Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
How many fish on our stringer, how many points on
our buck, how many feathers in our bag.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's how we keep score around here.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Sportsmen and women of all skill levels, let's disconnect from
the day to day grind and stay connected to the
outdoor activities that you and your family love. This is
the Doug Fike Show, brought to you by American Shooting Centers,

(00:34):
the largest non military shooting facility in Texas. At by
Riceland Waterfowl Hunting Club in Eagle Lake, a premiere waterfowling
experience available exclusively to members.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
And their guests. Now Here's dog Bike.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
By Sunday edition of the program starts right now, and
I'll start it with a reminder that this is Memorial
Day weekend, and just like I said yesterday, this is
an opportunity and I hope all of you take it
to just pause for one minute today. I don't care

(01:10):
if you're walking up and down the beach. I don't
care if you're wade fishing in the serf, whatever you're doing, barbecuing,
playing golf, you name it. Whatever you're doing, go ahead
and do it and enjoy it and have a lot
of fun. However, at some point today, at some point tomorrow,
take one minute. Just take one minute, and a real

(01:33):
minute too, Set a timer on your phone, a real
minute to just reflect on the sacrifice made by tens
of thousands of Americans starting in this country's infancy, who
gave their lives. This is what today is about. It's
not Veterans Day. That's November eleventh. That's when we honor

(01:56):
everybody who's serving. This is the day when we honor
everybody who chose to serve and ended up dying in
service to this country to keep us free. Oh make
sure you do that, and be sure tell everybody else
that you're with. Hey, look, you know what, how about
we take a one minute pause in whatever we're doing

(02:18):
here and just silently stand here and think about everybody
who gave it all.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Everybody who gave it all.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
And we have so many, so many soldiers who come
back torn up, losing parts of their bodies, and I
wish we did more for them. Frankly, I really do,
I truly do. We've got mental health issues with our soldiers.
I'm a big advocate for veterans who come back and

(02:49):
struggle with that. I talk to a woman on Wednesday
who works for the Veterans Administration, and she just patiently
sits by a phone all through her shift, every day,
every day a suicide hotline because almost two dozen, almost
two dozen veterans take their own lives every day in

(03:11):
this country. That's kind of messed up that we can't
take better care of them. It really is seven one three,
two two five seven ninety. Email me Doug Pike at
iHeartMedia dot com. Let's plow forward, shall we, uh? For
the the lighter side of today, today and tomorrow. Holidays
well today always for most people except Frankie and me,

(03:32):
and then for tomorrow we get that national holiday, which,
by the way, I think I need to I need
to talk to management about how.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Many days off.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't get when everybody else gets a Monday off
for President's Day or or Memorial Day or Veterans Day
or Labor Day, all of those Monday holiday. Well, Veterans
Day is always November eleventh. I take that back. In
any event, Yeah, I might have to have a little
visit with him about maybe taking Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Off those weeks. I'm not sure how that'll go. We'll
see what I can do. Matthew two. Oh wait a minute,
try again, Matthew t it up for us. Will you there?
Are you there?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I'm here, there you are? Now you're here? Go?

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Hey, what going on, Doug? How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know I'm doing all right.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I went out and hit a few balls yesterday and played,
but played about I think I played six holes at all.
I kind of jumped around to I was focused on
where my fishing spots were, and then I just find
an empty tea box and go play a hole.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
And I did pretty well. It was fun.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Oh there you go. I love the golf course ponds, man,
if you're lucky enough, that's where he landed the big one. Yes, sir, hey,
I got a question for you. We got I'm in
Fervorid County now, and we got a retention pond, and
we got a problem gator in there. To guess what
people people feed the gator. Of course, how big this

(04:59):
gator is, uh, it knows about ten inches long?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, if his nose is it was eyes to nose
is kind of the the default eyeballing way to tell
how big an alligator is. And if it's ten ten
inches from eyes to nose, so the folk lorick tale goes.
Then it'd be about ten feet long. Good have you
ever seen it out of the water.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Not not yet.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
It just goes and of course people take the trash,
whatever food they're gonna throw it. And so now you
know it's at the church. So the money that the
church would normally spend on charitable causes, they got to
hire somebody to come and get rid of that out here.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
The state.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
The state might do it for you.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yeah, the camp, right, but good luck waiting for that.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You know, I mean, I call it, call it game warden,
call your local game warden. They actually have training in
game warden school in how to remove allegance.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's pretty the the veterans who are teaching the course
get a big kick out of it because they get
to send those rookies in there to try to wrestle alligators,
and those rookies have no idea how to do it,
and invariably something goes.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Nobody gets bitten.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I think they keep the mouths going closed for the
early stages of the testing, but toward the end they're
they're wrestling real live, no gloves, you know, just bare
knuckle alligators, and it's pretty interesting to watch.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Well, the problem with alligators is once you seed them
and once they associate, then you know you got a problem.
And then you got to hire somebody. There's the state
will come, but it'll take them a long time. There's
good old boys you can hire. They'll just come and
do it, no.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Problem, daph.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, the good old boys will be there tomorrow or
be there this afternoon, because that's what they do and
they live for that.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Uh at the instry here in Florida.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I guess you got you got any idea how much
they're trying to charge for that.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
They ain't coming out of my wallet.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'll tell you that. No.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, i'd call a game warden.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I really would just say, look, the same become a
nuisance because people are feeding it, and that that will
trigger two red flags in a game warden's mind. It's
a nuisance because because it's become accustomed to people, and
the same people who are gonna look like lunch if
they walk over to the edge of the lake with nothing.
Then somebody walks over there with their little dog on

(07:29):
a leash, that's gonna look the same as a dead
chicken to that alligator.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
That's a snack.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, it's just getting getting loose, stretching out for before
he really eat something.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, that's a that's a dangerous thing.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Man.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
You got a great show man. I love listening to you. Gosh,
public service announcements, don't see wild's game.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Thank you. You know what.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I'm gonna put that on my notes today because that's
something that comes up probably two or three times a year.
But every time it comes up, I end up spending
a lot of time on it because people just don't
really these are not pets. That's why Jellstone Park has
so many signs in there that say, don't feed the animals,
stay away from the animals.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
They're wild animals, and these people don't get it.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah. You ever run across a big horn sheep that's injured, man?

