Kanoa and Billy talk straight from the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex and Hawaii football practice to get you what you need to know about Hawaii football as we near the two week mark from Week 0. Timmy Chang, Brayden Schager and Logan Taylor join the broadcast to talk with the guys about their time in camp.

We open the show with Michael's observations from the first two days of UH football fall camp and hear from lineback Logan Taylor upon his return to the field after suffering a season ending injury last year. Then we talk NFL with former lineman Aaron Kia's experience on being cut by the NY Jets on HBO's Hardknocks, which leads into our convo about Tua Tagovailoa and other NFL players waiting on contract extensions. Immediately following the conclusion of the show, it was reported that Tua and the Dolphins agree to a contract extension.

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 134 team college football season preview series with the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 2024 season preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Patty C (@PattyC831) break down the upcoming Hawaii Rainbow Warriors offense, defense and special teams and key in on just how the Rainbow Warriors will do in 2024. Is this the year that Timmy Chang and the Rainbow Warriors go bowling? What should we expect from Brayden Schager in his senior season on the island?Do we think we will see a bit of Micah Alejado at the QB spot at times in 2024? Why do Hawaii Rainbow Warriors still have that terrible pay per view deal for people on the island to have to pay and watch the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team? Will the Rainbow Warriors receiving core be the best its been in the Chang era with the likes of Jonah Panoke, Steven McBride, Tylan Hines, Pofele Ashlock and Koali Nishigaya? Does returning 3 of 5 on the offensive line mean this will be the best Hawaii offensive line in some years?What should we expect of the hiring of longtime Rex Ryan assistant Dennis Thurman at the Defensive Coordinator spot? Can the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors get better on the defensive line? Is the linebacking core returning one of the better in the Mountain West Conference with the return of Jalen Smith, Logan Taylor. Will this be the best secondary in Chang era with the likes of Elijah Palmer, Cam Stone, Virdel Edwards, Meki Pei, and Peter Manuma? Could Hawaii be a serious contender in the Mountain West in 2024? We talk it all and more on this Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 2024 Season Preview edition of The College Football Experience.

Having it easy" is never a phrase you would use to describe Logan Taylor's childhood. Raised by his grandmother in low-income housing and with an absent father and barely-there mother, Taylor struggled as a child and young adult. Add to these issues sexual abuse, drug addiction, a horrible car wreck, multiple suicide attempts, and crippling anxiety, and it's hard to imagine how he ever made it. And yet, he not only persevered but has also used the memory and pain of these experiences to help other at-risk kids and poverty-stricken families day. Taylor is an author of educational journals for students, an entrepreneur, and a popular speaker who has made it his life's work to help students and teachers maximize their potential."Never accept the life given to you ... If you want to change it, you can actually change it;' he says. Taylor has spoken to thousands upon thousands of people worldwide, inspiring them to be great and find their purpose in life. Through the magic of YouTube, he's motivated even more students and adults, with more than 8 million views of his videos. Taylor is also the founder of Y.B.Normal?, a organization that helps struggling youth in schools and implements curriculum and journal writing that focuses on social-emotional development. In addition, he leads community outreach events. One that he is particularly proud of is called Cut the Hate and Share the Love. This annual outreach initiative provides haircuts, clothing and shoes, and hot meals for the homeless community and people less fortunate. Leaving an environment better than the way he found it is Taylor's goal. He is certified in Social Emotional Learning from the University of Colorado and ACEs certification Taylor is currently working to obtain a master's degree as a therapist. Dr. Martin Luther King said, "Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve and I am honored to be able to do my part. Logan Taylor has proven this to be true. He lives his life by the mantra of Y.B.Normal?, when you can be extraordinary.

Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone kicks off Hideaki Anno's cinematic retelling of the Neon Genesis Evangelion television series by more-or-less recreating the first few episodes of the show shot-for-shot. Ian and Joseph take it as an opportunity to introduce Eva to film critic and festival programmer Logan Taylor. She helps the hosts answer the question "What is Eva like for a grown person who hasn't seen it before?" Her answers may surprise you. Along the way she introduces the hosts to the cocnept of 'generous filmmaking,' while the boys indoctrinate her into the 'screaming geometrically' Ramiel meme fandom. The trio also takes apart auteur theory rather than rebuild Anno's mystique.

We immediately connected over our relatability to the main character, Lila's, story of struggle. Logan is also diagnosed Bipolar 2, like me. We also both understand what it's like to be from the south where conformity is more common than breaking the status quo. That's why Logan emphasizes the importance of seeking your own self approval above others and trusting that you are enough!

A whole lotta mackerel snappin' goin' on... Hell to the King vaults across Jason's concentric circles and into the realm where all the rules are thrown out. Logan Taylor guests on this episode about Needful Things, a Stephen King adaptation that plays like a more murderous It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Also, everyone involved swoons over Max von Sydow. Join a filmmaker (and sometimes film teacher) and a film teacher (and sometimes filmmaker) as they venture into the dark heart of their own befuddled relationship to culture, the youth, the internet, friendship, love, hate, time, space and, of course: *m*o*v*i*e*s*. Come hear what we see.

Matt Arey: Young guns in the house. Intro: Growing up on the water with fishing in their blood, Matt Arey and Bryan Thrift has spent the last 10 years competing against the biggest names in professional bass fishing. Their success is labeled in the top anglers in the world. If you're looking to become a better angler, then this show has all the answers. Join us and follow along to get actionable tips, tactics, and tried and true techniques directly from the pros. Welcome to Let's Talk Fish. Matt Arey: Hi guys, we're back and thanks for joining. We had a 130 some viewers already tonight and we have a couple very special guests. We have 2018 Rookie of the Year, BASS Rookie of the Year Jake Whitaker in the house. Jake, thanks for being here. Jake Whitaker: Thank you for having me. Matt Arey: We got Shane Lehew aka Elite Series Rookie that I just found out because I didn't know the actual rules until Jake clarified those for me. Shane Lehew: I think so. Matt Arey: Anybody that thinks Shane shouldn't be a rookie, let us know, maybe we can get that changed because I don't think he qualifies to be a rookie. Apparently it's based on earnings. Right? Jake Whitaker: I believe so. Matt Arey: It's based on accumulative earnings and if you surpassed a certain point then you don't qualify as a rookie. If I gotta pick to win rookie of the year this year, since we can't pick Jake since he won it last year, he's no longer a rookie, I think I'm going to put my money on Lehew. Jake Whitaker: Definitely. Matt Arey: Yeah, so I'm going to put my money on Lehew. Jeff Walsh: Right, because he doubles a PBA pro bowler. Shane Lehew: And rodeo clown. Matt Arey: And rodeo clown, yeah. Shane Lehew: Jack of all trades. Matt Arey: Real quick we have to give a shout out to Smoke, he's still driving, I think. He better still be driving if not he was lying to me. Jeff Walsh: He actually was trying to make it back which is insane. Matt Arey: Not for the show. Jeff Walsh: He thought about it. Guaranteed. Matt Arey: Well, I talked to him this morning, it was like 9:00, 10:00 and he was in Mississippi so, I knew that was a no go for the show tonight. We wanna to give a shout out to Thrift on his third place finish at San Rayburn and to Terry Bolton on the win because Terry and Shane knows him. Do you know Terry Jake? Jake Whitaker: Just being around. Matt Arey: A little bit. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: And Terry has been at this game for I wanna say about 25 years. He started fishing FLW since its inception I believe in 1996. He's one off the good guys, Terry's just as nice of guy you've ever met in your life. I told Bryan I wouldn't pull against you, I'm always pulling for my buddies. I said but to see Terry win, and I don't get emotional very often watching somebody else win, I got emotional when I won but watching somebody else win, but I got emotional when I saw Terry get the trophy onstage because I knew how long he'd been at it. Matt Arey: He actually considered retiring this year and then he came back not out of retirement but, he decided to come back with some influence from his wife and a pretty good decision. Pretty good decision to [crosstalk 00:02:54]. Shane Lehew: That's usually when it happens. Matt Arey: Or you have a baby or something like that. Guys that have babies on tour man, they're destined to win. I'm telling you. They're going to be dangerous but, all right. A little housekeeping real quick. Gotta announce a new partnership that we're very excited about with Let's Talk Fish, we've got a partnership for 2019 with Angler's Choice Marine which is where I get my boats through, Thrift gets his boats through, Jake also gets his boats through. Jake Whitaker: Yep, just this year. Matt Arey: And if you see some signage in the background, we got a hoodie hanging up, we got a special giveaway at the end of the show tonight. We're going to give away one of Angler's Choice high performance hoodies, one of their nice fitted 25th anniversary hats, I didn't mention that, it's their 25th anniversary so, they've been in business for 25 years. Congrats to Angler's Choice and they got open houses coming up Jeff's going to pop it up on the screen while I talk about it here. Yay, it worked. That a boy. Jeff is the man. If y'all didn't already know, Jeff's the man. The open houses, Jeff you wanna go over the dates since I can't see the picture? Jeff Walsh: January 25th, 26th in Martinsville. Matt Arey: In Martinsville, okay, so that ... I'm going to stop you there real quick because that is one that Jake and I will both be present at. I'm assuming we'll both be doing seminars there and we hope to see everybody at that one. Hank Parker, Denny Brower's on the list. Keith Combs in on the list I believe. Jeff Walsh: [crosstalk 00:04:11] Pearson, yep. Matt Arey: So there's a lot of big names are going to be at that open house. All right, okay, I've got it now so February 1st and second at the Spindale location and February 9th is at the Lexington North Carolina location. They have three locations, Martinville Virginia, Spindale North Carolina and Lexington North Carolina. Matt Arey: Awesome people, awesome products and if you need a boat, have you been in the facility in Martinsville? Jake Whitaker: A long time ago. Matt Arey: Okay, if it's been a long time ago ... Jake Whitaker: Yeah, so I haven't. Matt Arey: Wait till you see it at the open house. Jake Whitaker: Okay. Matt Arey: It is unbelievable, it's a ... they have all their boats inside. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: It looks like a Bass Pro Shops in the back but, it's nothing but Ranger boats and Triton boats and everything all the way down both sides. It's pretty unbelievable. Anyway, Matt Hicks at Go Anglers, they are great people and they are. They'll get you hooked up. Justin Jones, that's right Terry Bolton did truly deserve it. He said he got emotional when he won too. I'm not the only one I might've shed a little tear when I was watching the weigh in. All right. Jake, congrats man, rookie of the year of 2018, first year on tour, how was it? I know your goals ... what were your goals going in 2018? Was it to win rookie of the year? Jake Whitaker: Definitely one of my goals was to win rookie of the year but, being realistic, I'm a pretty realistic person, you're going to have struggles first year and you're going to have highs and you're going to have lows. My goal was to mitigate the lows and make sure my highs were, could shine. Matt Arey: Right, right. Jake Whitaker: But, yeah, definitely one of my goals was definitely to win rookie of the year, cash some checks, and just set myself up for the future. Matt Arey: Right. I think you did that pretty darn well. Rookie of the year title, all five of the classics, correct? Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Which is coming up pretty soon in March. Which we'll have a booth at by the way. That has been solidified, I didn't even tell Jeff. Let's Talk Fish will officially have a booth at the Bass Master Classic in 2019. Jake Whitaker: Cool. Matt Arey: Hopefully you're fishing the last day but if not hopefully we drop in. Jake Whitaker: Yeah, hopefully. Matt Arey: Shane you'll be there working right? Shane Lehew: Yes, I'll be there. Matt Arey: You're not going to be like Thrift, when I ask you a question you're like what? I wasn't listening to you. He never pays attention to me when I'm talking. Shane Lehew: Somebody called me, I was trying to get this thing ... Matt Arey: I gotcha, all right, we'll use that excuse. Guys, if you got any questions for Jake or for Shane, we got Shane Lehew in the house, I'm talking about Jake, sorry Shane. Shane Lehew: That's okay, I'll sit over her in the corner by myself. Matt Arey: I'm going to give Shane the mic just for a second because Shane's got something pretty cool that him and his family has started up there. It's a new tackle store at Lake Norman and I'm sure a lot of your local viewers have already been in. I dropped in for the first time the other day, I was up at Norman messing around with a buddy of mine and got some good stuff man. But, tell us about the new store and where it is and how they can get in touch with you. Shane Lehew: It's on 7938 Unity Church Road and it's, actually if you guys are going towards Betty's Ford Landing, a lot of guys from Lake Norman area know where that is. We took it over from it used to be Tackle, Dustin just decided to let it go and we were fortunate enough to get it so, Dustin's a good friend of ours and we appreciate him helping us out on everything. We've taken it over and we've got a ton of new products in. Constantly getting new stuff. Matt Arey: Y'all got some good stuff and some hard to find stuff too. Shane Lehew: Yeah, we've got some off the wall stuff. Some custom crank baits, stuff like that. We're trying to get some Tater Hog baits but, that never works. Matt Arey: Yeah you gotta watch him. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: What does he do? Does he just fish every ... Jeff Walsh: As a matter of fact he left his hat here. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: He did, he actually left his hat here so. Somebody said a minute ago Whitaker needs to wear a flat bill if he's going to sit in Thrift's chair. Jeff actually had a, I don't know if you saw the show. Jake Whitaker: I did, I watched that. Matt Arey: He had a flat bill on. Jake Whitaker: Yeah I did. Matt Arey: I mean Thrift in a flat bill, that was enough for me. Jake Whitaker: I will not be wearing a flat bill. Matt Arey: I'd rather have Tater Hog back wearing that. That wig. Shane Lehew: He needs to wear a flat bill. Matt Arey: Who? Shane Lehew: Thrift on tour. Matt Arey: Oh Thrift? I agree. Look what he did, he wore it on the show and then he went and placed third. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Of course third I mean, third's okay but, for Thrift, it's about average. Shane Lehew: If he was wearing a flat bill, probably first. Matt Arey: Yeah, that's right. Shane Lehew: Block out all the haters. Matt Arey: Kyle Hill had a question. He said do y'all ship? Shane Lehew: Yes. Matt Arey: Can they order anything online from your tackle store or anything like that? Shane Lehew: Currently we don't have an online store right now. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: We're working on that obviously. