  meetings
• 0:40
  scheduled
• 0:40
  up
• 0:41

  Virginia
• 0:41
  and
• 0:41
  actually
• 0:42
  canceled
• 0:42
  them
• 0:42
  because
• 0:42
  I
• 0:43
  wasn't
• 0:43
  sure
• 0:43
  if
• 0:44
  I
• 0:44
  drove
• 0:44
  up
• 0:44
  there
• 0:44
  yesterday
• 0:45
  if
• 0:45
  I'd
• 0:45
  be
• 0:45
  able
• 0:45
  to
• 0:45
  get
• 0:45
  to
• 0:45

• 0:46
  and
• 0:46
  get
• 0:46
  home

  today.
• 0:47
  So,
• 0:47
  yeah,
• 0:48
  it's
• 0:48
  interesting.
• 0:48
  It's
• 0:48
  going
• 0:48
  to
• 0:48
  be.
• 0:49
  We
• 0:49
  got

  a
• 0:49
  kind
• 0:49

• 0:49
  a
• 0:50

• 0:50
  kind
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  nasty
• 0:51
  weather,

  some
• 1:00
  friends

  kind
• 1:05
  of
• 1:06
  surprised.
• 1:06
  This
• 1:06
  road
• 1:06
  looked
• 1:07
  pretty
• 1:07
  dicey
• 1:08
  coming

• 1:11
  country
• 1:11
  up
• 1:11
  there.
• 1:12
  That
• 1:13
  looked
• 1:13
  like
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  pretty
• 1:13
  challenging
• 1:14
  endeavor,
• 1:15
  I'll
• 1:16
  tell
• 1:16
  you.
• 1:16
  It's
• 1:16
  been
• 1:16
  nice
• 1:16
  down