Speaker 7 (08:19):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, there's a lot out there.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
You've started something really good here, Matthew, and I think
it'll carry me through a good part of this program.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
All right, Bud, you have give one now, yes.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Sir, see, good luck with that alligator too, Holy cow,
it do not feed the alligators.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh my gosh, I saw just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
It was a week, week and a half Ago a
story about a woman who was walking along the edge
of a lake.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
This was down in Florida and had her little dog
with her.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Alligator eases on over there, gets closed, tries to take
the dog. The woman try it, gets involved as best
she can. She was older, and she ended up getting
dragged into the lake, which is horrible.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
That was it for her. She couldn't defend herself. There
was no way.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yes, Steve Wade into Texas game wardens will remove nuisance alligators.
Use that word, use the word let them know that
people are starting to feed this beast.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's just.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
How in the world can a bunch of people grown
up enough to have driver's licenses and be able to
drive their families to church go out there and feed
an alligator. They've got to be smarter than that. Surely
there's some way they're smarter than that, Matthew, But maybe not.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Maybe not.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Maybe you're gonna have to help them and get that
thing out of there before it chomps somebody, and rest
assured it will sooner or later somebody. There's going to
be an Easter egg hunt next Easter, and all the
kids are gonna be running aroun on the edge of
the lake, and that alligator has been fed all for
another year. And then everybody shows up down there that

(10:08):
day and nobody's got a chicken in their Easter basket.
They've got Easter eggs, and well, if you didn't bring
me a chicken, I'll just grab one of those. They
look tasty. That's so sad, that's so sad, and so
just so misguided. Somebody somewhere thought it was a good
idea to feed alligators.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's not the same with deer.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
If you see a dough in the forest, there's a
rash of those stories as well.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Every year in springtime, I found a baby deer in
the woods and I took it home to feed it
because I didn't think its mother was anywhere near.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, yeah, its mother was near all right. When that
thing started bleeding all that, Yeah, bay just just crying
for its mom. And its mom wasn't beyond into earshot.
Its mam was there hiding in the woods, scared of
you while you picked up her baby and put it

(11:06):
in a car. You're a deer napper, that's what you are.
You're a deer napper if you do that, and there
are if you if you do believe that that an
animal has been abandoned. If you truly believe that, make
a phone call once again to the game wardens, and
just if you want to make sure it has a
happy ending, just hang around till the game warden gets there,

(11:27):
show them where the falling is, and if they determine
it needs some help, they will take it to a
wildlife rehabit place somewhere close by. Oh, it's just so simple,
and yet people do it. The stories out of national
parks where people get banged up and torn to pieces
by mostly by bison.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Bison. We'll talk about that when we get back from
a break.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Maybe if you've got a story about somebody feeding wild
animals that they probably shouldn't have been and it got
them in a little hot water or got them hurt,
I'd love to hear it this morning. Shoot this corner,
palmerhogh Went twenty ninth Street in Texas City is a
place where you can go to You can actually just
go in there and sit down. They're seating in there.

(12:10):
It's pretty rough, but they're seating in there and it's comfortable.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Seating is what it is.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Because so many people have sat in there over the
better part of forty something years now and just told
stories about the shooting sports. Maybe a great hunt they had,
maybe a great score they had in Sporting Clays recently
or something like that. Sporting Clays wasn't even around when
Jerry and Jay, well, when Jerry started Jerry TK started

(12:37):
up Shooters Corner. But it is now and it has
been since they've been around. That's about the same time.
I think, Actually, more I think about it, they probably
started up that store Jerry did back when Sporting Clays
was just a.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Baby, and since then they have grown in.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Helping customers as well or better than any other retailer
I know anybody in the gun business, and they have
also helped I don't know, just countless numbers of my
listeners that I've sent down there to get some stuff done.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's an old school gun store, that's all it is.
It's all it's ever tried to be.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
That's all it ever will be a place where you
can take a broken gun and make it better.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's a gun hospital, gun treaws.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
You in it.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Really, you can take a gun and there's pretty beat up,
it'll come back to you working like new.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
They have rifle, shotguns, handguns, new and pre owned.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
They've got Amo, They've got Camo, They've got reloading supplies
and optics and everything you would imagine in a gun store.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And pretty much nothing else because that's all they need.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
They don't try to be anything but what they are,
and they're very good at what they do. Two of
the best guns Smith's, Cherry and j are that I
know in the entire state of Texas. Shooters Corner Palmer Highway,
twenty ninth Street forty plus here is if you wear
a badge for a living, you get a discount which
is really really cool. Shooters cornertx dot com. These shooters

(14:02):
cornertx dot com. Hey twenty two on Sports Talk seven
ninety this Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, Memorial Day Weekend.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Thank you all for joining in.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, that whole alligator thing, I was telling them Frankie
during the break alligators.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
You just you can feed birds anywhere you want to.
I don't care. In fact, there's a really cool thing, Frankie.
Have you seen this little helmet you can put on
that it just it hides your face, but right in
front of your face is a little bird feeder. So
what you do is you go out and sit on
the back porch, and they do it for hummingbird feeders.

(14:40):
With hummingbird feeders as well. You put this helmet on,
go out in the backyard, sit in a lawn.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Chair, and these birds are just like six inches in
front of your face and they can't see you because
there's kind of a shield. But yeah, there they are.
I think if anybody's that tough, what they ought to
do is take.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
That shield off and just sit there face to face
with the birds and see if they don't get packed
right in a nose.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
You could lose your sight that way. You'd have to
at least wear sunglasses.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'd be willing to take a shot in the nose,
but I'm not taking one in the eye from some
little cardinal with one of those arrowhead beaks they've got,
And a humming bird would be worse. Probably hummingbirds are
very aggressive too to their own kind.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I wouldn't want to.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Put up mirrored windows in the house anywhere, because we
used to have that problem when I worked at CCA
and their older offices, not where they are now, but
over off of Woodway at six' ten AND i found
a humming bird on the ground during it was kind
of during their, migration mating season, whatnot and apparently a

(15:50):
lot of them get pretty, aggressive and this one had
just slammed his head into the window hard enough that
it knocked him. Out AND i picked him, up took
him up into the office with me and just kind
of held on to him until he kind of wrapped
him up in some little dish towel or something we,
Had and as soon as he started moving around again

(16:12):
he woke. UP i picked him up and just kind
of cradled him in the palm of one hand and
put the other one domed it over the, other and
walked him back outside and just opened my. Hand he
kind of looked at, me and he looked at the,
sky and he chose, sky and off he.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Went he was. Okay it was. Cool little things like.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
That, man if you're not looking for, wildlife you're not
going to see it most of the, time especially in urban,
situation in urban settings and even in. Suburbs but if
you go looking for, it there's a lot more there
than you. Think, Hey, david what's up?

Speaker 8 (16:46):
Man, Yeah, DOUG i know you've talked about this. Before
forward facing so.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Dung, Oh, yeah a lot, SURE i.

Speaker 7 (16:54):
Was it hit.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Me you, know The parks And Wildlife department got on
drones real quick and terms of helping, hunters, yeah good.
POINT i think you might can use them for locating,
game but they, said, no you're not going to be
able to use a drone.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
As a hunting.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
Aid i'm not necessarily proposing making forward facing sonar, illegal
BUT i do think it's much like a drone when hunting.
It it reduces the fish's. Elusiveness SO i don't know

(17:32):
if The parking whilefe apartment maybe didn't anticipate. That the
technology has often had happens in many. Industries you, know
the technology gets ahead of the ability to govern.