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: Taking over a store is ... it takes a while to get it going. Get everything right. Matt Arey: A bunch of people are already asking do you have a website? Sounds to me like you better get you a website. Shane Lehew: Yeah, we're working on that. If you guys do call in, we're nice enough, we'll ship you some stuff obviously. Matt Arey: You had some pretty good looking swim baits in the ... that's some Tater Hog stuff in there wasn't there? Shane Lehew: No, we don't have any, no. Matt Arey: You can't get him to make any can you? Shane Lehew: We don't have any Hog swag yet as he would like to say. Matt Arey: You can't get him to make any. I asked him how long it would take to make me the smaller, not the Uncle Ronny. Shane Lehew: He'll tell you a couple months. Matt Arey: Yeah, he was like a couple months. Shane Lehew: Yeah, half a year. Matt Arey: If you fish seven days a week, it's hard to make a swim bait isn't? Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: So we're at 226 viewers. Y'all, we've got some young guns in the house. Jake Whitaker and Shane Lehew tonight so, be sure to share the show. I hadn't said that in a while. Bryan gets mad, somebody got mad at me one time for telling everybody to share the show. Remember that? Jeff Walsh: Yeah I do. Matt Arey: Well, share the show. I don't know who that was but, I'm going to tell them like 10 times a night. Kevin Franklin said Jake Whitaker owes me a fishing trip. Jake Whitaker: I probably owe a lot of people fishing trips. Matt Arey: Well, while you owe me one too. All right. Anthony Randal said can I get a chance to win Hog's hat? They wanna win that Donald King. Shane Lehew: You might as well raffle it off. Matt Arey: We can't give that away man. Jeff Walsh: Is it replaceable? Matt Arey: I don't know, without his permission we can't give it away. Shane Lehew: I would anyway. Jake Whitaker: Silent auction. Matt Arey: Shane Lehew can give it away, we can't Jeff. Shane Lehew: Yeah, here, give it me, we'll give it away. Matt Arey: We can do a giveaway tonight so, we'll have two giveaways at the end of the show. We've got the Angler's Choice high performance hoodie with an Angler's choice hat and we've got our regular membership giveaway. We're going to do ... I didn't know this but, do I need to trivia questions? Are we going to do two separate giveaways or are we just going to combine it all into one? What do you think? What do y'all think? Give them two opportunities? Two winners or one winner? Shane Lehew: Two sounds better. Matt Arey: Okay. Jeff Walsh: Two winners, yeah. Matt Arey: Great, now I gotta come up with another trivia question. I had one all set up and all ready and I was all excited about it. I got another one right here I think somewhere. I'll just scribble scrabble. All right. We will get ... somebody asked earlier what day I'll be at the Martinsville Angler's Choice open house, I'll be there both days Friday and Saturday. You be there both days? Jake Whitaker: Friday and Saturday. Matt Arey: All right, cool. Jeff Walsh: I got the question. Matt Arey: What? Jeff Walsh: I'll handle the second question. Matt Arey: You'll handle the second trivia question? Jeff Walsh: I got it. Matt Arey: Okay, I'm going to do the one that I've already got, I'll do the Angler's Choice giveaway and then the second will be for the ... Jeff Walsh: I got the Angler's Choice giveaway, you have the trivia. Matt Arey: But, really? You're going to argue about that? You're going to fight me over that? Jeff Walsh: Just trust me. Matt Arey: Okay, all right. All right, I'll trust you. First time for everything. Lucky hat, Jimmy Barns, you'll probably never see me in a flat bill. I can about guarantee that. Hank's win at Norman, I hate to mention Hank Jerry's win at Norman, Hank's not here but we can talk about Hank when he's not here. He cracked almost 19 pounds in the tournament. What tournament? Was that the Winter Trail tournament? Shane Lehew: Yeah, I think that was Sunday. Matt Arey: Yeah, second place was 18 wasn't? Shane Lehew: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jake Whitaker: Yeah, it wasn't far off. Matt Arey: So they crushed them. Shane Lehew: I think Craig Chambers finished second. Matt Arey: I get that was bitter sweet. Him and Hank used to fish together. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: Yeah. We've got Guy Aker watching. We have a legend watching. Y'all don't get nervous or anything but [crosstalk 00:12:04]. Jeff Walsh: He just popped on. Matt Arey: Yeah, I saw that. What's up Guy? All right, we're going to start taking some questions. Jeff Walsh: Trey Dotson is already answering the trivia question. Matt Arey: I like that Trey. You know what? Trey actually sent me a message the other day, he didn't know about the free decal deal. Jeff Walsh: I got you. Matt Arey: Trey, send us a message with your address and I'll ... this doesn't apply to everybody. Let me tell you why it only applies to Trey, Trey ... go ahead Jeff. Jeff Walsh: Trey, let me put Jake back up here. If you look over Jake's head there in the vintage Pennzoil uniform, Matt has yet to wear. Matt Arey: I will wear that on the show one night. I promise Trey. Jeff Walsh: Shirt and pants, that came from Trey. Our basket of Christmas nuts ... Matt Arey: I'm glad you said Christmas nuts. Jeff Walsh: Also came from Trey. We didn't know it at the time. We did the whole sticker giveaway as a [crosstalk 00:13:03]. Matt Arey: That's right. Jeff Walsh: We didn't know at the time. And of all people that need a decal. Matt Arey: Yep. Jeff Walsh: It needs to be Trey. Matt Arey: And in Trey's defense, he didn't know where the link was in the closed group. Jeff Walsh: Absolutely send us your address and we'll get you something that's going to be more than a decal, how about that? Matt Arey: There you go. All right, they asked where the mouse was to feed Mr. Wilson. Jeff Walsh: I couldn't fit it past the 64 fish. Matt Arey: He ate 60 some goldfish earlier today. Jeff Walsh: 64. Matt Arey: Or feeder fish, sorry goldfish might not be politically correct. I don't know if I'm supposed to call them gold fish or not. Anyway, next week, can we do some ice next week? Thrift's going to be back on the show. Jeff Walsh: You're serious? Matt Arey: Yeah, I'm serious. Why? That's not a joking matter. All right, next week, even if I have to get them, they do have those in stock right? Fins and Critters? Jeff Walsh: Yes, I'm sure. Matt Arey: Okay. How many you think you can eat? Jeff Walsh: All of them. Matt Arey: All right, next week, and I'm going to guarantee this, only if we get the 300 viewers today. We're at 245. Okay, go ahead Jeff. Jeff Walsh: Let me update the decals. Jeremy asked where his decals, he's been looking for them. Everybody's getting their decals with holidays, Matt's schedule, Thrift's schedule, it was a little tough because it's not only a decal coming, we got a little special gift in there for everybody. That is pretty cool so, we had to align everyone's schedule. Literally Thrift will be back tomorrow to finish his part and the envelope's already addressed, stamped, ready to roll. Matt Arey: All the envelopes are addressed and stamped guys. Jeff Walsh: It'll be worth it. Matt Arey: It's not just a decal coming your way. We added a little special gift in that envelope and we just have to wait for Thrift to get back and finish [crosstalk 00:14:53]. Jeff Walsh: [crosstalk 00:14:53] had to finish third so, it took him a little while to get back. Matt Arey: Yeah. That's right and then they delayed it an extra day. All right. I saw some questions on here earlier but, I'll wait a little bit. I lost my train of thought. What was I talking about before you ... Jeff Walsh: Mice. Matt Arey: Mice. That's right. If y'all share the show tonight, and get us to 300 viewers, I guarantee there'll be mice next for Mr. Wilson, for your viewing pleasure. If that's not an awesome guarantee, I don't know what is. Come dude, who doesn't wanna watch a bass eat live mice. Jeff Walsh: He'll eat it. Matt Arey: It's going to be crazy. Jake Whitaker: Have we ever done frogs or anything like that? Matt Arey: I haven't done frogs. I mean the problem is that the frogs that you buy at a pet store are designer frog. Jeff Walsh: It's 40 dollars. Matt Arey: Yeah. The little pac-man frogs, the real fat ones where all you see is their eyeballs. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: They're like 25 bucks and stuff. Jeff Walsh: Eight dollars every [crosstalk 00:15:42]. Matt Arey: I'm pretty sure you can get a feeder mouse for a dollar. Feeder mice coming up. I already see us jumping up to almost 260 just like that. Share the show, you're going to get feeder mice for Mr. Wilson next week. All right. Matt Arey: I saw a question here earlier, a lot of guys said they saw you at the Raleigh show this week. Jake Whitaker: Yes, I had an awesome time there. Matt Arey: Up there working for ALS Rods? Jake Whitaker: Yep. And True South. Matt Arey: And True South, yeah. True South makes some good stuff. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: They got some pretty slick stuff too. Justin Jones is asking about the Alabama rig Shane, Shane's baits has a website they can order the Alabama rigs. Shane Lehew: Yeah, we do. Matt Arey: Is that shanesbaits.com? Shane Lehew: It is. Matt Arey: Shanesbaits.com is where you can get the custom best Alabama rig on the market which they've been biting that pretty much all over the place lately. Shane Lehew: We're having trouble keeping them in stock right now. Matt Arey: There you go. Shane Lehew: They must be biting them about everywhere. Matt Arey: I know what Shane will be doing when he leaves here. He'll be going home to make more Alabama rigs. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: Anthony if you heard that, we will have mice if we get the 300 viewers, we'll have mice next week for Mr. Wilson. All right. I'm going to catch up to everybody, see, that's awesome Bryant Clair said you all are the best, we appreciate that. What day can I come meet Shane Lehew to show him some tricks Brandon [Shilders 00:16:57] asked that. Is that one of your buddies? Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: He needs to be shown some tricks that's for sure. Matt Arey: All right, here we go. First questions coming for Shane. If the water is under 60 degrees, do you Carolina rig off of ledges or in hollows of the creeks? Now the hallows I'm assuming he's talking about the ditches and things like that. Under 60 degrees. Honestly, I don't throw a Carolina rig enough to really even answer that question. I'm not even qualified to answer that question. What about y'all? Carolina rigging, come on, y'all Carolina riggers. You're from the Carolinas. Jake Whitaker: Yeah, points are big. Hartwell is a big place where I fish. Before the move up to spawn, they move up shallow on the points. Matt Arey: Right. Jake Whitaker: It doesn't necessarily have to be out on the ledges or even in the ditches or whatever. Matt Arey: That's what ... I don't like a lot of vertical. If I am throwing a Carolina rig, I don't like it to be real vertical. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: I don't like bluff ins and things like that. I'd rather have a gradual slope than anything that drops off super fast. If it drops off really fast, I'm usually going to something like Shaky Head or Jig or something like that. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: You? Shane Lehew: I'm on the same page, yeah. Matt Arey: All right let's see. Shane Lehew: I don't Carolina rig a whole lot. Matt Arey: Yeah. I watch those guys at Rayburn and FLW and they're like, all of them are throwing a rig. I don't know if I'm jealous of rig throwing or not. Shane Lehew: In short grass, right? Matt Arey: yeah, that's right. Little hard spots in the grass and things like that. Congrats to Gina, she said she caught her first bass on Lake Linear today. Jack Hyles says Shane's A rigs are the best. I have to agree. Smoke was throwing a Carolina rig this week. Shane Lehew: He was. Matt Arey: Y'all better write that down because it's rare that he slows down. All this stuff about him, we can talk about him all we want because he ain't here. All this talk about him jumping around and running and gunning and things like that, that son of a gun sat on the same spot for four days. He spent ... what's eight times four Jeff? Jake Whitaker: 32. Jeff Walsh: 19. Matt Arey: He spent 19 days, no he spent 32 hours basically on the same spot the entire tournament. Bryan's good enough to where when he knows he has to slow down, he slows down. Jeff Walsh: He's done it before. Matt Arey: Oh yeah, absolutely. Jeff Walsh: Not a lot. Matt Arey: He done it at Kentucky Lake. Some of the ledge tournaments and stuff like that and grass lakes are big. They said when they found them at Rayburn and I talked to him this morning on the phone while he was driving, he said when you found them, it wasn't easy to find them but, when you found them, it was every cast. I watched Bolton live on Monday. Yesterday morning dude, the first spot that he pulls up to, he might not have caught one every cast but, he had a bite every cast for 40 casts. It was a lot of fund to watch. Jeff Davis said he was there and he pounded them. Matt Arey: One of y'all text Hog and see if y'all can give his hat away. Man they want that hat. Jeff Walsh: That would be epic. Matt Arey: They want that hat. Jeff Walsh: That would be awesome. Matt Arey: Hey Shane, you wanna shoot him a text and see if we can ... Shane Lehew: I'll shoot him a text. Matt Arey: See if we can give his hat away. he'll know what it is. Shane Lehew: He needs to be watching. Jeff Walsh: Autographed hair. Matt Arey: Autographed, he didn't sign it. Jeff Walsh: Y'all can all sign it. Matt Arey: Oh yeah. We're going to sign a wig that was on Matt McBee's head. Jeff Walsh: Absolutely. Who wants that? Give us a thumbs up in the feed if you want it. Matt Arey: Oh Jay Mack, that's an interesting question. I'm not real sure, he said give your perspective on the loons that poach Thrift's fish. Y'all know what he's talking about. That might have been something on live or something. Shane Lehew: Yeah, I missed ... I saw some loons in the background.. Jeff Walsh: equals third. Matt Arey: I like it. Thank you Mike Harris, I hope Thrift's watching on his drive home. He might already be home but, Mike Harris said, Thrift needed an Ultrix on Rayburn. Thrift and argued, he hates change, okay? But when you're sitting there on an offshore spot and you're making such a specific cast, and he's having to run that trolling motor to get him back up. I know he's got GPS and he's got his line up and he's got his way points and all that stuff, that's great but, he's lying when he says Ultrix wouldn't have come in handy in a tournament like that. Like I said, he's not here so, I'm going to talk about him. He's come home with 40 grand in his pocket, I'm sure he's all right. He can take a little picking. All right, question for you Jake, this comes from Jack Hyle, he said how would he catch a better fish on Harrtwell right now? They've just been catching a lot of smaller spots. What would be your key on catching a better fish, a better quality fish, above average fish on Lake Hartwell right now? Jake Whitaker: I would probably have to say due to all the rain that we've been having, I would say that a lot of the creeks are stained. Matt Arey: I'm sure, yeah. Jake Whitaker: In the backs and if it were me trying to catch a better fish, I would be square billing, spinner baiting, chatter baiting, something like that. Dirty water. Matt Arey: All right, so there you go and that's always a good way to catch kicker large mouth down there. Do split rings affect jerk baits? This one's from Jeff Fox and crank baits, I've heard some take them off and some tie directly to the eye of the bait. I've always used split rings, for the most part do you y'all use split rings? I've seen guys take them off and use snaps too. I've seen guys even tie a loop knot in some of them. I don't like that because it grinds on the line when you're using light line, light flora carbon and things like that. Are y'all split ring guys? Shane Lehew: Yeah, definitely. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Shane Lehew: For sure. Matt Arey: Okay, so Jeff, that's pretty unanimous. We all use split rings on our jerk baits and crank baits. I keep an eye on those split rings and if they get a little bent out of shape, or they get a little rusted or they get a rough spot in them, you don't wanna make your line ... I got to where, I don't know even know what they're called but, they're more of an oval than they are a circular. Jake Whitaker: Yes, yep. Matt Arey: I like those a lot better. It seems to me that it stays a little bit truer. It still can swing but, I don't know, I think it's personal preference I guess but, I got to where I use those a lot more than the regular circular split rings. Matt Arey: Perfect spinner bait rod. Some people want one, Logan Taylor was asking, with a little bit more backbone. I like a 7 2, 7 3 Jake, you're a pretty big guy, I'm a pretty tall guy, Shane's a little shorter but do you like a longer rod or shorter rod? I know what Thrift would say if he was here. Shane Lehew: 7 3, medium heavy, yeah. Matt Arey: So, we all on the same page. 7 3 medium heavy to me is about an ideal action for a good spinner bait rod. The same rod I use for chatter bait a lot too. