Would You Go to Jurassic Park?

On this episode, Doug talks about the Mount Rushmores of hunting and fishing rifles, a failed artificial reef off of the Florida coast, and much more.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
How many fish on our stringer, how many points on
our buck? How many feathers in our bag. That's how
we keep score around here. 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

(00:22):
your family love. This is the Doug Pike Show, brought
to you by American Shooting Centers, the largest non military
shooting facility in Texas, and 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 Doug Pike. All right, Saturday
Morning starts right now.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I'm still standing. There's a song by that title. As
a matter of fact, I gotta get my chair emptied
out so I can sit down. When the fancy pants
TV boys come in here, they move all the chairs
except theirs, over to the other side so that the
studio looks cool.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I prefer I prefer our way, the radio way.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Although I guess it is pretty fancy for them to
be on television, and more power to them. I've tried
to get them to to air this program on UH
on the Space City Home that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What is it, Frankie, what exactly is it? Yep? Is
that correct? That's correct?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh I can't. Oh I know what I'm doing now.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I can't hear you because I don't have my headphones
plugged in. They're just on my ears now. Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Thank you very much? Oh what's wrong with this? With this? Uh?
Pair of headphones?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And they don't do any good unless they're connected to electricity,
which they are now.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So I got to thinking this week.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I was actually talking to some friends about bass lures
and what they like to throw and what they don't
like to throw, and all of this back and forth.
And I also heard a little discussion on the way
in this morning about lewre selection and I wouldn't mind
talking at all. I wouldn't mind at all talking about
that with some of you. I want to talk about

(02:24):
the opening of snapper season that's tomorrow, June first. There's
just so much going on in fishing right now, where
the fish are, where the fish are going to be,
some opportunities that I haven't got a name drop down
to dial this morning when I'll drop names too. My
friends Mickey and Cliff were talking about the surf down

(02:46):
there off corpus and lower selection for that. And I
want to get your opinions on how you and your
buddies go about picking lures that you're going to throw
that day. Do you pick something that you have a
lot of confidence in, do you pick something that everybody
else has been catching them on?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Do you mix up lures?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
And the way I kind of like to go about
it is whoever's with me. I don't care how many
people are fishing, but when we start, everybody kind of
picks a favorite. There's not just there aren't four rods
with the same lure on it on them going out.
When we start the day, if there's four of us,

(03:28):
I want to be throwing four different things, and I
want to find out what they want. The fish will
tell you what they want. Those fish's brains are a
lot smaller than ours. And if one of them likes
a lure and another one and another one, if you
can pretty much get three bites on the same bait,
I might change over to yours.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I used to be far more headstrong than I am
now about throwing nothing but top waters. I've kind of
gotten over that. I don't mind throwing whatever the fish
will eat unless it's just a cool top water day
and you're getting at least some bites. I don't have
to get the most bites on top water, because the

(04:08):
top water byte I feel like is about I don't know,
five times better than just a normal lure byte, a
soft plastic bite, for example. I'd rather catch one on
top than three on soft plastics. I've caught enough fish.
I know how to catch fish. I've caught enough of

(04:29):
them in my life that I don't have to run
up numbers, well, except if I'm fishing with Joe Dogg
and we in fact we need to make a trip
pretty soon to a place that he and I know
will both enjoy, and.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
At that point it's going to be game on again.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
He and I traveled extensively when we were both at
the newspaper and got to make some really good trips
to some really nice places, all of which gave us
opportunities to have legitimate competitions with each other and shots
at catching quite a few fish. Goes, Florida, the Bahamas, Mexico.

(05:07):
I don't know how many times where else he tended
at some point during the year.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Each year. I think it was in the fall maybe
or that. No, it might have been.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, I think it might have been in the fall
when he and his crony buddies would go up to Alaska,
and that's I was all over the Caribbean. Back then
he was going north, I was going south. And then
we were traveling together many times down into Mexico. But
I digress. So I love throwing top waters anywhere I am.

(05:41):
I don't mind throwing mirrlors have kind of been pushed
aside a little bit. They've made a comeback, I believe,
and correct me if I'm wrong, But I feel like
they've made a comeback after truly just dominating the hard
plug bit, the hard plugged part of your tackle box

(06:02):
for many, many years. Then along came more sophisticated top water,
so you had to make room for them, more sophisticated
suspending baits, you had to make room for them in
the box, more varieties of soft plastics.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
You had to make room for them.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
And the one lure that got pushed aside and cast
a side, no pun intended cast a side, the one
lure that got just shoved out of the tackle box.
At some point, I don't know exactly what year, it
was the spoon, and I heard that mentioned this morning
as well, and spoons. I've caught as many good trout

(06:46):
and flounder and redfish, certainly on spoons. I wouldn't want
to say now after not throwing them in so long,
that I've caught as many as on anything else. But
when they were when they had equal appeal in the
tackle box, spoon was a go to lure a lot

(07:07):
of times, especially in the surf. In the surf when
the wind's onshore, which is what brings that nice clean
water in up here on our end of the coast,
or really anywhere when the water was right and there
was a little onshore breeze, some of the soft plastics
could be a little awkward to throw with the tackle
we were throwing back then, big hard baits. They'd catch

(07:29):
a lot of wind and wouldn't quite go as far
as you wanted to. Now they cast like bullets, but
they just it was just the spoon was a big
old slab of metal that would cut through the wind
and just sail out there over that third bar right
to where the big old trout were hanging out. And man,
we caught a lot of fish on nose man we did.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
You could dress it up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
You could put a little plastic tab on it in
shartruse or red or whatever you wanted. Or you could
get bucktail and put that get use a buck tailed
trail hook to slash it up a little bit like that.
But the bottom line is if you had a spoon on,
you had a pretty good chance of catching something. And
everything that eats mullet, everything that eats soft shell crabs,

(08:12):
everything that eats anything shrimp. They could convince themselves that
that looked, that spoon looked like whatever it was they
were hungry for, seemed that way, and then came all
the sizes and colors of spoons. The lower manufacturing business
is somewhat unique. Well, no, it's not.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'll take it back.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
There's another industry I can think of right off the
top of my head, and we talk about it all
the time.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
We're going to talk about it in the nine o'clock
hour to day.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
That is continually putting out new product, and that's golf,
new drivers every six months, new irons, so many different
sets of irons. There's a legitimate parallel with golf clubs
and fishing. The difference is that the old, old old

(09:03):
golf clubs are not as efficient as today's golf clubs
because there's so much more engineering in today's golf clubs.
Today's lures aren't necessarily better than the lures that were
manufactured ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. Both will still catch fish.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
If you throw them. And that's the thing that I've
got this.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Everybody who fishes a lot, or has fished a lot
in their lives, has that shelf in the garage, has
that big plastic container. I got, the little shoebox sized boxes.
I've probably got twenty of those out in the garage
at least, and then bigger ones that just have miscellaneous

(09:52):
stuff in them and everything in them will still catch fish.
That's the dilemma I face every time I talk about
purging my garage. I'm looking at lures that haven't even
been wet yet, lures that I know catch fish, and
it's very difficult to just toss them in a bucket
and throw them into a dumpster. I have a hard

(10:12):
time with that, and I may at some point just
get ten big garbage bags and fill them all up
with old lures and then just put them on the
curve with a little sign that says take one, and
it's like a grab bag for fishing tackle. You might
find some new stuff, you might find some old stuff.

(10:32):
You'll find a lot of stuff, that's for sure. Golf
club's totally different in that regard. The introduction of new
product is about the same as with golf.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
With golf and fishing, it happens all the time.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
And I think actually the advantage for golf club makers
is that AI can help them make subtle refinements in
these clubs without having to make prototypes to see if
it's really going to work.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
There's so much.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Computing available now in computer power with AI that it
can do a lot of things that would have taken
two years to do a while back. By the way,
there were two interesting stories about AI this week. One
was the story of a company where the AI blackmailed

(11:29):
blackmailed the company that if you don't, if you don't
keep me on and if you don't, you don't do
this or that.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't remember what the threat was.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
It was something, but something that would have upset their
apple cart as far as business went.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
And then there was another There was a.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Story of two robots in japan Ai robots that had
a fight in a ring with a real human referee,
and that was one of the funniest saddest at the
same time things I've ever seen. I expected to see
these robots really going at it and really punching each other,

(12:09):
and it was like watching two drunks on a street
corner fight over a girl. The punches were weak, they
were tripping over each other. One of them got tried
to kick the other actually tried to kick the other
robot in the groin and fell over.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Backwards, and it was just hilarious.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
If you can find it online, it's worth It's worth
two minutes of your time to find it and just
laugh about it, because there's plenty to laugh about too.
Why is my Why is my computer on incognito?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Frankie? You got any idea?

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Oh, that's just like a search function. Everything's fine. It's
just it just means that it launched the take track
of where you go some.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I'm not going anywhere for three hours? Well the computer, No,
I understand, I do. I'm just kidding, but yeah, I
just I haven't seen that one in a while. There
have been some wonky things happening with these computers. Uh
wonky for me this morning too. On the well, you
know what, I'll tell you what. We got to take
a little break here, let's pause here.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I would love to know how you and your friends
when you go fishing, go about the first wade or
the first drift of the day, and whether everybody ties
on the same thing because that's what they heard was working,
or where whether you you take a chance and and
just see if it's something else that they really want.
That next day we'll do that. We'll do a lot

(13:37):
more than that when we get back. On the way
out of pardon me, I'll tell you about black Horse
Golf Club up there off two ninety at Fry Road.
You go two ninety to Fry to hang a south,
go down a few miles, hang a west into the gate,
and from that point forward you're going to be treated
very very well by everybody who wears.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
The name tag.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Up there, you are going to find two golf courses there.
One the North course untill as it always has been,
a daily fee facility that's one of the best in
the city. And then you will also notice that the
South course is there. You won't see it from the
road necessarily except in one little spot. But the South
course was taken private in January and has had a

(14:17):
really significant surge and membership. There are apparently a lot
of people out there on that northwest side who were
looking for a true club experience, a private club experience
without having to just break the bank to get it.
And there are options for membership on that South course
that give you not only access to both courses at

(14:38):
black Horse, but they also give you access to both
courses at Golf Club of Houston and to black Country Club.
So if you're thinking about it at all, maybe look
into the options there. And of course the North Course
membership is something that gets you unlimited range use, it
gets you access to tea timed or tea times earlier

(14:59):
than everybody else, that gets you discounting the pro shop.
There's a lot to love about black Horse, there really is,
and they are doing a lot of improvements on both
courses this year. So if you get there on a
day when they're doing something out there on the golf course,
just pardon our construction. They're gonna get that done and
it's gonna be better when they finish. Black Horse Golf

of miles south.

