  close to not only growing up around Toledo Bend, but by Sam
• 2:49
  Rayburn, which is not far. Are from Toledo been there
• 2:53
  sister, lakes and fish at times fish.
• 2:56
  Very similarly. And at times, they couldn't fish
• 3:00
  more differently, even at the same time of year but to really,
• 3:04
  really good options. One more money, fishing on Sam
• 3:09
  Rayburn, not that. I want a ton of money and that
• 3:12
  little time frame but did did win some money 11 way more on
• 3:17

  Up to bring people to the tailgate not that, I'm not that
• 4:25
  it really needs a whole hell of a lot of help but but, but we do
• 4:29
  fun. So I do want to talk about that
• 4:31
  at some point this season would Darren and kind of where the
• 4:35
  whole story of it because it, I know the story of course, but it
• 4:39
  needs to be shared and it needs to come from his, his point of
• 4:43
  view. And then, of course, you nailed
• 4:46
  it with food. Chad, no doubt love.
• 4:49
  Barbecue, love all types of Food?
• 4:52
  What a treat to be able to receive that tri-tip that that
• 4:57
  you had sent to me. Just unbelievable, just that
• 5:00
  type of stuff. I mean that that's it.
• 5:02
  Does it get any better? It's one of the nicest gift I've
• 5:05
  ever received from from anybody. I mean that's just awesome.
• 5:09
  You know somebody buys me a pack of Ribeyes that is that's that's
• 5:13
  like buying a lady, a dozen roses or something.
• 5:16
  That's beyond my love language. Your me.
• 5:19
  I don't I don't know. No, I don't know what to do, but
• 5:23
  you're in a robe right now. So I need to keep it keep my
• 5:26
  thoughts pure and what I mean? No, absolutely.
• 5:29
  And I'll tell you honestly, honestly how I arrived at buying
• 5:34
  you that fine tri-tip is I was going on and I was like to my
• 5:39
  old neighbor who used to live next door, he's from Illinois.
• 5:42
  He's the one that turned me on to this a.
• 5:43
  He's a hell of a grill guy, I know.
• 5:45
  Vince, dude, he's one of those science.
• 5:47
  Dialed in, everything's specific.
• 5:51
  It's phenomenal. I'm a little more loose right
• 5:54
  like I'd run temperature and I do that but I'm a little more
• 5:57
  loosey-goosey. I like to go with the feel of
• 6:00
  the meet you know like what's the meat talking to me?
• 6:02
  You know, I mean like the mine's not a science driven but he did
• 6:06
  introduce me to this company. Snake River Farms and he brought
• 6:09
  that tripe it to up in and cooked it one night and it was
• 6:12
  phenomenal. So I text him.
• 6:14
  I like mean, what's the name of that company that you got?
• 6:17
  You tell me about that. You get that tri-tips in in and
• 6:20
  he told me snake me. Every farm.
• 6:21
  So I went on the website. Saturday night been a fine fun
• 6:26
  day down in Santa. Rosa Beach Florida.
• 6:28
  You know, like I'd seen some music that day and they got
• 6:31
  actually I think was when I saw Sam Bush, I just come off Sam,
• 6:35
  Bush set in with drag Clampett and unbelievable show.
• 6:39
  I was so I was just feeling magical, yeah, at home and
• 6:42
  wanted to order that tri-tip. So I went to order it and then
• 6:45
  it was like, it wasn't right, it was like 90 bucks, okay?
• 6:49
  All right, I'm still going to do it because I It was unbelievable
• 6:54
  and it was like order $140 and get our 50 or whatever it was it
• 7:01
  was locking get $40 off and I was like so if I guess he got to
• 7:06
  get to try tip you know? And I'm not here gonna do with
• 7:08
  the other one and dude, first thing that popped in my brain
• 7:12
  was your face, you know, and it was like, hey, was Brantley just
• 7:16
  sitting there. I was like, I won't send one the
• 7:19
  Brantley I was like he has I bet you can't designate the delivery
• 7:24
  and it was like, first address second address and I was like,
• 7:27
  holy shit. These guys know exactly what I'm
• 7:29
  thinking and I like the first time somebody's done this, it
• 7:33
  was so easy. It wasn't complicated.
• 7:35
  It was just, it was right there first address second and they
• 7:38
  knew you were sending that place that thing to different
• 7:41
  addresses. Like oh, you're in some extra
• 7:43
  meat for somebody, aren't you? And I'm like, absolutely, I am.
