This week, we flip some float switches by indicating more strikes against Tenkara, dip into the secret lives of half-caffeinated fly shop workers, slip a wedding ring around a mullet and pray it doesn’t get mowed by a trevally, and bob around in a sea of stupid comments about the Fonz.

Ep. 41: Supreme Bobber Fishing

Fishing can be slow. Podcasts about fishing shouldn’t be. That’s why we created Bent, the unapologetic fishing podcast that moves faster than a tournament bass boat but doesn’t take itself near as seriously. Host Joe Cermele welcomes anglers of all backgrounds and interests, from hardcore crappie jiggers to dry-fly purists to offshore tuna addicts. Even if you’re just mildly fish curious, this podcast has something for you: regional fishing reports, tackle tips, trash talk, etymology, weekly news, trivia, even suggestions on how to piss off your fishing guide. Come for the soggy cooler sandwiches; stay for the raccoon-eyes tan lines. Part of The MeatEater Podcast Network.

Hi, Bent listeners! MeatEater and iHeartPodcasts have teamed up for a riveting new podcast called God’s Country. Hosted by songwriters Dan and Reid Isbell, God’s Country is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Don't just take our word for it, though. Check out this trailer and start listening now!
Show Description: “God’s Country” with brothers Dan and Reid Isbell is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.
Listen to God’s Country on the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introducing God's Country

Grab some fine malt liquor and laugh along with Joe, Hayden, and the mighty Phil as the fellas bid a warm adieu to the podcast that made you feel the same kind of good as a Wendy’s Baconator the morning after getting the drunkest you’ve been since college.

Ep. 87: Grande Cheese Curd Nymphs

This week, we celebrate opening day by tying every fly in the Wal-Mart trout starter pack on at the same time, ripping a spinner that could battle a salmon shark through the bridge hole, bumping a plastic hell bug in the last resort run, and turn a drinking straw into a limit catcher.

Ep. 86: Spanish Mackerel Pellet Heads

This week, we destroy the lives of old people in the name of great smallmouth fishing, purchase tying thread off a guy that likely stole it in an armed robbery, debate whether fish would rather have Uncle Ben’s or Rice-A-Roni jammed in their body cavities, and tell you why you should just buy whatever fly rod you can afford.