The Doug Pike Show, Thanks for listening.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Certainly, do appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Man.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
There's a fine line on this volume in here, Frankie,
between between comfortable and ears bleeding.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, I got it. I got it now. It's just
you have to have the touch of a surgeon. By
the way, maybe in the golf hour, golf time, there's
a lot going on there. But I'll tell you about
the guy I saw it. Try to help me.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Remember to tell you about the guy I saw it.
It's the driving range on on Thursday. Yeah, it was Thursday.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
All right.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Let me go to these phones talk to Brian. Hey, Brad,
what's up man? Bread?

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Maybe you try Frankie. I want to put him on hold,
see if you can see him up. Okay, I'll try again, Brad,
can you hear me? Try again? Try again, Frankie, see
if you.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Can main line him up. I've never seen that color.
You want me to try again.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Nope, it's not there. You're not there, are you, Brad?
All right, figure that out, Frankie and when you when
you get it, let me know and we'll go back
to him. Or if you can just straight straight to
air on him, I can. I can take it. If
you can get him kicked in, that would be good. So, okay,
you got he's in time out over there. We'll figure

(16:52):
this out, don't you worry. Seven one three two one
two five seven ninety Email me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia
dot com. I I'll tell you the story about the
guy at the driving range real quick before we so
we can get George back on the phone. I pull
up and there's this guy getting golf clubs. He's got
a cart and he's getting golf clubs out of the

(17:14):
back of his car. And he's in he's in hospital scrubs.
He's in hospital scrubs. He's clear. He's a doctor, there's
no doubt about it. He doesn't have stethoscope around his neck,
but he's a doctor. He doesn't have his little head
cap on, but you could tell he's a doctor.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
And so I said, man, are you sure you're in
the right place?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
You're off the dress code there, Doc, and he kind
of chuckled and he said, yeah, I needed to get
over here. I just got out of the er wrapping
up a surgery. But I'm going to Dallas on Monday
to play with some guys who who just keep taking
my money, and I need to practice. And he had

(18:00):
come straight from the er quite literally, he came out
of there, took the little paper gown off or whatever
it is that they wear actually during the surgeries, and
he's back in his blue scrubs and he was out
there grinding away. And I stayed over there on that
part of this was that black Hawk and I stayed
over there on the short game area for probably thirty minutes,

(18:23):
and then went over to the real driving range for
about another thirty minutes, and then came back and he
was still in the short game area.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
We're gonna try him again here, Brad. You can't hear me,
can you? All right, Frankie, go to work for him.
Let me see if brand is there.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Nope, we got nobody. So something's going on over there. Frankie,
see if you can get that figured out. While I
continue to yap, I had some hang on.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
I gotta get.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I'll try.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Well, no, Brad, I can't even get to him because
you've got him. You got him in never never Land.
There's nothing I can do there until it goes either
goes back green. Yeah, see if you could see if
you can figure that out.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
And one more time, Frankie, that's not working. It's not working.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, see what you can do and we'll we'll figure
that out.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Uh, let me get to I need to open up
my words stuff because I had some things I wanted
to talk about, and I well, there was one thing
that I found somewhat interesting.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Where did it go here? You know, this is a
question that I asked.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
I asked Will Melbourne on on fifty plus yesterday. I
believe if there was a real life Jurassic Park, this
will test your outdoors want to go stuff. If there
was a real life Jurassic Park, would you go? Only

(19:54):
twenty nine percent of people said yes, definitely, fifty percent
said no way, and twenty one percent would have to
think about it.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
As as interesting as.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
That sounds, I would not want to just take a
casual walk through the woods in Jurassic Park, not with
all the carnivores out there, Not with all these giant
elephant and larger sized carnivores that would look at you
and me and anybody else who was walking with us

(20:28):
as just a bag of laced potato chips. You want
me to try again, Frank he or just we No,
I'm not hearing the sound I need to hear. I
should hear a click when that goes.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
So.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Anyway, Will and I both agreed that Jurassic Park may
not be for us.

Speaker 8 (20:46):
Now.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
If there was some way to guarantee my safety and
let me get around there and actually see these animals,
maybe so.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
And there is activity underway with at least one company.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
In the world world of what they're doing is taking
their extracting DNA from ancient, ancient, ancient samples, from bone samples,
from hair samples, from tissue samples of dinosaurs, of legitimately
old things mastodons, for example, there is there's an effort

(21:22):
underway to clone using that DNA, clone up a couple
of mastodons and see what happens.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I don't know if we ought to be tinkering.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
There's a lot of tinkering we do with this country
and with it, or in this world of ours that
I think is healthy and would help improve and stretch
out our lifespans and our comfort while we're on this planet.
But bringing back dinosaurs I don't think is one of them.

(21:52):
I don't think that's the case. I don't think that's
the case. And until we have confirmation that nothing bad
would happen by cloning dinosaurs, let's just don't do it
just yet. It's this place that I'm talking about where
they're trying to do all this genetic modification and tinkering

(22:15):
and revive extinct long extinct species. It is kind of
like a real life Jurassic Park, and who knows what
will happen.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I hope not much.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
If you're wondering when snapper season starts, that's tomorrow, by
the way, I believe it's midnight, twelve o one to
night something like that.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's kickoff time. And there there.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Almost have to be a lot of snapper on pretty
much every piece of bottom structure out there and over
even bare ground hard spots. Big red snapper are not
entirely unlike big largemouth pass and that they will just
sit out there in the middle of nowhere, in the
middle of nowhere, only on bigger water than large mouse do.

(23:05):
And when you can find those places, that's where you're
gonna find the real gorillas of the red snapper world.
There are big ones around all the structures out there too, just.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Not so many, I think.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
And well, there aren't that many big ones to begin with,
so the hard spot fish far more difficult to find.
But when you do find them, you're probably gonna get
the bite. And the bait you send down is not
going to be hammered by little bitty fish. I'll tell
you what you guys on the phone right now, hang on,
we're gonna take this break early so we can get
these phones fixed up. I want to talk to you, guys,

(23:38):
I really do, and we're gonna make it happen. Belleville
Meat Market makes it happen every day of the year.
Every day of the year, and now through July. You
can get homemade hot dogs original and with cheddar cheese.
You can get hamburger patties, including those big chuck Wagon
patties that are a half a pound apiece and loaded
with cheddar cheese. You can get wild game processing done

(24:00):
year round. You get that also year round. That full
menu of pulled pork or not a pull pork but
a barbecue, full barbecue menu, all the meat choices, all
the sides, and that's served every single day, every day
of the week, from ten am to seven pm. The
only difference between early and late is you either call
it lunch or dinner. But it's gonna be absolutely delicious. Beef, jerky, turkey, jerky,

(24:25):
dry sausage, dry stick, everything you want for grabbing, go
snacking too. Jerky was the number one travel snack. There
was some poll I saw this week. Here it is
right here, the new list of America's favorite gas.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I don't buy jerky from gas stations.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
I buy jerky from places like Belleville meat Market, where
I know it's gonna be fresh, I know it's gonna
be good. But that's the top snack and the number two.
I'm not even gonna tell you because it just it's
almost embarrassing that Americans have this as their second favorite snack.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Maybe i'll tell you later on Jerky's the way to go.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Bellville meat Market has got tons of it, with all
those other products too that you're you know you're gonna love.
They're on Highway thirty six, about fifteen minutes north to Sealy.
Fifteen minutes south of Hempstead Belleville MeetMarket dot com. That's Belleville,
MeetMarket dot com. Welcome back, thanks for listening to Doug
Pike Show on Sports Talk seven ninety We do you
have got the phone.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Situation figured out?

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I think we're going to go in the order that
they were on before everybody hung around or came back.
Brad's first tee them up, Freggie, there we go. That works.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hey Brad, what's up? Man?

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Can you hear me? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I got you, buddy. Yeah, we found a work around.
Don't worry.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
You know, I always hear it on the radio, but
I don't.

Speaker 9 (25:41):
I never really did anything.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Now I want to do something with the redfish.

Speaker 9 (25:46):
Yeah, to to where do I go to put it
in my information?

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Well what do you want to do with redfish?

Speaker 10 (25:57):
But you know, either throwing them in it if you
catch that's certain.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:01):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
You want to join this? Yeah, you want to join
the Star Tournament. That's what you want to do for you? Yeah,
so just go to Star Tournament dot org.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
That's all you gotta do.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Go to Star Tournament dot org and you'll find registration
information and yeah, honestly, it's it's like playing the lottery
if it was fun to scratch tickets and pick numbers.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
Let me ask you this, besides the Gulf of Mexico, Uh,
where are they put these redfish like anything? They put
those surrounding area like Lake Lake or No.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
No, it's a coastal fish. It's a coastal species species.
So you're gonna have to go to the beach at least.
And they they plant those fish up and down the
coast everywhere from Sabine all the way down to Port Isabel,
and they are are released deliberately in places where lots
of people fish.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Because it's a self sustaining tournament.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
It's not like they get something out of it if
the fish aren't caught.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
They want those fish to be caught.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
The sponsors of the tournament have already donated the prizes.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
It's not taking anything away from CCA. So yeah, you
just all you have to do.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
You have to become a member and then you register
also at that you can do it at the same
site for that tournament.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
And then once you're in there, you just go fishing.
You have a good excuse to fish every day this summer.
Thank you so much. That's my pleasure, all right.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Fingers crossed for you, man. Good luck. All right, I'll
see you. Let's get Brandon on the phone here. He
waited a while too, Hey Brandon, what's up, buddy.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Good morning, mister Pike, carry you this morning.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well, we got to figure it out, so off we go.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
It sounds like it. Sounds like it.

Speaker 9 (27:57):
No.

Speaker 8 (27:57):
I was gonna ask if you watch a Senior p
g A tournament last weekend.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
I caught bits and pieces of it, but I did
not watch it closely. I'll confess I had a bunch
of stuff going on.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I couldn't sit down for you what it was nice.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Cabrera did some great stuff. I was very proud of it.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I met him he actually again, Yeah he is.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
He He fought through a lot of stuff personally, and
apparently he has righted the ship. He's doing very well.
He and Charlie Ups were tight for a long long time.
I ran into them at a Rockets game one time.
Actually here sitting down court side, and yeah, and I
was down there with him, and yeah, well I wasn't
with him, but I would just walk by going to
my seats down there, and yeah, he and Charlie introduced

(28:38):
me to him the first time that was fun.

