• 10:30

• 10:31
  tell.
• 10:31
  Yeah.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:32
  I
• 10:32
  may
• 10:32
  or