  here,
• 1:17
  though,
• 1:17
  this
• 1:17
  time
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  year.
• 1:18
  I
• 1:19
  can
• 1:19
  see
• 1:19
  how
• 1:19
  this
• 1:19
  would
• 1:19
  grow
• 1:20
  on
• 1:20
  people.
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  mean,
• 1:20
  it's
• 1:21
  like
• 1:21
  80
• 1:21
  degrees
• 1:21
  every
• 1:22
  day.
• 1:23
  It
• 1:23
  hasn't
• 1:23
  bugged.
• 1:24
  I
• 1:24
  mean,
• 1:24
  it's
• 1:24
  that
• 1:25
  temperature
• 1:25
  in
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  morning
• 1:26
  that's
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  high
• 1:27
  for
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  afternoon.
• 1:27
  It
• 1:27
  stays
• 1:28
  about
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  same
• 1:28
  all
• 1:29
  day
• 1:29
  long.
• 1:30
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  And
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  margaritas
• 1:31
  don't
• 1:32
  hurt
• 1:32
  either,
• 1:32
  right?
• 1:34
  No,
• 1:34
  lots
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  that.
• 1:35
  Lots
• 1:35
  of.
• 1:36
  They
• 1:36
  have
• 1:36
  a
• 1:36
  lot
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  good,
• 1:38
  good
• 1:39
  agave
• 1:40
  juice
• 1:41
  down
• 1:41
  here.
• 1:41
  So,
• 1:42
  yeah,
• 1:43
  that's
• 1:43
  about
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  best
• 1:44
  value
• 1:44
  down
• 1:45
  here,
• 1:45
  really,
• 1:46
  that
• 1:46
  we've
• 1:46
  seen.
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:47
  And
• 1:48
  so
• 1:48
  we
• 1:48
  were,
• 1:49
  we
• 1:49
  were
• 1:49
  talking
• 1:49
  before
• 1:49
  we
• 1:49
  started
• 1:50
  recording
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  since
• 1:50
  it's,
• 1:51
  you
• 1:51
  know,
• 1:51
  we've
• 1:51
  been
• 1:51
  kind
• 1:52
  of
• 1:52
  talking
• 1:52
  about
• 1:52
  improvement
• 1:53
  in
• 1:53
  plans
• 1:54
  and
• 1:54
  it
• 1:54
  is
• 1:54
  2025
• 1:55
  and
• 1:55
  people
• 1:55
  like
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  make
• 1:56
  resolutions,
• 1:57
  we
• 1:57
  thought
• 1:57
  it
• 1:57
  might
• 1:57
  be
• 1:57
  a
• 1:57
  good
• 1:58
  idea
• 1:58
  to
• 1:58
  kind
• 1:58
  of
• 1:59
  talk
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  folks
• 2:00
  about,
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  know,
• 2:01
  thinking
• 2:01
  about
• 2:02
  improving
• 2:02
  their,
• 2:03
  their
• 2:03
  fly
• 2:03
  fishing
• 2:03
  and
• 2:04
  fly
• 2:04
  tying
• 2:04
  skills
• 2:04
  in
• 2:05
  2025
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  kind
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  how
• 2:06
  to
• 2:06
  do
• 2:06
  that
• 2:06
  and
• 2:07
  what
• 2:07
  to
• 2:07
  do.
• 2:09
  Yeah,
• 2:10
  I
• 2:10
  think
• 2:10
  that'd
• 2:10
  be
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  good
• 2:11
  topic
• 2:11
  just
• 2:11
  about,
• 2:13
  you
• 2:13
  know,
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  lot
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  times
• 2:14
  you
• 2:14
  hear,
• 2:14
  you'll
• 2:14
  hear
• 2:15
  folks,
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  get
• 2:15
  that
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  lot
• 2:16
  on
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  road
• 2:16
  where
• 2:16
  people
• 2:17
  will
• 2:17
  talk
• 2:17
  about
• 2:17
  if
• 2:17
  I
• 2:18
  had
• 2:18
  this
• 2:18
  rod
• 2:18
  or
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  New
• 2:19
  reel
• 2:19
  or
• 2:19
  that
• 2:20
  new.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:21
  I'm
• 2:21
  like,
• 2:21
  well,
• 2:21
  when's
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  last
• 2:22
  time
