There are many ways you can make your guide happy… like bringing them lunch or something to drink or wiping your F#%!ing Feet…but nothing will make your guide happier than you being able to make a good cast from the boat. Not only could this result in you catching more fish at the end of the day but this also helps your guide to preserve his soul rather than watch you fail, shot after shot. Great anglers dont often practice their casting when its time to fish, all of that work has been done off the water. Control the controllable to be a better angler. Avoid missed shots, be attentive and put in the practice off the water preparing you to make the shot…sometimes it’s the only one you get.

Comparison has often been called “the thief of joy” and I agree with that statement. Comparing yourself to a professional athlete probably isn’t going to get you very far, in fact, it might take you several steps back. The healthiest comparison to make is to where you were the day before. You can do that by tracking and recording your workouts and seeing the progress you have made. Personally, I use an app called “Beyond the Whiteboard” that helps me keep track of all my workouts and the Carbon Diet Coach for my food intake.

The knot wars return this week and at the request of a listener I have decided to put the Slim Beauty and Two Turn Blood Knot head to head. As always I’ll be testing these knots on a Next-Tech Force-tester to maintain consistency. Both of these knots are used to eliminate a Bimini Twist from the leader to save time and make the leader much less visible. One of the many keys of becoming a great angler is to control to controllable and there is no better example of this than properly preparing and managing your tackle. If you want to learn how to tie the knots mentioned in this video plus 40 other knots check out the Tom Rowland Knot Course on Waypoint.https://waypointtv.com/tom-rowland-fishing-knots-courseThis podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% offSalt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembership1st Phorm Nutrition and Supplements: https://1stphorm.com/?a_aid=TomrowlandIf you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Injuries are an inconvenience that can and will happen if you train long enough. Many people and some doctors will recommend not working out during the recovery period but I feel strongly that is not the most beneficial to my own training and maybe yours too.  Today I go over my own strategies to continue training around any injury that may happen. I’ll talk about why I feel it is important and ways that I have found to alter training to still allow for consistent exercise and improvements despite setbacks from injury.

Calder Allen is 19 year old self-taught singer songwriter out of Austin, Texas who expresses his passion for the outdoors through his unique sound, different from most of what you’ll hear in the country or folk scene today. I found out about Calder while at Bonnaroo this year, he was one of the first acts that I saw and was a favorite performance throughout thew whole festival. His debut album’s cover, “The Game”, drew my attention in because of the Fly Fishing equipment on it. You can find “The Game” and Calder’s music on CalderAllen.com or on all music platforms. This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% offSalt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembershipIf you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

While at ICAST, I had a young guide approach me and ask for some advice—how do you deal with people who are actively trying to put you and your business down? This could be at the dock, in the bait shop or fly shop or even on social media. I have dealt with this throughout my career and did have some advice. Do you fight back or take a different approach?Listen to today’s episode and let me know your opinion by texting 305-930-7346

Many people simply get bored with the same workouts over and over and that leads to them becoming inconsistent and maybe even quitting all together. Being able to mix up routines, rep schemes and exercises can keep workouts more interesting and sometimes even more effective.The “In-Remaining Time Format” is a format that uses a set time of work and a set time of rest. We can use 2 exercises with a set number of reps followed by a third exercise that we will get max reps in the remaining time.  We go over examples of a 24 total minute workout that incorporates high intensity, even HIGHER intensity and then a break. I like these rep formats because they always manage to keep workouts fresh, which is a major part of the recipe for my success in fitness. These schemes are also highly effective with minimal equipment or when traveling to a hotel gym. If you have come up with a workout that uses this format, send it my way because I always love trying new ones out.This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% offSalt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembershipIf you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Wes and his sons Weston and Perry are owners of On a Mission Fishing Charters based in Naples, Florida. We were introduced to each other by UFC Hall of Famer Clay “the Carpenter” Guida. Any friend of Clay’s is a friend of mine. I was interested in the story of generational guiding and wanted to talk to the Bedell family about how they determined that guiding was the path for them. The trio dominated local tournaments and now has developed a strong business in a competitive market. You can follow them on Instagram atWes- capt.wesbedellPerry- capt.perrybedellWeston- capt.westonbedell