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: Especially when I'm in grass and things like that. If y'all see a question that I miss and y'all wanna address it, y'all let me know. I hate going for a mullet Josh Calvin but, I'm getting close. Shane Lehew: You're getting close yeah. Matt Arey: Maybe I'll just shave the front of my head. Shane Lehew: Go Joe Dirt this year. Matt Arey: Go Joe Dirt on them this year. That's right. Oh, Trey Dawson said Thrift actually hooked a loon. Jake Whitaker: Oh Lord, I did not see that. Matt Arey: I didn't know that. Jake Whitaker: I did not see that. Matt Arey: That's interesting. I've never been a good enough to fool one but I guess Thrift is. Shane Lehew: Not only catches bass. Matt Arey: I'm still having a problem Jeff with seeing a complete comment. Jeff Walsh: Because you have an iPhone2. Matt Arey: It's not an iPhone2, it's a 6S. Jeff Walsh: That needs to be charged every 30 seconds. Matt Arey: Hey we almost hit 300 viewers by the way, I saw 297 so we're almost there. Chad E. Butler said we need to do a show on your favorite knot that you like to tie. As far as knots man, I'm a palmar knot, occasionally I'll use a loop knot. What'd we decided the name of the knot was that we tie our braided flora carbon? What do you use Jake braid flora? Jake Whitaker: Here lately I've been doing a double uni. Matt Arey: What about you Shane? Shane Lehew: FG. Jake Whitaker: Yeah that one too. Matt Arey: Which one's the FG, is that the one that we use? Is that the one that Bryan and I use? We don't even know what it's called. We make a loop in the flora carbon, take the braid through it and wrap it around ... Jake Whitaker: Yeah, yeah. Matt Arey: He's shaking his head you're shaking yes. Jake Whitaker: I don't know. Shane Lehew: That's not the FG. Matt Arey: Okay. That's not the FG, that's like a uni knot. Jake Whitaker: Yes. Matt Arey: Okay, yep. Gotcha. What's the FG? I've heard of it. Shane Lehew: It's complicated. Matt Arey: So why do you tie it? Jake Whitaker: It's the one that takes like 10 minutes to tie. Shane Lehew: No it doesn't take me that long to tie it. Matt Arey: That's good, that's 10 more minutes we have to fish while he's tying knots. Shane Lehew: I've honestly ... because I've broke the double uni. Jake Whitaker: Yeah, yeah. Shane Lehew: I've broke all of them. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Shane Lehew: But that one, on guide trips and stuff [crosstalk 00:25:13]. Jeff Walsh: We just broke 300 by the way so you're going to buy mice. Matt Arey: All right, guaranteed mice for next Tuesday, I've got it. I promise unless for some reason Fins and Critters has run out of them Jeff Walsh: No you gotta catch them. Matt Arey: Then we'll ... catch them? Jeff Walsh: You live on a farm. Matt Arey: The way I catch them you can't feed them to him because they dead. Jeff Walsh: Just shake them. Matt Arey: And he likes stuff that's moving. Jeff Walsh: Just shake it. Matt Arey: Just shake it? Jeff Walsh: He'll eat it. Matt Arey: You're right, actually you're right. If he'll attack a 16 inch swim bait that Tater Hog made floating on top of the water in the aquarium, he probably would eat a dead mouse or whatever it is. Dustin Mowens, we are not coming to Lake Conra with MLF, we're all fishing the Bass Master Elite Series so we will not be present but, we will be in my opinion, at the best lake in Texas the first week of May for the TTTBC at Lake Fork. If you wanna see some big ones, whether one of us catches them or not, I guarantee you'll see some giants at Lake Fork in May. That's a guarantee. Keith Combs will be fishing in that tournament. Jake Whitaker: Yes. Matt Arey: He's probably be the one as usual but, we're going to do our best to knock him off his throne down there. I think he won ... I know the first TTTBC I fished at down there back when they let the FLW qualifiers fish it, he won that one by I don't know, it was three days. He like 110 pounds. Jake Whitaker: Oh yeah. Matt Arey: For three days. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: No granted they were all off shore, we're there a little earlier so it could make it interesting. I think they'll be a lot of different interesting ways to catch them. But, they'll be a 10 pounder caught in that one. It will take a double digit fish to win that truck. Matt Arey: Brandon Childers said how bad did your grandpa beat you today? Did y'all go fishing? Shane Lehew: I did, yeah. Matt Arey: I thought you had a tackle store you had to work at? Shane Lehew: No, dad was around the tackle store. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: I went fishing last night. Matt Arey: You and your Shane Lehew: Then I woke up as seven, went fishing again this morning. Matt Arey: I saw your post. Shane Lehew: Yeah, I only fished till like nine last night. Matt Arey: But you caught them though didn't ya? Shane Lehew: Yeah, it was pretty fun. Last night was fun, this morning was fun and then about nine O'clock I should've went home. Matt Arey: So you and your grandpa fished head-to-head? Shane Lehew: There's a little 5 dollar Tuesday tournament. Matt Arey: Five dollars Tuesday tournament like that. Shane Lehew: Yep. I jump in at about once every two months. Matt Arey: How many ... so my grandfather used to play in a weekly golf tournament and they would bet quarters. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Shane Lehew: Sometimes there'll get like 30 boats on a Tuesday. Matt Arey: so there might be 150 dollars to win if I did my math right. Shane Lehew: Actually it's six dollars because it's a dollar big fish. Matt Arey: I hear yeah Jeff. It was how much? Shane Lehew: Six bucks. Matt Arey: So who won? Shane Lehew: Grandpa. Matt Arey: Oh, okay, he took all the money. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: How many boats? Shane Lehew: See, what he did, what he always does wherever we fished this past weekend, that's what he's going to run on Tuesday so, grandpa, I hope you're watching, I know you ran my juice. Matt Arey: You ran Lehew's juice, beat him at his own game. I like it. Shane Lehew: For a fact. Matt Arey: There's a question to you Jake from a John Martin, since Jake is a true south we'll throw in a couple pulse blades and buzz bates for the giveaway, so is John the owner of True South? Jake Whitaker: John is. Matt Arey: Okay. All right, so that's pretty awesome. Couple pulse blades and buzz baits for the giveaway. We can either throw that in the Angler's Choice giveaway or ... we'll throw it in the Angler's Choice giveaway because we'll have to get their name and address anyway and that's going to be dropped shipped from Angler's choice direct and he can drop ship that stuff from True South. Jake Whitaker: Yep. Matt Arey: Appreciate the donation. Jake Whitaker: That's awesome, appreciate it. Matt Arey: I'm glad I saw that, that's pretty cool, that was pretty cool. What's up Tom, Tom thanks for tuning in. Anthony Randal said the same thing, when we was talking about split rings, he said oval split ring crank baits. I don't get to see comments like that very often so I'm just going to read it. Anthony Randal said Matt is 100% right on oval split rings. If Thrift was here I ... Jeff Walsh: That is rare. Matt Arey: I would probably screenshot that and make him read it over and over and over and over again. Shane Lehew: He would probably disagree. Matt Arey: James Wiley, Jeff mentioned that earlier about the LTF decals. Yes we've got all the decals but we're adding something else in each and every one of you guys and gals that signed up for a free decal in the envelope so, we're giving you a special gift in there with it. That will be on its way hopefully within the next week or so we'll get those in the mail but, I promise they're coming, just be patient with us. Matt Arey: Allen Cole, thanks buddy. He said he's here so the party can start. Sorry he's late. Best contact rod. That's a good question Paul Jackson asks the best rod for contact. Scott Martin who I roomed with last year has completely changed my outlook on the right contact rod. I'll let you guys tell what your favorite setup is for throwing a contact, the model, the length, the action whatever brand rod you like to throw you can mention and ... Jake Whitaker: What size are we talking? Matt Arey: Well contacts I'm assuming Paul you're talking the three eighths, not the big giant like five eighths but, three threes, three eighths, things like that. The most common size that we all throw, I'm sure than anything. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Favorite contact rod. Action, length, go ahead Jake. Jake Whitaker: I'm going to give you two answers because, this year I threw a contact a lot and I threw it a lot on a spinning reel. Eighth ounce head, seven foot medium, the ALX Ico series, the Shake seven. Matt Arey: Shake seven? Jake Whitaker: Shake seven is what I threw it on this year. If you're throwing it on a bait caster, quarter ounce weight, whatever weight you're throwing it on, probably the ALZ Zolo Deputy. It's a seven foot one, it's a medium heavy rod but, I think it leans more toward the medium aspect of that. That's what I throw. Matt Arey: Okay, and a lot of rods out there but, you're around a seven, seven one for the most part. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: What about you Shane? Shane Lehew: Same way, I'm a seven foot medium heavy Fantasy, it's got a little backbone if you get out on a long cast, usually I throw it on a three sixteenths or a quarter ounce head like Jake was talking. If I throw a three three or three sixteenths, or a three eight. It's got a pretty soft tip. Matt Arey: All right. Y'all are going to laugh at me because I'm so ... and I used to use pretty much the same rods that y'all just mentioned, I used to use a seven foot medium, it was a ... it was more like a medium heavy but it was labeled a medium. It had a decent backbone but a pretty soft tip. I always used around a seven foot rod and then Scott got me using a seven eleven now y'all might laugh about that but, when I'm fishing now, unless I'm skipping docks, it's different. I'm not skipping docks with a swim bait, this is fishing open water. Brush piles, things like that, shoals, offshore. Matt Arey: This seven eleven, it's loose, it's got a medium heavy crank and a seven eleven stick and I have to get you guys the model number, but that seven eleven, what it did for me and I'd use eight or ten pound line, and I'd use a six three to one reel, and I could absolutely launch that thing and it was a medium heavy crank bait rod. It wasn't designed for 10XDs and things like that, it was more like your 5XDs and your series six and your 10 to 15 foot divers. It's very similar cause it's so long, the fish will just, they hook themselves, they load up on it. It's got plenty of backbone, but it's got the length to where you can absolutely just bomb that bait. First I was like y'all, I was like seven eleven for throwing a contact, then when you do it, you're like this is the deal. Jake Whitaker: Why haven't I been doing it? Matt Arey: This is the deal. I'm telling you, you guys should try that. Try using a seven eleven when you're fishing the contact or a little paddle tail swim bait in open water. I was impressed and I won't go back to anything else. Matt Arey: Anthony said Matt spend some money and get an iPad for the show. How many iPads we got? One, two, three we got all kinds of iPads. That's how y'all see us. We have iPads. iPhone 6S, Andy, Andy Markel gave me the little iPhone 6. Jeff Walsh: His phone is horrible. Matt Arey: So my six is better than Andy's? Do you like the FG knot? Well I guess one of us at the table does. Shane uses the FG knot all the time. Shane Lehew: It is weird to tie. Matt Arey: Literally how long does it take you to tie? Shane Lehew: Not that long now. Matt Arey: If you're just learning. Shane Lehew: 20 seconds. Matt Arey: Forever. Jake Whitaker: If you're just learning, it's a good five, ten minute. Shane Lehew: I put the braid in my mouth, hold the braid with my teeth, then do the rest with [crosstalk 00:33:34]. Jake Whitaker: I think that is the hardest part of tying it is figuring out [crosstalk 00:33:37] what to hold, yeah. Matt Arey: Figuring how to hold it. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: To me tying the line, the line tight knot, that's the biggest challenge is figuring out how to hold everything. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Once you figure that, get a method going, then it becomes a lot easier and more efficient. Shane Lehew: There's an easier way, I think Marty Robinson, Brandon Cobb told me about it but, he does some crazy [crosstalk 00:33:56] yeah, he does some crazy stuff with his hands and I have no idea so I just ... Jake Whitaker: So he actually showed you and you still didn't understand it. Shane Lehew: No he didn't show me, he showed Cobb and Cobb tried to figure it out and he couldn't. Jake Whitaker: Oh, you're talking about Marty does it. Shane Lehew: Yeah. Jake Whitaker: Okay. Shane Lehew: I found the knot online. I mean literally, I was just going through saltwater knots. Matt Arey: Gotcha. Shane Lehew: I was playing around with it, but it holds up really well. Matt Arey: Gotcha. Mark Mason said the Alberta knot, Jmac said if you miss two strikes on a crank bait, do you change hooks? What do you all do? I usually just change colors before I start changing hooks. I always have new hooks on my crank baits. If you start missing fish on a crank bait, what do y'all do first? Shane Lehew: Color, yeah most of the time. If you're not catching a bunch of fish, obviously if you're catching like 20 fish on one bait, then you start losing them, then yeah, you probably worn out the hooks. Matt Arey: Right. Shane Lehew: Because you wear out the hooks a lot depending on what you're cranking, rock, stuff like that. Matt Arey: Yeah. While we're at it, what hooks do you y'all run ... let's just talk about shallow running cranks, square bills, and things like that. Not necessarily sizes because, it varies per bait. What are y'all's favorite hooks to run with crank bait? Just in general? Shane Lehew: Mine right now are the Berkley Fusion, they're round bends. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: Those things are the sharpest hooks I've ever seen. I've had some hooks in that past like even starting straighten out a little bit or bend a little bit, they don't. Matt Arey: Yeah. Jake Whitaker: I've gotta agree. Matt Arey: You like that Berkley Fusion? Jake Whitaker: I do and I'll tell you where ... Matt Arey: I haven't used this hook. Jake Whitaker: Where I got turned on to it was on the second year I fished the opens. Matt Arey: Okay. Jake Whitaker: Top water, small mouth. Matt Arey: Yep. Jake Whitaker: They were eating it, they were crazy but, you would lose some of them. Believe it or not, the tackle store had no other treble hooks besides those. Bottom, never lost a fish. Matt Arey: It worked. