Literally the third cast of the trip.

Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

So first morning, it's still dark outside, kind of like it's, there's not enough, the sun's not high enough where you can actually see in the water.

And all of a sudden we're like kind of getting ready because we're filming.

The MeatEater Podcast

So we're getting ready to do like an intro scene.

Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

And all of a sudden somebody looks over and goes, oh my God, they're right there.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

And like literally already within casting range.

And they're just, when tarpon, when they call tarpon happy, they're almost not even moving.

They're just kind of sitting in one spot and bobbing in a way, like in the current, you know?

And so, you know, the yelling starts and, you know, Jake's like, get the rod, but be quiet.

Don't make a lot of noise when you move to the bow of the boat.

And so I grab a rod, get on the bow, and literally the third cast.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

I had never done this, Brody.

Have you done this much where you cast and then instead of stripping with one hand, you put the rod in your armpit?

The MeatEater Podcast

and then strip with both hands.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

You know how that works?

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

The MeatEater Podcast

Tell us.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Um, the re another reason for the two handed strip is because it keeps the fly moving.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Yeah.

You don't like let go and then have to reach up and pull again.