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  invested
• 2:22
  in
• 2:22
  yourself
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  did
• 2:24
  something
• 2:24
  for
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  betterment
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  it,
• 2:25
  you
• 2:25
  know,
• 2:26
  not
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  free
• 2:26
  parking
• 2:27
  lot
• 2:27
  lesson
• 2:28
  either,
• 2:28
  I
• 2:28
  mean,
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  like,
• 2:29
  never.
• 2:29
  And
• 2:29
  I'm
• 2:29
  like,
• 2:30
  well,
• 2:30
  why
• 2:30
  don't
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  put
• 2:30
  some
• 2:30
  money
• 2:30
  in
• 2:31
  that?
• 2:32
  And
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  really
• 2:33
  think
• 2:33
  that
• 2:33
  that's
• 2:34
  probably
• 2:34
  with
• 2:34
  some
• 2:34
  of
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  best
• 2:35
  money
• 2:35
  they
• 2:35
  could
• 2:37
  put
• 2:37
  in
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  invest,
• 2:38
  you
• 2:38
  know,
• 2:38
  in
• 2:38
  themselves
• 2:39
  for
• 2:39
  decision
• 2:40
  making
• 2:41
  models
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  develop
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  process
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  develop
• 2:44
  some
• 2:44
  efficiency
• 2:44
  in
• 2:45
  their
• 2:45
  game.
• 2:45
  And
• 2:45
  it's
• 2:46
  like
• 2:46
  whether
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  be
• 2:46
  casting
• 2:47
  or
• 2:47
  just
• 2:47
  on
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  water
• 2:48
  type,
• 2:49
  you
• 2:49
  know,
• 2:50
  decisions,
• 2:50
  it's
• 2:50
  just
• 2:51
  all
• 2:51
  that
• 2:51
  stuff
• 2:51
  is
• 2:51
  what
• 2:52
  really
• 2:52
  leads
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  improvement.
• 2:54
  I
• 2:55
  just
• 2:55
  think
• 2:55
  that
• 2:56
  sometimes
• 2:57
  it
• 2:57
  feels
• 2:57
  like
• 2:57
  it's
• 2:58
  trying
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  sell
• 2:58
  somebody
• 2:59
  something
• 2:59
  that
• 2:59
  they
• 2:59
  don't
• 2:59
  really
• 3:00
  need,
• 3:00
  you
• 3:00
  know,
• 3:00
  and
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  think
• 3:01
  a
• 3:01
  lot
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  people
• 3:01
  need
• 3:01
  it
• 3:02
  and
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  think
• 3:03
  that
• 3:03
  would
• 3:03
  benefit
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  lot
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  people,
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  know,
• 3:06
  not
• 3:06
  just
• 3:06
  because
• 3:06
  I
• 3:07
  teach
• 3:07
  either,
• 3:07
  Marvin.
• 3:08
  You
• 3:08
  know,
• 3:08
  I'm
• 3:08
  not
• 3:08
  trying
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  sell
• 3:09
  anybody
• 3:09
  anything.
• 3:10
  But
• 3:11
  as
• 3:11
  a
• 3:11
  teacher.
• 3:12
  Yeah.
• 3:12
  It's
• 3:12
  hard
• 3:12
  not
• 3:12
  to
• 3:13
  say
• 3:13
  that,
• 3:13
  you
• 3:13
  know.
• 3:15
  Yeah.
• 3:15
  It's
• 3:15
  interesting,
• 3:16
  right?
• 3:16
  I
• 3:16
  mean,
• 3:16
  I
• 3:16
  would
• 3:16
  say
• 3:16
  we
• 3:17
  can
• 3:17
  talk
• 3:17
  about
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  how
• 3:17
  in
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  minute.
• 3:18
  But
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  think,
• 3:18
  you
• 3:18
  know,
• 3:19
  on
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  front
• 3:19
  end,
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  know,
• 3:19
  I
• 3:20
  think
• 3:20
  it's,
• 3:20
  you
• 3:20
  know,
• 3:20
  you
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  I