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Yeah. That's the biggest thing like throwing a jerk bait up north a lot, and I've always used round bends, the bronze hooks and the downfall of that hook is they'll stick you if you look at them wrong but, they will bend on you. In throwing a jerk bait up north, and catching them small mouth and three and four pound small mouth jumping five feet out the water and stuff, about every fish or every other fish, you're going to either have to change the hook or you're going to have to straighten one back out. Jake Whitaker: Yep. Matt Arey: That's the only downfall. Are they great hooks? Absolutely, they're killer hooks. All right, I'm seeing everybody's comments that we hit over 300 viewers, we absolutely did, so we will have some mice to Mr. Wilson next week. I hope he is watching, they'll get a kick out that. 321, we actually hit, oh wow, we're at 325. This is pretty awesome. Blake Parish said Thrift and I are tying the Alberto know. I always thought it was the uni knot. Shane Lehew: I think that's what I used to tie. Matt Arey: We still don't know what we're tying. We've talked about that before. Any questions for Jake and Shane, be sure to shoot them over guys, Joel Fry, thanks for tuning in. He's tuning in from California. What time is it in California Jeff help me out here. I can't do math, remember? Four hours earlier right? Jeff Walsh: I'm not listening to you, what did you say? Matt Arey: You're just doing that because Thrift's not here. So, you're going to take his place and just pretend like you're not paying attention. Jeff Walsh: No, what did you say really? I had my earphones on. Matt Arey: Nothing, don't worry about it. Oh yeah Trey, that's interesting man. Did we hit a new record for viewers tonight? [crosstalk 00:37:19] we've been in the 300s several times but [crosstalk 00:37:22]. Jeff Walsh: I think we hit 350 one time because I think one of the first white ninja crawfish was a 350. Matt Arey: Oh yeah, was that a 350 with ... let's see, Tim Fredrick had your way this weekend. Oh, that's Lineburger telling Tim he's headed down there. I wonder what Lineburger's going there for. Lineburger fishing the coast of something? Jake Whitaker: Yes, he said he is. Matt Arey: Oh, okay. Jake Whitaker: He's fishing the coast for the open. Matt Arey: Oh, I didn't see Tim was on, what's up Tim, thanks for tuning in. Florida Hammer there and them boys will have fun down there so they're headed to the coast and that's at Okeechobee? Jake Whitaker: Yes. Matt Arey: That water is really low there. That should be an interesting tournament, or it was really low, I don't know if it still is. What's so funny Jeff? I missed it. Jeff Walsh: Anthony Renner said I'm acting like Smoke, I guess not listening to you. Matt Arey: Yeah that's right, exactly right. Randy McCudy said looking for a dual bow mount for my electronics, what do you guys recommend? Ranger Boat Randy, you need to call Van Foster at Bass Boat technologies, are you all in agreance with that? Jake Whitaker: Yes. Matt Arey: I know there's a couple different companies out there that make them but, I'll tell you Van was the very first one in the industry period to make any kid of single or dual mount for bass boats and I promise you, you won't be disappointed with Van's work. Look up Bass Boat technologies and give Van a call Randy and you won't be disappointed. Matt Arey: Let's see, Jake and Shane, this is from Vernon Kemp to both of you guys, do you guys feel like a spinning rod is better than a casting rod for a hard jerk bait? Probably know what both y'all are going to say but, go ahead either one of you. Who wants to answer first? Shane go ahead. Shane Lehew: I always throw my own bait caster. Now when you said the legend's watching, Guy Eaker, he throws his own spinning rods. Matt Arey: Guy throws a jerk bait on a spinner rod? Shane Lehew: Yeah. Matt Arey: Interesting. I didn't know that. Shane Lehew: Yeah and I think he throws braid a lot honestly. Matt Arey: Really? With a flora liter or ... Shane Lehew: I think just straight braid. Matt Arey: Straight braid. Shane Lehew: Yep, I usually throw mine on a six ten medium 10 pound flora carbon most of the time. Matt Arey: Okay. Now when you get to the bigger jerk baits, bigger, deeper diving, heavier jerk baits are you still on that six ten medium? Shane Lehew: I'll go to a seven foot medium most of the time. Matt Arey: Okay. Jake Whitaker: Yeah, pretty much the same way. LX actually has a KellyJ jerk bait rod. Matt Arey: Okay. How long is that rod? Jake Whitaker: It's six ten, seven foot. Matt Arey: Gotcha. Jake Whitaker: Typical jerk bait rod. Matt Arey: Yeah, and I'm the same way. I got to where I just like longer rods for about everything. I feel like I get a little bit more distance and leverage out of it but, I use seven footers and I'll use most of the time I'll use a medium action. If I go up to something super heavy, sometimes I'll go to a seven two medium. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Some seven two or seven three medium, medium heavy, some medium heavys are more like mediums, it's depends on the brand but, Louis has got a seven foot medium that I love. I actually was throwing it Friday up at Norman and it's funny we started fishing. We went to Norman the other day, Friday, and we caught a bunch of fish but, we never caught any big ones but the first stretch I pulled into and I guess it's because it was early and I picked up a little jerk bait and I picked up five in like six casts. Then I never had a bite on a jerk bait the rest of the day. Shane Lehew: They've been biting early. Matt Arey: Yeah I guess it was an early deal. There wasn't any wind either [crosstalk 00:40:18] day so, I think [crosstalk 00:40:20]. Jeff Walsh: Your roommate just joined us. Matt Arey: My roommate? My roommate is my wife. Jeff Walsh: Oh. Matt Arey: Hammerberry, is Hammerberry on? My roommate on the road. I got you. Hammerberry's on so that's cool. What's up Scott? Buddy Black's watching, what's up Buddy? Thanks for tuning in. Craig Chambers must've tuned in because Kylie Weston mentioned that he said the real deal [crosstalk 00:40:46]. The crap taking's already started. If y'all don't know what we're talking about, Craig finished second behind Hank Cherry and his tournament partner this past weekend. They both cracked a giant bag of fish. Anytime you crack 16 pounds on Norman, that's good but they both cracked over 18. Pretty awesome. How are the rest of the weights on the Winter Trail Tournament? Shane Lehew: I think Sunday they were really good. Matt Arey: Okay. Isn't that funny. Shane Lehew: I didn't fish this weekend so I don't really know. Matt Arey: So Hank's lucky that you just decided to sit out? Shane Lehew: No, no. I haven't caught 18 and a half pounds in I'm not sure. Last year. Matt Arey: Shane took me to Norman one time and we won a tournament. Thrift was fishing that tournament too, I just wanna throw that in there. Shane Lehew: We won by a couple pounds. Matt Arey: We won by a couple pounds, we had 18 something and you know that joker ain't invited me back to a fishing tournament with him since. Can you believe that Jake? Jake Whitaker: I believe it. Matt Arey: Do you believe it? Jake Whitaker: I can believe that. Shane Lehew: Grandpa won't let me fish with anybody anymore. Matt Arey: Oh, is that what it is? Shane Lehew: Yeah. I'm fine with it. I'm the net man now. Matt Arey: He'll beat you on your own juice. Shane Lehew: Yeah he will. Matt Arey: Gotcha. Shane Lehew: I just hold the dipper, that's it. Matt Arey: Kevin Clark said have you guys ever experimented with the single hooks to replace treble hooks? Absolutely 150% no. I don't say that being a smart butt but, if I could throw three hooks, I'll never throw a single hook. If I could put a treble hook on my jig, I'd probably do it but, keep it from getting hung up you know? That's not going to happen. What about y'all? Jake Whitaker: No. Matt Arey: I imagine if there's any bait in your box that has treble hooks on it, you're not going to switch it out to a single one. Jake Whitaker: It's going to keep trebles. Matt Arey: Yeah, it's going to keep trebles. Yeah Micheal Cate, that is a good rod, that seven eleven Losemount Crush all purpose six five to one. Awesome for jerk baits. Absolutely. Benjamin Ought's watching, appreciate it Benjamin. What reel and rod do you guys use for chatter bait setup? We're getting a lot of rod and reel setup questions tonight. Matt Arey: I'm a seven three medium heavy, similar to what my spinner bait setup was before. Now I do like ... because it's so hard for me to slow down sometimes and I get a lot more bites on a chatter bait when I tend to slow it down but, sometimes I have to go to a lower gear ratio reel so I'll go to a six eight one or six three one. That's what I'll throw mine on is a seven three medium heavy. What about y'all? Jake Whitaker: Seven two medium heavy. Matt Arey: Seven two? Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: So very similar. Shane Lehew: Yeah, seven three medium heavy or if I'm fishing heavy grass I'll go to a seven six medium heavy actually a lot now. Matt Arey: Okay. To pop it loose easier where you don't have to work as hard. Shane Lehew: Yeah, yep. Matt Arey: It makes sense. Jeff Mackey said to tell you to tell grandpa that the secret bait smoked him on Mountain Island on Sunday. It's out now, what's the secret bait? Shane Lehew: I don't even know. Matt Arey: Oh my gosh. Shane Lehew: Like I have no idea. Matt Arey: Can you believe this? Do you believe this? Shane Lehew: I think he came in the tackle store when grandpa was working, grandpa just let it all out. Just told everybody. Matt Arey: Probably something y'all sell huh? Shane Lehew: Yeah, something we got in the store. Matt Arey: Of course. Jake Whitaker: Just everybody knows ... Matt Arey: So you sell it but you won't tell us what it is? Shane Lehew: I really don't know, I don't know what Jeff bought. Jake Whitaker: I spent two years at UNC Charlotte with Shane and nothing's changed. Matt Arey: He's not Thrift status, but he's like a hybrid. He's got a little Thrift blood in him. A little tight lipped. Cobb's always ... he's just been straight up forward and honest and... Shane Lehew: Yeah, that's why we work well together. Matt Arey: Because he gives you everything and you give him nothing. That's a pretty good relationship for you because he's still ... he still catches them and then you catch them. Shane Lehew: Yeah, he figures them out in practice because I never do. Matt Arey: Yeah, if ain't broke. Jake Whitaker: Same. Matt Arey: Don't try to fix it right? What kind of braid do y'all use? Brian I use the P line TCB braid. I use the eight carrier for my spinning rods, I usually use 15 pound and one thing I do on braid with spinning rods is I'm always using something that's a vis color whether it's a chartreuse or white or whatever it is. What I use is a high vis yellow, it's kind of like a chartreuse color. That's because whether I'm wacky worming or even drop shot, it doesn't matter, I just always like to know exactly where my liter starts and know exactly where I can see my line and fishing a shaky head when there's a little bow in it, I can just pick up on it a lot easier. Maybe it's because I'm older than y'all too. I don't know, my eyesight's getting bad but, what about y'all? Jake Whitaker: I like the high vis but, I'm also just joined P line. Matt Arey: Awesome, well welcome aboard Jake and we know you're a Berkley guy but what size ... is that what he is? He just wanted to know what kind of braid. So you're using ... Shane Lehew: There's new braid coming out and honestly I used to be P line or PowerPro guy for braid. Matt Arey: Okay, yep. And PowerPro is good too. Shane Lehew: Yep. They've come out with a new braid that's very similar to those so I feel real comfortable with it. One's a slicker braid like what you talked about, it's called the X9 then there's more course braid kind of like PowerPro. Matt Arey: Yep. Shane Lehew: And that's what I tend to lean towards just for comfort is that X5. Matt Arey: But you like the slicker stuff on your spinning reels and things like that? Shane Lehew: I throw ... nope. Matt Arey: Really? Shane Lehew: X5. Matt Arey: You like the stiffer stuff? Shane Lehew: Yep. Matt Arey: Okay. Now why is that? Shane Lehew: I don't know, just have always been comfortable with it [crosstalk 00:45:59] and I throw 10 most of the time. Matt Arey: Yeah, I'll throw 10 a lot. Shane Lehew: So I don't lose casting that much. Matt Arey: The only reason I throw 15 is because a lot of times I'm using an eight pound liter and sometimes I'm using a 10 pound liter. I hate using a six pound liter I know guys on the west coast are big with lighter liters but, I always like ... my diameter of my line, the better that they match up I always feel like the better that knot cinches down. You know what I mean? Jake Whitaker: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Matt Arey: If you got a six pound flora and a 65 pound braid, you try to tie that knot, I just don't trust it. The closer you can get in the diameters of line, when you're tying a knot, I always think that that's better. Better for longevity and strength, both. Matt Arey: I saw a question about am I going to be down at fishing at Bass Open. From Steve Smith, said are you going to be fishing the Bass Open on the Harris chain next week? I'm not fishing in the Opens this year. Just the Elites. Jake you're not fishing the opens are you? Jake Whitaker: No, I'm not. Matt Arey: Okay. And I know you're not fishing in the opens, correct? Are y'all doing any Costas or anything other than the Elite series? Jake Whitaker: No. Matt Arey: Okay, all right. Favorite search bait. That's a good question from Casey Grimm. What y'all's faculty search bait just when you go out looking for a bite trying to find a group of fish? Favorite search bait? I mean there's a lot of them out there but if you could pick one Shane? Shane Lehew: Mine would be some type of crank bait or top water just depend on what time of year. Matt Arey: Okay, yeah. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Matt Arey: Same? Jake Whitaker: This time of year jerk bait for me. Matt Arey: Yeah, jerk bait's always a good way just to get a bit whether it's from a runt or a giant. Jake Whitaker: Yep. Matt Arey: And you can cover a lot of water with it. It'll work you a little harder than a crank bait sometimes but, I'm with Shane, I love throwing, certain times of year I like throwing a buzz bait or a plopper or something like that, that I could cover a lot of water with fast. Or sometimes a little old bandit 200 or something that you know will get a bite that you can cover a lot of water with very quickly. Matt Arey: Logan Taylor, I have not thrown the Fritz Lou's crank and stick yet but, I've got several of the ledge series rods that just came in from Lou's. Some of the Mark Row signature stuff. I haven't got a chance to throw them yet but, I'll be using them here soon. They feel good and I just got my reels on them and got them lined up. I'm excited to get out and test them. Matt Arey: Super cold water, Ron Montgomery said, this is a good question for you Shane. Super cold water, let's just say it's clear for argument sake, best retrieve for an Alabama rig, blades or no blades? Shane Lehew: I usually always go blades. Matt Arey: You always go blades no matter how clear the water is? Shane Lehew: Most of the time I do. Now if it's slick, calm, super clear, then yeah you can go no blades but, slower the better. I always feel like [crosstalk 00:48:41] especially with the cold, yeah. Matt Arey: Yeah, I agree. Are you an Alabama rigger Jake? Jake Whitaker: No. Matt Arey: Okay. Jake Whitaker: I don't like them. Matt Arey: I'm not either that's why directed that ... he didn't address Shane in particular but that's why I shot that question over to him. Baits, what baits do you guys throw on a five four to one reel when you go to a five four to one, what baits are you throwing on that gear ratio? Jake Whitaker: Crank baits but, I'm still ... Matt Arey: But mainly big stuff or all ... Jake Whitaker: Yeah, big stuff but I'm still a low sixes. I don't ... Matt Arey: Right. Jake Whitaker: The five four is great for the big, big 10XDs, that kind of stuff. But, for whatever reason, I'm still [crosstalk 00:49:24]. Matt Arey: That's the only time I've thrown a fiver four and I've got a couple of them, and it's for really only two or three baits out there. One is a big giant swim bait head like an ounce to an ounce and a half. Something that I'm wanting to crawl on the bottom. It forces me to keep it on the bottom as opposed to picking it up too quick in a 10XD. Or some of the giant crank baits like the old dirty 30 by Mann. [crosstalk 00:49:48]. That old dirty 30, the big giant crank baits but, other than that I'm like Jake, I'm a six to one guy. Shane Lehew: I'm the same, yeah. Matt Arey: Do you use any five to ones Shane? Shane Lehew: I've actually just got some wenches in, the five four to one and I played with it a little bit but, I think ... I feel like that six three or whatever for shallow diving crank bait and I haven't been deep cranking with one yet but ... Matt Arey: Right. Shane Lehew: But that's exactly what I think it will be good for. Matt Arey: Okay. Shane Lehew: Six and ten XD, stuff like that. Matt Arey: All right. Brad Williams said he's buying his first boat. What are the key things I should be looking for? Honestly, looking beyond obviously good price. Shane Lehew: Make sure it floats. Matt Arey: Yeah, make sure it floats. I don't know what you're in the market for Brad but, Angler's Choice, they're unmatched in my opinion with customer service and not just taking care of you before the sale but, having a good service department and people that you know are going to be there for you after the sale. That's one thing that Angler's Choice has always impressed me with is they'll take good care of you. They got good mechanics at all locations. That's the one thing that I take a lot of pride in is just knowing that I'm going to be well taken care of after I purchase a boat. You can buy the same boat at a lot of different locations but you won't get the same service and that's the deciding factor for me. What about y'all? Jake Whitaker: And I've got to go back on what you said about Angler's Choice, I just joined those guys this year and just the short time that I've dealt with them, they have been nothing but great to me and I have 100% confidence they'd do that for anybody else out there, not just us. Matt Arey: It's an awesome group of people man. I tell you. What time we getting to Jeff? Shane Lehew: 7:53. Matt Arey: 7:53. We do have two giveaways tonight. Did I do that right? Two giveaways tonight. We have two different questions. I don't even know what one of the questions is because Jeff came up with it and he pretty much gave me the look that don't you dare ask it because this is my deal. Jeff Walsh: No, it's a fishing question. It's not hard. Matt Arey: It's probably something making fun of me or something. That's why you won't tell me what it is. Jeff Walsh: I don't have to ask it. Matt Arey: All right. Anthony Randal said, will get to the questions here in about five minutes guys. Thanks for tuning in, we're up to 300 something viewers tonight which is awesome. Jake and Shane have been great guests. Keeps shooting your questions here we got time for a few more questions. Anthony said that's a huge liter, I like six and eight pound liter with an FG knot. Matt Arey: Very rarely do I go to six. I use eight a lot, very rarely do I go to six. Do y'all every use six pound liters much anymore? A lot of the places we go don't really dictate that we have to use stuff that small. Jake Whitaker: No. Shane Lehew: No, I use it some. I did at St. Clair actually on my drop shot and I think I was actually [crosstalk 00:52:35] visually seeing fish. