How many best did you tag this year?

Not a lot.

Okay, give us the number.

No, no, no, no.

I only did 312.

No, no, no, no.

So, last year, I tagged 275.

This year, I haven't even hit 120.

Oh, man, you're really slacking.

So I'm on the phone.

My hands are greasy.

And the dude, he sits next to the motor with the cowling off with the fish and has me take a picture while I'm diagnosing things and tools in my hand. Come on. You got to do that. Yeah, no, I had to do it. They can make it rain somewhere. They can make it cloudy somewhere. So why don't they make it rain right now?

We got no water anywhere.

But make it rain so my strawberries aren't so expensive at the grocery store.

Come on, man.

Cut and retry that. You know that's never going to work.

Good morning, friends, degenerate anglers, and people currently in their kitchens debating between another serving of Christmas cookies or a scoop of cold-creamed spinach that they're

too lazy to microwave. And welcome to Cut and Retie, the Fishing

podcast that's most likely looking for one or more tiny instruments that double as futuristic

weapons that came with the Kiss action figures and are already lost. That is probably what I'm

doing right now at this moment. Hey, happy Friday after Christmas, y'all. I'm Joe Sermelli. And if you caught last week's show, then that kiss action figure joke makes sense. If you didn't catch it, like, what the hell are you even doing, man? Like, where are you even been? God, no. I'm just kidding, of course. It's the holidays and we're all very busy. And also these holidays are weird. You know you're an old head turning

into your parents when you start saying shit like, God, the holidays just fall so weird this year.