Speaker 7 (17:44):
It BUT i would have.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
To think, too you, know just as they would, say
you're not going to get a.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Buck in the record book if it was shot with
the aid of a.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Drone, yeah you're now you're opening a really interesting an.
ORMs i like. WHERE i like where you're.

Speaker 8 (18:02):
Going, yeah forward facing. Sonar maybe the same should be
for record. Baths if you use use something really helped
are reduced to that fish's ability to elude, you then.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
No but, Anyway, yeah that's a great thing to toss out. There,
DAVID i appreciate, that, Man thank, You thank, you sir.
Audios what a great, topic holy, count and what a
great twist on.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
It.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Drone you can't use a drone to find the big
buck deep in the. Woods you can go into the
woods and you can look for that, buck but you
can't use that drone to find that buck and then
go in there and shoot. It and once, again you
can use drones to look all over your, property you
just can't use them to help you with, honting use

(18:54):
ford facing sonar all you. Want but if you catch
a twenty pound bass and that thing was on and
you that's how you found it doesn't go in the record.
Books Barry Saint clair didn't have. That why should his
record be become null and void because somebody used technology

(19:16):
that wasn't even available when he was fishing to beat.
Him that's that's an interesting take on.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
It it really. Is thank you for, That, David Holy.
Cow let's see what's On dan's. Mind, damn what's up?

Speaker 7 (19:29):

Speaker 5 (26:48):
Chance?

Speaker 9 (26:49):
Oh, yeah you, know and, uh BUT i, mean sometimes

to defend, ourselves so you, know, yeah and you know,
WHAT i never want to have to. Uh and you
Know i've told you before THAT i you, KNOW i
carry a gun in the morning When i'm working over

(27:11):

Yourself, yeah you AND i are gonna win a whole
lot of fist, Fights. DAVE i, know that's.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
RIGHT i.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
Did one THING i did figure out is take your
keys and put them in your hand and have one
of the keys sticking out and then act like you're
having a heart attacking them and fall down and stab
them in the shin and get up and.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Run, lord that's a pretty complex. Idea there a lot
of moving parts in that.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
One, well it's a.

Speaker 9 (27:47):
Defense, YEAH i know What i'm saying You if you
ever got hitting the shin, now, YEAH i. Know on
the on the, Uh, doug Mister. Doug on the feeding,
animals feral animals.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
And stuff and stuff that are in the parking.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
Lot and we've talked about this. Before do not feed the,
dogs the cats and the birds and, stuff Because i'm
the one that has to bury.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Them.

Speaker 9 (28:12):
Uh and and people don't they don't think about that
because you got a parking lot where they're eating food out,
there and people they don't even. Care they just run
over them and they're they're.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Done. Yeah that's another, one is if you.

Speaker 9 (28:26):
DO i was, taught AND i told you this.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Story.

Speaker 9 (28:29):
UH i was going behind a stove filled lake over,
there and there was a pawne out there in the,
road AND i took a clean cow AND i picked
it up AND i put it over the. Side And, mama,
mama she was running back and forth on those side
of that.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Fence i'm, sure and you and she.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
Was she was.

Speaker 9 (28:47):
Mad BUT i, mean at LEAST i got. IT i
got that paone off of the hot cast off.

Speaker 7 (28:52):
There.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
YEAH i think if you could have translated that dose
that those noises just, like get back over here on
your side of the. Fence you get over here right, now.
MISTER i heard that a little bit WHEN i.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Was, LIKE i just laid, HEY i laid that little.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
FALL i laid it over there in the, grass and
THEN i ran back and got back in the.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Car, yeah you.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Know, oh and you, know and men don't shoot you're
gone off out there in The National. Forest they they'll
stop sign over there when you come out of A
Stubblefield lake road there on the thirteen seventy. Four people
go over there and then they shoot their gune through the. Stops,
yeah they use it for target. Practice why would you do?

Speaker 2 (29:32):
THAT i don't.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Know but almost every road sign starting about what fifteen
miles outside ninety nine going, around almost every sign has
holes in.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It AND i don't get that, either you.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
KNOW i, mean, uh, well aren't there places this is
a good. Question aren't there places in The National forest
that you can register.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
In and go and do target?

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Practice?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
YEAH i believe like y'all got.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
The gun ranges that y'all have turned to.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Just go To american shooting. Centers but see that's inconvenient
for some. People and plus when you go to a gun,
range here's the, Deal dan or a. Day think about.
This if you if you go to a gun, range
they're gonna require two. Things, one you're gonna have to
wear hearing and eye protection and all, that and you're
gonna have to be. Sober and if.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
You're, driving that's. Another that's a good.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Thing that's that's quite an impactful piece of what's going.
On with every sign that's got a bullet hole in,
it probably not by.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
The so you know, WHAT i agree with you one hundred.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
Percent and uh and let me just put this. WAY
i know somebody that crawled up in a deer stand
that was drinking all night long and then crawled up
here and fell out and broke both.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Risks so don't do.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
That you, know at least he didn't get.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Killed, yeah he's very, lucky that's all that happened to.

Speaker 9 (30:55):
Him, yeah, Y i, mean you, Know and then Like i'm,
saying always tell, people uh we tell you on this, show,
uh safety safety in the, woods safety on the, water
and double double safety in the. Hoods and, Hey i'm telling.
You and LIKE i, SAID i have my dog and
my thirty eight this morning over there On parker and,

(31:15):
airlines and you, know and people they DON'T i kind you,

Speaker 9 (31:29):
Well i'm SAYING i don't want to see, Yeah, WELL

Saying and then and then my my move IS i
Got i'll have THE i got my gun on the
left hand side in that way like, uh, like, uh
what's his name of Bat? Masterson? Yeah, yeah and then,
Uh i'll just start asking Like i'm having a heart.

(31:51):
Attack and if they got a gun on, Me i'll
just start kind of kneeling down to the ground and
then reach down.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
There and then defend. Myself if that's a kind of,
gun WELL i.

Speaker 9 (32:01):
DON'T i don't want to do.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
That nobody.

Speaker 9 (32:03):
Does that's like, playing, hey play, football playing in. BASEBALL
i heard a young man yesterday talking about on The
astros that he's playing all these different.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Positions, yah That's maurice and, yeah and he's.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
Imagining how he would Be he closed his, eyes laid
down and imagine how that he would be doing that
same play that that person would.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Do.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yep, yeah he's a smart young. Man he's a good player.
TOO i got a, Bound. DAVE i hate to do
it to, you, Man.