Speaker 8 (28:42):
He's definitely on top of his game. Oh yeah, I
mean that's he made some fantastic shots. It was a
lot of fun to watch, oh, no doubt. And I'm
not I'm not a big fan of watching golf, but
all of a sudden I flipped over.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
You know what, I'm going to watch this for a while.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm a much bigger fan of playing it than watching it,
But yes, sir, I am. I like to watch uh
and just kind of see how things are unfolding for
people and see how they're handling. Especially if they show
somebody who's made a really bad shot, I want to
watch that guy for about another fifteen minutes, let him
play one more hole, and see how they handle that mentally,

(29:16):
because I'm not the best at that.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I hate it when I make a mistake, I really.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Do, and I know I'm going to make it first
t I know I'm gonna make probably twenty mistakes in
that round, mental mistakes, physical mistakes, bad swings, and I
still still just they're forever optimistic that it can get better.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Think.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
I think what those guys do is what they do
is they know they made a bad shot, but they
don't let it get to them. It's like, you know what,
we're going to correct this, so you know, I you know,
I'm behind this pine tree or whatever.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
It is.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Like I say, I watched Freddy Couples do something that
I mean, it was a phenomenal and at the Houston
Open and I was like, because he hit a bad
te shot and he was around a pine tree and
he hooked it and put it on the green at
the wood and I was like, oh my god, this
is crazy.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
They're playing a different game and we see the green.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
Kaddy was saying, okay, this is what this is? This Yeah, man,
I hooked it around and I mean it was phenomenon.
I mean, everybody was cheering on the green and I
was like, hey, went up there and looked and I said,
this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, those guys are good. I've gotten to play.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I've been very fortunate and gotten to play with several
tour players over the years and just watched an amazement
at the things they can do with a golf ball
when they're not when they're jobs not on the line.
When when a difference between making fifty thousand and three
hundred thousand or two hundred thousand or a million, two

(30:44):
when that's not on the line, they can they can
really light it up.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
It's fun to watch.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
It is fun to watch.

Speaker 8 (30:50):
It's anybody that can go to the He's any golf tournament, Buck,
I said, I mean it's I went there with my
brother and I said, this is crazy. He goes no
watch it and I said, man, we got to watch
the phenomenal players. We got to watch John Daley off
the practice seed hitting it over three hundred yards.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
I mean, it's just great.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Oh gosh, Yeah, that's something else.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
There was a range these guys had at a tournament
about I don't know a few weeks ago where they
were being asked to the hit t shots, practice their
t shots on the range in only one specific direction,
and that's kind of They had to alter the Memorial
Park range to accommodate these guys tea and off from

(31:33):
back there, and it just it's a whole different, whole
different ballgame for them.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
They do things we can't do, and it's fun to watch.
But oh it is.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
It's phenomenal what they could do.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah, we're gonna talk more about golfing than nine actually too,
because it do got the no no, no, no, no,
oh no, that's not an interruption at all. I'm just saying,
and there's going to be more. You've got the US
Women's US Open going on, and then you got the
guys up at Mirfield for Jack's Tournament, the Memorial, and

(32:05):
both of them, you know that that leaderboard very quickly,
I don't mind talking about it.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
The leaderboard at the Memorial.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Right now, you've got Nick Taylor and Ben Griffin both
at seven than a Batilla, who I think is really
going to be somebody as he matures in golf.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
And then he's at five these two shots off the lead.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Scotty Scheffler on Saturday morning is only three shots off
the lead. And it's almost like sometimes I know it's
not true, but it's almost like he toys with him.

Speaker 8 (32:33):
You know, I don't think so he's a player.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
He is man, he's he's he's what. He's playing a
different game. And I got a hunt. He'll turn it
on today and if he can make his man, if
he could put it all, he's got the ball striking skills,
his full swing game is on point.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
Man.

Speaker 8 (32:55):
That guy is he's a he's like I don't know
another Tiger Woods is the way I would put it.
Eth Like, I mean, the dude's dialed in.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
I saw a statistic the other day. I can't remember
exactly what the number is. But to to do what
Tiger did in his heyday, Scott, he's got to do
what he's doing for like another fifteen years or something.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
So oh, most definitely he's the hottest guy on the
Turn on the tour, that's for sure.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, Well, it's good talking to you, man. It's great
to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah, it's good talking to you.

Speaker 8 (33:29):
And the only thing I want to say is, you know,
these these younger generations, they if they wanted to depend
and I understand the glitches in computers, and I'm not
talking about what y'all had. No, we still got to
teach these younger kids the old school way. You know,
when computer crashes or whatever, you still got to go

(33:49):
out and do something.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
That's got to get it.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
You gotta you gotta.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Have something to do.

Speaker 8 (33:55):
We got to get him in the outdoors and just say, hey,
when things go wrong, this is what you've got to do.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Well.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Technology is what what got Hal Sutton to stop teaching,
because he was teaching juniors up there by champions for
a while before he opened up Darmore Club. And the
reason he got out of that business, he said, but
because every one of those kids when they come to
the teenagers and most of them, and as soon as
the club had hit the ball, rather than watch the

(34:24):
ball and how it flew, they turned to the screen
to look at all the statistics in the chart, all
this track man, all this data. They wanted to know
the back spin, the side spin, the angle at it
at contact, all of this stuff rather than just watch
the golf ball.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
And he.

Speaker 8 (34:45):
We have to we have to teach him that it's
not always about the computer, it's not always about social media.
You got to get outdoors and the elements change. Yeah,
they do, you know, just just because this is this
is this is a perfect condition. But yeah, when you're
out there and the rain and the wind, I mean,
it's just things changed.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well you know what I mean. Yeah, think about this.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
What was the last time when you when you saw
that it was gonna be kind of a rainy day,
a little bit rainy when when you and I were
growing up, and still today to some degree, now I'm
old enough that I don't have to worry about this
anymore too much, I'm not gonna do it. But if
it was just going to be kind of a little
drizzly rainy day, you carried rain gear in an umbrella

(35:28):
and you went and played golf. Now, if it's if
there's a forty chance of rain on Friday and you
just made a tea time for Monday, you're back on
the phone canceling.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
The tea time. Right, that's what these yachters are doing.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
They don't want to play unless the sun's out and
the turfs exactly right. Interesting fun, man, we'll do this
morning a nine o'clock here, call back, we'll keep going.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
All right, it's great, yeah'll see.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
All right, we got to take you another little break
here on the way out on this one. L Cubano cigars,
Now that's something that's it's not old school, it's just
it's just man, I don't know how long cigars have
been around, but I bet it's a long long time,
a lot longer than man. He's been building, and he's
been building most of his life.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Really.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
He and his father worked in tobacco factories in Cuba,
learning the art, learning the craft of rolling cigars and
using just the right tobaccos to get different blends, milder blends,
bolder blends, whatever kind you want.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
And he's darn good at what he does. And he's
got some.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Other people, also Cubans, who also roll cigars down there
in Texas City, where he owns the only cigar manufacturing
place I think within a one hundred and fifty two
hundred miles and only one of about four dozen in
the entire United States. Almost all of his tobacco is

(36:54):
Cuban seed. It's grown in Central America, no problems having
it here, and he manufactures and rolls himself more than
one hundred and forty one hundred and fifty different specific
cigars and tobacco blends.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Very good at what he does.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
The rolling actually is at their Texas City lounge slash factory.
I got kind of a tour of the back where
all the tobacco that's come in is stored and cured
for quite some time actually, before they bring it out
and separate the leaves and start rolling it. They've got
that one, and there's another one in League City. He
does special order banding of cigars. He did some for iHeart.

(37:35):
They're awesome. They're really cool. If you've got a client
or a good friend, you've got a big party coming up,
a charity golf tournament, if you're a golf course owner,
or even maybe a bake camp owner.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
I know some guys I need to call about this.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Get in touch with Manny and he will build you
custom cigars and put your company logo or your client's
company logo on the bands.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
That's a pretty special gift.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
That's not expensive either, because you're buying directly from the manufacturer.
Nobody in the middle is sticking a hand in the
till and taking a little piece out and making you
pay more. Fun for parties, Fun for weddings, any special occasion.
Charity golf tournaments have many come out there and roll
cigars at your tournament, at your wedding reception, wherever something

(38:23):
really cool is happening and you really want to celebrate
it distinctly, something different from what everybody else is doing.

that really expensive.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
What are you paying for them? Now? What are you

of days ago who had thought he was picking up
a non venomous snake and it turned out to be
a copperhead and jacked him up pretty good too.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Yeah, I bit him on the hand.

of head or something one time.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
Yeah, he had to go to the hospital.

Yeah, this guy was in bad shave. His finger is
one of his fingers. I think it was his index
finger on the hand that got bitten looked like looked
like a hot dog that had been put on the
grill and left air for about an hour. It's just
the tissue was already dying pretty bad under there. I
don't know whether he kept his finger.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Or not, but yeah, nine more.

finger at work, had his wetting ring on and the
key chuck was in there and the machine and yeah,
and it was right before my godmother's wet and my
and my dad they danged you all up. And he
went and danced all night long. And then when he
went back to the doctor, the doctor looked at him.

(45:53):
He says, man, this is healing up better than he said.
You must have been going to that going.

Speaker 7 (45:57):
To that polet.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
And they went and uh, he was actually in out
in kind of right field, not directly in right field,
but a little up the baseline to the right field side,
way out there.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
No, that was the side.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Yeah, it's on the first base side.

Speaker 8 (48:26):
And I joking this and went to the and they
went to the side.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Okay, well anyway, I sent my son, So what else
is going on, Brendo?

Speaker 7 (48:41):
Anyway?

Speaker 4 (48:44):
We won?

Speaker 1 (48:45):
And did you hear who walked it off?

Speaker 2 (48:48):
I did?

Speaker 3 (48:48):
I was watching I watched the whole game. That was
the fastest game. I don't know if you knew it
or not, but they talked about it on TV. Actually,
that was the fewest pitches for a complete game since
Roger Clemens did it about in I think in two
thousand or so. He did one in eighty four pitches.

(49:08):
Last night Fromberg did it in eighty three pitches.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
He didn't get He did not get to the ndies yet,
never did.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
He only threw eighty three pitches to get through twenty
seven ounce. That's crazy, absolutely crazy, And it had we
had to walk it off for him to get that.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Otherwise it wouldn't have counted because it wouldn't have been
a complete game. It's pretty much.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Yeah, it was like one to do and then.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Then we tied it and then.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
We bunked it off.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
We got her done.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Yeah, we had a good game.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Only half a game out of first place.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
We're going to the sweets?

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Are you good for you?

Speaker 4 (50:00):
Man?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
It's fun up there, isn't it? Anyway?

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Do you know how much is the fishing?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
How much?

Speaker 8 (50:09):
What?

Speaker 4 (50:10):
How much is fishing?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not understanding your question.
Tell me again, how much is what?

Speaker 10 (50:21):
Is, and.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
It's actually the fishing is very good. Hunting seasons are
all closed right now, I guess except for wild hogs.
I didn't just I just didn't understand what you said before,
but now I do.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
The fishing is good. Fishing is good all over the state.
Bass fishing is good. The trout fishing is really good
along the coast. We've had great results from our three
fish limit that's in there now for speckled trout. And
there's plenty of red fish out there, and plenty of
a lot of other stuff too. The only thing that's
kind of m i a right now is offshore for kingfish.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
There. They are few and far between right now, and
I'm really not.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
Sure why I might go up there, because I'm gonna
I'm gonna have somebody to watch.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
My mom's mom.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh good, good.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Well, get out there and catch a fish if you can,
and if you do, by all means, get somebody to
take a picture and send it to me.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
Will you.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
My mom will?

