Peter explains the right drag setting and how to finish the job in...

In Crossfit, functional fitness and HIIT Intervals there are a lot of acronyms. When you start out in this world there will be a lot of things that don't make sense. So we are starting to breakdown some of these acronyms so you can understand them and work them into your workouts. The first one is EMOM which stands for Every Minute On The Minute and AltEMOM is Alternate Every Minute On The Minute....

I have been on a mission to find a way that I can have a trolling motor system that will never run out of juice. This year has been a real game changer because Power Pole came out with a new charger that charges on the go and I have switched to Lithium Pro Batteries. So the idea is that I will never run out of battery juice. I needed some advice so I invited Joe Cubberley to come on the show. I ha...

Bouncer Smith is a legendary Sportfishing Captain in Miami, FL. Bouncer gives some excellent advice on setting the drag for all gamefish. Use a hand scale every time. Point the rod directly at the scale and pull back until the drag slips at 20% of the breaking strength of the line. Use the scale to observe how the drag changes as your customers or friends pull on the line and bend the rod Practice...

I had the amazing chance to hop on a call with James who has not only been doing the 10k pushup challenge but has been recruiting others to join him. Listen in to hear about an entire office getting in on the challenge and some people who have never done consecutive pushups deciding to increase the amount they are doing for this challenge.

My challenge to you is to go follow 3 new positive accounts on social media that will encourage and empower you. Also, I would challenge you to then go and unfollow 3 accounts that are having negative effects on you. I would recommend checking out @nohlsen, @davidgoggins and @cameronhanes for motivation to better yourself daily and to get you through the February 10k pushup challenge.

This interview took place in Lake City, Florida where I got to sit down with a group of people who are starting a College Bass Fishing Team. Hunter Bland, Rob Chapman, Ron Ryals and legendary fisherman Shaw Grigsby. They talk about how they are going to start this team and how it will work for their college.

I got to talk to Chris Hessin who is taking part in the TRP Fitness Challenge of doing 10k pushups in February. He shares about how he is tackling the huge challenge and we also talk about the Miami Boat Show. If you are going to be down there, come by the Yellowfin booth and do some pushups with me.

After 16 seasons of Saltwater Experience we had our first Cobia show ever. It wasn't that we didn't like fishing for Cobia, or that we didn't know how, but it just never worked out. So after filming this show I thought it would be good to do a How 2 Tuesday on tips for fishing for Cobia.

Don't lose track of how many pushups you have done, download a spreadsheet to document how many you have done and how many you have left by CLICKING HERE. Some people have told me that they have been getting sore from all the pushups and my recommendation would be to try to change up how you are doing the pushup and how man you are doing. Keep your sets light and just do them frequently. After so...

With the daunting task of doing 10,000 pushups in a month I have been asked what are some of my favorite motivational books. Hopefully these books will inspire you and motivate you to keep pushing through this months challenge.

The February Pushup Challenge is underway and if you follow me on social media (@tom_rowland) then you know how many people are joining in on this. I'm really proud of everyone that has taken this huge task on and really pushed themselves so far. There are some tips that you should know when doing a challenge like this and I go into some ways to tackle a challenge like this without making yourself...

This podcast has been a long time coming, as Shaw has been on my list since the inception of this show. He has been an incredible helper and coach in my life. My first television exposure was due to Shaw Grigsby and he really brought me into the industry. After a few years, we decided to launch a show and Shaw was incredibly encouraging and even let us borrow his crew. He really cut the learning c...

Todays episode is coming from a Saltwater Experience shoot down here in the Florida Keys. One of the shoots we got to fish with Derek DeYoung and we went Barracuda fishing on the flats. In the wintertime, the barracudas will push up into the shallower water where they can ambush baitfish and make a living up there. For whatever reason, in the winter they really push up into the shallow water and i...

The burpee is not someone's favorite exercise, and its actually something that most people really don't like to do. If you aren't familiar with the burpee exercise it is when you start on your feet and drop down to do a push up, then move back to your feet and jump up in the air and clap your hands above your head. I really like the burpee because it is something that you can do absolutely anywher...

Todays guest is someone who I've wanted to have on the podcast for some time. I heard him on a podcast a few years ago and he has an incredible story. Growing up homeless and catching rattlesnakes as a kid, going to finding wrestling and turning into an elite power lifter. All the while Chris excelled in his job which turned into a career in the Aerospace world. Chris Duffin is an incredibly intel...

Two is one and one is none. That is to say that when you are packing it is best to pack two (especially if it is something cheap). Because you can't always know what will happen and having a back up will keep you prepared. For something like contact solution or sunglasses, it can really ruin your trip to go without, so why not just pack extra? For this episode I reflect on conversations with outdo...

The 20 for 20 challenge is wrapping up with the end of January just around the corner and February kicks off the next #TRPFitnessChallenge. We will be doing pushups. This challenge is scalable from 1,000 to 3,000 to 10,000. The point of the challenges is to be building habits and we do that by doing something every single day. We've already knocked out 20 minutes a day for 20 days, so now we are m...

One of my favorite fitness authors is a man named Ross Enamait.  Ross runs www.rosstraining.com and has written several books.  One of these books is called Never Gymless which shows the reader how to use the World as their gym.  With this knowledge, you are never gym less just as the title suggests.  One of my favorite workouts from his book is called the Interval Challenge and that is what we go...

After working in the music business for 16 years, Angie Scott has chosen to follow her passion and help other women embrace the sport of fishing. She is now Capt Angie Scott and is a guide as well as host of The Woman Angler Podcast. Through the podcast, Angie is reducing many of the intimidating barriers for entry that many women see as challenges. You can listen to her podcast by clicking here o...

We have had a lot of questions over the years about how to be comfortable around the water and I could think of no one better than a military dive instructor, Captain Scott Brown. We did a podcast recently with Scott's whole family talking about Hooked on Family and he returned today to tell us about how he is mentally and physically prepared for water. Also Scott shares how his kids are more comf...

The January Fitness Challenge of 20 minutes of exercise for 20 days straight is coming to an end. I was joined today by James Spaulding who has been a listener of the podcast and has kept up with the challenge. Also listen close as I announce the February Challenge at the end. Will you be joining me for February?

There is an example of character becoming destiny - imagine two boats. They are maybe in a race or setting out from the same port, and they look like they are going in the same direction. But they are a couple degrees off, and over time the boats start to get further and further away until they are out of sight. After enough time the two boats will end up in very different places. That is what thi...

I recently came across a video of a little kid casting under the mangroves and he catches a snapper while standing on a skiff. It reminded me of how I raised my kids and I reached out to Captain Scott Brown after watching this video of his son. I wanted to get him and his wife on the podcast, but it happened that his kids were also on the podcast. We talk about what it means to keep your kids outd...

Often when I'm filming Into The Blue I am sitting on the anchor and waiting for something to happen. During this time I will talk with people like Jason Stemple and Jake Perry. On the last trip we were talking about different things that we could talk about on the podcast. One of the things that I took with me was eliminating twists in the anchor line. Some people might not experience this because...
