Cut & Retie

This week, Hayden Sammak rolls into the Bunka with a fresh kill and a recipe for not screwing up your local wild brookie population, we cure a back pain with some pumpkin spice Trout Magnets, go shad fishing with Eraser Head, and find out why you can't hug Busta Rhymes with Euro-nymphing arms. 

Grab a slice of pizza and join Captain Eric Kerber and Joe's neighbor, Steve McIntyre, for a pre-New Year's party featuring mudslinging over fish mugging, the worst knots of 2022, a pickerel so big you have to beat it with pliers, and a beer-fueled fishing pact sure to dissolve after a couple morning Alka Seltzers.

This week, Jimmy Fee, Cheech DeiCicchi, and Adam Eldridge of On The Water smear the studio bathroom with tequila and conger eel slime, we celebrate the holidays with a smallie-slaying church lady, and ask Santa for new Shake Weights to make alone time in our ice shanties more festive. 

This week, Qualified Captain founder Aaron Stasiak tells us why you deserve to be shamed for striking fear into every one at the dockside Tiki hut, we conclude that the best way to help a fellow boater in a jam is to just keep fishing and pretend you don't see them, and a very scared man wearing a bright orange leaf tarp shares a turtle soup recipe. 

This week, Zach "Hammer" Miller drives a riding lawnmower to the Causeway to doom snook and kids wearing joggers, we give worship and tribute to Billy the Greek, explain how to sneak past Toll Booth Willy, and discuss why it's worth being a charter captain for tax purposes only. 

This week, Ross Robertson gets the lead out of his drive for Northeast salty glory from the comfort of an IKEA futon, Eric Kerber explains why people that crank spinning reels with their right hands fail during epic blitzes, and Miles Nolte reports that walleyes are pretty much a big joke in New Zealand, too. 

This week, tattoo artist Drew Wilson and I borrow bath robes from our friends' dads and get squirmy worm ink after botching the most important cast of our lives, discuss the British invasion of Tears For Muskie Fears, and listen to a grown striper fisherman cry over a case of WD-40

This week, we inject our frogs with deer scent and gaze into the future of American snakehead hatred, pile into the '91 Chevy Cavalier and search for a bowfin pond that doesn't exist, and find out what happens when you spike your hair with Elmer's Glue while sniffing Smelly Jelly behind the local bait barn.

This week, Joe and his best friend, Mark Wizeman, relive a Western road trip fueled by youthful ignorance and corporate money, Miles Nolte breaks up with the river of his dreams, and the Lawnmower Man spews stocked trout secrets from the tailgate of a 1984 hatchback.

Josh Mills beams in to discuss poo sandies and how your loosely-wrapped wooly buggers can help rebuild lives, we find out what a bright Atlantic salmon will do to a Wal-Mart special fly rod, and see who goes directly from hunting stocked trout to looking for a rocket queen. 

Veteran captain Eric Kerber gets loose in the Bunka and trashes your 45-minute voice messages regarding booking a charter, Party Marty has a pike and a case of Red Dog with your wife's name on it, we say goodbye to the striper community's most famous holy water dealer, and explain why a bail-less spinning reel won't impress the guys at walleye camp. 

Like the sage old regular at the end of the bar (not the creepy one, the cool one), kick back with Cut & Retie and enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of a fishing podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously and makes you a better angler by sharing its many mistakes and dissecting the shortcomings of others.