• 3:21
  talk
• 3:21
  about
• 3:21
  this
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  lot,
• 3:21
  that
• 3:22
  it's
• 3:22
  really
• 3:22
  important
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  set
• 3:24
  some
• 3:25
  measurable
• 3:25
  goals,
• 3:26
  right.
• 3:26
  Like,
• 3:26
  you
• 3:26
  know,
• 3:27
  if
• 3:27
  there's
• 3:27
  something
• 3:28
  that
• 3:28
  you,
• 3:28
  you
• 3:28
  know,
• 3:28
  don't
• 3:29
  try
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  improve
• 3:29
  on
• 3:30
  everything
• 3:30
  in
• 3:30
  one
• 3:30
  fishing
• 3:31
  season
• 3:31
  because
• 3:31
  you'll
• 3:32
  improve
• 3:32
  probably
• 3:32
  at
• 3:33
  none
• 3:33
  of
• 3:33
  it.
• 3:34
  You
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  would.
• 3:35
  That's
• 3:35
  right.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  would
• 3:35
  just
• 3:36
  encourage
• 3:36
  people
• 3:36
  to
• 3:37
  pick,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  know,
• 3:37
  one
• 3:37
  or
• 3:37
  two
• 3:38
  things
• 3:38
  that
• 3:38
  they
• 3:38
  want
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  get
• 3:39
  better
• 3:39
  at
• 3:40
  and,
• 3:41
  you
• 3:41
  know,
• 3:41
  and
• 3:42
  don't
• 3:42
  make
• 3:42
  it
• 3:42
  general.
• 3:43
  Like,
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  want
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  be
• 3:43
  a
• 3:43
  better
• 3:44
  caster.
• 3:44
  Like,
• 3:44
  say
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  want
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  be
• 3:45
  able
• 3:45
  to,
• 3:46
  you
• 3:46
  know,
• 3:47
  consistently
• 3:47
  cast
• 3:48
  at
• 3:48
  75ft
• 3:49
  accurately,
• 3:49
  or
• 3:50
  I
• 3:50
  want
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  be
• 3:50
  able
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  learn
• 3:50
  how
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  throw
• 3:51
  positive
• 3:51
  and
• 3:52
  negative
• 3:52
  curve
• 3:52
  casts
• 3:54
  or.
• 3:55
  Or
• 3:55
  whatever
• 3:55
  it
• 3:55
  is,
• 3:55
  or
• 3:56
  even
• 3:56
  here.
• 3:56
  Look.
• 3:57
  Look
• 3:57
  at
• 3:57
  all
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  lodges
• 3:58
  down
• 3:58
  here.
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  mean,
• 3:58
  there's
• 3:59
  tons
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  them
• 3:59
  from
• 4:00
  down
• 4:00
  below
• 4:01
  Ascension
• 4:01
  Bay
• 4:02
  up
• 4:03
  to
• 4:04
  Isla
• 4:04
  Mahera,
• 4:05
  which
• 4:06
  is
• 4:06
  just.
• 4:06
  That's
• 4:06
  where
• 4:06
  we
• 4:07
  went
• 4:07
  yesterday
• 4:07
  with
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  kids.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  mean,
• 4:09
  every
• 4:09
  day
• 4:09
  for
• 4:10
  seven
• 4:10
  days
• 4:10
  we've
• 4:10
  been
• 4:11
  here,
• 4:11
  the
• 4:12
  wind
• 4:12
  has
• 4:12
  been
• 4:12
  around
• 4:13
  35
• 4:13
  knots
• 4:13
  constant.
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  mean,
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  haven't
• 4:15
  seen
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  calm
• 4:17
  day.
• 4:17
  There's
• 4:17
  tons
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  coconut
• 4:18
  trees
• 4:18
  and
• 4:19
  stuff
• 4:19
  all
• 4:19
  around
• 4:19
  us.
• 4:19
  And
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  can
• 4:20
  just
• 4:20
  see
• 4:20
  the
• 4:21
  trees
• 4:21
  moving
• 4:22
  all
• 4:22
  day
• 4:22
  long
• 4:22
  from
• 4:22
  morning
• 4:23
  till
• 4:23
  evening.
• 4:23
  And
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  mean,
• 4:25
  just
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  thought
• 4:25
  about
• 4:26
  what
• 4:26
  those
• 4:26
  lodges
