Have you ever written down a series of random questions to ask your friend?  That's exactly what we have done today! PB& J both have a series of questions to ask each other that are completely unknown to the other.  Most are geared towards the outdoor lifestyle, but we throw in a few "SINGERS" to catch each other off guard.  We have lots of laughs and what we think are some common sense answers to some of the questions. Hope you enjoy this episode.

Fishing is the most common and popular outdoor recreational activity in the USA. Millions of people tie on their favorite bait, lure and rigs each day in hopes of catching that fish of lifetime. Most of those people find a good-looking fishy spot on the bank to set up and try to hook that fish of their dreams, rather than in an expensive boat. Today we talk about just that, Bank Fishing! Something most of us are very familiar with as we have grown up doing. We discuss some of the pro’s and con’s of bank fishing vs fishing from a boat. We also share some funny moments that happened on our most recent bank fishing excursion. Hope you enjoy this episode and if you have not yet, go ahead and click that Subscribe button!

Story Time! As Weekend Warriors ourselves, we've made our fair share of costly and dangerous mistakes out on the water. In this episode you'll hear a few of our not so proud moments.  Comical stories to real "Oh Hell no We are going to die!" moments.  Bottom line complacency creeps in on us all and way too often costs us money or pts is in a dangerous situation.  You all have stories of your own out there as well.  We would be excited to hear them. Hope you enjoy this episode.

In regard to hunting and fishing we've all heard the term "weekend warrior" ot one point in time.  In this episode we talk about what the meaning of fishing as a "Weekend Warrior" means to us.  For some it may seem as derogatory towards them and their ability to find and catch fish, for others they may wear the badge of honor.  Stick around and hang out with us as we try to put perspective to this all too common saying in the fishing community.  Be sure and watch out for Part 2 of this discussion coming soon as we share with you some bonehead mistakes we've made over the years of being Weekend Warriors ourselves.  Hope you enjoy this episode!

The Bass Spawn!! Is it happening on time, is it delayed due to weather conditions, are we over thinking it?

In this episode we swap stories of what at the time felt as life changing events of finding BODIES!! As we share our crazy stories with some cold 5x5 brews and laughs, you’ll find that we were both very lucky to have not discovered what we initially thought. Both stories are filled with plenty of suspense and plenty of laughs. We highlight the importance of having a plan and letting people know of your plan when out enjoying the outdoors, especially on Public Land. Thankfully no human remains were found, and everyone has lived happily ever after.
