This week, we've got news from Washington's Crooked Game Commission. Did a Secret Service canine handler get caught with his pants down? Hanoi Randall reports on Idaho hunting tech bans, which I'm generally sympathetic to. The most hated wildlife crossing in the world, which is in California.
A plan to save Great Lakes whitefish. And Clovis First is back, baby, plus more. Clovis what? Clovis first. It's a theory on the peopling of the Americas. Clovis first. Clovis first was there. Then they killed it. And it's risen from the dead. I love it. Those people can't make up their minds, man. It's like the coelacanth. That fell flat. Yeah, no, I got it. That's good. That was a good joke. It's like a Lazarus species. Yanni's back from fishing in Key West. What's going on, Yannis?
It's funny, like the second or third night after fishing, I was on FaceTime with my gal and she's like, how are you not burned up?
What are the issues with Washington's Game Commission?
I'm like, man, I've just learned after 47 years, you put a bunch of SPF 50 on and you can just stay not red. Randall and Max are a little bit charrier than I am.
I put on SPF 100 on Sunday. I thought it would balance out the SPF zero. I feel like at a point it, tapers off. Doesn't it? Isn't that like a, like there's like a sunscreen scandal that maybe I'm not aware of. I, I, I'm not quite sure the science behind it all, but I, uh,
How does Idaho regulate hunting technology?
retroactively applying strong sunscreen after not having sunscreen doesn't actually yeah in fact like you're like i got burnt bad i'm gonna put it on you need to invest in a 10 gallon hat man so is that the best is that that's what you got that you got sun you did that you didn't get sunburned uh mark king and i went down to key west to do a little fishing with our good buddy jake gribb that i think most of us here in this room know man are you known no it always makes me feel left out when you say things like that i still feel like the new guy That's good. It's fresh. Jake's the guy that took me under his wing for some hound hunting. I've forgotten this. The whole way that we met Jake is that he was like an early meat eater fan and was emailing us about going rabbit hunting with beagles in Montana.
Do you remember that? That's not how I know him. That's our first contact.
No. It's not? No, that's not how I know him. His wife used to work with us.
What is the significance of the Clovis First theory?
I know, but that is after. Oh.
yeah he was like clay newcomb that's how we came about clay newcomb too he sent an email being like y'all need to come to arkansas to hunt squirrels and bears and deer and we're like how that turned out and you caught a tarpon yeah so mark and i almost caught a tarpon right uh depend yeah catching your hand on the leader catching tarpon comes in many different versions and yes uh is unfortunate, but fortunate. I've spent probably seven full days of my life standing on the bow of a boat looking for casting at Tarpon. I've hooked one, jumped one, nowhere near catching one. Literally the third cast of the trip. 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. So we're getting ready to do like an intro scene. And all of a sudden somebody looks over and goes, oh my God, they're right there. 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.
