My name is Cameron Butler and this is the What If It's True Podcast and what you're

about to hear are archived audio files that I have done over the years on a podcast

called Dixie Crypted on YouTube. I'm bringing those over and combining both podcasts so that

each podcast has the same stories and the same content. Hope you enjoy it. All right, here we go.

This is a story I did on the Dixie Crypted YouTube podcast back in 2018 or early 2019.

sometimes sleep in in the backyard. My favorite thing about staying at the cabin was fishing the

Cutoff. One summer when I was 14 years old, my father gave me a Garcia ambassador bait casting

reel. I thought I was in heaven because now I could bass fish like my dad did. I wanted one for

years and my dad knew it, but he waited to give me one until he knew I could use it properly.