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Shane Lehew: Eating Mayflies and stuff and there was a ton of boats around me. Jake Whitaker: Yep. Shane Lehew: I think there was two keys. One was that new flat worm from Berkley actually Cobb was begging me for. I had 19 and a half pounds in like 13 minutes. He's like all right, that's it, just come bring me some now. Jake Whitaker: Give me some worms. Shane Lehew: Yeah. I think also it was the six pound liter that I got a few more bites than everybody else. You could see, it was slick calm that second day. Matt Arey: Yeah, and I could see that in super clear water and super high pressure situations, especially when there's a lot of money on the line. Last thing I wanna do is go down to six pound line when I'm dealing with four pound small mouth but ... Shane Lehew: It was testy but you just take your time. Matt Arey: You're not going to land them if you don't hook them. Shane Lehew: No. That's right. Matt Arey: That's a good way to look at. Go to confidence baits Elijah Brown said ... What was that? Shane Lehew: I think he's looking for the mouse already. Jake Whitaker: Yeah. Shane Lehew: He just ate something off the top. Matt Arey: We got to talking about mice. Shane Lehew: Look at him. Matt Arey: He does see something, it's the bubbles, he's trying to attack the bubbles from the aerator in there isn't he? Your confidence bait, Elijah Brown wants to know y'all's confidence bait. Number one confidence bait. Jake you first. Jake Whitaker: 100% after the bass get done spawning, it's a frog, 100%. Matt Arey: A frog? That your confidence bait, I like it. Jake Whitaker: 100%. Matt Arey: I like it. Shane? Shane Lehew: Mine's either going to be a jig or a shaky head. Matt Arey: I know what Bryan would say but, I'm not going to say it because this will be the first show in the history of us talking fish where that was not mentioned. So we're not going to mention it. [crosstalk 00:54:04] He can talk about it next week for an hour if he wants to, he'll be back. Shane Lehew: I know what he would say too. Matt Arey: Bryan will be back next week. We have a couple surprises for you guys in store. One is we'll have some mice to feed Mr. Wilson and two, we get to hear Thrift talk about his third place finishes in Rayburn and how they smashed them down there, and I mean smashed them like not just catching big ones, but catching tons of fish. It'll be a great show next Tuesday. Let's see, James Wiley, Mark Rose went to MFL, Ben answered your question for you. He was wondering where Rose went. Matt Arey: He did go to the BPT. Let's see, T.J. O'Connor, we got a couple references tonight for our Angler's Choice Marine guys, thanks for tuning in T.J. verified what Jake and I both said, buy from ACM and they do take good care of you after the sale. Keep on rolling. Kevin said Angler's Choice are excellent, they treated me great. Dell Phillips, I'm impressed with Angler's Choice, man we didn't have to say anything about Angler's Choice, all the viewers

Their success has landed them ranked among the top anglers in the world. If you're looking to become a better angler then this show has all the answers. Join us and follow along to get actionable tips, tactics, and tried and true techniques directly from the pros. Welcome to Let's Talk Fish. Matt Arey: Alright, guys. We are back in studio. Happy New Year. Bryan Thrift: What's up? Matt Arey: Happy New Year to everybody. Bryan Thrift: Yes, Happy New Years, everyone. Matt Arey: Merry Christmas. We didn't get to tell anyone Merry Christmas. Bryan Thrift: No, we didn't. We missed Christmas, but we made it for New Year's. Matt Arey: I'm not gonna be able to take you seriously- Bryan Thrift: Yep. Peep the flat bill. Let's go ahead, get it out in the open. Fitzgerald Rods flat bill. Starting a new year with a flat bill that probably not gonna end with it, but I'm gonna start with it. Matt Arey: You need to wear it in your first tournament. Bryan Thrift: First tournament flat bill. Matt Arey: If you roll out and you win the tournament, you gonna be wearing it the rest of the year. Like the intro, thanks Chris, and thanks, Jeff. Bryan Thrift: Yes, Jeff. That was an excellent job on the- Jeff Walsh: Do you know how hard it is to put an intro with almost no content? Matt Arey: We could've used that as our trivia question tonight. We could've said, "Whose voice is that narrating the new intro video?" Bryan Thrift: I don't know. Matt Arey: I wonder if anybody could've guessed that. Jeff Walsh: Well the thing was I sent it out to like five different people, like professionals, it just didn't sound right so. I just laid it down for 'em like I wanted it and [crosstalk 00:01:38] Matt Arey: Can't get it done right, do it yourself, right? So that is What is Bryan Wearing? Bryan Thrift: Everybody loves the flat bill. Matt Arey: That is a flat bill. Bryan Thrift is wearing a flat bill. Bryan Thrift: I want all of y'all to know this is the very first time in my life I've ever worn a flat bill hat. I feel like I wear it pretty well. Matt Arey: Whatever. No comment. Intro was good. I hope y'all do like the new intro. I was pretty jacked when Jeff sent it to me, and it took me a minute, and I listened to it and I said, "Wait a minute. I think that's Jeff's voice." Bryan Thrift: That's what I thought. Matt Arey: What was awesome was when I was in the back room with all the technology spread is, his computer spread back there, and he was- Jeff Walsh: I'll bust out my spread one day. I'll show everybody where the magic happens one day. Matt Arey: Jeff was asking me. He said well what do you think about this? And he went through it and instead of me reading it or something like that, he was doing it in his radio voice. But while he was doing it, he was like- Bryan Thrift: Throw in the body language. Matt Arey: He had to do it with his hands. Hey, lovin' Let's Talk Fish. It's not near as funny when I do it as when Jeff does it. Bryan Thrift: No, it was not. I've already seen a question about ... Let me see where it was at. Matt Arey: Not a good look, Thrifty. Was that the one? Bryan Thrift: There's a lotta comments on the flat bill. Yeah, it's the flat bill. Anyways. About the frog. I've already seen a comment on that. Matt Arey: What frog? Bryan Thrift: From Alan Roberts, our frog question we posed to all of y'all to kind of determine the winner of Myth or Not a Myth. Matt Arey: Myth or Not a Myth. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Myth or Not a Myth. And Alan Roberts says he trimmed one leg on a frog. Didn't see a change. So- Matt Arey: But I bet Alan Roberts can already walk a frog regardless. That's not who it's geared towards. Bryan Thrift: Did you get on our page and see the votes to see what won? Could you tell us who the winner is please? Jeff Walsh: Jesse Stanley said Fish Bone Thugs and Harmony. Bryan Thrift: Ay. Don't knock Bone Thugs. I used to rock 'em in the 90s. Matt Arey: Yeah, I think Travis did say ... He said did Thrift really say that. Travis I do think Thrift said, "Peep da flat bill." Bryan Thrift: I didn't say peep. Surely. Matt Arey: You said, "I'm peepin' the flat bill." Bryan Thrift: No. Matt Arey: Yeah. I'm pretty sure you said. Bryan Thrift: I said rockin' the flat bill. Matt Arey: I think you said peep. Bryan Thrift: Or wearing. I didn't say peep the flat bill. I know I didn't say that. Matt Arey: Just because more people on the poll agreed with Thrift doesn't mean that it's right. Jeff Walsh: 123-85. Matt Arey: 123-85. Bryan Thrift: In whose favor? Jeff Walsh: Myth. Matt Arey: It is a myth or not a myth? Jeff Walsh: Is a myth. Matt Arey: 123 said it is a myth. 85 said it's not a myth. Jeff Walsh: Yes. Bryan Thrift: So I am the winner- Matt Arey: Well I just got into the 123 people- Jeff Walsh: And then Savage Adam added and got 8 votes that it's physics. Matt Arey: Exactly. It's all about the physics. It's common- Bryan Thrift: So I'm the winner? Matt Arey: No. 123 people just found out they're wrong. Bryan Thrift: No, it's a myth. It's a myth. I am the winner. Jeff Walsh: There's always two ways to look at somethin'. Bryan Thrift: By a landslide. You sound like you want to do a recount. Do you want to do a vote recount? Matt Arey: I have to look down. When you're talking to me tonight, I gotta look down. I can't look at you. I mean am I lying, Jeff? I mean look at him. Jeff Walsh: I think it's awesome. Bryan Thrift: You can't take your eyes off of me. Don't like, Matt. Matt Arey: Yeah, that's what it is. Alright. Let's see. Tonight's topics. We have a Sam Rayburn preview that we'll get into a little bit later. But let's talk about, and we want to hear y'all's, your most memorable moments of 2018. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: Bryan and I are gonna share our top three. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, we'll start with our top three. Then let's hear some of y'all's. Matt Arey: Yeah, I demand a recount. Thanks, Bill. I demand a recount. Bryan Thrift: There's no need. Matt Arey: Alright so- Bryan Thrift: It was by like a 30% margin. So that's a landslide. In politics anyway. Matt Arey: It's simple physics. Alright, Bryan. Number one on your list. Bryan Thrift: My stand is falling- Matt Arey: Number three on your list. We'll do a countdown. Number three on your list. We'll go 3 2 1. Bryan Thrift: Number three on my list? Matt Arey: Most memorable moment of 2018. And it's been a heck of a year. Bryan Thrift: It was a good year. 2018 was a great year. My third most memorable moment was winning the Angler of the Year in the Southeast coast of series this year. 'Cause it happened at [Santee 00:06:09], that was the last event of the year. We had to go to Cumberland the very next ... Like I had to leave straight from Santee, drive to Cumberland, miss a day of practice, and I ... Matt Arey: I knew you had to throw that in there. Mr. [inaudible 00:06:20] still won a tournament. Bryan Thrift: I almost threw a fish back at Santee just so I wouldn't miss a day of practice and Cumberland. If ... Somebody said, "You know you're gonna win Angler of the Year?" I was like oh really, that's awesome. He's like, "Yeah, I think Wes Logan was in second." If I would've thrown one back, Wes would have won. I kept my fish and won Angler of the Year. Matt Arey: Poor Wes. You should've thrown one. Bryan Thrift: No. Matt Arey: Should've tossed one. No, Brock. Your eyes are absolutely perfect. Let's see. Vernon said bring [inaudible 00:06:56] flat bill. That's awesome. Bryan Thrift: Let's see I told you to- Matt Arey: Kyle, I'm with you, dude. I'm with you, brother. Bryan Thrift: I can't even look at- [crosstalk 00:07:05] Matt Arey: I'm either been lookin' down or lookin' at y'all. Or lookin' at Jeff. Bryan Thrift: Hey. The flat bill has done what it's designed to do. Make people talk about it. That was what it was designed to do. Matt Arey: Hurt people's eyes. Make 'em blind. Alright. Let's see. My number three. Bryan Thrift: Number three for Matt. Matt Arey: Number three was my daughter turning one. My youngest daughter, our second daughter, our last child, we ... That's our plan, anyway. Turning one year old this year. That was pretty special 'cause time flies, and Bryan you'll find out pretty soon that you blink and your kids are grown up, but I mean I have a six year old and a one year old now. One that's pushing two. She's actually 19 months now, but they're everything to me. And celebrating her first birthday, being able to be home for that was very important to me. Number- Bryan Thrift: Number two. Matt Arey: Number two for you, Bryan. Bryan Thrift: Alright. Number two for me, obviously, was winning Lake Cumberland tour event. That was my sixth tour [crosstalk 00:08:06]- Matt Arey: Which just so happened to be right after- Bryan Thrift: The week after I won Angler of the Year so. So three and two happen in kind of the same week. Matt Arey: And we say it all the time. I know I sound like a broken record, but- Bryan Thrift: Get on a roll. Matt Arey: How important is momentum in our sport. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: Proof's in the pudding right there. Bryan Thrift: Exactly. Matt Arey: Alright. Number two for me was ... I started off, as everybody knows, typically if I start off at Okeechobee, I usually start off with a pretty darn bad finish. This year was no different. I came out of Okeechobee at like- Bryan Thrift: We both did. Matt Arey: I don't even remember where I finished. Bryan Thrift: It went good. Matt Arey: It's like 100th place or worse. I don't even want to look, but it was bad. I know I weighed in one bass the second day. I was way up in check range the first day. Like 35th place or something. Matt Arey: Alright well going into the Harris [chain 00:08:52], which was our second event in the state of Florida, I knew that I needed to turn things around pretty quickly 'cause with a bad bomb in Okeechobee, two bombs is pretty hard to climb out of that. First day I weigh in a lousy 9lbs at Harris Chain. I'm in the 126th place. Second day, it was kind of a make or break day. That turned my whole season around. We talked about momentum a minute ago. Second day I weighed in almost 19lbs. The first fish I caught on my second cast that morning was a 6 1/2 pounder. From that moment on, it turned- Bryan Thrift: You knew it was gonna be a good day after that. Matt Arey: Everything flew. It was a great day. Could've been an unbelievable day until my [coiner 00:09:32] caught an 8-12 right behind me. I'm not normally we say well I probably won't catch a fish, but I was fishing a small area, a small grass bed. I was going back and forth, back and forth. But anyway, it was ... That was a turning point for my whole season and my- Bryan Thrift: So what did you change up from day two versus day one? Matt Arey: Same general area. Bryan Thrift: Same area. Matt Arey: I got a little bit more dialed in. I actually ... This is something we keep mentioning our membership site that we're gonna be launching soon which I'm very excited about because we're gonna be able to let people in on some really detailed secret- Bryan Thrift: Specific type- Matt Arey: Specifics. Bryan Thrift: Grade A stuff. Matt Arey: This is one of those specifics. As I was fishing through there the first day ... You know, I made a mistake in practice in going through this area the first day, and I don't want to get too carried away about talking about this, and I got a few bites in this area pretty quick so I kind of left it, took off, and there was some other boats. Suddenly it might be crowded during tournament. Semi-crowded during tournament. Wasn't terrible. Could've been worse. But the first day of tournament, the mistake that I made in practice was not really dialing into how the grass laid out in this area. And exactly where the holes and the ditches and different things were. Matt Arey: Well the first day as I was fishing through there and getting bites, the sun popped out, and I would mark every channel and ditch that was in those grass beds. I had it all mapped out to where I could make those precise casts the second day, and that made all the difference in the world. