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

Nope.

Brody knows it.

Down and dirty?

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

Stu App taught down and dirty, basically meaning that anytime you fight any fish, but for this instance, tarpon, is that anytime that fish's head goes left, you bring your rod tip down and to the right.

And when you turn him to the right, you bring your rod tip down and to the left.

The MeatEater Podcast

And you're basically not only tiring him out, but you're breaking the fish's will, is what he thought.

And so that

The MeatEater Podcast

He felt that like in 15 minutes, he could pretty much land any single tarpon by doing that.

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

So I thought I was going to do that.

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

I didn't do it.

But yeah, we chase him all across this basin, like a mile or something.

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

And we get to the back of this basin.

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

The water's getting shallow.

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

We probably hooked him in five or six feet of water.

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

And we're in like two to three feet of water now.

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

And there's this little bridge that's kind of like in our periphery.

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

We're not really paying attention to it.

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

And there's a Creek, you know, leaving the basin going out at, I guess, depending on what the tide's doing, going in or out.

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

But at this moment, it's going out into the Creek.