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Yeah, I know she would, I know she would. I'm
waiting for your fish picture, Brandon. I really am, man,
I really am all right, partner. I gotta keep moving here, man. Yeah,
it's A'm great to hear from you, buddy. Yeah, all right, man, Audio,
it was good. Yesterday was somewhat chaotic, but I got

(51:40):
through it, and that's that's a good thing. I got
a bunch of stuff done around here, and I've got
a bunch more to do when I get off the
show today. This is the most fun part of my
day is getting to have this conversation.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
With you, guys. It really is.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
I'm going to come by.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
I've been waiting for you.

Speaker 8 (51:58):
I don't know what day, Okay, I want to a day.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Just tell me next WEEKID I don't know. Don't come
over here.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Don't come over here on a Monday or a Saturday
or a Sunday, because Monday's my day off and I'm out,
and Saturday and Sunday on the weekends, there's nobody who
can let you in to come up here. So it
just just come during a weekday and if I if
I'm not on the air, I'll come out and say
hi to I.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
We'll sit and visit for a few minutes. I'd like
to do that, all right.

Speaker 10 (52:32):
I know where to studio list good, good, I'll see
you there then.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
All right, Brandon, I got a bounce buddy. All right,
we'll see you audio.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
So mego. He is. That's an enthusiastic young man right there.

Speaker 10 (52:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I don't know how old a guy he is. It
doesn't matter. He loves the astros.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
I know that.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
And he he keeps telling me he's going to go
catch a fish. We got to figure out a way
to make that happen. We've got to figure out a
way to make that happen.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
That would be fun. Speaking of fish, I got let me.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
See hold on one second real quick, because I want
to I want to give credit where it's due.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
I want to give credit where it's due. Where is
not that? Where? Oh there, it is right there. I
got that.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
I'm gonna go over here carry the two. I don't
know why I keep saying that. That's so silly.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah. This came in from David.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
David sent me the details on a kid's fishing event
that will be held on I gotta squeeze in here
because I can't get it to get bigger and I
can barely read it Saturday, June twenty. First, you got
lots of time, okay, we got three weeks before this
thing goes off.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Saturday, June twenty first, at sign up location Crowder's Fish
Camp in Dickinson, Okay. Registration seven thirty to eight, fishing
eight to ten, lots of prizes for the kids, all
this and that, and it looks like it's going to
be well, it's a fishing tournament for kids. Let him

(54:09):
have some fun, let him catch some fish.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
I don't know who you know. I need to see
if Kevin's going to be the way master for that.
He way masters just about every other kids fishing event
this side of the Rio Grande registered to fish to Derby.
Children ages four to fourteen are welcome. My son at fourteen,

(54:32):
I think would have probably been out there trying to
help the other little kids catch fish. He fancies himself
a teacher. He really does, and he well it's not
just a it's not just nothing. I mean, he really does.
He teaches vacation Bible school in the summer. He's coaching
baseball right now with a little eleven year old travel team.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
He coaches. What else does he do?

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Just anything and everything chance he gets to help little
kids get better at stuff they like. Oh, he's working
with the guy he took cooking lessons for. I want
to say, five summers and when he was much younger,
and it did age appropriate stuff, and the guy who
teaches it's great. And then when my son aged out

(55:19):
of those classes, the guy who teaches him asked him
to come back and be kind of an assistant. So
that he's doing that this summer as well. He starts
next week. As a matter of fact, they teach those
kids to cook some pretty good stuff. My son actually
learned quite a bit. I've mentioned it before, but he
surprised me one morning. He said, you want breakfast. I

(55:40):
said yeah. He said, I'll let you know when it's ready.
And as it turned out, what he made, including Hollandai's
sauce from scratch, was ex benedict and that was I
was expecting maybe a bowl of cereal and a piece
of toast. He had eggs, benedict, bacon. I think there

(56:01):
was some sausage on the plate. The next pancake he
cooks won't be his first, that's for sure. And waffles
all that stuff. He's very handy in the kitchen. He
really is. He really is.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Email me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com I'm gonna
get hold of the guys over to El Kubano and
see just how neck deep they are in this kid's
fishing tournament or derby they're calling it, and see if
there's anything else I can do to help them. By
the way, I wanted to talk about something else this morning,
and that is, since offshore snapper season opens tomorrow, whether

(56:37):
or not you feel like Texas has enough artificial reefs,
where do you think we could get.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
The materials to put out more?

Speaker 3 (56:46):
And then I'll tell you something that I found out
about a failed offshore reef experiment over off of Florida,
actually kind of writing some of the water that I
used to fish when I was younger over there.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Talk about that when we get back. I'm on the
way out for now.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
On the way there, I'll tell you about American Shooting Centers,
which is out on West Timber Parkway between Katie and
Highway six. That is where ed Riggi took the reins,
probably close to ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Now, I bet it's been I need to check with
him and see and when once he did that.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
First of all, because he was such a sporting plays enthusiast,
he increased the opportunities in that on the property to
three complete sporting plays courses.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
There are I believe ten trap in skeet fields.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
There are five stands setups here there and all over
the property.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
There's a beginner's wing shooting area.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
There is rim fire shooting at pop up silhouettes from
I don't know, probably twenty five or thirty yards out
to two hundred and fifty yards. There are pistol ranges
that started five yards and transition into the rifle range
which goes all the way out to six hundred yards.

(57:59):
And if you're not really good at any of that,
then you can get some professional instruction in any shooting discipline,
whether it's self defense, whether it's long range rifle shooting,
whether you name it. They have someone some ones out
there who can teach you to be better at it
than you are now, better.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Than you are now. American Shooting Centers is between Katie
and Highway six on West Tarbor Parkway. Very easy and fun.
Go to the website, look around.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
They've got plenty of ammo out there, you don't have
to worry about that certainly, and they also have a
nice selection of high end rifles and shotguns and optics
and all the cool stuff that goes along with anything
to do with the shooting sports. American Shooting Centers dot
com American Shooting Centers dot com, eight nineteen on Sports
Talk seven ninety Thanks for listening, certainly do appreciate it.

(58:50):
I'll get to this offshore reef thing in just a second.
Kevin's on the phone. I want to talk to him.
Tea him up for me, Frankie, will you there?

Speaker 2 (58:58):
He is Kevin? What's up, buddy? How are you doing
this morning? Good?

Speaker 4 (59:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (59:04):
You know how whenever a dog here's it's name called,
it's here's parked up.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Oh man, So do you have anything to do with
that one? I have not.

Speaker 11 (59:14):
I have not heard anything about that one. Get close
to Brazoria County down here. Yeah, I do have a
tournament I'm working this afternoon. It's the only tournament I'm
doing all year. That's not a fundraiser tournament out of
Bastrop Marina. You got the Evaniki fifth Annual Evaniki Tournament.
It's a four man team tournament that they got going

(59:36):
on today. Oh wow, fish and fishing started at six
and then next Saturday. Next Saturday, you have got the
Brazoria County Fair Cowboys of the Coast Tournament I'll be doing,
And that's a fundraiser tournament where the Brazoria County Fair
Committee raises money for scholarships for local area youth.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Is it fair to say that about first of all,
that there's probably at least one turn a weekend somewhere
on the Texas coast, and that most of them.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Are for are fundraisers, right, A lot of them are.

Speaker 11 (01:00:08):
Some of them are just like the one today is
you're fishing for fishing for money, and it's actually a guide.
You can have a guide and three people on the
boat or four people on the boat, and then they've
got separate guide categories where they can they got a
guide sidepot where they pay one hundred dollars a piece

(01:00:29):
to enter and and fish for the largest fish out
of five different fishes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Sure, they're all just fishing for each other's money.

Speaker 7 (01:00:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:00:37):
The one next weekend though, the Cowboys of the Coast Tournament,
that's kind of neat. They give belt buckles and cash.
Oh nice, Like you're doing a rodeo. You get a
belt buckle. That's you get a belt buckle for the
biggest red or the red with the most spots or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Back when I was doing competitive shooting, if you won
the shoot, you got a very nice belt bull and
I've got one of those us. Kind of like my
friend Tom Byron he won one PGA tour. Well, he
got a lot more money for that than I did
for that pigeon shoot, but nonetheless he got I don't
think he even got a belt buckle, though he just
got money. I got a belt buckle. That was pretty cool, man,

(01:01:17):
it really was.

Speaker 11 (01:01:18):
I think I always thought that was a pretty cool
little trophy, something different.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Sure to add to your trophy case, no doubt, man,
no doubt. I'm happy to have mine. I guarantee you
it's good to hear from you. Keep me posting, man,
And if you need me to help spread the word
on any of those little kid things, let me know, all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Right, he will do, buddy, Yes, sir, I'll see kid.

Speaker 7 (01:01:37):
Take care of Doug.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Uhuh ideos His ears perked up just like the dog.
Man like the dog.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Very quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Before I tell you about this off shore thing, Mark
waded in from all the way over in Georgia and
long distance, long distance dedicate. I feel like Casey casem
a long distance dedication. Mark Way's in. My dad's a mathematician.
He's very good offer and fisherman. He taught me how
to break a problem down. And the two things my
dad loved most and it was fishing and golf. Dad

(01:02:08):
told me golf and fishing are about focusing on the
two things you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Should worry about.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
One, focus on the whole you're playing or the hole
you're fishing, and choose the correct rod and lure or
the correct club and ball. Two, whether you're golfing or fishing,
the weather will affect you and you have to learn
to work with it and run from it when it
gets dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
That's good advice so far. And then finally, and.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
This is the best piece of advice to any of
us who get wrapped up in it. And you got
to check yourself basically when you're a little bit over
competitive and worrying more about it than you should since
it's not your livelihood. His dad taught him, just keep
the influence of others out of your focus to get
your birdy or your fish. That's good advice. Mark, Thank you, man,

(01:02:57):
I appreciate that. Thanks for listening again too. Okay, so
here's the deal. Back in the seventies, the nineteen seventies,
I don't have near as much trouble as Frankie does,
imagining that for some reason, Frankie, well, you weren't even
born in the eighties, were you.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Oh my god, in the nineties, late nineties, like two thousand.
I'm nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Okay, you're right, yah, you barely made it into the
twentieth century.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
That's okay, congratulations. So here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Back in nineteen and seventy two, there was a tire reef.
Somebody thought it would be a good idea to dump
thirty five acres of tires and seventy feet of water
off Fort Lauderdale, two million tires to be specific. Only

(01:03:55):
it didn't work. They were expected to give birth to
a beautiful new coral reef, but they I guess you
could say those tires were infertile in that regard.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
By the eighties, still no coral.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
And on top of that, the the tires started leaching
dangerous chemicals. Then hurricanes came along and dislodged thousands of
those tires, which showed up pretty much everywhere from North
Florida all the way down around the down around the

(01:04:35):
Keys up to the Carolinas. These things went north.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Of Florida, washing up on the beach, turning up snit
people snagging them whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Finally, the US Navy was asked to do what they could,
and they actually retrieved thousands of those tires. But there
are still i'd bet probably a million of them on
the seafloor off Florida somewhere, well on the seafloor off
the east coast, somewhere. That's about as specific as I
can get. A total wash out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
What a great thing. That must have sounded like, Yeah,
we're just gonna take these tires and just throw them
in the water, and they're gonna grow coral.