• 7:46
  It was great. They got tracking numbers on
• 7:48
  both and meat was Also, there's my thought process when I gave,
• 7:53
  you know, if I wanted to give a loving, you the first person I
• 7:56
  wanted to give it to like you're the first person that popped in
• 7:59
  my brain so but not that's how I arrived at that, you know.
• 8:02
  So what's so awesome about that is that it's a brilliant move
• 8:06
  for Snake River Farms because you know, out if there's if
• 8:11
  you're splitting an order, somebody is one of one of that
• 8:16
  order, one of the orders that splits going to most likely be a
• 8:20
  gift back. Gift is going to go to somebody
• 8:22
  and they're going to be so damn impressed when they open that
• 8:25
  box and you take the lid off and it's packed in dry ice and that
• 8:31
  dry ice just starts to smoke. It's almost like their lights
• 8:35
  underneath and the thing starts to beam up and then you take it
• 8:39
  out and it's just this most glorious hard Frozen.
• 8:43
  I mean, rock-hard Frozen still piece of beef and they want you
• 8:50
  to Only thought out naturally, let it put it in the
• 8:54
  refrigerator. Give it 24 hours.
• 8:57
  Let it thaw out before, you know, you cook it or do
• 9:01
  anything, like, you almost. Don't even want to take it out
• 9:04
  of the package. The quality for that, big of a
• 9:07
  piece of meat for seventy eighty ninety dollars.
• 9:12
  That's really, not that bad of a price is $30.
• 9:15
  A piece of fed, the whole family.
• 9:17
  We all three of us ate on that date.
• 9:19
  Half of it, one night. Hi.
• 9:21
  And then I vacuum sealed. It dropped it back in the suvi,
• 9:26
  the next night and reheated, it and it was just tasted just like
• 9:30
  you did the night before. And, and also made some amazing
• 9:35
  twice, base twice, baked potatoes, to go with it.
• 9:39
  And some bacon wrapped asparagus, just just to top it
• 9:42
  all off. It was a fantastic.
• 9:45
  Fantastic meal. Oh, it was so good.
• 9:48
  So good. So Yeah I mean so yeah you know
• 9:52
  my listening you got it. Yeah fishing tailgating with LSU
• 9:58
  football and you know and and and bring it in with some damn
• 10:02
  food you know? Yeah I mean that I think that
• 10:06
  sums it up pretty well that's that's who I am concerts love to
• 10:11
  go to concerts of hundred percent music.
• 10:13
  That's I mean that's up there it was definitely bigger up times.
• 10:21
  Outside of the obvious when we meet you.
• 10:23
  I mean that's good, that's a good boy.
• 10:25
  Actually, I want to back up. What's that fishing rig?
• 10:28
  You showed me that time, when the weights on the bottom, the
• 10:30
  worms up top. What's that rig?
• 10:33
  You call is a Texas Rig or that, that's a, you're probably
• 10:37
  thinking where I had a weight and then she saw a video on
• 10:41
  YouTube and it's like a it's like a fishing show you did, I
• 10:45
  found it one time and there's Brantley Salter giving us
• 10:49
  lessons on fishing and R talking about that rig.
• 10:51
  That you came? Yeah, yeah.
• 10:53
  I don't even remember where I film that, that was back at,
• 10:56
  definitely back in my fishing days and before YouTube, I think
• 11:00
  that was actually done on them like a fishing show, that was
• 11:04
  done on Cox Sports. And here in Louisiana, I used to
• 11:08
  be on the show's Called Paradise, Louisiana, and you're
• 11:11
  exactly right. I did do a thing on it, that's
• 11:14
  called a Carolina rig, so, with the Carolina, that's it.
• 11:18
  Yeah, with a Carolina rig, you have a Wait.
• 11:21
  And then you have a swivel and a weight and a bead and a swivel
• 11:26
  and then you have a leader and then you have a hook.
• 11:29
  Now then that the hook the bait drags kind of behind it a little
• 11:36
  bit. But it what it does is it just
• 11:38
  makes it it. Whatever that were more,
• 11:40
  whatever it just gives it a natural kind of look.
• 11:45
  And yeah, I smoke them on that. Still catch him on that.
• 11:48
  It's one of the most underrated. Things that there is.
• 11:53
  And I learned that from a really, really good friend of
• 11:56
  mine named K Matthews. He taught me how to fish a
• 12:01
  Carolina rig and I've had other friends Chuck, Barden Bradley.
• 12:07
  Mar other people that really taught me how to fish a lot of
• 12:12
  other ways and things like that but K Matthews really?
