This was an extra special time with the legendary Japanese bass hammer, Kenta Kimura, and Bassmaster Opens Pro, Brad Leuthner. As a fisherman and tackle junkie, I've always wanted to pick Kenta's brain. He's been a major influence in the industry, designing tackle, and being a bridge for many techniques we now know today. It's really cool when you get 3 fishing/tackle crackheads in a room together and mix cultures and perspectives. Brad Leuthner is a master chef in the kitchen when it comes to tackle, especially hair jigs. Not only that, he lines this whole podcast up (knowing I'm a huge Kenta & JDM fan!) Thank you Brad & thank you Kenta! Enjoy as we talk everything bass fishing, including JDM vs. US fishing culture, JDM techniques like the Hideup Coike Field Side Dice and more...hair jigs, crawfish, steak, and eating horse. This one was extra juicy. Enjoy!Get your Kenta approved JDM tackle today at Thorne BrosLooking to up your game in a certain area?

Enjoy this week's episode with DJ & Producer ELISA ELISA. After years learning jazz piano Elisa Elisa fell in love with the French electronic music scene in her hometown Lyon and the urge to absorb the Berlin vibes became unbearable! In 2012, she landed in one of Berlin ́s most legendary clubs, Watergate to write her master thesis about House Music. Since then she has been playing worldwide spreading her love and passion for music. "For me, party and music are about the community, sharing and cherishing the moment." Coming herself from the dance floor, she sees those moments as powerful as hypnosis! Now based in Ibiza, Elisa Elisa played worldwide at clubs and festivals such as Panorama Bar, Club Chinois, Night Tales, Harry Klein, Papaya Playa Project, Antik, Cova Santa, Fusion, Delta Festival... Elisa Elisa's latest release is Not Your Good Girl, a proper Tribal track, part of La Santa's new VA CINCO on Redolent.

En esta ocasión nos ha quedado un episodio ausente de actualidad 'eléctrica'. Y es que, las novedades de los últimos días nos han llevado al mountain bike 'convencional', desde el XC con la nueva MMR Kenta de carbono, disponible en versión SL de 110 mm y otra más asequible y polivalente de 120, hasta la endurera Rossignol Heretic de aluminio, probada por nuestro compañero José Crespillo. Pasando por la nueva Canyon Spectral AL en aluminio, todo un referente dentro del trail más cañero, y que llega ahora con una geometría actualizada y montajes muy accesibles. Pero también tenemos tiempo para repasar nuevos componentes, como los pedales y potencias de magnesio presentados por Leatt o la nueva mochila de Evoc. Nos despedimos hablando de nuestra visita al centro logístico y técnico de Decathlon en Sant Esteve Sesrovires (Barcelona), probablemente, el taller más grande de España. Este episodio ha sido posible gracias a la marca alemana Focus, que acaba de lanzar al mercado su nueva e-bike de enduro, la FOCUS SAM2, una bici ideal para los amantes del descenso y sensaciones fuertes. Nosotros ya la hemos probado y hemos comprobado en primera persona que es una bici... ¡Que puede con todo! Monta la última versión del motor BOSCH CX, baterías a elegir de 600 o 800 Wh, un recorrido de 170mm en la parte delantera y 165 mm detrás en formato Mullet para rodar sin límites en los terrenos más exigentes.

But the weather forecast says there might be a storm this afternoon,” Sora replied with a hint of concern.Ja: 彼は都会の喧騒を忘れて、富士山の頂上で心の平和を見つけることを望んでいます。En: He hopes to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find peace of mind at the summit of Mount Fuji.Ja: 「心配しないで、僕たちは一緒にいるから大丈夫さ」と健太が言いました。En: “Don't worry, we'll be fine as long as we're together,” Kenta said.Ja: 彼は空の職場の同僚で、友人との冒険を期待して参加しました。En: He is Sora's colleague from work and joined the adventure looking forward to spending time with friends.Ja: 山を登り始めた三人は順調に進みました。En: The three of them began their ascent up the mountain and progressed smoothly.Ja: さわやかな風が吹き、桜の花びらが舞い散ります。En: A refreshing breeze was blowing, and cherry blossom petals were dancing in the air.Ja: 愛子は笑顔でいっぱいの写真を撮っています。En: Aiko was taking countless pictures with a smile on her face.Ja: 健太は、少し息を切らしながらも楽しそうにしています。En: Kenta, though slightly out of breath, looked like he was having fun.Ja: しかし、午後になると天気が変わり始めました。En: However, in the afternoon, the weather began to change.Ja: 空は暗くなり、風が強くなりました。En: The sky darkened and the wind picked up.Ja: 空は頂上を目指すべきか、安全を優先するべきか悩んでいました。En: Sora was torn between aiming for the summit or prioritizing everyone's safety.Ja: 「どうする？」健太が尋ねました。En: “What should we do?” Kenta asked.Ja: 風はだんだん強さを増しています。En: The wind was gradually becoming stronger.Ja: 「一人で進むことはできるけど...」と空が言いかけました。En: “I could go on alone, but...” Sora started to say.Ja: 「でも、私たち皆が大事だよね」と愛子が静かに言いました。En: “But we all matter, right?” Aiko said quietly.Ja: 空は考えました。En: Sora thought about it.Ja: 友人との絆を大切にするためには、頂上に着くことよりも、今この瞬間を楽しむことが大事だと感じました。En: He realized that cherishing the bond with his friends was more important than reaching the summit, and that enjoying the present moment was what truly mattered.Ja: 「そうだね。みんなで無事に帰ろう」と空が笑顔で決心しました。En: “You're right. Let's make sure we all get back safely,” Sora decided with a smile.Ja: 三人は引き返すことに決めました。En: The three of them decided to turn back.Ja: 山を降りながら、彼らは笑い合い、嵐から逃れることができたことに感謝しました。En: As they descended the mountain, they laughed together and felt grateful for escaping the approaching storm.Ja: 道中で出会った桜の美しさや、仲間との会話は、その日一番の宝物として心に刻まれました。En: The beauty of the cherry blossoms they encountered along the way and the conversations with their friends became the most treasured memories of the day.Ja: 結局、空は気づきました。目指した頂上だけではなく、仲間との旅が真の平和をもたらすことを。En: In the end, Sora realized that not only was the summit he aimed for a source of peace, but so was the journey with his friends.Ja: 目的地そのものが重要なのではなく、旅そのものが大切だと学びました。En: He learned that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey itself that holds true significance.