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
And it's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be beautiful. It'll
be like the flower gardens of the East Coast. Won't
that be neat?

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Only never that for some reason, the chemicals in the
tires and the the the texture and the materials in
the tires didn't favor the production of coral. So now
instead of something absolutely beautiful, they've just got a big dump.

(01:05:44):
At least they're not burning them. That's the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
When I can remember growing up, I would see you
see this just this big pile of black smoke. And
this is even sometimes after it became illegal to burn tires,
there would be the accidental fires at tire bump junk yards,
tire graveyards, basically dumps. Accidental and I'm wrapping it accidental

(01:06:09):
in quotes, I think, because these things would just get
too too big and be unmanageable anymore. There was no
room to put more tires, so they had to make room.
And occasionally, you know, it might have been a lightning strike,
maybe maybe a spark, maybe somebody threw a cigarette out
their window as they drove by the tire dump, but
it happened, was terrible. Seven one three two one two

(01:06:32):
five seven ninety. Email me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. Uh, Frank,
are you ready for something? Just a conversation starter?

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
I joked with Will yesterday and I coined a phrase
that he'd never heard and now I'm now I'm And
he hated it when I told him what it was.
And so now you know what that's gonna do for me.
That's gonna make me want to do it more, to
talk to him about this morning more. He has full beard,
as you know, and so what I found out that

(01:07:04):
went to this was that Hitler shaved his mustache squared.
Do you know why, No, to make it fit better
inside of that country's highest end gas masks.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
That's what he did that for. That was what that
was about.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Well, and then I told Will, I said, speaking of
lip whiskers, and you could see his face, his whole
face just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Puckered up like he'd.

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
Bit into a lemon. And I said, what, he goes,
lip whiskers. Yeah, have you not heard that term? He goes, No,
I haven't. I said, that's because I just made it up.
And now every time I get the chance, because he
hates it so much, I'm going to use that term
for a mustache. Oh yeah yeah. And if you see
him in the hall, oh God, please do this for me.

(01:07:50):
If you see him in the hall, just say, hey,
will nice lip whiskers please, and let me know when
you do. I might even buy you lunch.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
That would become so Anyway, the tire reef did not
work out well.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Alabama was one I think, kind of a trendsetter. And
this was back also, like in the nineteen eighties, maybe
I think it was they went to the US Army
or the Army came to them and said, hey, what
about tossing some tanks in the water. That'd make a
pretty cool underwater reef. Also makes a cool dive site,

(01:08:25):
but it's primarily They primarily did it for the fishing
off their coast, and that was a hugely successful program.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
But what they it's not just as easy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Is just is just loading those things onto barges on
a crane and then tipping them over, kind of like
if you're evading hoodie rockets in the Persian Gulf and
losing one hundred million dollar jets off the side.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
That's happened twice now, I believe, in any event. So
they took these tanks out.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
There after they had removed every petch chemical drop from
these things. They completely wash them out, scrub them out.
There's no I don't believe there's any rubber or plastic
on a tank. I'm not sure there is, and if
there is, it's not enough to matter, probably, But they
get these things actually cleaned up where they're not going

(01:09:15):
to be an environmental hazard like those gosh awful tires were.
Maybe that's why they clean those tanks so thoroughly. As
they found out what happened on Fort Lauderdale. The bottom
line is those things took real well. We have fads
all over the Texas coast well offshore fish attracting devices
that are molded concrete pieces that provide cover for small

(01:09:41):
fish from big fish. And wherever there's a bunch of
little fish hiding, the big fish.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Are going to come around.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
There are numerous little shrimp boat wrecks and stuff like
that off the Texas coast that all provide cover for fish.
And there are a lot of people working very, very
hard to come up with even better, more innovative ideas
about artificial reefing off the whole entire United States coast

(01:10:09):
around the world too. And the more the merrier, the
more cover those fish have, the more fish.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
We're gonna have. It's just as simple as that. Oh
good heavens, I gotta take a break.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
I'm gonna pause here, maybe go fill my coffee cup again,
maybe run down the hall, and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I'll be back in a couple of minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
More of The Doug Pike Show on Sports Talk seven
ninety coming up twelve. I'm back the Doug Pike Show
on Sports Talk seven ninety eight thirty five.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
On this Saturday morning. Man, that Astros game last night, huh?

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
And what was amazing to me? I kept watching and thinking, gosh,
it's got to be getting late. I need to get
to bed. I got to get some sleep, and it
just I'd look at my watch and it was just
too early to be the seventh inning, too early to
be the eighth inning.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
And that was because.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
The other guys what was their picture's name, Pepio, I
think it is he and from ber Valdez, absolutely put
on a pitching clinic, and from Bravaldez made one mistake.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Well I don't even know if it was a mistake.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
He just I hate it when the I hate it
when the announcers called any home run a mistake by
the picture because and then maybe maybe they did miss
their spot a little bit. But until that announcer can
go out there and show me how they can just
dot corners for ninety or one hundred pitches, then don't

(01:11:39):
don't say he made a mistake. He just the hitter
timed it up, the hitter guessed right, whatever it was.
But I don't I don't like seeing major league pictures told,
or having hearing major league pictures told that they made
a mistake just because the guy hit a home run.

(01:11:59):
They threw a strong That's what they're supposed to do,
and if the guy hits it, he hits it. After
that one pitch, though, from ber Valdez only threw eighty
two more pitches to get through nine innings.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Do the math on that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
He got twenty seven outs with eighty three pitches.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
That's some That's beyond special. It's just beyond special. Man.
That was a clinic.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
And I think that the TV guys Sparks and his
part of their can't recall them his name all ten.
But the bottom line is they even kind of commented
maybe that first pitch home run just put him into
super high intensity mode, and he kind of like said,
not on my watch, and to watch that game progress

(01:12:48):
like it did. That was a master class. That was
a PhD level pitching duel between two guys who already
earned their degrees and we're trying to show everybody else
how to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
It was pretty amazing. I can't take anything away from Pepio.
He threw hard, and he threw well, and he dotted
him up pretty good. But we got to him twice,
and they got to our guy once and that's all
that matters. Diz Man that ball to right field, he
knew it when he hit it. I anytime it's an

(01:13:21):
opposite field shot, I kind of hold my breath.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Uh oh gosh, who is it? I can't remember? Anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
The bottom line is that's a hard shot to get out.
There's just not that much bat speed going that way.
It has to be a perfect, perfect connection. And that's
what was made by Diz. It's amazing, great, great, great stuff.
Chad McCormick, that's who has a tendency to do that too.

a kind of on us, a bittersweet note, let's call it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
I don't know how many of you realized that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
Back this past Memorial Day weekend, a nineteen year old
woman up on Lake Grapevine, just minding a business, having
a fun holiday, paddling her kayak, got run over and
killed by a woman on a personal watercraft who then
tried to run away and had.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
A man.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Somebody who she knew, said jump in my truck, Let's
get out of here, or maybe she said, jumping your truck,
let's get out of here. But the bottom line is
the two of them fled the scene of this horrible
accident took the life of a nineteen year old woman
who was a candidate for the US Air Force Academy,
just a good person. And I'm not trying to go

(01:14:54):
political on you, but they arrested the two of those people.
They found them up in Dallas, and both of them
them were not legally in our country. And it just
it just drives me crazy to hear stories like this,
all of these these people just American people who shouldn't
be dead, but for someone who shouldn't be here. So

(01:15:17):
I'm very pleased that there is an arrest. Arrest has
been made, arrested both of them, the woman on I
believe second degree manslaughter maybe or something like that, and
the man on helping her escape, and it caused some damage.
I think to he won't he won't be in big

(01:15:38):
trouble compared to her, but she'll.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
She's in big trouble anyway. And at least there is that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
For the for the family of that young woman that
was just her name was Ava somebody I can't remember
her last name, but I felt very sorry for that family.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Email
me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia. Come Overall, the Memorial Day
weekend safety record was not bad, but not good.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
And it's it just happens all too often all around
the country. Boating accidents, collisions, people who can't swim try
to swim.

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
I talked about that on fifty plus. There were a
lot of things I could do as a younger guy
in the water. I love the water. I love being
around the water.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Any water.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
I don't care a ditch that's got four inch long
perch in it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
I'm there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
I modifying my equipment a little bit. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna bring a bazooka to swat flies, but
I'll fish anywhere there's fish.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
I'll swim anywhere I can.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
I'll I haven't been surfing in a while, but I
kind of want to get back in the water. In fact,
I'm gonna I'm gonna tell Cliff if I come down
there to fish with him and it's too bumpy and
the surf's okay to ask to borrow one of his
boards and see if I still have the ability to
jump up quickly onto a surfboard once I've caught a wave.

(01:17:09):
I want to think that I do, but it's been
long enough now that it will feel somewhat uncomfortable. And
before I do that, before I even try to do that,
I'm going to practice it about a thousand times on
the floor of the den, on the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
Driveway, I don't care where. I'm gonna practice popping up quickly.
And then I'm also going to get one of those
little balance boards, uh, and that I can wobble around
on and try to maintain my posture. I still have
good balance, uh, but I don't have I don't know
that I have surfing balance anymore, if that makes any sense.

(01:17:48):
If you've if you've.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
Not surfed it a while, and you just tried it
a couple of weeks ago for the first time in
more than two or three years, you know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Seven one three, two.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
One two five seven ninety Email me Doug pie at
iHeartMedia dot com. Let's slide back for briefly, at least
to the LWRE question. I was asking earlier how you
go about it? And I did have a good email.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Let me grab that email real quick, and it makes
sense to do exactly what he was talking about. Um,
gotta roll back up a little higher. Here, got that?
Got that? Where did it go? Who was it?

Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
There?

