World Records and tournaments in general are meaningless to many unless they're ones that move the needle or have historical substance.

Recognition and fame is a reward for doing something outstanding, not continuous chest pounding.

And two, I appreciate the opinions of those that frown upon both. I get it.

On today's podcast is a person that is on a silent mission, her own quest to do

outstanding things, seeking only to achieve her goals without a spotlight.

I admire her and her successes.

Cat Vallely is a woman whose focus is on permit and permit only.

She's driven and works harder at her craft than anyone.

She's caught two outstanding permit records this year and finished third in the IJFA's

fall permit tournament, all men and one woman. She's awesome. I hope you dig it.

We broke everything. We broke lines, we broke hooks, we broke rods, we broke our minds, we broke our minds we broke marriages we broke the whole thing We came up with the idea of going out that night and chasing girls and whoever had the biggest

pair of panties went to pot. I knocked another arrow and he turned around the

other way and I shot him going through the other way so I double-lunged him both ways.

But it was nothing for us to paddle an air mattress out into government cut.

I got him on.

All right now, we're going to teach him a lot so.

I'm just an old guy that likes to fish and I'm not quitting yet.

And he said, well, who the hell do you think you are, Sue App?

And I said, that's exactly who I am.

Life's journey to the grave should not be one arriving with a pretty well-preserved body,

but rather skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly torn out, thoroughly used up, proclaiming wildly.

Wow! What a ride!