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: I did make a bait change. I went to a bigger bait the second day, too. Bryan Thrift: Which was? Matt Arey: We might save that for a better day. Bryan Thrift: No. Matt Arey: It was a bigger soft plastic bait, but it has some- Bryan Thrift: It had a worm like- Matt Arey: It had something added to it, yep. Had a little something added to it. Bryan Thrift: There you go. Matt Arey: Had a little sweetness added to it. So that was my number two. Bryan, did you do your ... You did your number two. What's your number one? Bryan Thrift: My number one most memorable moment of 2018 definitely when my second son was born. Cooper was born June 12th. Everything went great with the birth. Him, the wife were both healthy. Everybody's doing good. So that was definitely my most memorable moment. Matt Arey: Ight so Cooper being born, absolutely. Hands down- Bryan Thrift: Bill Williams said if I pull my hoodie up that a 7/11 will close. I don't wanna ... I guess I look like a thug. Matt Arey: Pretty much, yeah. Bryan Thrift: Let's try this. Where's my hood at? I can't even find it? There it is. Oh yeah. Matt Arey: I don't- Bryan Thrift: How's that? Matt Arey: You're not- Bryan Thrift: I gotta look down and squint like this. Matt Arey: All the convenience areas in Shelby are closing. Alright. Todd Goats and his daughter committing to play softball. That's pretty awesome. Congrats, Todd. Buying land in Tennessee and starting to build a home. So I've seen Todd's ... I hadn't seen the rest of them, though. Bryan Thrift: What? Matt Arey: I asked people to throw in their top 3 most- Bryan Thrift: I've seen several. Matt Arey: Have you seen several? Okay. Bryan Thrift: I've seen several. Matt Arey: Well address 'em when you see 'em. I haven't- Bryan Thrift: James [Climpack 00:12:28], he says making the tough man championship after not fishing tournaments for 20 years was one of his- Matt Arey: Tough man championship? Oh, when he said that, I- Bryan Thrift: I don't know if that's fightin' or fishin'. [crosstalk 00:12:40] Matt Arey: Tough man championship. Bryan Thrift: Either way, that's awesome. Matt Arey: Is that like mixed martial arts? That's pretty cool. Regardless. Fishing or- Bryan Thrift: Either way. Matt Arey: Vernon Camp said there goes the neighborhood. There you go. Congrats, Ryan. Ryan Montgomery says his most memorable was finding out the wife's pregnant with a girl. Thrift Thuganomics. Bryan Thrift: Thuganomics. There you go. Matt Arey: Alright. Bryan Thrift: All I wanna know ... I don't really wanna know, but this just like proves my point like I said earlier. The flat bill is doing its job. Everybody's lookin' at it, taking notice. Matt Arey: We're still getting people that are getting on ... I think we're climbing viewers. I think people are probably sharing this- Bryan Thrift: Just because of the flat bill. Matt Arey: Just so people can see Thrift is a flat bill. Bryan Thrift: This is the first time ever in 39 years that I've wore a flat bill hat. Matt Arey: That's the first time you've worn a hat on the show period, I think. Bryan Thrift: That is true. Matt Arey: No, you wore that old [Damiki 00:13:36] hat a few times. Bryan Thrift: I've worn my Damiki hat a couple times. Matt Arey: Like ten years ago. Let's see. Bryan Thrift: Alright. Matt Arey: Matt Cally said careful fellers. Gonna offend some snowflakes out there. Bryan Thrift: How we gonna do that? Matt Arey: We're not trying to. I promise. Catch the lures. That's Jodie, right? Isn't that Jodie? Bryan Thrift: Yes, that is Jodie. Matt Arey: [crosstalk 00:13:58] remember in 2018 it was him and James [Dire 00:13:59] finishing second the CBC championship on Lake Wiley. Bryan Thrift: Good job, fellas. Matt Arey: Awesome Buchanan said fishing the FLW College Series on Lake Gunnersville. I bet that was fun. Bryan Thrift: We're gonna have to put a new vote up after this show. Like, flat bill or no flat bill. Matt Arey: Geez louise. Can I vote like a hundred times? Bryan Thrift: It's mixed. Matt Arey: It's not mixed. I don't think anybody is wanting you to- Bryan Thrift: I think they're just denying. Matt Arey: If anybody's voting for you to wear a flat bill it's because they think it's funny. Bryan Thrift: Exactly. It is funny. I think it's funny. Do y'all think it's funny? Matt Arey: Did I do my number one? Bryan Thrift: No you did not. Go to your number one, Matt. Matt Arey: Number one most memorable moment for me in 2018 and it was kind of surreal because Jimmy Houston and myself and Scott Canterbury have all represented Shell brands the last few years so we've done promotions together, worked together throughout the last three or four years, but I got to spend a few days at his ranch. We took some VIP people from Shell and whatnot fishing, but I got to film a show as Jimmy's guest out there on one of his- Bryan Thrift: That is awesome. Matt Arey: Private lakes on his ranch, and it's some of the same lakes that I watched when I was 8, 9, and 10 years old that they used to shoot shows on, and that was kind of surreal for me, but that was definitely one of my top most memorable moments for 2018. That was a lot of fun. That show should air sometime this summer I think, maybe. I'll try to ... I need to find when that's gonna come on. Matt Arey: Alright so those are our top six, top three a piece. Goes great with cargo shorts. Actually. Bryan Thrift: It's actually almost warm enough today to break the cargo shorts back out. Matt Arey: Yeah, no kidding. Bryan Thrift: It really was. Matt Arey: Got a little heatwave. It's like ... It was low 60s here today, wasn't it? The Watson or Wheeler across from Matt. Yeah. Old school hat over the flat bill, Christmas said he'd rather me wear the yellow old school hat over the flat bill. We might could make that happen. Bryan Thrift: Right there it is. Go get it. Jeff Walsh: Trey Dotson's watching. I just wanna tell him thank you again because- Matt Arey: Oh yeah, Trey's on. Jeff Walsh: That basket of nuts right there on that table- Bryan Thrift: Delicious. Jeff Walsh: Is amazing. Matt Arey: It is. There's some espresso. Not expresso. Espresso. Jeff Walsh: I ate 3,000 of them last night. Bryan Thrift: Expresso. Matt Arey: These little jokers right here, dude. They're ... So what is this exactly? It's a chocolate candy coated espresso bean? Jeff Walsh: Yeah. Matt Arey: Amazing. Jeff Walsh: They're good. Bryan Thrift: I disagree. Matt Arey: Somebody asked us, does that hat still have the tags or stickers on it? Bryan Thrift: I don't think so. Does it? Matt Arey: Does it have one under the bill or anything? Bryan Thrift: It had a sticker right here, and I pulled it off. Matt Arey: You should've left it. Bryan Thrift: I didn't know if protocol on a flat bill, but I'm used to everything else I pull the stickers off. Matt Arey: Justin Jones said winning a tournament on Father's Day with his dad. Bryan Thrift: That is awesome. Matt Arey: Very memorable moment. Let's see. Yeah, Blake, it was awesome fishing with Brad Stout. Absolutely. Disney World. Chris Hart's watching from Disney World. Tell Mickey we said what's up. Bryan Thrift: That is awesome. Matt Arey: And Minnie. Don't leave Minnie out. And Goofy. And Donald. Bryan Thrift: Raymond Jones says his most memorable moment was catching a 7-12 in the Seminole Coast of Behind Me. That's awesome. Matt Arey: Behind you as in he was your co-angler. Bryan Thrift: I don't remember. Matt Arey: Or he was another boater that went in behind you. Bryan Thrift: Elaborate. Matt Arey: Either way, it's awesome. Bryan Thrift: Either way, it's awesome, yes. Matt Arey: Yeah, that was cool. Yeah, I remember Chris [crosstalk 00:17:27] Bryan Thrift: Allie has requested some of the expresso- Matt Arey: We're fresh out, Allison. Sorry about that. Bryan Thrift: I got you, honey. I'll bring 'em. Look, I got this whole flat bill. I'll fill it up with 'em. To the top. Jeff Walsh: I got two more bags at my house. Matt Arey: Oh alright so just quick little housekeeping, we're probably off next week. Bryan will be at his first FLW tour event. Kicks off ... When are you leaving, Friday? Bryan Thrift: I'm leaving Friday to go to Rayburn. Matt Arey: What's that, a 20 hour drive? Bryan Thrift: I think so. I haven't looked yet. That sounds about right. Matt Arey: He'll be gone all next week. You'll be back the following ... You'll be back. Bryan Thrift: Possibly the following Tuesday. Depends on how traffic traveling goes is gonna be the thing. Matt Arey: If ... which you'll probably end up making the top ten so you'll fish through Sunday. Bryan Thrift: Hopefully. Matt Arey: If for some reason you don't, you'll start traveling home Sunday? Bryan Thrift: Depends. Depends. Matt Arey: Well, we'll plan to have a show and it'll be a Sam Rayburn wrap up for Thrift. A week from Tuesday. If I can round up maybe a special guest or two, I might try to throw a show together for next week. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, I think you should. Matt Arey: We'll see what Jeff's got rolling next week too. Bryan Thrift: Here's kind of a fishing question. Jonathon Carter says, "What's your favorite rattletrap for cold dirty water?" Matt Arey: Favorite rattletrap for cold dirty water? Bryan Thrift: And I assume by rattletrap he means just rattle type bait. Matt Arey: Lipless crank baits? Bryan Thrift: Yeah, lipless crank bait. Matt Arey: Alright. You wanna hit on that since you picked the question? Bryan Thrift: I can, and it's funny you should ask that. Matt Arey: It is funny he asked that 'cause he brought- Bryan Thrift: I have a whole box of 'em right here. I actually made a post on Instagram today, this is my box of Damiki trimmers. But cold, dirty water, that right there. Red crawfish colored Damiki trimmer 65 cold dirty water. That is my favorite. Matt Arey: Wonder if that box will make an appearance at Rayburn. Bryan Thrift: It will. That was one thing I talked to Matt about. We were kind of throwing ideas back and forth about what could we talk about, what's some topics. I think I threw out like what's a bait you think that's gonna be ... It seems like every year you've got one bait that stands out above others and seems like every year there's one certain style of bait that works everywhere, and you catch a lot of fish on it each year. For me, I feel like 2018's gonna be the year of the Damiki trimmer. I think we've got a lot of- Matt Arey: You didn't say stinger. Bryan Thrift: No, I said trimmer. Damiki trimmer. Matt Arey: That's amazing. Bryan Thrift: Because ... You've gotta think about it. It's a great pre-spawn bait. We're going to some great pre-spawn lakes where rattletrap type baits like the trimmer are kind of good techniques. Maybe we've got Rayburn, we've got Toho, we know they bite the lipless baits there. I think it's gonna be the trimmer for me this year. Matt Arey: Alright. Yeah, and I think what's funny about that is- Bryan Thrift: Is what I'm going with. Matt Arey: We were talking earlier about this year in general probably gonna be a high water power fisherman's paradise with all the rain and the high water levels, I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. If this holds up, our current situation all over the southeast holds up all the way through the spawn and whatnot. Number one, the positive that's gonna come out of it is you're gonna see a really good spawn, I would assume. Matt Arey: The negatives are gonna be- Bryan Thrift: It's gonna change things up. Matt Arey: There might be ... There's gonna be certain lakes, especially the flatter lakes and things like that that you're not gonna be able to access the fish. Bryan Thrift: Right. Exactly. Matt Arey: That's a guarantee. Bryan Thrift: That may be something we see at Rayburn. I know the water level's really high there right now. I think I seen where a lot of ramps are actually closed on Rayburn due to the high water. Matt Arey: Oh really? So it's that high. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: Alright so since you're talking about ... Well let's see. Carson Reiny said he started off by catching 25 fish today. Bryan Thrift: Ooo. That's a good start to the new ... Speaking of that, this is like the first ... This is probably one of the first new years days in the last ten years I haven't went fishing on New Year's Day. Matt Arey: Oh, really? Don't they have a tournament normally on New Year's Day about every year? Bryan Thrift: Yeah, me and David Hendrix used to fish the New Years tournament every year. We won like four in a row, and then we hadn't fished anymore in a while. Matt Arey: Alright. Barrett Kiel asked, any new sponsor deals for the 2019 seasons? The only for sure one I have at this moment is Lou's Fishin'. I am on board and signed on with Lou's. Bryan Thrift: Good deal. Matt Arey: So I'll be using all their rods and reels this year. Bryan, I saw you just- Bryan Thrift: Yeah, I just picked up Catch Commander which is an awesome new set of scales. It allows you to tally your total weight. You know, save it. It tells you which fish to cool. It's awesome deal. Very accurate. I've been playing with them actually since iCast this year. So I've kind of put it through the ringers, made sure it weighs the same on everything every time, and it's a great set of scales. No discrepancies in weight. That's my biggest thing is I want to make sure the scales are gonna do the same thing every time. I've just randomly weighed stuff, weighed fish ten fifteen different times to make sure it shows the same weight every time. Hands down the best scales I've ever used. So I'm looking forward to that. Matt Arey: I just got a couple comments said it took 18lbs to win on [inaudible 00:22:48] day. Bryan Thrift: Ooo. Matt Arey: Matt Haywood won. Does that mean- Bryan Thrift: He carried Tater again? Matt Arey: Does that mean Tater won too? Bryan Thrift: That means Tater netted 18lbs. Matt Arey: That's funny 'cause they both ... They just said Haywood. I didn't hear Tater's name in there. Matt Arey: Oh, Jeff Fox, absolutely. He said are you gonna have a combo of special guests from FLW and BASS in future shows? Yeah, and we've done that in the past. Even when Bryan and I were both fishing FLW, we had- Bryan Thrift: We still- Matt Arey: We've had Jacob. We went on the show. We've had Hank Cherry on the show. Then we had Brandon Cobb. We've had Davey Williams. We've had definitely a mix of FLW. We had Andy Montgomery on the show who's MLF now. So we're definitely gonna still have a mix of special guests throughout the year, throughout 2019. Alan Coast said the Jordan Lake ramps are closed also. Bryan Thrift: Jordan Lake's closed? Matt Arey: Yeah, they said Jordan's closed. Bryan Thrift: I know this has been the wettest winter I feel like I've ever been around for. I don't think I've ever seen it rain this much. Matt Arey: They set a record in North Carolina for rainfall this year. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Matt Arey: Alright. I saw a couple questions about ... Oh, Alabama or Clemson. Bryan Thrift: What's that mean? Matt Arey: You know, I have to pull for ... Bryan Thrift: What's that mean? 'Ama or Clemson. Matt Arey: Question. Alabama or Clemson question mark. Bryan said, what's that mean? I mean you can't ... Just- Bryan Thrift: What? That's a legitimate question. Matt Arey: What do you mean it's a legitimate question? [crosstalk 00:24:19] Bryan Thrift: It just says 'Ama or Clemson. Matt Arey: You have no idea what that's a reference to, do you? Bryan Thrift: No. I really don't. Matt Arey: Somebody help me now. That is who's playing for the national championship football game. Bryan Thrift: Oh, okay. Matt Arey: Alabama and Clemson. They play ... Bryan Thrift: There you go. Matt Arey: Monday night, actually. This coming Monday. So Alabama or Clemson, Bryan? Bryan Thrift: I have no idea. Matt Arey: I'm gonna pull for Clemson, but I'm gonna say Alabama. I just don't know that Clemson's got enough for Alabama this year. Alright, let's see. Bryan Thrift: You just made a lot of people mad. Matt Arey: I probably did. I said I'm gonna pull for Clemson. I mean, I pull for ACC period, but I just don't feel good about it. Tater finished third today, Kyle said he fished with NASCAR Charlie. Lou's hypermag is the deal, Toby. I just got some of those. I just now picked up some hypermags. I haven't actually gotten to use one yet, but I'm going to the lake. I have not let a line in over two months, Bryan. I'm going to the lake next week, though. Bryan Thrift: Congratulations, Matt. You need to. Hey, I can't say nothin'. Usually I fish a lot in the off season ... Matt Arey: I was gonna say. You ain't fished that- Bryan Thrift: And I have only been fishing like three times since the first week of November. Jeff Walsh: Trey Dotson, I got nothin'. Bryan Thrift: [crosstalk 00:25:45] I don't know why that's surprising. I never got into watching the sports. Matt Arey: Really? Bryan Thrift: No, I really didn't. I don't even- Matt Arey: Noo. Bryan Thrift: I'll tell you why. I've got a good reason why. Hear me out. Matt Arey: This oughta be good. Bryan Thrift: Oh, it is good. [crosstalk 00:26:04] It has to do with NASCAR, but I carried it over to everything. Baseball, football. Alright so picture this. YOu've got a 12 year old Bryan Thrift wants to go fishing on Sunday after church. He can't drive. Somebody's gotta take him. So I want my dad to take me fishing on Sunday after church, and he'd always make me wait 'til after the NASCAR race was over. So I'd sit at the house pissed off 'cause I couldn't go fishing. So from then on, I'd be like nah, I don't want anything to do with it. Jeff Walsh: No sports. Only fishing. Matt Arey: No sports. So because he chose to watch a NASCAR race, you completely threw all the sports out the window. Bryan Thrift: Kinda. Matt Arey: Sounds fair. Bryan Thrift: Like when you're 12 years old and you're sittin' at home mad 'cause you want to go fishing and all you know dad's watching the stupid car race. I can't go fishing. Matt Arey: Oh, I saw a couple questions about Rayburn earlier. Let's do a quick Sam Rayburn preview. You talked about the high water. I know you've got a little insight on the conditions of the lake. It's higher than it's ever been this time of year for a long ... I mean, for a while, right? Bryan Thrift: What? I'm reading comments. Matt Arey: I know. Sam Rayburn preview. Current lake conditions. Talk a little bit about the current lake conditions down there. What's going on? Bryan Thrift: The only thing I know is I looked up the lake level online last night, and it was like six feet over full. I don't know what the exact number was. 170 or 165 or something like that I remember. Matt Arey: I saw Russell Cecil was posting some pictures from one of the roads that parallels Rayburn. It was super, super, super high. Should be an interesting tournament, though. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, and I think that's awesome because it's ... I'm not gonna say it takes locals out of it, but I feel like it diminishes their advantage more. Matt Arey: 100% Bryan Thrift: I mean, anywhere. Kind of like going to ... Like if you've got a tournament ... Like we used to have tour events on Lake Norman in April. Me and Matt would- Matt Arey: Matt and I. Bryan Thrift: Me and Matt. I started going Matt and I, but I did that on purpose. Like we- Matt Arey: It's a new year, man. You need to make a resolution to work on your English. Bryan Thrift: I do it more to get a rise out of you than anything. The Norman tour advance we would have at April, Matt and I would usually get a check and be in the 40-50 range, but we never really were contention to win because most of the fish were up on the bed. Sight fishing played a major factor, and that kind of takes your local advantage out of it. Matt Arey: 100% and so I know it's gonna be really hard to make a weight prediction for that tournament, but Joe Wilkins ... Never gonna happen. I would love to see [inaudible 00:28:45] ran a flat bill myself. He said Thrift got it goin' on. That might be the first comment I've actually seen that was positive towards your flat bill tonight. Matt Arey: So weight predictions for ... Those candy covered espresso beans, I'm telling you, dude. Those things are amazing. Bryan Thrift: Show might go over tonight. Matt's gonna be jacked up on chocolate covered espresso beans. Matt Arey: They were almost at 300 viewers tonight. It's pretty cool. So New Year's Day, everybody celebrating by watching a little Let's Talk Fish live. Rayburn weight predictions. That's a tricky one with the high water and stuff like that. Bryan Thrift: That is a tricky one. Matt Arey: But it's still Rayburn. Bryan Thrift: It's still Rayburn. Lotta giant fish in it. I'm gonna say it's gonna take- Matt Arey: Four days. Bryan Thrift: Four days. I'm gonna go with 78lbs. Matt Arey: Okay. Yeah, I wouldn't say it'd take over 80. Not with the conditions and stuff. I just don't see it. Bryan Thrift: That's what I'm thinking. 78. Matt Arey: Anthony Randal just came in and said 20-23 a day. Bryan Thrift: That's 80 to- Matt Arey: Yeah, you're talking 84-88lbs. Bryan Thrift: It's gonna depend on the weather I think too because you gotta think- Matt Arey: One thing, and I know some guys who lived down there, one thing you can guarantee [crosstalk 00:30:05] at Rayburn in January is you're gonna have wind and a rattletrap's gonna catch some fish somewhere. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: Those two things right there, that's a guarantee. Other than that, I don't know nothing. I'm with you. I would say mid to upper 70s. I'm not fishing it, but there's still big ones. I mean somebody's liable to catch a 10 and an 8 in their bag one day. If somebody- Bryan Thrift: There's gonna be some giants caught. Matt Arey: 28lbs one day. Then they catch 18, 17 whatever. The next thing you know, they got ... They're close to 80lbs. 75. Johnny Large said 75lbs for the win. That'd be pretty darn strong. Bryan Thrift: Yep. Matt Arey: Let's see. Brian Sutton said they want to see Bryan do the floss. Bryan Thrift: Where did that come from? That's not happening. No. Matt Arey: We never thought we'd see you wear a flat bill either. Bryan Thrift: We gotta take baby steps. I've got a flat bill on tonight. We gotta take baby steps. Matt Arey: Water temp at Rayburn ... I don't know the water temp at Rayburn. I'm sure Bryan doesn't because he hasn't been down there so. But it's probably all over the map since it's getting cold and warm and cold. If it's doing anything like it is here, it's probably 50 one week, 45 the next, 55 the next. [crosstalk 00:31:08]. Bryan Thrift: Here's a question from Michael John Leonard. Heaviest bag you've ever weighed in a tournament? Matt Arey: I had one just under 26 at Lake Fort in a TTBC. 25-12. So I've never weighed in anything over that. A bunch of the 20-22lb range. 25-12 is my biggest, in a tournament. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. I had a 30lb 7oz at Santee. That's the biggest. Matt Arey: 30lbs. Bryan Thrift: 30lbs 7oz. Biggest bag I ever weighed in a tournament. Matt Arey: That's a big ole bag. Let's see. There's temperatures coming in right now. 55. Wow, that's warm. 55-60 degrees is the range that I'm getting. So that's crazy warm. That means you'll probably get a blizzard when you're there. Bryan Thrift: Of course. Let's make [inaudible 00:32:07]. Matt Arey: Thrift and Eminem gonna do a duet rap. That would be excellent. Barrett Kiel, absolutely. I cannot wait for that tournament along with several other ones. And I'm looking forward to ... I know some of the guys were complaining about when y'all babying tough last time bass was there, but I'm very much looking forward to that event. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. I love going to places like that- Matt Arey: It's title, Bryan. Wait before you say that. Bryan Thrift: Well not. I was gonna say I Like going places there's not a lot of information out there on that's kind of new on the schedule to everybody. I love going places like ... I love going places I've never been to. That would be fun. Matt Arey: Andrew Clark said looking to get new graphs. What would you guys recommend? Bryan uses Lowrance and Hummingbird. I'm a straight Lowrance guy. Lowrance now. Especially if you're looking to purchase some new stuff now, Lowrance has just launched their new live units this year. Gonna be pretty awesome. The transducers actually aren't even ... They're coming in March so they'll be here in March. Pretty awesome deal. They're mapping detail now. The six inch contours. They can map the lakes live. You know you can do that. It's pretty awesome so I would definitely check out some Lowrance stuff. Matt Arey: Hummingbird's got some good stuff too. There's certain things that Bryan likes to use on the Hummingbird units, but overall I would definitely take a look at that new Lowrance live. Matt Arey: Derick Westfall says Bryan and Matt, what did you guys get for Christmas? What did you get for Christmas? Bryan Thrift: I got- Matt Arey: Tell 'em what ya got Wiley for Christmas, his oldest boy. Bryan Thrift: I got him a BB pistol ... Let me rephrase that. We, me and my wife and Santa Claus- Matt Arey: My wife and I. Bryan Thrift: We got him a BB pistol and a little scooter thing. He really likes the scooter. Jeff Walsh: Not a normal BB pistol. Matt Arey: Did you post a video of that BB pistol? Bryan Thrift: I did post a Facebook video. Matt Arey: Is that on your Instagram? Bryan Thrift: That is a normal. Jeff Walsh: That's not a normal BB pistol. Bryan Thrift: Yes, it has- Matt Arey: Look, I gave my nephew a Red Rider BB gun. That's a normal BB gun for a 7, 8 year old kid. Jeff Walsh: Red Rider does not shoot 300 rounds a second. Matt Arey: It shoots one BB equal to like seven [inaudible 00:34:07]. Bryan Thrift: Well the BB pistol shoot one BB as well. Jeff Walsh: Red Rider's one per minute. Matt Arey: Go to Bryan's Instagram page and look at the BB gun. Bryan Thrift: It is an awesome BB pistol. I think Beretta makes it. It's got a fire selection. You can either do full auto or semi auto. Matt Arey: What'd you get for Christmas? Bryan Thrift: Allie actually got me this cool cutout of Lake Norman. It's like a ... I forget what they call it where you can see the depths. It's made out of wood. Somebody hand made it, and it shows the depths of the woods stacked up and different colors for the different depths. It's pretty neat. That was probably my favorite gift. What about you? Matt Arey: I would say ... My wife got me a pretty cool present and very creative. Jeff knows a little bit about it because I was asking his advice. She went to- Jeff Walsh: I knew you were getting it. Matt Arey: What? Well I'm sure you did. She went to the 99Designs.com people and she ... You pay a fee and you get a bunch of designers to submit a logo. She did it for my [inaudible 00:35:14] fishin'. For my Facebook pages. For logos, trucks, boats, clothes, whatever we need it for. Bryan Thrift: Oh you got a personalized logo? Ooo. Matt Arey: Exactly. Personalized logo. So we got like 40 different designs. We narrowed it down to two, and I think we're making our selection ... Probably making it official. We might've made it official today, but anyway we'll come out with that here in the next few weeks. Bryan Thrift: I guess I need to get a logo. I may be the only professional that doesn't have a logo. Matt Arey: And BT would be easy to work with, but I'm gonna tell you what, man. Bryan Thrift: I've already got a look. We've got the cargo shorts. I guess I- Matt Arey: You've gotta have some kind of logo to put on your cargo shorts. That's what it is. Bryan Thrift: Y'all knock the cargo shorts, but they're convenient. Matt Arey: So we talked about Sam Rayburn late predictions. Bryan Thrift: There's the word I was looking for. Chris Smith says it. Matt Arey: Topography. Bryan Thrift: Topography. That's the word I was looking for- Matt Arey: Topography. Bryan Thrift: Topography of the gift that my wife got me for Christmas. Matt Arey: Rubin asked if we conceal carry on the tour. It's ... Oh, my wife just said it's official. So we have decided. Bryan Thrift: Ooo. Matt Arey: We did make it official. We have the logo. Have the new Matt Arey Fishing logo. Bryan Thrift: Let's debut it tonight for the viewers. Matt Arey: Well, we don't have it yet. It's- Bryan Thrift: She could text it to Jeff and Jeff can throw it up on- Matt Arey: They have to email and ... It's way above your head. Bryan Thrift: I mean, this is 2019. Things can happen quick. Tell 'em, Jeff. Matt Arey: Do you conceal and carry when you're on the road? Bryan Thrift: I may. Matt Arey: I mean, I would want people to know that I had a gun. I'm just saying. As long as it's legal, I would want people to know that I have a gun. I don't know that it ... If you have your permit, is it legal for us to carry one in our boat during the tournament? Bryan Thrift: Not during the ... not in a boat. Matt Arey: I didn't think it was. Bryan Thrift: Nope. Matt Arey: And I never have. Bryan Thrift: Not in the boat. Matt Arey: I didn't think ... When you're not fishing the tournament, it is. Bryan Thrift: I don't know about official practice. Matt Arey: Not official practice. I'm just talking in general. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: You have a conceal carry, you carry it pretty much anywhere I guess. So no. To answer your question, Rubin, it's not in our boats during the tournament. But I'm sure quite a few of us have 'em in our tow vehicles. Matt Arey: Let's see. Kenny Patterson. Thanks for tuning in. He said, "First time watching the show. BTN Matt can't forget the ninja." Huh? Bryan Thrift: Yeah, we need some clarification on that. 'Cause that sounds like pretty beginnings of a good story. Matt Arey: Yeah, Clarence. Let us know. Aggy said dump the flat bill, dude. I'm totally agreeing. Bryan Thrift: Dump the flat bill? No. I'm wearing the flat bill the whole entire show. I may wear it on the show all year. Matt Arey: How many boats ... I've seen this question twice and then James Wiley touched on how many boats will be at Rayburn, how many boats fishing FLW this year. Is it 180? Bryan Thrift: 170. Matt Arey: 170, okay. Bryan Thrift: 170 for the tour this year. Matt Arey: 170 during the tour. Let's see. Oh, Alan said, "Why can't we carry during the tournaments?" That's just tournament rules. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Tournament organization rules. Matt Arey: Anthony asked me how the duck hunt was. Anthony, I almost forgot how much fun it was to duck hunt. I haven't been in ... I looked at my duck stamp when I went and got another one, and it was 2015's the last time I went duck hunting. You gotta have a federal duck stamp to hunt, by the way. [crosstalk 00:38:34] Bryan Thrift: I knew that. Matt Arey: We had a good hunt. I think we ended up killing four the first day and thirteen the second day so it was good. A lot of fun. Got to hang out with some old buddies. [crosstalk 00:38:44] see very often. Oh, is that what you were- Bryan Thrift: I forgot I'm the ninja. Matt Arey: Oh yeah. He said Thrifty is the ninja. How can y'all forget that? Well when he said ninja, I was thinking crawfish. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards Jeff and his white ninja crawfish. We got a lot of ninjas on the show. Jeff Walsh: I've been elusive lately. Matt Arey: Rob Montgomery said, "Would you ever throw a crank bait with a water temp below 40? And which crank bait?" I haven't fished too many lakes where the water was actually below 40. I fished a lot where it was 41, 42, 43. Have you fished any in the upper 30s? Bryan Thrift: Very, very few. I'm thinking the coldest water I've ever fished was at table rock one year. I remember it being 40, 41 at Table Rock one year. We fished in March. Matt Arey: What was it when we fished Beaver that year that you won on jerk bait? Bryan Thrift: It was cold, yeah. [crosstalk 00:39:40] 41, 42 there. Matt Arey: Would you throw a crank bait in water that cold? Yeah. I mean- Bryan Thrift: Yeah, that's when you kind of ... I switch over to tighter wobbling baits. Something like a [crosstalk 00:39:50] Chad wrap, stuff like that yeah. Matt Arey: Chad wrap's a good choice when it's super super cold like that. Bryan Thrift: Oh yeah. Here's a good comment. Billy Schultz says, "Think anything interesting will happen at Amistad this weekend?" I guess that's the first tournament of the year. Kicking off fishing season. This week the Costa series at Lake Amistad so that's gonna be exciting to follow and see how they do there. Matt Arey: Tow rigs this year, Rubin asked. I'll be running a Toyota Tundra. Bryan's running a Dodge. Bryan Thrift: Yep. Matt Arey: Dodge- Bryan Thrift: Currently. Matt Arey: Currently running a Dodge. Bryan Thrift: Probably need to get something else. I got some miles on my Dodge. Matt Arey: Yeah, but you remember the low rider? Bryan Thrift: Hey, I remember. Matt Arey: How many miles you put on that low rider? Bryan Thrift: It has 265,000. Matt Arey: It has?! You still have it? Bryan Thrift: Chuck's got it. Matt Arey: Oh. How many does it have on it now? Bryan Thrift: 265,000. Matt Arey: Oh, okay. 265,000. But it had about ... You put about 200,000 on it, didn't you? Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: That thing ran good. You never had any issues with it. Bryan Thrift: It's 3/4 ton. It's made to pull stuff. See, you get a little half ton truck with like a little 5/3 motor, you wear it out in 2-3 years pulling a boat as much as we do. Matt Arey: Tyler said, "what do y'all think about the BPT, Bass Pro Tour, coming to Falls Jordan in Sheeran Harris?" I saw that announced, but I think- Bryan Thrift: That's pretty neat. Matt Arey: I think that the time that they're coming- Bryan Thrift: When are ... What time are- Matt Arey: March. Gonna be in March. Bryan Thrift: Pretty small. Matt Arey: Probably. Bryan Thrift: If it's late March, they could be on the bid. Like late March. Matt Arey: I'm just gonna tell you right now there's gonna be some giants [inaudible 00:41:27]. Bryan Thrift: Oh yeah. Matt Arey: There's gonna be a couple tens called. No doubt. Bryan Thrift: Me, I'm not gonna go that far. Matt Arey: I am. Bryan Thrift: There'll be some big- Matt Arey: But off, and I am, and here's why. 