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
I think it was Mike, Yeah, Mike, Mike waid In.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
Well, he cheats and fishing with David Dillman, but he says,
I usually ask Captain Hillman which bait has worked lately. Well,
that's that's a good start for sure. Chicken on a chain,
paddletail has always been a good start for me. Bass
assassin lagoon of shrimp. Pink paddletail goldflakes works great in
different conditions. There are so many that's just you start

(01:18:51):
with those two, and then you could just fill your
box with about ten thousand other different color combinations and sizes.
Now and now we have to think about the jig
head we're putting it on, and just all of these
different different lures and top waters and suspending baits and
swim baits and.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Things that just grind right down to the bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
I actually am thinking about changing the hooks and hardware
out on a couple of just traditional bass fishing crank baits,
to throw in that surf doun in corpus. There is
absolutely no reason in the world to think that that
won't work. But a maradith will mariden maradime meridean tomato tomato.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
That won't work, but one of those will. Crank baits,
I tell you what.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
A crank bait bounced off the jetty rocks catch you
more redfish than you think, either from a boat or not,
because that you can run them down pretty deep and
then just run them back. It's easier from a boat
because you can position yourself to where you can throw
parallel and run that. Depending on how big the lip

(01:20:06):
is on it and which way it's pointed, run that
thing way down or keep it up close to the top.
But you can run it very close to the rocks
without hitting the rocks if you're just in the right spot.
And man, the next winning stringer of redfish or winning
bag of redfish whatever at a lot of these professional
tournaments that's caught on crankbaits won't be the first. It

(01:20:29):
won't be the first. A lot of those guys who'd
come here from out of state, the professional redfish people,
that's how they were catching their fish.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
They were very good at it too, very very good
at it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
All right, we're gonna take a break here if you
haven't done well, Gosh, that segment was either no, I
didn't get back late, did I think? That segment just
went by pretty fast. We're gonna take this break. On
the way out, I'll tell you about Berry Hill. This
is Berryhillsugarland dot coms website. They are at Sugar Creek
Boulevard and fifty nine. Very easy to find on the

(01:21:02):
inbound side. Been there for the better part of twenty
five thirty years now, and they serve up for starters,
some of the most incredible fish tacos you'll ever eat.
I think Thursday it's in Thursday. Maybe Friday is fish
taco Night. You might get a deal on it or something,
but no matter what day it is. First of all,
their prices are all reasonable on everything they have. My

(01:21:24):
I'm kind of partial to the seafood enchiladas and I made.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
I was just I don't know what I was thinking, but.

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
I said seafood burrito one day when I went in there,
and what I got back was also delicious, but it
was so big that I really had difficulty finishing it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
It tasted so good. I wanted to finish it. I
desperately did, but it was just so dog on big.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
It'd be kind of a share meal for a lot
of people my age or some or you could easily
feed two teenage boys on one of those great food.
The people in the kitchen, the two primary guys in
the kitchen, have been their better part a little bit
more than a decade apiece. So you know the product's
going to be consistent. You know it's going to be delicious.

(01:22:09):
I promise you that it's a very family friendly atmosphere too.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
There as you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
Walk in the door to the left, there is booth
and table seating for the whole fam or double date
or whatever, and then there's a sports bar to the right,
and then beyond that is outdoor dining. Actually, that sports
bar area is a great place if you're brand new
to the area, just walk in there and kind of
semi announce or have the server announce that you're brand

(01:22:36):
new to sugar Land and want to make some new friends,
and they'll be hands go up in the air. Come
on over here. I've seen it happen, I really, I
genuinely have. It's pretty amazing.

Berryhillsugarland dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
In addition to serving up all that delicious food there,
they will cater pretty much anywhere in the greater Houston area.
We've got them doing that for us over here, and
we absolutely love it. They've so far, we've gotten two
good meals out of him, and we got more coming.
And I'm finding out every time when we're gonna have

on Sports Talk seven ninety The Doug Pike Show, Thanks
for listening. Welcome back Kevin Wade in This is interesting. First,
he said he was gonna send me a picture of
his Saturday morning eight am pool game.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
I'm waiting for that unless it's already here somewhere else.
I haven't seen that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
Well, maybe it's on maybe it's on my text or
something I said watching baseball and listening to the show. Yeah,
it's man, that eight am game in kids baseball. That
was a rough one to make, and invariably when we
drew the eight o'clock game, somehow it was at the

(01:23:53):
farthest field involved in the tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Always was.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
Anyway, he continues, there's a question he has here or
just to.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Toss this out a little Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Okay, and you take one off and put one on
what would be your outdoor fishing hunting equipment equipment Mount Rushmore.
He starts today, He says, here with the Daisy Red
Rider and the Zebco thirty three classic, I will take

(01:24:30):
one off.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
I'll leave the Red Rider.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
And I will take off the zeb COO thirty three
to add the Ambassador five thousand, which totally changed the
fishing world, especially coastal fishing, and then it the direct
drive went away in fresh water as well. But I'll

(01:24:56):
leave the Red Rider there. That is kind of as
that's a old guard. Almost everybody who's who grew up
before somebody decided you couldn't shoot BB guns in neighborhoods.

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
Every almost all of us had at least one, I believe.

Speaker 7 (01:25:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:16):
Actually, my friend Rick Stovall gave one to my son
when he was young, and we we pushed free BB's
through that thing seven one two five, seven ninety. So
I've got now we've got the Daisy Red Rider and
the Ambassador five thousand. You can take one off and
replace it with something else. And boy, there's all kinds

(01:25:38):
of candidates for and actually there's room for four, so
you can add, we'll leave the red Rider. I'm gonna
I'm gonna make a little note of this and kind
of see how it unfolds are and he started with
the Zipco thirty three. I added the Ambassador five thousand.

(01:26:01):
So there's still room for one more in the hunting side.
Let's just do this with emails. He can call if
you want to one more with the hunting side, and
then if you want to, you can try to talk
me into taking one.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
Of those two off of the fishing side.

Speaker 3 (01:26:16):
This could be very interesting to see what people most remember,
what really pushed their buttons, what got them more involved,
what made them more interested in being outdoors, made them
more interested.

Speaker 12 (01:26:30):
Owl, let's see, Yeah, Alan Wade in I was listening
to Casey Casey's American Top forty one night, hearing Arrowsmith
performing dream on driving down JFK Memorial Highway at about
one hundred in my dad's BMW Bavaria.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Oh yeah, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:26:50):
He was fourteen, he said, and Dad was sleeping in
the passenger seat. Oh my word, you know as as
much as no I don't think my dad would have
wanted me to do that. Oh yeah, Captain Scott Wade
in I'm not surprised that he jumped in as quickly

(01:27:10):
as he did either. He wants to we're adding now
the Remington eight seventy, which I wish I'd have thought
of that first. My god, I don't know how many
of those I've owned. And yeah, so you got that one.
And then he's also adding the Green Corrado. But he
didn't tell me what to take off.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
I tell you what, we're gonna We're gonna add the
Green Corrado and we're gonna take off. We're taking off
the thirty three. I don't I don't think a I
don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
A spin spin casting a push button reel belongs on
Mount Rushmore. I think it's it's great. It was innovative
at the time, and a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Of people had him.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
I think if you if you want to put a
Zepco reel on there, you'd almost have to use the
two O two because that was the that was the
working man's reel. Not everybody could afford a thirty three
seven one three two one two five seven ninety Email
me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. So we got
the Daisy Red Rider in the Remy can eight seventy.

(01:28:17):
Somebody's somebody's got to put another rifle on there, and
I have one in mind. I have one rifle in
mind for Mount rushmore of outdoors equipment, hunting and fishing equipment.
So far as Daisy Red Rider in Remy ten eight seventy,
Ambastard five thousand in the Green Corrado, and we're gonna

(01:28:38):
leave it there till we get some more emails.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
Let's take a little break here a bit early, a minute.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
Or so early, but that just gives me more time
to tell you about Riceland Waterfowl. Riceland Waterfowl Club's been
around for fifty years. This is Golden Nanna Versery, this
is gold Nanniversery, and boys, it's gonna be a good
one for them. More water, more blinds, more members hopefully,
and all of that's gonna happen thanks to a guy

(01:29:04):
named David Pruett who has owned and operated Riceland Waterfowl
Club since he started it back in the nineteen So
it was nineteen seventy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Five, No, seventy five, Yeah, it would be seventy five.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
Wouldn't it, Holy cow, I was just a pupp Then
he works all year so was he actually all year
round to make sure all his members have quality access
to great.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Hunting blinds all season long. They keep plenty of water.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
The blinds are about a quarter mile apart, and that
there's only one that's less and it's four hundred and
thirty nine yards according to the guy who shot it
with a range finder and was given David a little
hassle about it. Only people who have access to all
of this water, to all of those birds and all
of those blinds are his club members and their guests.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
If you're hunting. It wasn't just great. This past season
wasn't really good because his was. You might want to
check out Riceland Waterfowl before summer slips by you and
you're scrambling trying to just get back on the place
you didn't really want to be on last year. Riceland
Waterfowl Club dot com. They're based out in Eagle Lake.

(01:30:11):
Always there's plenty of prairie left out there, there's plenty
of bird food out there, plenty of water out there,
and David controls most of the best of it. Riceland
Waterfowl Club dot com is a website. Go there, Ricelandwaterfowl
Club dot com. You'll be glad you did not hold
on two seconds nine oh three on Sports Talk seven

(01:30:33):
ninety Thanks for listening, certainly to appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
Let me before I get into the golf stuff. I
want to get up.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
Go ahead and talk to Rick. Go ahead and see
him up. He waited through the break. That's the least
I can do for him.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
Rick?

Speaker 10 (01:30:44):
Got caught the tail end of your conversation about I
think I got this right. You were asking on the
hunting side, what was your first experience and what did
you use to hunt and observe animals and things like that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
Oh no, we were talking more about a mount rushmore
a mount rushmore of fishing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
And hunting equipment.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
And the parameters were set that there can only be four.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
I kind of took it up from two to four.

Speaker 3 (01:31:15):
And if you're going to put something on the list
on either side, you have to take some off the
list on either side.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Oh, you got anything there?

Speaker 10 (01:31:25):
What belongs?

Speaker 11 (01:31:27):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
Okay, yeah, I got to tell you that first, I guess,
don't I okay, So here's what's on the list. Now
the Daisy Red Rider and the Remingtonight seventy. That's on
the hunting side, and you want to get on the
fishing side. That's an ambassador five thousand. I put that there.
Scott Knowle put the Green Corrado there. I love that
reel too, and we took off the zeb COO thirty three.

Speaker 10 (01:31:53):
I'm going to add a J. C. Higgins single shot
twenty two.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
Oh Higgins, Okay, I like that that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
Yeah, that's that's That's an old school introduction to shooting, isn't.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
It It is?

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Wow?

Speaker 10 (01:32:09):
You know you're my generation. Yeah, I wouldn't be listening.
I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Yep, they need to look it up. I guarantee you
there are a whole lot of times.

Speaker 10 (01:32:20):
I'll let you go, you know, I'll let you go.
You know who sold J C. Jiggins twenty two?

Speaker 7 (01:32:25):
That's all they saw.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
They didn't sell really anything else. Really, you know what
j C.

Speaker 7 (01:32:29):
Higgs.

Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
They might have Solda twenty gay. You know who distributed them,
don't you know who? Steers and Roebuck oh Man.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Yeah, you could buy all kinds of stuff at Sears.
You could buy what the first eight seventy I bought.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
If I'm not mistaken, I may have bought it sears, Yeah,
for like seventy five dollars.