Aiko said, harboring doubts.Ja: 彼女はノートの重要性を疑っていました。En: She was skeptical about the notebook's significance.Ja: しかし、ケンタはニヤリと笑いました。「冒険の匂いがするな」と言いましたが、その笑みにはなにか隠された企みがあるようでした。En: However, Kenta grinned and said, "It smells like adventure," though there seemed to be some hidden scheme behind that smile.Ja: ハルトはノートをみんなに見せました。En: Haruto showed the notebook to everyone.Ja: 「調べてみる価値はあると思う」と決意を述べました。En: "I think it's worth investigating," he declared determinedly.Ja: みんなで一緒に小屋の中に入ると、テーブルにノートを広げました。En: They all went inside the koya and spread the notebook on the table.Ja: 古びた紙には不思議な印がたくさん描かれていました。En: The worn-out pages were covered with mysterious marks.Ja: まるで謎解きの道しるべのようです。En: It was like a guide to solving a puzzle.Ja: 「これは暗号かもしれない」とハルトは言いました。En: "This might be a code," Haruto said.Ja: 「無駄じゃないの？」とアイコは眉をひそめましたが、好奇心は抑えきれません。En: "Isn't it pointless?" Aiko frowned, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity.Ja: ケンタは不自然に口元を隠していました。En: Kenta was unnaturally hiding his mouth.Ja: 彼は何かを知っているような素振りを見せました。En: He seemed to know something.Ja: ノートのページをめくるたびに、三人はますます引き込まれました。En: With each page they turned, the three became more engrossed.Ja: そしてあるページで、驚くべき発見をしました。En: Then, on one page, they made an astonishing discovery.Ja: それは隠された地図でした。地図は小屋の近くの森を指し示していました。En: It was a hidden map pointing to the forest near the koya.Ja: 「これは冒険の始まりだね」とケンタは興奮しながら言いました。En: "This is the beginning of an adventure," Kenta said excitedly.Ja: みんなで森に行って、地図の指示を辿りました。En: They all went into the forest to follow the directions from the map.Ja: 最後に、大きな古い樹の根元で、もう一冊のノートが見つかりました。En: Finally, at the base of a large, old tree, they found another notebook.Ja: 新しいノートには、新しい謎が詰まっていました。En: The new notebook was filled with new mysteries.Ja: ハルトは自分の直感を信じた結果、単なるノートでは終わらない冒険にたどり着きました。En: By trusting his instincts, Haruto embarked on an adventure that was far more than just a simple notebook.Ja: しかし、その謎を解いたとき、彼らはもっと多くの問いに直面しました。En: However, when they solved that mystery, they were faced with even more questions.Ja: それでも、ハルトはチームで協力することの大切さを学びました。En: Nevertheless, Haruto learned the importance of teamwork.Ja: そして、彼らはそれぞれの思いを抱えながら、次の謎を解く新たな冒険を心待ちにしました。En: And so, each of them, carrying their own thoughts, looked forward to solving the next mystery on a new adventure.Ja: この日、彼らの心には桜の花が咲いたようでした。En: That day, it felt as if sakura blossoms bloomed in their hearts.

Wrestling Tonight is back for Episode 111, covering a major WWE roster shake-up with Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Giovanni Vinci, Sonya Deville, AOP, Blair Davenport, Isla Dawn, Duke Hudson, and Cedric Alexander among those released. Speculation is swirling that these cuts signal a wave of NXT call-ups in 2025, reshaping the WWE landscape.   AEW Grand Slam Australia is set as a two-hour special on February 15, airing after NBA All-Star Saturday. The card features Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada defending the AEW Continental Championship against Buddy Matthews, and Mariah May vs. Toni Storm for the AEW Women's World Title.

Meanwhile, Jordynne Grace and Kevin Owens both signed five-year WWE deals, while AEW released Bear Boulder following his arrest.   Ricky Starks ended KENTA's 615-day reign as DEFY World Champion, and Mercedes Moné announced her return to independent wrestling with a House of Glory appearance on March 15.   The Elimination Chamber field is forming, with Drew McIntyre, Alexa Bliss, Bianca Belair, CM Punk, and Liv Morgan qualifying.