Speaker 9 (32:34):
No, no, no, Man god bless. Everybody i'll be seeing
Coach kubiak out. There my Cousin ron and, Everybody So
i'll send you some.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Pictures, yeah do, That thank, You. Dave i'll see you.
Buddy all, right, audios all, right we gotta take a
little bak here on the way.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Out Riceland Waterfowl club talk To David pruitt yesterday and
he kind of explained how much work is going on
out there on that Whole Eagle lake. Prairie, wow you
AND i are doing whatever we're doing all summer. Long
he and a couple of other hands of his and
mostly his hands are out there pretty much every. Day,

(33:11):
really it's kind of like farming in many. Ways it is.
Farming you're farming for. Ducks you have to prepare your,
crops you have to prepare your, water you have to
do all prepare the. Blinds all of these things have
to be done sometime between now and TiAl, season and
they're not going to do. Themselves and one of the
things that he takes great pride in at the beginning

(33:32):
of every season is that he has.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Got plenty of, Blinds he's got plenty of.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Water and because he's got plenty of, water that's surrounded
by farmland a lot of rice this year, too which is.
Good you put all that together in what you end
up with his ducks and some geese. Too it we're
getting a fair number of geese into this.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Region.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
AGAIN i don't think it will ever recover to what it.
Was But david's not focused on. Them he's focused on.
Ducks and if you like duck hunting and you didn't
get nearly as many ducks as you thought you would last,
year you ought to yourself and your buddies to look
into a membership out At Riceland Waterfowl. Club all of
the land they, have all of these thousands of acres

(34:17):
and only hunted by members and their.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Guests that's. It there's no guided hunting that goes on out.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
There there's no special treatment for groups that have been
there a long. Time it's a very fair system he's
come up with to where everybody gets a shot at
the best places every. Day everybody has equal chance to
get what they, want and it turns out pretty well
because he's been doing this fifty. Years he's been doing

(34:45):
it fifty. Years Riceland Waterfowl club dot. Com if you
want someplace good to go hunt ducks this, Year Ricelandwaterfowl
club Dot COM a fifty On Sports talk seven ninety
The Dugpike. Show thanks for listening to do, it pppreciate.
IT i want to get back to this forward facing
sonar conversation we had a little while ago that puts

(35:07):
the forward facing sonar in the same class as, drones
wherein you can't use it for.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Taking potential record.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Animals, well In, texas you can't use drones to help
you hunt deer at.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
All that's against the.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Rules you need to get your own two feet on
the ground or get in the truck and drive. Around
you can shoot out the window of the truck on
your own, property but you can't use a drone to
go find those. Deer AND i think that's a good.
Rule and applying that to fishing and to forward facing,
SONAR i THINK i think it would be enough to

(35:56):
make it unlawful to submit for or state records any
fish caught using forward facing, sonar because that would that
would that would be a game, Changer there's no question about.
It it would be because right now all these tournaments
are being won by people using that, technology and instead

(36:19):
of getting a five pound sack that averages five, pounds
some of these guys are getting, six seven to eight
pound averages and turning in just ridiculously heavy sacks of five.
Fish and these are people who don't relative relative to
the professional bass fishermen of my era and even of

(36:39):
fifteen twenty years, ago these are fishermen who have relatively little.
Experience they're very well versed in using, technology but they
don't know how to fish without, it or they're certainly
not as good without it as they are with. It
because AND i go back to that quote from a,

(37:02):
long long time. AGO i go back to this.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Guy who was asked why he didn't have a heavier
sack of fish or whatever it. WAS i can't.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Remember a young pro in one of the bigger tournaments this.
Year he, said if you can't see, them you can't catch.
Them and that sums it. Up that's how dependent already this,
generation this newer generation of professional fishermen and skilled diameters.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Too that's indicative.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Of how locked in they are and how dependent they.
Are that's like saying you can't walk without crutches when
your legs are perfectly, fine you can't get to the
store without your. Bicycle, well yeah you. Can you can
walk to the, store but it's just not as efficient

(37:55):
and that's what's going on With ford facing, sonar AND i,
HOPE i really hope that that we can come to
some sort of. Understanding BUT i Think david hit the
nail on the. Head uh take away the opportunity to
set a record with that. Stuff AND i think the
people who are uh in professional, guides especially who are

(38:18):
trying to get their clients a ten pound, bass they'll
keep using.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
It and that's. Fine that's fine because and.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
The truth of it, is most people aren't keeping bass,
anyway especially younger. Anglers they're not gonna they're not gonna
put a large mouth bass on a file at.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Table oh my, god that's just. Sacrilege let me go
talk To let me go talk To allen, here hold,
on let me get there and get. Here Hey, allen
what's up? Man what are you? Thinking?

Speaker 7 (38:45):
Hey you?

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Morning are you? Doing i'm? Good, so first of, all
the WAY i look at that, is, uh you, know
this world we're moving, forward and technology is moving. Forward and,
Yes i'm for not using forward face and sonar in.
Tournaments i'm all for, that, right do it the old fashioned.
Way but as far as as far as things, go

(39:09):
we are moving forward and technology is being created every
day to make things better and more exciting and, whatever
and and so you know that's kind of my philosophy
on That i'm not going to back up when we're
supposed to be moving forward in this. Country and LIKE i,
SAID i wouldn't use it in a tournament because because
then you've got to that makes you more of a
better fisherman if you've got, to if you've got to just, Say,

(39:31):
Okay i've got my graph AND i gotta go find
fish the old fashioned. Way that's file with. Me but,
anyway that's kind of WHAT i was thinking about. That
but one more question, is.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Uh do you THINK i could find some piece.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Of shotguns out of gun shoe from like a.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
STORE i would most of the bigger stores, now bigger gun,
stores And i'm thinking, specifically and even small ones Like
Shooters corner down there at uh In Texas, city they
have used, Firearms Carter's Country carries use.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Firearms all these.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Places collectors is a giant, bunch just a huge pile
of used. Firearms and if you're buying it from a
reputable place or even a reputable dealer in a gun,
show you you should have any problem and you should
be able to trust it as being good and you're
gonna get what you pay. For but you got to
be careful with some of those, guys because if you

(40:27):
if they don't have a, storefront and if you don't
have any idea of knowing where that game or that
gun really came from and how it's been cared for and,
whatnot unless you yourself can eyeball a gun and just
have a pretty good idea of its condition and what
might need fixing and might. Not i'd stick with someplace

(40:48):
where you can go back in with the gun and
the receipt in your hands and say this just isn't working.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Exactly, yeah, Okay i'm just cheerous about.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
That, yeah and there's nothing wrong with.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
GUNS i know this guy shows coming up by enjoy
going to, them but from, them so you know.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
What you can find find, There and a lot of,
times a lot of times IS ammo at pretty good.
Prices you, know when you're buying in a ziplock bag
instead of in a fancy, box that's.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
A whole different.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
DEAL i.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Appreciate, yeah, Thanks, Ally, okay let me get this take
care of. That carry of the two The ford fishing
zonar THING i.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Agree technology is moving, Forward but here's what's going to
end up, happening uh. If and it's not gonna be
with largemouth bass because nobody's keeping large mouth bass, anyway
really not not there's not a significant number of them
landing on cleaning. Tables but using that technology now for,
croppie for white, bass for, stripers for, whatever, well the

(41:51):
crappy of the white bass and the, catfish if you're
using that for them now at some point because there
are so many people, fishing and if there are so
many people using that technology to catch those, fish where
the limits twenty twenty five a day per. Person now
we're going to have a limit. Issue we're going to
Have we're gonna have to change limits on some of those.

