With the recent changes in the regulations on Goliath Grouper I thought we would discuss how to catch these small Goliaths.  Maybe you are one of the 200 individuals who will get a permit this year. If so, maybe this info will help.

We had Mike Larkin on the podcast a few weeks ago to go over a How 2 Tuesday about buying a boat, and Mike also had some questions about fitness. The main question that Mike had, was that as he is getting older, what can he do to stay in shape and healthy enough to do whatever activities and trips that he wants. This is exactly why we have Physical Friday episodes!!!In this episode we go through some good habits with eating, exercise, and stretching that will put you on your way to fishing when you are 95!

Rodrigo Salles is the co-owner of Untamed Angling and CEO of Untamed Angling Brazil operations. Rodrigo has an incredible story about how he was able to establish this incredible fishery in the Amazon. He had to seek approval of the natives and was given one chance to prove to them that it was possible to catch fish like the Arapaima on a fly rod. Rodrigo tells us the whole story in this episode, and this is one that you are not going to want to miss. Recently he caught a World Record Peacock Bass. Check it out on his Instagram @rod_sailes.

With technology constantly advancing, it is important to use it to our advantage when it comes to fishing. In this episode I go over my two favorite tools, Google Earth and Salt Strong. Google Earth can be incredibly helpful for not only finding where to fish, but also understanding why fish are in a certain area. You can then take that information to new spots and narrow down your search for fish. Salt Strong is another incredible tool for becoming a better and more well informed angler. With everything that they provide, you can learn specific techniques, get exclusive insight on fishing zones, and more.

My good friend Mike Larkin was asking me about a big decision he is making soon, and I thought it would make a great How 2 Tuesday. Mike is currently deciding between buying a bay boat or a skiff. In this episode, we go through all of the pros and cons of each, and discuss multiple situations where one would be of benefit over the other. We also go through different sizes of bay boat and weigh the pros and cons of that. Do you have a question for me like Mike did?

We are officially on week 3 of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I was able to wrap mine up in 10 days but I am still participating in what is the most important of the challenge, awareness for Florida’s clean water. In this episode we talk about Senate Bill 2508, what it means for our waters, and what we can do to fight it. We also go over the strategy that I used to knock out all my pushups, by doing 20 every minute on the minute.

This week on How 2 Tuesday we go over the splash-less cast. This can be an excellent technique for landing a shrimp or jig right in front of a fish’s face without spooking them. This does take a LOT of practice though. In this episode I go over the technique and movements that you should be making. I also go over what tackle is best for this situation. Just like a bass angler practices flipping jigs, this is something that you can practice in your pool or canal so make sure that you have this technique dialed in before you try it on a big permit or bonefish! WARNING!! - Some attempts at the splash-less cast result in nuclear-like explosions if not done exactly right. Make sure to practice!

Happy Friday everyone! We are officially in week 2 of the 10,000 pushup challenge! I wanted to take this podcast to remind you that it is not too late to get others involved! Even if someone just joins you for a day, or even just a few reps. This challenge is all about awareness for Florida water quality with help from our friends at Captains For Clean Water.

Dr. Jennifer Rehage and Carissa Gervasi are back on the podcast to give us an update on what they have found during their study of the Jack Crevalle. They have tagged a number of fish and have found that some migrate all the way from the Florida Keys to Louisiana. In this episode we talk about what could be causing these migrations and what we could learn from future studies. Be sure to follow @fiu_fisheries_lab on Instagram to keep up with their research.

Every fly caster seems to want to cast the longest possible cast. Whether it is actually to catch a fish or to impress your friends at the barbecue, the desire to cast the whole line or deep into the backing is something that many people ask about.  Now, I don’t think that you have to be able to cast far to land lots of fish, but if you practice your distance casting and can have control of your fly line, it will drastically help your line control at shorter distances.  Back in 1998, I won the Best of the West casting competition, casting a standard 5wt fly rod 131 feet. In this episode we go over some secrets and tricks that I use to cast this far. You may notice that much of distance casting isn’t all casting technique but also line preparation. Soon I hope to make a full video going through the casting motions, but if you have any questions right now, shoot me a text 305-930-7346 This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee  Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off If you have questions or suggestions for the sh

The 10,000 pushup challenge has officially started! I have been loving seeing everyone involved on social media so keep it up! This week we are going over a good way to get your pushups in by keeping it fun and spreading it out throughout the day. I use a deck of cards for fitness all the time, and I have found a good way to use them for the pushup challenge as well. You can place cards around the house and do your pushups as you find them throughout the day. Get creative with it!

Toby Hansen joined me on the podcast this week. Toby grew up in a commercial fishing family and became a mate for a private boat. We met when his boss booked me for a fishing trip in the Keys. His Boss got busy as Bosses sometimes do and did not make that trip so me and Toby got to spend the day fishing and we have been friends ever since. We catch up and talk about the journey to today.  This one has some incredible advice for young people who want to make a living fishing.  Be sure to keep up with Toby on Instagram @waterhunter71 This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee  Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off Salt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembership If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346 This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

I often get questions about what kind of boat someone should get, so this week we go through that for How 2 Tuesday. The first thing to remember is that every boat is a compromise. There is not a single boat out there that can do everything. But if you decide on what you want to use the boat for most, you can get the perfect hull that accommodates where you want to go. You can get a specialized boat like a skiff that may be perfect for shallow flats fishing, but not the best for open water. You may want to get an offshore boat that can run 50 miles out, but it will not be able to go very shallow. Or you could compromise on both and get a bay boat that can do multiple types of fishing, but may not be able to go the shallowest, or the furthest out. The best thing that you can do is decide on what you want to use your boat for most, and go off of that.  This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee  Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-
