Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition today. Forward the Man, Frank. Scalish, we're up to 212, I believe, Frank. We are. We are knocking on the door of 300. Every once in a while, we'll get deep in a conversation, and we were literally in the middle of one, not 30 seconds ago. And you said, bro, we've got to go live. Yeah. I looked at the clock and I'm like, oh, go. I know. I have a little count down in the corner.

It says 0- zero, zero, zero. It's showtime. Somewhere where it is also showtime, uh, I got the small mouth viewer, Frank. I do. Like, I've been watching all the St. Lawrence River stuff and then all those videos are coming out. and now the Elite series is at St. Clair live right now already 20 pound racks in the well.

Guys catching three to four pounders. And then the Bass Pro Tour has also up in small mouth country. So a lot of those guys, I think, are catching large mouth,

though.

A lot of those guys are catching some large mouth.

So,

but I mean,

I'm headed to Leach tomorrow.

Perfect.

I was up to working on tackle till 3 a.m.

I have nine spinning rod combos just dialed.

Just tweaked. There's nothing better like like what in your

opinion would you rather have like if you could only pick one like what feels better in your hands

a perfectly balanced freshly spooled bait casting combo or the same counterpart on a spinning rod they're both equally as nice to me

but i feel like spinning rod is way more important because you're putting like you can get away

with cutting some corners on a baitcaster in my opinion because you can make up for it with 20

pound string you don't have to have the perfect action or something like cutting some corners on a baitcaster, in my opinion, because you can make up for it with 20 pound

string. You don't have to have the perfect action or something. Like, I mean, you could technically

take a medium heavy rod and flip with it. Yeah, that's factual. But on the spinning rod side,

Frank, if you have one little minute detail that isn't right, you are asking for heartbreak.

Yeah, I mean, I will agree with you there.

Yeah, I was I was tweaking rods out as well, spinning rods.