(42:12):
Fish because with forward facing. Sonar ask for, us he'll
tell you it's pretty easy to find crappy and white.
Bass Ask Faux, pro he'll tell you he AND i did.
THAT i made a little trip up there and fished
with him a while, back and it's just there they.
Are put your lure right there and get a bite every.

(42:33):
Time and that's gonna make it real easy for four
people in a boat to go out and catch one
hundred white bass huntre, croppy whatever it, is and when
before they would have to at least spend the whole
day doing, That now they'll be able to do it
in a couple of hours because as soon as they
realize they've caught the last fish off the, spot, yeah

(42:54):
they'll go to another spot and just keep looking for.
Them it's, changed it, is that's all it. Is and
it's rightful to be cautious with these kinds of changes
because we don't know where they're taking. Us and it's
great to have discussions like this because it's going to
help us figure it. OUT i appreciate all the input
you guys, give AND i make notes on all of it,

(43:15):
too and it really. Is it's fascinating to see how
people see this differently THAN i, do and that's what
helps me form my opinions for long term prospects for
This Timber Creek Golf club wide. Open right, now there's
people tee and off at this. Moment i'm SURE fm
twenty three fifty one in friends would been there for
the better part of thirty years now almost twenty seven.

(43:38):
Holes great fun to. Play it's not gonna beat you
up if your game's not super. Tight if you're Not,
Scotti scheffler or anybody else who's playing today up up
In North, texas just go it there and play Timber.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Creek it's a lot of. Fun play it from the
tea box that's best for.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
You that'll make it even more, fun and then go
inside afterward and get something to eat and go inside.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
It, actually just stop at the. Turn there's a nice turnhouse.
There they've got a lot of good food and snacks
and aiming fluid and everything else you might need to
get around the back. Nine if your game, sucks just
go over TO Jj wood's place on the right side
of the range. There if you're looking out from the pro,
shop there's a ten building over there that is full

(44:19):
of instructors who want nothing more than to help you.
Out great place for tournaments, too a lot of. Fun
i've played, THAT i don't know two, three four.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
DOZEN i don't know how many Times i've gone down
there and teed it up with a bunch of friends
and had a great. Time Timber Creek Golf club dot
com is website Timber Creek Golf club dot. Com we'll
take a little break here and be right Back Doug
Pike show On Sports talk seven Ninety.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
All, right off we. GO i mean to make a
little note.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Here that's got an email From dennis about surf, fishing
And i'm Gonna i'm gonna talk about that a little.
LATER i can write that word real. Quick, okay there we,
Go i'll Get i'll get to that, Later. DENNIS i
want to go ahead and go back up to The
Charles Schwab cup ongoing up in well Outside. Dallas close

(45:05):
enough that just get ON i forty five and you
be headed toward the tournament if you want to go
up there right. Now M, Yeah, colonial that's where they
have Fort worth Technically. Colonial Ben, Griffin Ben griffin is
at thirteen under par along With Matti, schmidt both of,
them they're just bookends man sixty, six sixty, three sixty,

(45:28):
eight and that's For Griffin Matty.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Schmidt they could just put little.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Parentheses underneath they're not, parentheses but quote marks underneath all
three of those, scores because he's had the exact same
tournament so.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Far Ricky fowler all over the.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Place he shot seventy On, thursday and he backed that
up with a sixty four and then a sixty seven.
Yesterday he's four shots off the lead of those, two and.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
The two of them going, Out schmidt And. GRIFFIN i like.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
THEM i wouldn't bet against, Him but at the same,
time they're being chased by some pretty good guys who
have the ability to go really. Low and if they
come out and get low, quick if they pick up
three or four shots pretty quick, quickly to be grammatically,

(46:19):
Correct griffin And schmidt might just kind of look at
each other and, go how are We are we really this?
GOOD i Think Ben griffin's got the, shot the better
shot Over Matty, SCHMID i really. Do if it's going
to be one of those, two it's going to Be.
Griffin and then there's this. One, well, ok Sh. Batia
he's at eight under, par AND i like the way he's.

(46:39):
Playing he's left, handed which makes me like him more,
anyway because that's the same WAY i. AM i can
relate to his swings much. More and you, KNOW i
actually can SEE i played enough golf and had enough
lessons and had. Instructors poor guys try to stumbling over,
WELL i mean you know you have to do this
with your left, SHOULDER i mean your right. Shoulder they

(47:03):
always correct. Themselves you could speaking right. HANDED i understand
right handed, language AND i can do the conversion in
my head faster than you can spit it out when
you're trying to try to remind yourself that you need
to say something. Different, anyway the guy behind him directly
on the leaderboard officially is a guy you've heard.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Of It's Scotty. Scheffler scheffler shot sixty four yesterday just
to show them he.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Could and if he were to go out and knock
off three or four early birdies by the time let's see,
one two, three he's got three or four groups ahead of.
Him maybe if he can get, It if he can
get two, birdies and the people in front of him
don't over the first three or four, holes they're going

(47:50):
to be kind of scratching their heads and wondering what he's.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Doing and once AGAIN i wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Unless Scotty scheffler is lower than about fifteenth position On sunday,
MORNING i can't count him.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Out he's just that. Good he's just that.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Good seven one, three, two one two five seven Ninety
email Me Doug pike at iHeartMedia dot. Com by the,
WAY i like seeing these tournaments when this has become
kind of a, trend go away from that what awkward three,
four five years now where it took twenty five under
to win and a lot of casts unless you were

(48:28):
at THE Us open or any.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Major, really the majors do a good job of.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Fixing up the golf courses where these guys really have
to go to work and they really will be challenged
mentally as well as. Physically they can all hit it pretty,
far they can all hit it pretty, straight they can
all gouge a wedge out of the. Rough but when
you start throwing in little wrinkles that they're not accustomed,

(48:54):
to you start with a lot of false fronts on,
greens for, example where if you if you hit it
up to the right, plateau it'll. Stick but if you
missed that plateau by a foot and a, half you're
trying to hit a target about the size of a.
Bathtub if you miss, that then the ball is going
to roll off the. Green that's master. Stuff that's some

(49:15):
of the trickery from over there at Augusta national that
has played those guys, forever and it really takes the
best person, overall the best golfer, overall to win that
tournament every, year and the same with some of these
tournaments now even not so not such big spotlight, events
but just everyday tournaments week to week where you've got

(49:39):
to really play some good golf and you have to
really think your way around these golf courses to put
up the scores these guys are even putting.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
UP i don't think anybody's getting to. Twenty the two
closest are. Thirteen and we've had so many tournaments in
the past where the guy walking up to the tea
box on the last, guy, well the last group on
the tea box on A monday morning might be one
guys at nineteen and the other ones at twenty, one
guys at twenty one and the other guys at eighteen