Speaker 10 (01:32:49):
It's been a while anyway, that's been a while. Yeah,
Jigs twenty two. It would shoot longs and short Okay, now.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
But here's the deal you gotta take. You gotta sacrifice
either the Red Rider or the eight seventy because we
can't have three. We can only have two.

Speaker 10 (01:33:06):
Would I'm the best, most of the best. I love
red Riders. I got or tony of them. Seriously, I know,
I doubt it new in the box, you know me.
I'm a collector. Yeah, there's never been a gun ever
built more dependable than a Rimington eight seven.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
I don't think anybody's taking that one off because they
have to convince me. And that's I've owned enough of
them to know what they can be used for besides
shooting too. I used them as pride bars to get
gates open.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
I used them as once as a.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
Paddle to paddle a little bass hunter, uh, full of
decoys across a big ditch.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Yeah, just that that's gonna do.

Speaker 10 (01:33:50):
You can be duck hunting. You can be duck hunting.
And do something whatever you're done with them and you
need to, you know, you need two hands for something,
Just lay it down the water. It's still gonna yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
Yeah, yeah, it'll keep going.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
And a big part of that was the two slide bars,
where most of the pump action guns only have one
slide bar and that just ends.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
Up getting torn up.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
But with the two that Remington put on those things
from day one, that that was a game changer.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
Man. Those things were absolutely bulletproof.

Speaker 7 (01:34:18):
They really were the first.

Speaker 10 (01:34:20):
The first wing wing Master, that's what they're called, eight
seventy wing Man.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
Not the Express that's a different.

Speaker 10 (01:34:26):
Wing Oh yeah, well Experience is the newer in Actually.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
It's the inexpensive one.

Speaker 10 (01:34:33):
Yeah, go ahead, yeah, the original wing Master twelve. I
got eight seventy. I bought in nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
That'd be about when I bought one.

Speaker 10 (01:34:47):
Man, Guess where I bought it at. I bought it
the Carter Country on trash Wig.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
That was the only Carter's country then, I believe it was.

Speaker 10 (01:34:58):
Guess where it is today?

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Where is it at my house? Still in your gun case?
Huh yeah, still in the case. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
The Yeah, thank you, Rick, It's always good to hear
from you. I'm glad you that's good. I'm gonna put
the Higgins in there, and we're gonna set the Red
Rider aside a little bit. I hate to do that,
but man, you can't take the eight to seventy off.
But a single shot twenty two is that's that's a
growing up, that's a that's an entry level real gun,

(01:35:29):
and I think that's worthy of a place on the mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
Thanks Rick, Oh, he's already gone. Holy cow.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Seven one three two five seven ninety. Email me Doug
Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. Benjamin call or excuse me.
Marvin called and was wanted to put a Benjamin twenty
two pump pellet gun on there, and I can't put
it on I can't put it on the Mount Rushmore
of hunting equipment.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
But I think you could.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
I think you could put it on the Mount Rushmore
of people who have backyard squirrel problems. Maybe that's where
he's thinking about using his Benjamin twenty two pellet rifle.
They are good guns, there's no question about it, but
they don't replace the single shot twenty two. Is that

(01:36:19):
that was probably the first real gun that more people
in my generation shot than any other. We had a
BB gun. We had a BB gun from a time
we were pretty young. And then when it was time
to move up, you didn't move straight up to an
eight seventy.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
You didn't move to.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
Any kind of a high caliber rifle. You moved to
a twenty two for two reasons. One, they didn't recoil much,
so it wasn't gonna scare you. And two, when you
found out how exciting it was and you just wanted
to shoot and shoot and shoot all day. It didn't
cost your dad or your mom, or your uncle or

(01:36:58):
your grandpa un arm and a leg to feed that thing.
That's one thing I talk about with American shooting senters
out there. If you want to go out and take
kids and teach them how to shoot, you don't want
to be burning up rifle AMO on a even a
two twenty three or something.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
Just there's nothing you want to spend the money for
two hundred rounds of rifle AMO, But two hundred rounds
of twenty two bullets not gonna cost you much.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
And that little pop up silhouette range is very cool.
You can stand out there and shoot that all day
for ten bucks probably maybe fifteen seven one three two
one two five seven ninety Email me Doug Pike at
iHeartMedia dot com. I think we're gonna settle here for
a minute. I'll check email during the break here. Uh
coming up in just a second. And after that, I

(01:37:46):
promise you were gonna get a little deeper into golf
than I am.

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
Now we'll talk about the Women's US Open on.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
Going at Aaron Hills, which is actually I've been there
and done that. I actually got invited up there, flew
into I think we.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Flew into Green Bay. I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
I think we flew into Green Bay, but I ended
up getting to play Aaron Hills and I played another
course there that was the home then of a PGA
Tour event up there close by. The PGA Tour course
wasn't in full bloom as they say when we were

(01:38:22):
up there, because it wasn't tournament time.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
And it's the same with Memorial Park.

Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
Memorial Park is very well kept, but they extra special
it if you will, when the tournament's about to come
to town. But Aaron Hills from and this was twenty
years ago, Aaron Hills was absolutely gorgeous, a fantastic, fantastic facility.
I want to say it was that long ago, it
seems like it. I don't think I went up there

(01:38:49):
after my son was born, and that was quite a
while back. The bottom line is there was a pro
shop and there was a golf course, and that was
about in little driving ranger, and that was about it.
Now I've looked at the facilities up there, and they're
fleshed out, grown out, just as the championship course ought
to be able to accommodate big crowds, able to accommodate

(01:39:11):
everything that goes with major championships. I believe this will
be the fifth that's being played right now, and then
they've got four or five more already on the docket.
They've had a US Open up there already, they've had
a women's mid Am up there, a lot of tournaments
and it's a fantastic place. I got to do live
broadcast from up there. That was really really cool, very fun.

(01:39:33):
All right, let me see, Jim, hang on, you hang
on through the break.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
I'll get to you when we get back on the
way out, and then we'll get to those scoreboards on
the way out.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
Phoenix Knives. I wonder if we ought to put a
knife on Mount Rushmore. Maybe so there's certainly part and
parcel to be in the outdoors, and I can't think
of a better one to put up than would be
one made by cowboys Zemanski himself that would be worthy
of that honor. He's been at this since nineteen seventy nine,
one of the finest knife makers in the entire country,

(01:40:03):
if not the world. He and his crew out there,
he has several people working with him now are churning
out beautiful, amazing knives of every configuration, every suitable for anything,
anything from a little paring knife to something you could
skin a buffalo with. It's already there in the showroom somewhere.

(01:40:24):
You want a folding knife, a big folding knife, they
got those.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Any kind of knife.

Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
They're in that great, big new space on Main Street
right there in the middle of Belleville. Been there, He's
been in Belleville forever, and this new space has just
enabled him to do more and to accommodate more people
who want to come in. You can go out there
and on a first come, first served you can learn
how to hammer, hot steal and make your own blade.

(01:40:52):
He'll do that for you, he really will. He and
anybody else in the store can do that for you.
They'll teach you that. And if you want to order
something extra special, something truly custom, it takes a little
more time and a little more money to get it done.
But you can get somebody a genuinely one of a
kind knife out of the Phoenix Knives store right there

(01:41:12):
in Belleville. Swing by down to swing down the street,
get yourself something to eat, and go back to Phoenix
Knives and continue your tour or continue working on your blade.
Phoenix Knives dot com. I love the idea of going
out there at Hammer and Steel. That sounds pretty that's
old school, working, working man stuff there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
Phoenix Knives, p. H. E. Nix Phoenix Knives dot com
nine to eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Already on Sports Talk seven to ninety. Holy cow, this
day is just blowing by. It really is.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Well, there's somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:41:45):
I think somebody was on the fine and then they
kind of bailed on us. I'm not sure. Yeah, he
got tired of Wait, that's okay. If you want to
call back, I'll take your call immediately. If you had
to go run down the hall or whatever you had
to do, that's fine. Uh yeah, Frank, it was me
during the break that his grandpa started hunting with a
La Fever sixteen gauge shotgun, and I thought, hmm, that's

(01:42:08):
kind of special. Oh here's another one, Frankie. This one
is ten thousand dollars. Now, I don't know what grade
of La Fever your grandpa has. I don't know what
he did with it, but holy cow, how about that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
I had a hunch because it's such as it's not unique.

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
Clearly there are four or five of them just at
this one site. However, it's a pretty pretty good quality
shotgun you're talking about there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:37):
All right, I gotta shift over and talk about golf
for a little while.

Speaker 3 (01:42:39):
By the way, Scott Nolan, I he sent me an
email for tomorrow, and I like the idea already, so
be thinking about it, all of you.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Please.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
Tomorrow we're gonna flip the Mount Rushmore thing. I'll finish
this one off when I go through the emails a
little bit later.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
Now, tomorrow we're gonna talk about the.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Mount Rushmore of and I'm gonna find it even more
saltwater lures, and maybe next week we can do one
for fresh water. But tomorrow, be thinking about it. Shoot
me emails. Now if you want, I'll tally up what
we get the mount rushmore of saltwater lures, and I
honestly throw in color if you want. But I honestly

(01:43:20):
think that we could do this just with the lure
name doesn't have to be a specific color even, but
just with the action it produces, and that, of course
the fish it produces.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
All right, let's go. Where are we going?

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
We're gonna go to the Memorial first Memorial tournament. As
I mentioned very early in the program, Nick Taylor and
Ben Griffin both at seven under par. They go out
at two ten today much later, let me see how
the golf's going.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
That's already started. See where these guys are. Actually, it
looks like we don't have a couple of people on
the golf course even and now Aideki Matsuyama is one
under through two holes. That brings him back to four
over par. By the way, the cut line on this
thing was plus five. You could be four over as

(01:44:10):
Basuyama was and still make the cut.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
So that gives you an idea of the level of
difficulty at Jack's Place up there in Ohio. Nick Taylor,
Ben Griffin at seven akha Batteya at Batiya at five.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
Scotti Scheffler there. He is again.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
Fourth place, all by himself at a very big signature event.
He tends to rise to the occasion, in case you
haven't noticed, and especially lately, it's been playing very well.
I will not be surprised, not at all, if Scotti
Scheffer finishes this day, maybe two out in front or

(01:44:54):
at least tied for the lead, and and just wades
into the pond tomorrow and steps on everybody's top, everybody's heads,
and ever he gets his feet wet and wins the thing.
Sam Burns is at three, Shane Lowry at three, Jordan
Speith at three. There's somebody who he is so desperately

(01:45:14):
close to really making a splash again.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
He's almost there.