'cause all three of those lakes produce double digit fish every year in March. Bryan Thrift: Oh yeah. Matt Arey: That is the month to be there. Unless some crazy conditions happen, but if it's like it should be there will be more than one double digit fish caught, I believe, throughout the whole field throughout multiple days. I'm not saying like there'll be ten caught by everybody or something crazy. Just a couple double digit fish. Bryan Thrift: I wonder how they're gonna break it down because Harris is a small lake. Matt Arey: That's gotta be the final lake. Bryan Thrift: That's gotta be the final day lake where they're gonna put ten anglers out there. Matt Arey: Right. I need to scroll down a little bit and catch up. Let's see. Did Costa fill non-voters for Amistad. I'm not sure, J. Mack. You may want to call FLW, find out. Lake levels on Okeechobee for the coast, though. WHat's the deal with ... Is it really high? Bryan Thrift: Yeah, I think it's really low, actually. Matt Arey: Really low? Bryan Thrift: Really low. Matt Arey: That must be the only lake in Florida that's really low. Bryan Thrift: No, I think everything kind of below Orlando's low. Matt Arey: Okay. So- Bryan Thrift: I think so. Matt Arey: Gotchu. Not sure if they filled up, though. College series on Norman and Fayweaather this year. What do y'all think? It'll take a day. Oh man. If they [inaudible 00:42:45], it could be good. It could take ... I don't know how many days that series or that tournament is. Bryan Thrift: What's that? Matt Arey: Multiple day tournament on Norman in February this year. There's a college tournament there. Also, Buchanan's asking [crosstalk 00:42:59]- Bryan Thrift: Ew. Matt Arey: I think if you average them teams. Bryan Thrift: If you average 14-15, you're gonna be right there, pretty strong. Matt Arey: 'Cause you could catch a big bag that time of year, but doing it normal days in a row. Bryan Thrift: Outside of somebody catching 18-20 one day and then catching 13 1/2 or so the next two days, that's very possible too. Matt Arey: Merle Gentry, one of our top fans, actually said, "I'm sorry. You know I love you guys, but I asked Fitzgerald to pull that hat for me." Bryan Thrift: It's my hat. Matt Arey: Yeah, Craig. He asked if you were fishing [inaudible 00:43:29]. You're fishing two divisions [crosstalk 00:43:33]- Bryan Thrift: Yeah, I'm actually fishing two divisions of the coast. This is actually gonna be my busiest year ever as a professional as far as fishing events. I've fished in the FLW tour, I'm fishing the southeast coast [inaudible 00:43:42] northeast coast. It'd be fun. Matt Arey: Let's see. Brad Wine, thank you. Or Brad Win. He said, "What's happening, fellows? Watching from cold, sunny San Diego." Thanks for tuning in, Brad. San Diego. All the way on the west coast. We appreciate it. We do have a few viewers from the west coast. We were talking about that earlier. We've had some from Washington state. Several from California. A few from Oregon. Very cool. We do appreciate y'all watching. Let's see. Justin, we will not be at the Raleigh Bass Fishing Expo in January. I think that's next weekend if I'm not mistaken. Bryan Thrift: I know I will not be there. Matt Arey: Yeah, I won't be attending either. I've been at that show a few times. I think Bryan's been- Bryan Thrift: Yeah, I've worked it a couple times as well. Matt Arey: I usually had to be down at the big rock which is actually not in Raleigh for the first time in years. It's- Bryan Thrift: Where's it at? Matt Arey: It's in Nashville this year. Bryan Thrift: Really? Matt Arey: Nashville, Tennessee. Yep. So I won't be going over to that either. Let's see. So Tim Frederick's on. What's up, Tim? Tim said Kissimmee's really low too. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: Interesting. So alright. We do have our trivia question here in a little while. What time we got, Bryan? Bryan Thrift: What time? Time check, 7:46. Matt Arey: 7:46. Bryan Thrift: We still got some time. Matt Arey: Got about fifteen minutes. We do have our trivia question that we are giving away. Bryan Thrift: Although we could knock off early so I can take the flat bill off. Matt Arey: No. We won't do that. You're gonna wear it 'til the end. Bryan Thrift: I'm wearing it. I'm rocking the flat bill. Matt Arey: Let's see. Here's a good one. Bryan, I'm gonna let you hit on this. Bryan Thrift: Alright. Matt Arey: What do I need to look for in a good worm rod? A good worm rod. WHat's your ideal action, length, things like that? Bryan Thrift: The ideal worm rod is a seven foot medium heavy 'cause that's ... I feel like it's long enough you can still throw a Carolina rig, but it's also got enough power you can Texas rig, you can flip with it if you have to. You can make it work for a lot of different applications. Seven foot medium heavy. I use a seven foot medium heavy fish [inaudible 00:45:41] stunner rod. I use that for all my Texas rigs if I'm throwing a worm, fishing brush, or flipping thinner bushes with 20lb fluorocarbon, stuff like that. That's me. Matt Arey: Interesting question from Rubin, he said, "Opinions on these big aluminum rigs on the tours." You do see a few guys running them. Bill Lowen, John Cox. Absolutely there's advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages to me are when you encounter big water. Now The only ... The reason I say that's not that big of a deal because if you could ... if your back can take it, and you can take a little bit more of a beating, then it's no big deal. I have seen those guys, especially John Cox- Bryan Thrift: Yeah, he's got a- Matt Arey: Win tournaments and make top tens because he had an aluminum rig. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: So to me, the positives, for somebody like John whose strengths are sight fishing and shallow water power fishing, he seems to be able to maximize that aluminum rig than all the other guys that're running 'em now. I have seen some ... I mean, Bill Lowen runs one. He does well. Bryan Thrift: They're [inaudible 00:46:50]. Matt Arey: There are several [crosstalk 00:46:52]- Who else runs an aluminum rig on the tours; do you know? Bryan Thrift: Huh. I don't know. Matt Arey: I don't know that I know- Bryan Thrift: I know John also, he has a deep V hole like when we go up north, he's got like a deep V hole aluminum- Matt Arey: I think he can change boats. He didn't used to be able to. Bryan Thrift: I don't think on elite series. I think you could on FLW. Matt Arey: I thought they did away with that. Bryan Thrift: I know you could on FLW 'cause a couple of guys ran the big 522 rangers. Matt Arey: Big deep Vs. Bryan Thrift: When we were at St. Clair this year. Matt Arey: Let's see. Was out hunting ... You guys gonna be on Rayburn the tenth of January? Yeah, John Stray Dog said, he just logged on, he said are we gonna be on Rayburn? Thrift will be there absolutely. Thrift will be there fishing FLW. Bryan Thrift: Yes, I will be there at Rayburn. Matt Arey: James Wiley said, "Looking for a Let's Talk Fish sticker." Did you get them stickers out? Jeff Walsh: They come in Friday. Bryan Thrift: We got 'em. Matt Arey: They come in when? Jeff Walsh: They come in Friday. Matt Arey: To us? Jeff Walsh: We're actually picking 'em up when we go to the shop. Matt Arey: Oh, okay. So- Jeff Walsh: We had something else come in too that nobody knows about. Which those'll be in tomorrow so you're actually gettin' two things. But we got like almost 400 stickers we can ship out. Bryan Thrift: Skyler Hamilton, we're getting a lot of comments. He runs an aluminum rig. Matt Arey: There you go. There's three of your top- Bryan Thrift: And Gussie. How could we forget Gussie? He runs one. Matt Arey: Oh yeah. Well the reason we forget Gussie because we don't think of that as aluminum 'cause it's like that deep. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, it's pretty tall. Matt Arey: He's running a Lund. Ain't it a Lund? Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: Yeah, it's a Lund. Which that is a rough water aluminum. I mean, it's built for rough water. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, it's a deep v hold. It's made to catch walleyes and stuff. Matt Arey: Yep. Jared said you can't anymore in the elites. Bryan Thrift: You can't run aluminum anymore in elites? Matt Arey: I don't know if he meant can't run aluminum- Bryan Thrift: Or can't switch boats. Matt Arey: Or can't switch boats. Yeah, interesting. Let's see. What about Lake Cumberland in Kentucky? Huh, you're fishing that for something, aren't you? Bryan Thrift: What? Matt Arey: Didn't you get a Cumberland for a coast or something? Bryan Thrift: I think the coast of championship's on Cumberland in 2019. Matt Arey: Okay. Yeah, yeah yeah. Yep. Jesse Stanley, let us know. Just make sure you drop a note when you make a order. We do have very few hats left in stock, but we do have the color I'm wearing. I think there's two left. We got some black and white ones. We got some- Bryan Thrift: No flat bills. I'm sorry. Matt Arey: We don't have any flat bills. We don't sell the flat bills. Might be something we have to look into now that Bryan's sporting one. Bryan Thrift: Oh yeah. Luke [Hound 00:49:21] said what about special guest Robbie Dow? Cause he is a fellow Elite Series pro like yourself. Matt Arey: That's a good point. That's a good point. Bryan Thrift: Get Robbie Dow on here. Matt Arey: We might have to hit up Robbie. We talked about having Robbie on the show anyway so we'll definitely get Robbie on the show. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, we need to get Robbie up in here. Matt Arey: Here soon. Bryan Thrift: If nothing else, just to make Scott Hammer jealous. Matt Arey: Let's see. Favorite ... This is from Ryan Montgomery. Favorite finesse techniques during winter or early spring? And that's a little tricky because- Bryan Thrift: That is tricky 'cause [crosstalk 00:49:56]- Matt Arey: A lot of the lackey worm deal. I'll tell you, in early spring I have caught some fish on an Elway. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: You know when they get, especially on places like Smith Lake in Alabama, places where a lot of those spots will stage up under some of those deep docks before they hit the bank to spawn. Bryan Thrift: Yeah, kind of suspend around. Matt Arey: Yeah, they'll suspend around on 'em. What other finesse ... I mean, I've used the drop shot in the winter and caught 'em. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: Not a ton. Bryan Thrift: That little Damiki armor shed. That's probably the number one finnessy type cold water. Matt Arey: Yeah, the Damiki rig. Yep. I completely forgot about that, but that's probably top of the list. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: So yeah. Bryan Thrift: I seen a question. Logan Taylor says for the classic in Knoxville, he needs and orange and white LTF hat, Jeff. Matt Arey: Orange and white? We don't have ... Do we have orange and white? Jeff Walsh: Absolutely not. Bryan Thrift: Absolutely not. So that answers ... We will have hats that- Matt Arey: We will have hats and shirts. Jeff Walsh: But we make an [older-sum 00:50:55]. It's not a bad idea. I don't know if you can get Tennessee orange, though. Matt Arey: When we order- Bryan Thrift: See, I like a special Tennessee only orange? Matt Arey: That orange one that we had was pretty darn close to Tennessee orange. Jeff Walsh: I don't think anything's close to Tennessee orange but Tennessee orange. Matt Arey: I mean, it's close. It's not ... It's as close as we can get. Let's just put it that way. Jeff Walsh: You never know. We'll try. Matt Arey: Let's see. Yeah. Jimmy brought up Matt ... Bryan's trying to rock the flat bill. I think he does want to be like Wheeler. Bryan Thrift: I did consult with Wheeler before the show to see if I was wearing it properly. Matt Arey: That is funny because he actually FaceTimed Wheeler right before we went live, and- Jeff Walsh: And got hung up on because it looked so ridiculous. Matt Arey: Wheeler almost spit his drink out when he- Bryan Thrift: I actually think he was trying to screenshot it when he hung up. Matt Arey: That's exactly what he was doing. He was trying to take a screenshot. Jeff Walsh: What are you wearing? Hang on, I got a call. Click. Matt Arey: If you go over to Wheeler's Instagram, you might see that picture pop up. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: Ight. Let's see. Oh, here's a good question from Caleb. He said ... Yeah, this is interesting. "How do you guys feel about using buoys to mark schools on TVA lakes if you don't have top notch electronics?" Bryan Thrift: I wouldn't do it. Matt Arey: I don't like doing it. I've never marked actual fish and/or brush with buoys. I have ... Sometimes if I'm in strong current or something, this is pre-Ultrex - which Bryan doesn't use one so it doesn't matter, I have marked my boat positioning with a buoy before. I've started catchin' 'em on a TVA lake offshore, and I've dropped the buoy just to know my boat position in case I drift back, something like [crosstalk 00:52:29]- Bryan Thrift: The biggest thing about dropping buoys on somewhere like the TVA, if you're on the main river it'll unwind the buoy. Like your buoy, once it hits bottom the water's moving so the buoy will keep unwinding. Matt Arey: Yeah, you've got to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't let out ... of course I don't put more than usually about 30ft of string on mine anyway. If you're marking stuff in 20-25ft and you lose five foot, it's not a big deal. Bryan Thrift: Yeah. Matt Arey: But if you've got 50ft of cord on your buoy, like Bryan said, and it unwinds and you get 25ft off your spot, that's a bad deal 'cause then you're casting back where your boat was sitting initially. Bryan Thrift: Then if the current's strong enough, it's dragging your buoy so you may be following the buoy down the river if you're not marking landmarks. Matt Arey: I can solve that. Just use a heavier weight. Ight. Let's see. Orange Tennessee hat, remove me as a top fan - Alan Roberts. Jeff Walsh: Is that if we get it or if we don't get it? Matt Arey: I take it you don't want us to order any or you do want us to order some. Lance Anderson said [Biffel 00:53:27] fixed Wheeler's hat. What'd Biffel do to his hat? Bryan Thrift: I don't know. He must've got it [crosstalk 00:53:31]- Matt Arey: I hope he did. I hope he took it and bent it up for him. Jeff Walsh: Why does Bryan not run an Ultrex? Matt Arey: Because Bryan doesn't like change. Bryan Thrift: I don't like change. Matt Arey: We've been ... Yeah, Bryan's anti-change. No doubt Bryan is anti-change. We almost hit 300 viewers tonight. We got close. Bryan Thrift: We did. We did get real close. We had like 280-something at one time. Matt Arey: 280-something. So let's see. Your two favorite jigs for skipping, Bryan? That's directed towards you from David Earl Thorton. Bryan Thrift: I always have a half ounce. [crosstalk 00:54:01] Matt Arey: What? Bryan Thrift: What? Matt Arey: Okay, go ahead, Bry. Bryan Thrift: Always a half ounce. I usually always skip with a half ounce jig. My two favorite are Damiki Mamba Jig, the Mamba II 'cause it's got two different sizes of rubber in it, and then I throw a homemade shooter lure jig quite a big as well. Those are my two. Mamba Jig and the Shooter Jig. Matt Arey: Yeah, I like the half ounce shooters. That's ... A half ounce is about all I ever skip. I don't know that I ever go to a 3/8, really. Bryan Thrift: That's all I skip as well because if I want to change my [far-aid 00:54:35], I'll put a bigger trailer on or something used bigger line. There's a lot of things you can do, and we've talked about that several times on the show. Matt Arey: Oh yeah, we gotta get a rat. Anthony, thanks for the reminder. Bryan Thrift: Yes. Matt Arey: We have to get- Bryan Thrift: We gotta get us a feeder rat. Matt Arey: 'Ey, you think Hadley would miss Skittles? Jeff Walsh: Is that the one that's left? Matt Arey: That's terrible. I should never have said that. Forgive me. Jeff Walsh: Is that the one that's left? It's bad that you know which one's still living and I don't. Matt Arey: The only ... Okay, let me introduce y'all to- Bryan Thrift: Wait, if they're doomed to die anyway, why can't we just feed it to- Jeff Walsh: That joker's huge. Matt Arey: Skittles is like bigger than that cup, dude. Skittles might kill- Bryan Thrift: He tried to eat Tater Hog's 17in swim [brake 00:55:11]. Matt Arey: That's true. Skittles is just daughter, Hadley's pet rat. He's pretty big. The reason I know his name, or her. Is it a he or a her? Jeff Walsh: I don't know. I can't remember. It could go either way. Matt Arey: Skittles could go either way. Jeff Walsh: You were about to say do I know anything? Not about the rat. Matt Arey: Not about the rat. That's what I was gonna ask you. Do you know anything about your daughter's rat? Alright. My daughter, Reese, was over here playing with Hadley the other day. Remember when we were running around doing some errands? I went up there, and my daughter would never touch, it's my oldest daughter Reese, would never ... She'd run through that wall trying to get away from a rat or a mouse, and I walk upstairs and what's she got in her hands? Bryan Thrift: A rat. Matt Arey: A rat. She's holding Hadley's rat like this. Like, "He's so cute. I want one." Bryan Thrift: Is it a white rat? Matt Arey: It's white and brown. Bryan Thrift: See, it's a pretty rat. It's not an old nasty brown field rat. There's a difference. Matt Arey: We're not gonna feel Hadley's rat to Mr. Wilson. Bryan Thrift: I don't think that'll work out too well. Matt Arey: That was a joke. We would never do that, but we do need to ... They have where we get our fish from at Fins and Critters, here in Shelby, they do have mice don't they? Jeff Walsh: Absolutely. Matt Arey: They have feeder mice. Jeff's over there grinning. He's excited. So we gotta remember that. Don't let me forget that. We have to get feeder mice for Mr. Wilson for the next show. It may not be the next show. It depends on what's available. Bryan Thrift: Sometime in the near future. Matt Arey: Sometimes in the next few weeks, few shows, we will have ... Oh, that's funny. He's talking about Skittles. Yeah, Skittles is a weird name for a rat. Bryan Thrift: That is a weird name for a rat. Matt Arey: I guess Hadley named him Skittles. Bryan Thrift: We have a lot of questions here ... Wyatt Clark says, "Best way to buy bulk two stroke oil?" I'm gonna say go to your dealer. That's probably the best way. Matt Arey: No. Bryan Thrift: Angler's Choice. Matt Arey: Nope. Bryan Thrift: Really? Matt Arey: Yep. Go to Walmart and buy Pennzoil Marine when it's on rollback. You can get it for $15.88 a gallon. Unless you buy it in a 55 gallon drum- Bryan Thrift: When you say in bulk, I was thinking a big drum. Matt Arey: I was just thinking a bunch of cases of single [inaudible 00:57:18], but. Bryan Thrift: Gotchu, gotchu. See I was- Matt Arey: In a 55 gallon drum, absolutely