(50:09):
somewhere around thirty, five forty shots below par for the
two of. Them it's just. CRAZY i like. THIS i
like feeling Like i'm.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Well it's not relatable to me Any any red number
at this point in my life right now is somewhat.
Unrelatable ALTHOUGH i had a glimmer of a glimmer of brilliance,
YESTERDAY i played six holes BEFORE i really started. WELL
i INTERMITTENTLY i would play a couple of holes and
then fish a little, bit then play a couple of,
holes and then fish a little. Bit BUT i ended
up playing six holes and was pretty much even for

(50:41):
those six IF i recount them. Correctly there was One
i'd forgotten about it an extra had STROKE i. Had but,
YEAH i had two birdies and two bogies and two.
Pars it was pretty. Good the last BOGIE i was
very proud. Of it was on eighteen over at Black
hawk and dead into the. WIND i had a very
full five iron THAT i had absolutely pin high to

(51:05):
about eighteen twenty feet and made the. PUTT i actually
made the, putt and nobody was more surprised than, me
all by. Myself nobody to, hear nobody to tip a cap,
too and a big smile on my face go shake their.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Hand BUT i knew, it so that was. Cool seven one.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Three two one two five seven ninety email on Me
doug pick at iHeartMedia dot. COM i got an email
From michael And michael and this is some of the
wonky stuff in. Golf this is some of the technical
stuff in, golf but it's really fun to talk about
and analyze and think. About brilliant analysis from him On
Jordan' speace's wrist issues and speak was taught from early

(51:47):
on to keep his left wrists. Bow this is coming
From Michael. BASICALLY I i'm not That i'm not such
an astute observer THAT i would know all these, things
But michael, is And i've gotten emails from him. BEFORE
i believe that that share some pretty inside and detailed

(52:08):
knowledge of the golf. Swing so, anyway he was talking
about How speith was taught to keep his left wrist
bode during his entire down swing and follow, through and
that would help keep his club face square to the
target all the way, through no matter what else he.
Did michael knows and contacted one of the country's better.
INSTRUCTORS i doesn't matter who, anyway the bottom line is

(52:33):
that guy agreed With this guy's been in forty five
years of.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
It he agreed With.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Michael That speith was, doing but what he was doing
was what caused his wrist to fall, apart and that
instructor said he believed that the same move was also
going to end up teared Up spiece's left, elbow and
he didn't think That jordan would make it through the
end of the, season which is be very disappointing because

(53:01):
just as he's starting to really get back and get some,
Rhythm i'd like to see him get years more at
full speed ahead back where he, was and that's hard
to do if you're. Hurting he, Also michael said Thinks
nellie cordis struggles recently are rooted in a change she

(53:21):
made about the same time she started, struggling and that
was to change flames of her swing at the. Top
she's coming up to the top on one plane and
then dropping her hands and flattening out on the way.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Down and that.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Is a lot to pack and unpack on every swing
of the golf, club every single, swing and it seems
it might be causing her, inconsistency and that's Never inconsistency
is the the the devil of. Golf if you can't
make two swings the same, way it's gonna be really

(53:55):
hard to get any. GOOD i enjoy hearing this stuff,
TOO i really. Do for people who don't just play,
golf they study. It the mechanics of a golf. Swing
they're fascinating to. Me And i've always been more of
a field player really and early on When i'd go
to Charity scrambles to play as team's so called celebrity or, whatever,
which by the, way it's just just. ME i don't

(54:16):
fancy myself anything like, that BUT i do like playing
In Monday scrambles if anybody needs a fourth, anyway the
club pros would always stop by and, say, hey, man
let me see you hit a. Couple And i'm thinking
in my, Head i'm going, no, no, no, no don't
do this to, me BECAUSE i know what's gonna come
AFTER i hit a, couple and i'd i'd hit a few,
balls and they'd always have a tip for, me you,
know if you would just do this on the way,

(54:38):
back or if you would just shift your weight this,
way and my brain would just start to sizzle and,
spin AND i can tell by what the ball's. DOING
i know What i'm doing. Wrong Jim murphy taught me
that many years. Ago he taught me to self, correct
And i've become pretty good at. That and Then jim's,

(54:58):
Protegee Tommy, Bryn tommy O'Brien is helping me out now At,
blackhawk and he gives me little tidbits of information at a,
time but little. Bites he doesn't ask me to eat
the whole elephant at. Once it's little bites a couple
of weeks in between changes, too to make sure the
last one's had time to become the new. Normal he's really.
Good if you need some help with your, game that's

(55:20):
just gonna last and stand the test of.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Time as they, say we're gonna take this.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Break then when we get, Back i'm gonna share with
you something That Captain scott sent to me about. Golf
and in case you didn't know, It scott actually was
before he devoted his life to fishing and his. Grandkids
he was a very good, player a very good, golfer
and it was interesting what he found and what he

(55:48):
shared with. Me And i'll analyze that in a couple of.
Minutes on the way, Out i'll tell you About American Shooting.
Centers America's Shooting center has been out there for the
better part of thirty, years now close to, it, ANYWAY i.
Think and all they've done in the entire time they've
been there is just keep getting bigger and better and
bigger and. Better they're located inside The Attics, reservoir which

(56:08):
becomes a reservoir when the water comes up with a big.
Storm that's where a lot of storm water gets caught
and held until the dust. Settles and right, Now America Shooting,
centers after ABOUT i think eight or ten years under
The washful live AT O.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Riggi the guy who owns it now has just become.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Well it's been for a while now and continues to
be the largest non military shooting facility at all Of.
Texas they have three complete sporting. Clays that's Because ed
loves sporting plays and he's very good. Attitude don't bet against.
Him three complete sporting plays. COURSES i believe it's ten
trap and skeet. Fields they have five stands setups around the.

(56:52):
Property there's a beginner's wing shooting. Area there is a
beginners or if you'd just like to shoot rim fire,
rifle there's a silhouette, range a pop up silhouette range
that goes out to two hundred and fifty yards and that's.
Boy you touch off a twenty two round at two
hundred and fifty, yards you have time to make a
sandwich and eat it before that bullet gets out. There

(57:15):
the rifle and pistol range start at five. Yards no rifles,
there thank you very. Much and then the rifle range
actually goes all the way out to six hundred. Yards
that's a fun place to go on a, calm cool
morning to watch how precise and how accurate.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
These men and women are who shoot at that.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Range if you're not hitting the targets you like, to
if you're not punching bull's eyes and breaking clays and
doing everything you want to do in, shooting get some.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Instruction they have pros out there who can do that for.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
You they're there every. Day every day they're. OPEN i
believe they're closed On monday And, tuesday which is it's
a nice time to have a, weekend no. Crowds American
Shooting centers is On West Timer parkway Between Kadian highway.

a firearm going alof when going off when there's no.