• 4:27
  are
• 4:27
  for
• 4:27
  a
• 4:27
  week,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  know,
• 4:28
  for
• 4:28
  somebody
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  drop
• 4:29
  seven,
• 4:30
  eight
• 4:30
  grand
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  realize
• 4:31
  they
• 4:31
  can't
• 4:31
  cast
• 4:31
  in
• 4:32
  35
• 4:32
  knot
• 4:32
  wind
• 4:32
  is
• 4:33
  really
• 4:33
  kind
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  sad.
• 4:34
  So
• 4:34
  that's
• 4:35
  probably
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  most
• 4:35
  common
• 4:36
  thing
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  hear
• 4:37
  on
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  road.
• 4:38
  It
• 4:38
  shows
• 4:38
  like
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  went
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  Mexico
• 4:39
  and
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  realized
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  couldn't
• 4:40
  cast.
• 4:41
  I'm
• 4:41
  like,
• 4:41
  well
• 4:41
  why
• 4:42
  did
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  go
• 4:42
  spend
• 4:42
  all
• 4:42
  that
• 4:43
  money
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  realize
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  couldn't
• 4:44
  cast?
• 4:44
  You
• 4:44
  could
• 4:44
  grab
• 4:44
  your
• 4:44
  rod
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  go
• 4:45
  out
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  cast
• 4:45
  it
• 4:46
  home
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  a
• 4:46
  35
• 4:46
  knot
• 4:47
  wind
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  find
• 4:47
  out.
• 4:48
  But.
• 4:50
  So
• 4:50
  I
• 4:50
  really
• 4:50
  do
• 4:50
  think
• 4:51
  it's
• 4:51
  like
• 4:53
  it
• 4:53
  would
• 4:54
  be
• 4:54
  a
• 4:54
  beneficial
• 4:55
  thing
• 4:55
  to
• 4:56
  learn
• 4:56
  some
• 4:57
  50
• 4:57
  foot
• 4:58
  accuracy
• 4:59
  typecast
• 5:00
  in
• 5:01
  wind
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  be
• 5:01
  able
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  hit
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  target
• 5:02
  if
• 5:02
  you're
• 5:02
  thinking
• 5:03
  about
• 5:03
  doing
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  kind
• 5:04
  of
• 5:04
  a
• 5:04
  trip.
• 5:04
  Because
• 5:05
  otherwise
• 5:06
  it's
• 5:06
  not
• 5:06
  in
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  game,
• 5:07
  you
• 5:07
  know,
• 5:07
  and
• 5:08
  if
• 5:08
  it's
• 5:08
  not
• 5:08
  in
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  game,
• 5:09
  then
• 5:09
  you're
• 5:09
  back
• 5:10
  sampling
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  agave
• 5:11
  instead
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  doing
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  fishing.
• 5:12
  Yeah.
• 5:13
  Which
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  know,
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  can
• 5:13
  buy
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  lot
• 5:14
  of
• 5:15
  agave
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  seven
• 5:16
  grand.
• 5:17
  Yeah,
• 5:18
  you
• 5:18
  could
• 5:18
  stay
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  Texas
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  do
• 5:19
  that
• 5:20
  or
• 5:21
  wherever,
• 5:22
  North
• 5:22
  Carolina
• 5:23
  or
• 5:23
  whatever.
• 5:23
  But
• 5:24
  yeah,
• 5:25
  no,
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  just,
• 5:25
  I
• 5:26
  just
• 5:26
  think
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  that's
• 5:26
  a
• 5:27
  common.
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  just
• 5:29
  know
• 5:29
