With Capt. Kirk a bit under the weather, it was up to Capt. Kevin and Jeff to man the ship…but they had a couple tricks up their sleeves:

Trick #1: Capt. Brian LeSage and Kevin Pickett came in to talk about fishing and an amazing hunting trip to Argentina…that had A LOT of surprises. There were also several callers who weighed in with their own perspective on a trip south of the equator.

Trick #2: Capt. Kevin took us down memory lane with a great story about catching the ultimate tarpon with Mark Sosin, who passed away this week. RIP, Mark!

Trick #3: They even tapped on Producer “Snake Killer” Chris for his latest moccasin encounter…notch #8 on his snake belt!