it was after ten. O'CLOCK i don't know who's testing
what around, here BUT i wish i'd get it. Done
seven one three two one two five seven Ninety email
Me Doug pike at iHeartMedia dot. Com oh, man we're
all these little NOTES i. Had, okay here's What dennis weighed.
In he's got a house down on On Gallison island

(58:58):
on the on the west end Of, galasonda and is
wondering when the conditions are going to get right for surf.
Fishing and he's got a pretty good sense of it
from WHAT i read in his. Email he already kind
of knows what he's looking. For, Ideally and this goes
back to when when there was No, internet when there
were no surf cameras and all that. Stuff you'd watch

(59:21):
the forecast for a light southeast, wind something just a
light on shore. Wind now the farther up the coast you,
come it's a different it's a different wind. Direction to
get it dead on, shore what you're trying to do
is get that clean water that's typically out a little
deeper pushed up onto the shoreline with the help of

(59:44):
both the wind and the. Tide if you've got an incoming,
tide that's also gonna move more of that cleaner water
closer to the.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Beach and then you just had to wait for the
wind to.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
Die and this time of, year we're gonna get a
lot of windy, days there's no way around. It if
you can find the second day where the wind hasn't
been too, strong where the wind is basically on, shore
and where you've got four, tides AND i kind of
randomly chose What i'm looking for is a low tide

(01:00:17):
at about maybe somewhere between three or five o'clock in the,
morning and then a hard incoming tide all the way
up to about maybe eleven or noon somewhere in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
There if you can get and that's a pretty long.
Sweep usually.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
In the on the like the on the on the oceanic,
coast you've got four daily Tides my grandparents lived In Pompino, Beach,
florida and there were four tides a day every day
just about and the water moved pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Good it would it would.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
FLUCTUATE a full change would be about three to three
and a half feet of. Water and when you push
that much new water up toward the beach and it
happens to be clean because the wind's been light and
the tide have been, right that's when those fish are
gonna come. In and it's fun to get out there
even before. Daylight, really and if you, do if you

(01:01:10):
do it, right and you're gonna if you're gonna make
the commitment to go fish to, beach go ahead and
get there early enough that you don't miss that very,
first just very first sliver of light coming across the,
water because if you, do you're also gonna miss the
opportunity to catch some pretty big trout right up in
close to the. Beach now that's it's a little more

(01:01:30):
common to catch trout very close to the. Beach you
can practically keep your feet dry down Around North Padre
island when you're walking the surf one and still catch.
Fish but up here because the water there's no real
severe drop. Offs it's just little humps and peaks and

(01:01:51):
valleys in the sandbars that don't move the water more
than a don't move more than a foot or so
in between. Them what you're going to have to do
there is get there at the crack of, dawn AND
i would throw it at about a forty five degree.
Angle and that's plenty far, out believe it or, not
even when you're walking, there just with your ankles in the, water,

(01:02:12):
basically because those fish are going to move up as
far as they can to avoid having to chase what
they're gonna eat in four. Directions as long as they're
up in their shallow and less than foot foot and
a half of. Water the only escape route those little
fish have the mullet and whatever else is in the
in the, surf the only escape route they have is

(01:02:34):
left or, right well, left right, forward.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Backward, okay they make A u turn if they want.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
To they'll probably swim right into the trout's, mouth but
it's either horizontal or vertical. Fleet and if they're taking
off out of there and they can only go left or,
right then that's two less angles up and down that
the predator has to worry. About chasing that. Fish it
just kind of it pins them into a, corner so to.

(01:03:02):
Speak it pins those baitfish into a corner and makes
them easier to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Catch and.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
In, nature not in human not in human, thinking but
in an animal, thought the easier it is to catch
what you're gonna, eat the healthier you're gonna, stay and
you're not gonna get exhausted and worn out and beat
up and torn.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Up they just.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Efficiency it's the same with geese when they land in
a field to go eat. Something if it's really, cold
they need a lot of bang for the. Buck they love,
rice but it doesn't give them that much. Nutrition it
doesn't stoke their fire that. Much if it gets really,
cold count on whatever. Snow geese are here to be
in either a cornfield or maybe a soybean, field maybe,

(01:03:49):
peanuts just plowed. Peanuts they'll get in that when it's super.
Cold but the corn and the soybeans where that's where they.
Went they got out of the. Rice how do we
get on? Geese imagine that coming out of my. MOUTH
i only spent fourteen years guiding those birds out there
on The Katy, prairie and that was some of the
most enjoyable outdoors EXPERIENCE i ever, had BECAUSE i was

(01:04:13):
mostly taking people who didn't get to do it very
often and worked on A i worked With Larry gore
back With Katy Prairie, outfitters and we had access to
really good properties and we put people on once in
a lifetime hunts almost every.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Week, now they didn't all turn out that way every
now and then you just have a crummy, day a
big old east wind and a high, sky high, pressure
and blue bird. Day it wasn't so. Good but, man
we had some good ones and they they were.

Memorable memorable seven, one, three two five seven ninety email on,
Me Doug pikey diheartmedia dot.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Com let's pause when we get.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
BACK i want to Just i'm looking for somebody who
even now a year into these new three trout, limits
the three trout, limit with the fifteen to twenty keeper that's,
slot not the numbers that and that one fish you can,
catch to one giant you can keep to keep the
record books. OPEN i want to find somebody who doesn't

(01:05:15):
think that's been a good, idea who doesn't think that's been.
Successful and, BOY i had a political reference in, mind.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
But i'm not going to go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
THERE i just WANT i want TO i want to
find somebody who will have an honest conversation with me
about why they don't think the three fish limit is
good for our.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Fishery on the way, Out i'll tell you about Black
Horse Golf. Club do that up off two, ninety go
two ninety To Fry, road hang as, south go down
about three miles or, so and you'll see golf course
on the, right and then a little bit farther you'll
see golf course on the left and. Right and that's
when you put your blinker on to turn west into
the gate at Black Horse Golf. Club and from the

(01:05:56):
time you pull in, there pretty much anybody you see
who who looks like they work, there and then you
confirm that they work. There their job is to make
sure you have a good.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Time and every Time i've played up, there everybody's been
doing that, job AND i walked away pretty, happy not
maybe with the, scorecard but pretty happy with the. Experience
they keep the places that both tracks that they've got
a north course and a south. Course north course daily,
fee south course. Private now both courses are kept in
good condition and they don't take anything away from the

(01:06:28):
north course to take care of The south. Course they
operated or two separate maintenance. Budgets if there's something needs
to be done on That north, course it'll get. Done
if there's something needs to be done on The south,
course it'll get done from different. Persons so you don't
ever have to worry about the bunkers on one course
looking crummy so that they can look good on the.
Other that's Something Craig hicks was very insistent upon when

(01:06:52):
the discussions about taking The south course private came.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Up he, SAID i.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
CAN'T i can't do anything that'll hurt my north course,
either because my daily few people are are good people,
too they're good golfers. Too they deserve a good, experience
and that's what you're gonna get at Black. Horse if
your swing experience isn't all that, great go down to
the far end of the range you get to you
can get back in your car and drive. There go