  from
• 5:29
  doing
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  show
• 5:30
  since
• 5:30
  back
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  early
• 5:31
  90s,
• 5:31
  that's
• 5:32
  one
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  most
• 5:33
  common
• 5:33
  questions
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  people
• 5:34
  will
• 5:35
  come
• 5:35
  up
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  ask.
• 5:35
  Well,
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  went
• 5:36
  to
• 5:36
  this
• 5:36
  trip
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  sometimes
• 5:37
  it's
• 5:37
  some
• 5:38
  far
• 5:38
  away
• 5:39
  exotic
• 5:39
  place
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  lot
• 5:40
  further
• 5:41
  than
• 5:41
  Mexico.
• 5:41
  You
• 5:42
  know,
• 5:42
  then
• 5:42
  they
• 5:42
  say,
• 5:42
  well
• 5:43
  that's
• 5:43
  when
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  realized
• 5:43
  I
• 5:44
  can't
• 5:44
  even
• 5:44
  throw
• 5:44
  distance
• 5:45
  if
• 5:45
  it's
• 5:45
  windy.
• 5:45
  And
• 5:46
  I
• 5:47
  don't
• 5:47
  know,
• 5:47
  it'd
• 5:48
  be
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  good
• 5:48
  thing
• 5:49
  because
• 5:49
  it
• 5:49
  is
• 5:50
  like
• 5:50
  investing
• 5:50
  in
• 5:51
  something
• 5:52
  that's
• 5:52
  going
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  help
• 5:52
  make
• 5:52
  you
• 5:53
  more
• 5:53
  efficient
• 5:54
  and
• 5:55
  have
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  better
• 5:55
  decision
• 5:56
  making
• 5:56
  model
• 5:56
  to
• 5:57
  where
• 5:57
  you're
• 5:57
  getting
• 5:57
  independence
• 5:59
  and
• 5:59
  freedom
• 6:00
  from
• 6:00
  having
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  be
• 6:00
  told
• 6:01
  what
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  do
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  when
• 6:01
  to
• 6:02
  do
• 6:02
  it,
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  where
• 6:03
  you
• 6:03
  know
• 6:03
  when
• 6:03
  to
• 6:03
  do
• 6:03
  it
• 6:04
  is
• 6:04
  two
• 6:05
  very
• 6:05
  different
• 6:05
  things.
• 6:06
  That's
• 6:07
  why
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  think
• 6:07
  it's
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  smart,
• 6:08
  smart
• 6:08
  decision
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  anybody.
• 6:10
  Yeah.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:11
  I
• 6:11
  think
• 6:11
  too,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  know,
• 6:12
  part
• 6:12
  of,
• 6:12
  part
• 6:12
  and
• 6:12
  parcel
• 6:12
  of
• 6:13
  that
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  kind
• 6:13
  of
• 6:13
  being
• 6:13
  honest
• 6:13
  with
• 6:14
  yourself.
• 6:14
  Right.
• 6:14
  About
• 6:15
  what
• 6:15
  you
• 6:15
  actually
• 6:15
  really
• 6:15
  can
• 6:16
  do.
• 6:16
  Right.
• 6:18
  That's
• 6:18
  right.
• 6:19
  You
• 6:19
  know,
• 6:19
  so
• 6:19
  once
• 6:19
  you
• 6:20
  kind
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  do
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  you
• 6:20
  have
• 6:20
  the
• 6:21
  goals,
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  know,
• 6:22
  early
• 6:23
  every
• 6:23
  year.
• 6:23
  Right.
• 6:23
  Everybody
• 6:24
  knows,
• 6:24
  right.
• 6:24
  We've
• 6:25
  got
• 6:25
  lots
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  fly
• 6:25
  fishing
• 6:26
  shows,
• 6:26
  We've
• 6:26
  got
• 6:26
  the
• 6:27
  fly
• 6:27
  fishing
• 6:27
  show,
• 6:28
  we've
• 6:28
  got
• 6:28
  lots
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  regional
• 6:29
  shows.
• 6:29
  And
• 6:30
  what
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  would
• 6:31
  suggest
• 6:31
  is
• 6:32