• 12:15
  Really, he's that was his thing. And he taught me how to fish
• 12:19
  that he passed Weigh a little over a year ago and his good
• 12:24
  fishing buddy of mine and it sucks don't get to fish with him
• 12:29
  anymore. But that's that's what that rig
• 12:32
  was and mean that's what that was one of my specialties, I
• 12:35
  guess, you could stay out. Still still say that it is, but
• 12:39
  then they also have a thing called it's called a drop shot.
• 12:43
  So the weight is on the bottom of the line on the bottom.
• 12:46
  And then there's a hook up above and then you put like a great
• 12:50
  worm on that hook. That's up here and it and you
• 12:54
  just kind of Shake Your Rod in it.
• 12:55
  It goes down vertically. And you shake it and fish.
• 13:00
  Eat it up it. Yeah.
• 13:01
  It's it's crazy. I'm not that thing.
• 13:04
  Exactly. Exactly like that and other
• 13:07
  people have a lot of people fish it.
• 13:11
  I don't fish it as much as others because I just catch them
• 13:15
  on the Carolina rig so whatever. But yeah, that's I've used that
• 13:20
  same Rig in the bay. So you told me all about, yeah,
• 13:24
  reg. I could remember the name.
• 13:27
  I knew it was a state, but but I knew the rig and, dude, same
• 13:32
  thing with live shrimp shrimp. Oh my God, it's just the way to
• 13:36
  go, dude. Yeah, it's like I've set there
• 13:38
  and places fishing off, especially do some pile and
• 13:41
  fishing and stuff when I'm dropping, and people are sitting
• 13:44
  two pylons away. And they just sitting there and
• 13:47
  we're just just absolutely wearing them out and they're
• 13:50
  kind of looking at At us, you know they're like tight lining
• 13:52
  or do whatever they're doing, you know, and I'm like I'm not
• 13:54
  some expert fisherman. I watch Brantly salt, your own
• 13:58
  video on YouTube or whatever. The heck it was, you know, one
• 14:02
  of those video outlets at the time and yeah, yeah, that's a
• 14:07
  good one and it works for that. It definitely works for that.
• 14:10
  You can use live shrimp, you can use fake shrimp, I've used that
• 14:14
  fishing and saltwater. I mean, it works and salt and
• 14:17
  freshwater. They don't really call it a
• 14:19
  Carolina rig and Saltwater. But but it is, it's what it is.
• 14:23
  And you know, granted you're using different size line.
• 14:27
  Whenever you're fishing in salt water because bigger fish than
• 14:30
  you fishing for and no fresh water and sharper teeth.
• 14:35
  They all have teeth, you know, not something you have to deal
• 14:40
  with, for the most part with it with fresh water fish, unless
• 14:44
  you're messing with Gar. So Brantley, let me ask you a
• 14:47
  question. Let's, let's get down to brass
• 14:49
  tacks here. So here's the things that most
• 14:51
  people know about you, right? I mean yeah if they don't they
• 14:56
  do now. I mean fishing tailgating food
• 14:59
  gets a little known fact about Brantley Salter.
• 15:02
  I mean like something that maybe I don't even know you know I
• 15:05
  mean like just something like here's an interesting fact.
• 15:09
  You know what you got. I'm kind of putting on the spot.
• 15:12
  I know I didn't prep you for this for me.
• 15:14
  Lifetime member bassguitar115 stir magazine.
• 15:20
  You get, you get a few worms subscribers, you get that
• 15:25
  lifetime thing. And the most important, two
• 15:28
  things, the two most badass things you get for being a
• 15:32
  lifetime member bassguitar115 will the same way.
• 15:38
  You get a damn belt buckle. I mean, that thing is like that.
• 15:43
  It's Tricky. You know, have your belt buckle
• 15:45
  of course, I do. You can't say that we're not
• 15:47
  wearing it. I swear, I think I thinking
• 15:50
  Future episode that thing should be popping while disagree.
• 15:55
  What does he, why wouldn't it be?
• 16:01
  It says be a SS on it, the beautiful logo, The Shield,
• 16:07
  everything. It's it's probably, I could,
• 16:10
  yeah, it definitely needs a little tarnishing shine that bad
• 16:13
  boy up. And I'm going to be put here, I
• 16:15
  think. And then, of course, the other
• 16:17
  thing, the trucker hat, the old school, All trucker hat that's
• 16:21
  in that royal blue but it has that but it has that gold band
• 16:27
  around it. You know what I mean?
• 16:29
  You know I mean that old officer found that damn Kent model.
• 16:33
  Absolutely.
