Jeff was out on OSR this week, so Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk got things going themselves this episode.  But they didn’t end it that way – Capt. Paul Dozier joined them to talk a whole lot of fishing, including kingfishing (what else would the mastermind of the Old School talk about?) and naturally progressing into some really cool trolling talk.

They were talking offshore, and of course, when anybody talks about going offshore, the conversation shifts to sharks. Quite the interesting discussion ensued about how many are out there…and how much protection they really need.

Talked a little hunting, too…spawned by a very “interesting” story from a caller who caught a look at an intimate moment.

Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects were back after a two-week, holiday-induced hiatus. So, as you can imagine, they had a lot of catching up to do about…catching fish!  Get the latest updates, along with the latest forecast, in this welcome back episode.

Capt. Kevin was off on some New Year’s OSR, but he checked in via the wonders of modern technology…to find Tru Luvin Fishing’s Domenic Paniccia sitting in his chair at the studio!  As you can imagine, lots of fun and fishing talk ensued.

Capt. Kirk shared the audio of a pack of yotes going BONKERS on his property…and why? Because something was in there with them, and one of those seems to have met an untimely end thanks to the beast that growls at the end of the clip. What was it – a bear? panther? BIGFOOT?!?!?!?

Not sure what brought it up (maybe the New Year’s fireworks?), but the guys got to talking about flashlights and kicked around all kinds of recommendations. That led to this episode going really gear-heavy. Flashlights, artificial lures, knives…and more.

The boys were back after some yuletide cheer to talk about the fun of the holidays and what was next up on the outdoors agenda. They got Capt. Kirk to talk about the INSANE haul he brought in the day before – lots of sheepshead and some of the biggest trout any of them had ever seen!

The guys talked about a lot of things, including more absurd fishing regulation talk, all kinds of stuff happening in the woods (bears, big cats and more), as well as potential names for Capt. Kevin’s new puppy, and all kinds of holiday food and fun talk.

The guys were back in studio, and they were a bit conflicted. Of course, everyone is all about all things Christmas this time of year, but with the weather as good as it is – and the fishing as good as it is – how could you not talk about it?

The conversation bounced around all over the place between fishing, hunting, sting ray barbs, Christmas gift ideas, Christmas movies and TV specials, lines from Star Wars (?!?)…no joke – this episode BOUNCED.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for everyone, and thanks to the great weather, even the fish were getting into it! Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects talked about it for the whole show…and talked about how good it may be.  Tune in to find out just how good it’s going to be!

The boys were broadcasting live from Standard Feed & Seed for the Holiday Ho-Ho-Hoedown to spread some Christmas cheer, collect toys for Operation Santa’s Heroes, and take part in all the festivities. The talk went all kinds of sideways pretty much from the start, as is the case anytime the boys are on location. Lots of great stories and fun stuff…100% must-listen!!

Sometimes, you just gotta sit back and revel in what Mother Nature drops in your lap.  Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects couldn’t stop talking about how great the weather was…and how great it’s going to continue to be in the coming week.  Listen in to find out just how good it’s gonna get!

As you know, there’s always a lot to talk about on the Outdoors Show, but boy, did the guys hit on A LOT of different things in this episode! You’ll have to listen closely to hear how the conversation found its way to barbed wire…but it was really interesting stuff.

In the midst of the rambling conversation, it was decided that in two weeks, on December 20, the first ever Outdoors Show Green Off will take place! Stay tuned for more info…because the gang has no idea how this is supposed to work.

And just when you thought the show couldn’t get any more sideways, Jeff started singing the praises of his favorite road trip restaurant, the Mustard Seed Buffet. But everything went south when, much to everyone’s chagrin, we found out it closed down.  HOWEVER – the OS Family quickly rebounded with suggestion after suggestion for great southern cooking restaurants.

After a few weeks away, Capt. Kevin made his triumphant return to the Fishing Forecast show, and what do you think he did? You know what he did: he had the Unusual Suspects check in with their reports, of course!  Couple that with talk about the weather on the way, and you get some fun chatter and a great glimpse into what lies ahead for you on the water.