• 6:33
  are
• 6:33
  plenty
• 6:33
  of
• 6:33

• 6:33
  there,
• 6:34
  plenty
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35

• 6:36
  there
• 6:36

• 6:37
  like
• 6:38

  and
• 6:38
  Gary

  great
• 6:40

• 6:45
  But
• 6:45
  then
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  other
• 6:46
  thing
• 6:46
  too
• 6:46
  to

  in
• 6:55
  January
• 6:56
  2025.
• 6:59
  No,
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  think
• 6:59
  that's.
• 7:00
  I
• 7:00
  think
• 7:00
  that's
• 7:00
  smart.
• 7:01
  And
• 7:01
  yeah,
• 7:01
  there's
• 7:01
  a
• 7:01
  lot
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  those
• 7:02
  coming
• 7:02
  up
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  hopefully
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  lot
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  them
• 7:04
  are
• 7:04
  going
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  sell
• 7:05
  out
• 7:05
  because
• 7:06
  it's
• 7:06
  no
• 7:06
  doubt
• 7:07
  it's.
• 7:08
  It's
• 7:08
  been
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  sluggish
• 7:09
  fall
• 7:09
  in
• 7:10
  North
• 7:10
  Carolina
• 7:10
  with
• 7:10
  the
• 7:11
  storm,
• 7:12
  you
• 7:12
  know
• 7:12
  what
• 7:12
  I
• 7:12
  mean?
• 7:12
  So
• 7:13
  I'm
• 7:13
  hoping
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  lot
• 7:14
  of
• 7:15
  them
• 7:15
  going
• 7:15
  to
• 7:15
  really
• 7:16
  be
• 7:17
  big
• 7:17
  again
• 7:17
  this
• 7:18
  year,
• 7:18
  Marvin,
• 7:19
  because
• 7:19
  it's
• 7:19
  been
• 7:19
  even.
• 7:20
  Even
• 7:20
  if
• 7:20
  it
• 7:20
  wasn't
• 7:21
  for
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  storm,
• 7:21
  it
• 7:21
  was
• 7:21
  really
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  weird
• 7:22
  summer
• 7:22
  before
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  storm.
• 7:23
  Even.
• 7:24
  So
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  storm
• 7:25
  just
• 7:25
  made
• 7:25
  it
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  lot
• 7:25
  worse
• 7:26
  for
• 7:26
  where
• 7:26
  we
• 7:26
  live,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  know.
• 7:27
  Yeah.
• 7:28
  But
• 7:28
  hopefully,
• 7:29
  hopefully
• 7:29
  it's
• 7:29
  coming
• 7:30
  back,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  know.
• 7:31
  Yeah.
• 7:31
  And
• 7:31
  so,
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  know,
• 7:31
  I
• 7:32
  know
• 7:32
  you're
• 7:32
  literally,
• 7:32
  you're
• 7:33
  going
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  get
• 7:33
  home
• 7:33
  and
• 7:34
  be
• 7:34
  home
• 7:34
  for
• 7:34
  about
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  week
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  then
• 7:35
  you
• 7:35
  head
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  Marlboro.
• 7:36
  But
• 7:36
  why
• 7:36
  don't
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  let
• 7:36
  folks
• 7:37
  know
• 7:37
  if
• 7:37
  they
• 7:38
  want
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  do
• 7:38
  casting
• 7:39
  stuff
• 7:39
  in
• 7:39
  2025
• 7:40
  where
• 7:40
  they
• 7:40
  can
• 7:40
  find
• 7:40
  you
• 7:41
  on
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  show
• 7:41
  circuit?
• 7:44
  Okay.
• 7:44
  We'll
• 7:44
  start
• 7:44
  off
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  Marlboro
• 7:47
  when
• 7:47
  we
• 7:47
  get
• 7:48
  back.
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  think
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  15th,
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  then
• 7:51
  Edison,
• 7:51
  then
• 7:53
  do
• 7:54
  the.
• 7:54
  The
• 7:55
  west
• 7:55
  coast,
• 7:55
  all
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  west
• 7:55
  coast
• 7:56
  shows.
• 7:56
  And
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  think
• 7:57
  I'm
• 7:57
  gonna
• 7:57
  go
• 7:58
  ahead
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  do
• 7:58
  Lancaster.
• 7:59
  That's
• 7:59
  what
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  was
• 7:59
  talking
• 7:59
  to
• 7:59
  Ben
• 8:00
  about
• 8:00
  today.
• 8:00
  I
• 8:01
  had
• 8:01
  an
• 8:01
  opening
• 8:02
  of
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  school
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  got
• 8:03
  freed
• 8:03
  up,
• 8:03
  so
• 8:03
  I
• 8:04
  think
• 8:04
  I'm
• 8:04
  going
• 8:04
  to
• 8:04
  go
• 8:04
  to
• 8:04
  Lancaster
• 8:05
  first
• 8:06
  as
• 8:06
  well
• 8:06
  before
• 8:06
  we
• 8:07
  do
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  show
• 8:07
  up
• 8:07
  there
• 8:07
  at
• 8:07
  the
• 8:08
  Midwest.
• 8:10
  What
• 8:10
  is
• 8:11
  it?
• 8:11
  The
• 8:11
  Great
• 8:11
  Waters
• 8:11
  Fly
• 8:12
  Fishing
• 8:12
  Expo
• 8:13
  up
• 8:13
  there
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  Twin
• 8:13
  Cities.
• 8:14
  So
• 8:15
  then
• 8:15
  we
• 8:15
  have
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  ones
• 8:16
  local
• 8:16
  in
• 8:16
  Bryson
• 8:16
  City,
• 8:17

• 8:17
  Marvin,

  and
• 8:19

  Yeah,

  that's.
• 8:41
  That's
• 8:41
  going
• 8:41
  to
• 8:42
  happen.
