Captain Dale Ash (The Jupiter Snooker) talks about the concept of learning by spending time on the water. Dale presented the idea of just "going" no matter the conditions. Just spend time on the water. I really enjoyed the workout we did before the podcast and the actual conversation we had as well.

How to behave when you are around other fishermen. There are some situations where you might be in close quarters with other fishermen and you might have the opportunity to be far away from them. If you have not been in these situations very often, it is important to know proper etiquette while you are on the water.

Through lots of trial and error, I have learned the do's and don'ts of running long distances. I have had so many running injuries because I did it wrong. So learn from me and avoid the injuries that I had to go through to learn how to run correctly.

Rick has 28 years of experience in Yellowstone National Park. And I have always said that I started in the outdoor world by working in Yellowstone National Park. America's first national park.

I was inspired to do this podcast after going elk hunting with my son. I realized how hard elk hunting was and decided to talk about how to train towards your goals. This year I have been focused on the Crossfit Games and I've learned how to target my training for what my goals are. There are some tricks to supplementing your training routine with things that will prepare you for the event you have in mind.

"You'll find a way to do it if you have that passion for it. But you may think that you have to commit so much time, but you really don't. If you take an hour or even half an hour, that's what I tell people... There are people who would never miss a day but only be there for 15-20 minutes, and they would be the strongest people in the gym..." - Steve Slater.

Introducing someone you care about, to something you care about, fishing, can be a tricky process and one that you should really think about. You want to make sure that it is a lighthearted and fun experience for the other person. You also want to make sure that it is somewhat successful (though fun is the most important aspect).

In today's Physical Friday episode we talk about diet.  Everyone knows that having a healthy nutritional diet is important to health and fitness.  It is equally important to maintain a vigorous physical diet of exercise and mobility for good health. As we have discussed recently it is also extremely important to pay attention to the sleep diet as well.  There is another diet that is rarely discussed as it pertains to physical health and that is your Mental Diet.

Josh Thomas was in the advertising world making a great living and working his way up the corporate ladder.  He liked to fish for largemouth bass during his frequent periods of downtime in an industry where those periods were the norm.  A trip with a friend in his first kayak for striped bass changed everything for Josh.  He began to spend more and more time in the kayak and less time in the bass boat, eventually designing his own fishing kayak which was the start of Vibe.
