Hey, what is up, everybody, happy Monday.

Welcome to the first installment of cut and retie shortcuts brought to you by Quantum, Darren.

I'm so excited to have Quantum on board.

Quantum.

Quantum.

I used to fish Quantum like crazy in the salt back in the day.

And as I mentioned in our full episode last Friday, I can't quite tell you guys about all

the cool new saltwater tackle that quantum is coming out with yet,

right? It's going to unfold over time, but shortcuts is now brought to you by quantum.

I am super psyched to be working with them. And, you know, given that we're talking about saltwater

tackle here that they make, I think this is an appropriate first, first shortcuts because

Darren, as many of you guys know, now runs a private boat, right, in tournaments, big offshore

tournaments all over the eastern seabor. And let's let's talk a little bit. We talked a little

bit about this on Friday, but we'll talk about it again very quickly. Just sort of what kind of world this is. This is a big money world that most of us

are not familiar with. It is. For the most part, it's the top 1% of the top 1%. Right. Yeah. They can

afford these kinds of boats. And I mean, let's, to put it in

perspective, because you do this, you know, you fish these tournaments. Like, give me a ballpark on a buy-in.

So, like, there might be people listening who, like, threw up 25 bucks for the club bass tournament,

right? And we all know that even like pro bass fishing, it's a lot of money to enter these big tournaments.

Tell me about entering something like the Mid-Atlantic 500.

All right.

So if you want to get in the Mid-Atlantic 500 and you're going all in and there's really no other way to do it.