(01:07:17):
to the far end of the range where that, big,
long one story ten building. Is where you'll see people
down there hitting balls back toward you on that big
giant driving, range and that's where you'll find professional instruction

but there's two big races going on. Today one is
The indy five hundred and that will be The i'll
just call it the umpteenth BECAUSE i can't remember when it.
Started The indy five hundred gets going today up In,
Indianapolis Indiapolis Motor speedway coverage began or begins On fox

(01:08:21):
at ten o'clock this Morning eastern, time so it's it's
already underway and it's going to be a long time
before they get.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Started.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Uh that's a good, one and that's a that's probably
the premier. Race it In, Daytona indy for The Indy,
Cars daytona FOR. Nascar and then there's another one today
AND i don't know when Did. Daytona it was earlier
in the. Year that's it's weird because that's kind of

(01:08:48):
their championship, race but it's the first race of the.
Season but the ONE i was looking at a little
while ago during the break was The Grand Prix, demonico
halfway around the world In monico and known for the
money that's. There now you can imagine the ULTIMATE i

(01:09:09):
saw something ON tv the other, day or, no it
was On. Facebook actually saw something On facebook that showed
kind of the. Ultimate oh, okay, well you got a
big boat In monico coastal city and there, are as
you can, imagine there are super yachts parked all over the.
Place every square inch of water down there pretty much

(01:09:32):
is covered with a super.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Yacht And i'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Private boats that are anywhere from one hundred and fifty
to probably three or four hundred feet. Long these are,
big big private boats and the ultimate wallet. WHIPPER i
don't know whose boat it, was BUT i saw it
AND i, thought this, guy this guy just, said oh,
yeah check. Mine he had somehow now managed to put

(01:10:01):
on the four deck of his yacht a very big.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
YACHT A i think it's a one in twenty race
car he just. Had he just just look at WHAT i.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
GOT i got one of, these and there were only
nineteen of you in the whole world who could also have.
One But i'll bet you mine is the only one
THAT i just plopped on the front end of my
boat just to show YOU i had. It, Yeah and
every one of those boats immaculate as you can, imagine
and they're all they're all showing off for each other
and all living very, large as they.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
SAY i don't know how many.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Billionaires are in the, world BUT i bet you a
big number of them are In monica right now watching
The Grand. Prix i'm fascinated by that. RACING i Like.
INDIANAPOLIS i like seeing those guys go fast in a,
circle but to go as fast as the The formula
one guys do and then be able to go from

(01:11:00):
one hundred and seventy five or two hundred miles an
hour down to about sixty to make a, turn make
A u, turn uh and do that and split. Seconds it's,
fascinating it really. IS i have a lot of respect
for those. GUYS i got to Meet Dario franketi and,
Uh Tracy. Scott what WAS i can't Remember tracy's first.

(01:11:20):
Name but, anyway when The Grand, prix when the when
The indy cars came here for The Houston Grand, PRIX
i got to work with that team for the whole
week they were, here and it was just amazing and
fun and. Fascinating uh and And, TRACY i, remember this

(01:11:41):
is how picky those guys. Are there was one turn
That tracy kept complaining about on the. RADIO i had
a headset and EVERYTHING i, WAS i, WAS i was
teamed up, MAN i had the, UNIFORM i. WAS i
was full access to everything except the one. Thing the
guy told me don't touch the. CAR i, said what
what are the rules for me in here this week
and being in the pits with you guys and all

(01:12:03):
of that. Stuff and he looked me right in the.
Eye he just, said don't touch the. Car, okay we're.
Good i'm not going to touch the. Car and as
it turned, Out Dariel Frank keaty, won actually AND i
WAS i was a guy who got to stand there
with that little sign that shows him where to stop
coming into the, pits as if they don't know where
to stop. Already BUT i, LEARNED i think then that

(01:12:23):
that's just a it's just for window dressing and giving
somebody something to do if they get to have that.
Experience but it was a lot of. Fun it really
was seven one three two five seven. Ninety email Me
Doug pike at iHeartMedia dot.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Com So Captain scott sends me this video and the
video is a very slow, motion high speed video of
a golf ball being hit off of a. MATE a
lot of times you go to the golf, course especially
boys scramble. Tournaments uh when they when a lot of

(01:12:59):
nice golf clubs scramble, tournaments they put everybody on the,
mats and most good players do not like hitting off.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
MATS i don't care what my skill level. IS i
don't like hitting off. Mats my swing team tends to
be a little bit. Steep Now tommy AND i are
working on, that but my swing is a little bit.
Steep there used to be, anyway for, Sure and So
i'm bouncing clubs off concrete. Basically and there's one there's

(01:13:28):
one private club in, particular And i'm not gonna name,
it But i've played a lot of scrambles over, there
and their mats are probably the worst In they're the
worst In Southeast texas That i've ever seen, anyway and
it's very frustrating to try to try and warm up
on that. Ground but the bottom line is this video
shows And scott was kind of, saying maybe this is

(01:13:50):
why sometimes it feels like you can just hit any
shot off the mats and you have a hard time on.
Turf my problems the, opposite. Really but the long and
the short of it is this very high speed camera
in very slow. Motion the club is coming down and
the club's soul touches that, mat and that matt gives

(01:14:12):
with kind of a waving motion that actually causes the
ball to levitate because that matt goes down under the
ball and then the ball actually the ball actually does
rise a little. Bit it says in the piece that
it rises a half inch and there is a half

(01:14:33):
inch of air under the ball when the club strikes.
It but a good part of that lift is because
the club is pushing into that soft mat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Should be.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Soft the ONES i was talking about at that club
That i'm not going to. Name, man it's. Bounced they're
bouncing off. Concrete there is no matt, left it's just
green concrete. Almost but in this case It it does
show how you would have a false sense of making

(01:15:05):
a perfect swing because the contact on the club face is.
Great but it's the equivalent of having your ball teed
up about a quarter of an, inch and you don't
get to tee your ball up a quarter of an.
Inch you don't get to do that unless you're on
a par, three of, course or wherever you. ARE i
played two mondays, ago no this Past. Monday it was

(01:15:29):
a guy in our group thinking of tea. Shots the
guy in our group who would pull driver to hit
out of the fairway at the drop of a.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Hat it was pretty windy that day and there were.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
A couple of shots that he needed to hit farther
than he could hit his three wood into the, wind
pull out the. Driver there was one five par that
he had a little issue with the second. Driver, well
with the first driver off the, deck t shot didn't
go very. Far second, shot driver off the deck goes
farther but still not that. Far three drivers on that

(01:16:01):
whole and this is a pretty big guy and hit
it pretty, far but he just likes that driver off
the deck thing that. Was that was a good strategy years,
ago but now it's kind of not so good because
the driver faces or such that the ball needs to
strike the club higher in the club face than it. Did, Then,
Frank i'm gonna go ahead and Take ronnie's call and

(01:16:22):
