Well, we tried something a little different, folks. Tonight, it's snowy and we settled in for an AMA-style show where we rattled off all sorts of questions for Bob to answer. We flipped on Instagram Live to really put him on the spot and he didn't know what sort of things were lined up-- so we laughed and had a good time. Yes, we go through some dog training advice but we also learn about Bob's preferred dog names, his time wrestling goats, life in Ireland, his list of guns I didn't realize was so long, how Bob fell into owning Andi, boiled peanuts and a lot more.

Like I said, it's a different kind of show but I think you'll laugh, feel like you know us more and still walk away with a few mini training tricks up your sleeve. Cheers, friends.

Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors. In the inshore fishing business, Capt Joe Gonzales is one of those people. Despite working 150 miles away from one another, I heard Joe's name and stories on the regular. His reputation precedes him as a professional who might actually have some Bonefish DNA mixed in with his. 

Many have said that Joe knows all the bonefish in Biscayne Bay. This may be true but that is not what makes a great reputation. There is much more to becoming a legendary Captain. Like most of the legends I know, Joe has stayed curious and seeks to learn more about all things fishing in order to continue to improve.

I visited Joe in his home in Little Havana, Miami. He was gracious and welcoming and certainly told some great stories. I hope you will enjoy this podcast with Capt Joe Gonzales. If you do, please share this one with a friend.

I was in the boat recently with a couple of my friends, Jason Stemple and Jake Perry and we started talking about little things that make a big difference on fishing trips. So we each put our two-cents in on the things that are the cheapest and that might be the most important. If you could carry a couple of these items instead of just one, it would exponentially increase the enjoyment and productivity of the day. So here is our list of things that we think will make your fishing experience much better.

Hook Remover: When fishing for kingfish or barracudas (or anything with teeth) you will need this. Roughly $12 to $14 dollars. You will want an extra one because they don’t float and you might lose it. I prefer the Hook Extractor from Bass Pro Shops.

Wire Straightener: Probably the cheapest thing you will have on your boat, but this can be the most important for kingfish, barracuda, sharks or anything with teeth. If you have a leader straightener, $2 it can help you get back out there much faster. AFW Econo Wire Straightener $2.48. You will want an extra one of these for sure because it could easily blow off the boat.

An Extra Hat: Just get a hat that is given away or an old hat. You will want an extra in case it flies off your head.

Extra Glasses: It is great to have an extra pair for yourself or a friend. Just get some cheap pair for back up. You don’t need something that you would wear all the time, but just a pair to get you through the day.

Extra Buff: I will usually vacuum seal my Buff so that it won’t get moldy and will always be ready to go if I need it. A Buff is one of the few things that I will turn the boat around to make sure that I have it ready.

Sunscreen: This is something you probably have a lot lying around, so make sure that you have some extra just in case someone starts getting sunburned.

Cutting Dikes: In case you get a hook through the thumb (as I did recently, see the video below) you can use this to get rid of the barb on the hook. For tools like this one and the buff (ones that you might need in case of emergency), you can vacuum seal them all together so that they are always fresh and perfect.

Small First Aid Kit: In case you get a cut but don’t need stitches, you would want some alcohol and bandaids to just clean up the wound and stop the bleeding.

Extra Pair Of Pliers: I always use needle-nose pliers that I can cut with and I can get hooks out with them. I always have an extra pair of those in my bag that goes with me everywhere.

The Boat Plug: You would need a couple of extras. I keep an extra boat plug in my truck and a couple of extra ones in my bag and an extra one in the bilge right next to where it would go. At least have one extra if not more than that.

On this week's episode, Ana Leschishin (say Leschishin three times fast...we dare you!) a.k.a. Ana on Ice is our special guest. We've been wanting to have her on the show for quite some time and the timing couldn't have been more perfect because we were able to meet up in person. 

Ana takes us behind-the-scenes on what it's like to work in marketing for Outdoor Bound TV. We also talk a good deal about ice fishing, specifically up in Manitoba- which is not for the faint of heart. We talk about Manitoba's "fish first" practices via the use of barbless hooks and other means, and how there'd be something to gain if that would catch on in the States. 

It was a fun conversation we know you're going to enjoy!