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
But we talked last week about how I can't remember
whose good friend, who knows a lot about golf swings,
told him that that Jordan Speath's swing and the issues
he's had with his wrist are gonna come back to
haunt him again and possibly even take him out before

(01:45:40):
the end of the season. Now, I'm certainly not wishing
that on the guy, and he is playing well. He's
sitting there at sitting there at tied for fifth place
in a major. Well, it's not a major, but it
is a signature PGA Tour event, So hats off to
him and I hope he does well. Xander Shaffley, Alamore,
cow Russell, Henley, Tom Hogue, Hogy all at two under par,

(01:46:05):
they still got a chance. There are only five shots
off the lead with thirty six holes to play, so
all of those guys certainly still in contention.

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
We'll just have to see where and how and when the.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
Cream rises to the top and whether Scotty Scheffler wants
to let somebody else win this week, and I doubt
that he does. And if he's given the opportunity, if
anybody stumbles and trips over their shoelaces, it's going to
be it's going to be Scotty.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
Doing it again. Over to the Women's US Open on
going at Aaron Hills up there in Wisconsin, Wisconsin, and
that was the first time and the only time actually,
I've ever been to that state.

Speaker 3 (01:46:49):
And it was beautiful. There's no question. We went in
a good season. It was cool and comfortable, so there
there's just no issues with the weather. And I loved
the golf course. I'd love to go play again again someday.
As a matter of fact, I'd love to do broadcast
from there again. It's completely built out, though now a
totally different experience. Male Sigo from Japan eight under par

(01:47:11):
through two rounds. She is three shots clear of Nelly Korda.
And if she's kind of the Scottie Shuffler of women's
golf right now, Sarah Schmetzel, Schmelzel, excuse me? And Maya
Stark and Hanako Shabuno, oh excuse me, and a Lim
Kim and yell yay, lemmy know that one's a tougher one.

(01:47:36):
I work hard on pronunciations because names matter and I
like to.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
Get them right.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
All of them are at five under par, just just
that one sleeva of balls away from the leader, Lynn Grant,
Jing Yan Charie TAMBERLINI.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
Let me see if anybody else is there. Why do
these pop ups insist on getting mom in my way?

Speaker 3 (01:47:58):
These women are all at four under par, along with
one more jinh M also four under par. Korean woman
there and then it goes from there. Notably in women's golf,
we have second and third place occupied by Americans, and well,
no I see, actually they're all tied for second. Those

(01:48:20):
were all in the five unders. They're tied for second
once leave off, and then going from there down the
leader board, you have to get all the way to
a tie for nineteenth place to find the next one.
Women's golf not dominated by any stretch of the imagine
imagination by American women right now. And I think that

(01:48:43):
the world's best players from other countries are coming over
here to study and to do their college golf and
study here, and I think that has greatly helped them
to improve by leaps and into the number of international
players making splashes in LPGA golf. I just I just

(01:49:07):
wish somehow that our country could be better represented. And
it's not like there aren't good players out there, it's
just that we're if you if you isolated any other
one country, in other words, it wouldn't be such such
a big deal because not any other one country is
truly dominating golf. But when you go international against American

(01:49:32):
that looks a little bit lopsided.

Speaker 2 (01:49:34):
We've still got great players, Nelly Corda. It doesn't get
any better than that right now.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Seven one three, two one two five seven ninety Email
me Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. Excuse me, let
me run quickly look at my emails and make sure
there's nothing else I need to grab onto. Holy cow,
Rick Bis, Yeah, absolutely, you got to put a spinner
bait on there. You got to put a spinner bait
on the freshwater mount rushmore of lures, and it could

(01:50:01):
be any color and he size, And I'll tell you
the difference between generations too. And I hope you were
still listening, Rick. I talked to a young man who
works out at Blackhawk Country Club, Okay, and I was
putting my stuff away. I was putting rods and golf
clubs and everything that I put onto golf carts, just
to make sure I have a good experience when I
go out there.

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
I was put everything back in my car and he said,
were you fishing today? I said yeah. He said, you
do any good? And unfortunately two days ago, no, I
did not do any good. It was just it was rough.

Speaker 3 (01:50:31):
I finally just abandoned fishing to actually play five or
six holes again of golf before it got late enough
that I wanted to get out of there and give
the kids in the cart barn a break. But he said,
what were you throwing chatter baits? And I said, yeah,
I had that on one rod and I had a
spinner bait on the other one. He said, Oh, I've
never caught a fish on a spinner bait. This kid,

(01:50:55):
he's a teenager, he's probably driving, he's probably going with
his buddies to neighborhood lakes to wherever.

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
And he's never caught a fish on a spinner bait.
And it really like what I've.

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
Been fishing spinner baits since I could get eight and
h's for nineteen cents or twenty nine cents whatever they
cast back when I first bought them, and they are a.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
Go to lure for me.

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
Under seven out of ten water and weather conditions, there's
gonna be a spinner bait tied on almost all the time.
You can cover a lot of water with them. You
can catch big fish, little fish.

Speaker 2 (01:51:38):
There's all sizes and shapes and colors of spinner bats
like any other lure. Yeah, I would have a hard
time doing that. Oh, by the way, Steven wanted to know.
He said, good morning, Doug.

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
Would like to hear you and your listeners take on
using drones to take baits out and drop them for
surf fishing. I hooked my lineup and send the drone
out three hundred meters and drop it beats waiting out
to cast.

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Some say it's cheating.

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Let's see what is Uh, he's certainly he's not gonna
put it, says kind of like, and then I have
to open it to see because it was too much
kind of like what kind oh kind of like discussions
of opening up crossbows in archery for only in archery
only for.

Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
I see, uh no, this isn't anything like.

Speaker 3 (01:52:21):
It's not nearly so controversial as crossbows were when we
when they got allowed for archery only deer season. I
don't have a problem at all with putting your bait
on a on a drone and dragging it out there
for shark fishing, for jackfish, for king mackerel on a
pretty day, and something else that I would love for

(01:52:42):
you to try. If you're taking baits three hundred yards out,
try putting a live bait under a balloon and take
that out on the drone and drop it three hundred
meters out on a really pretty day and see if
you can't get something really cool going on, take it out.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
You know what, Well, no, I.

Speaker 3 (01:53:00):
Was gonna say, take it out to the end of
the surf side Jetty and then send that bait under
a balloon out another three hundred yards and see how
many king mackl you can catch in July and August.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
Oh man, that would be.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
So fun, Holy cow, But you'd end up getting wound
up in boat propellers unfortunately, no matter what. But the
idea of taking it off the beach front that way,
on a really clean, cool day, if the water's right,
you're certainly going to catch jacks, and you almost probably,
I would say, would catch a.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
King mackel or two. That's plenty far off the beach front,
and if you wanted to, really, if you, I don't
know if it's legal and lawful.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
Well I think it's legal, but I don't know if
they allow doing that off the ninety street fishing pier
or maybe the new one up on over across the
across the channel on Bolivar once it's built. But man,
if you could do that off that pier, your chances
of catching really cool fish would go straight up. And

(01:54:01):
I have no problem doing that. I only wish I'd
had drums when I was a peer rat. That would
have been pretty cool. Good heavens, look at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:54:08):
We got to take a little break here. We'll do that.
We'll come right back.

Speaker 3 (01:54:11):
We'll talk a little more fishing, We'll talk a little
more golf and anything else that you want to talk
about related to the outdoors. It's always welcome right here,
and I love hearing you, probably more than you gotta
love hearing me.

Speaker 2 (01:54:22):
I enjoy the conversations.

Speaker 3 (01:54:23):
We'll take a little break here and be right back
to The Dug Pike Show on Sports Talk seven ninety
nine thirty five on Sports Talk seven ninety The Dug
Pike Show, Thanks for listening, Brad Wade in he said, Man, hey,
maybe tell your your listeners what zebco stands for zebco.
Originally the company made not fishing reels. Zipco was zero

(01:54:46):
hour bomb company, and it was I think it was
like a alarm clocks or something like that, maybe them
or timers of some sort, I believe, but that's the
actual company name and the story of how they went
from that to fishing reels. Don't recall I knew it
at one point, but I guess it just wasn't It
wasn't important enough to make.

Speaker 2 (01:55:06):
It stick for me. Billy waded in a little while ago,
and he said, throwing it against the wall to see
if it'll stick instead of the Ambassador, or what about
the old golden Calcutta Also good, Also good, But I
don't think it boosts. I don't think it bumps the

(01:55:28):
five thousand not in my mind anyway. That was such
a game changer.

Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
And I remember saving up money to go buy my
first Ambassador to five thousand at gem Coo boy, No,
almost nobody in this audience.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
Probably remembers jimco Oh my god, it.

Speaker 3 (01:55:45):
Was about I want to say, it was like thirty
nine dollars and that was That was big money back then.
That was really big money back then. Holy cow for tomorrow.
Also on the lure selection side of Mount Rush that
we're gonna play with there, the saltwater side, and I
think most of the people in this audience would agree

(01:56:07):
that you almost have to put a mirrorlure on there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
You have to put that up there.

Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
I've owned I don't know how many of them over
the years. I got to be buddies with the guy
who owns the company years ago, fished with him and
his brother. Actually a few times we made one little
trip that they almost wanted to go incognito because his
brother liked to snook fish down there in Florida with
live live pilchards, and we would go throw a cast

(01:56:39):
net to get the bait. And then they used I
don't know if you've seen those, Frankie Sureley, you've seen those.

Speaker 2 (01:56:46):
Kids softball not softball.

Speaker 3 (01:56:48):
Bats, but just kind of toy plastic bats that are
the barrel of its oversized.

Speaker 2 (01:56:54):
It's as big as a can lope almost, yes, did
you down?

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
Okay, So imagine taking that and cutting cutting about half
of that barrel out from the middle of the of
the fat part out to the end.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
And what these guys would do. They waited, and we waited.
It was so fun to do this.

Speaker 3 (01:57:13):
You wade up on kind of a sand hole in
a grass bed, and the snook and big trout and
whatnot would back into that grass and just keep an
eyeball out for food that swam into the open area.

Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
And that be the size maybe of the room I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:57:27):
Sitting in here, the studio I'm in here, maybe a
little smaller, maybe a little bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:57:31):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
But when they got thirty or four about within casting range,
they would take some of their baits out of their bucket,
or even you can do it drift fishing too, and
drop them into that opening and then sling it and
that extra length and that just made it possible to
throw live fish thirty forty yards just sing them out

(01:57:58):
there and they pop into that sand hole, and if
nothing happened, he'd just go to another sand hole and
do it again. But if there was any kind of
a big fish in there, as soon as that bait
hit the water, it's just bam. They were on it
and would claber it. And so, yeah, we had a
lot of We had a lot of fun fishing down there.
A quick sidebar, back to the old days, and yeah,

(01:58:21):
that was fun. I actually ran into him on a
boat ramp down there on an entirely different trip that
I made to Florida many years ago. He was backing
his boat in and we were It was one of
Mark Nichols deals from DA and I saw the mirror
lure man.

Speaker 2 (01:58:37):
I said, man, hey, I hadn't seen you in a while.

Speaker 3 (01:58:39):
It was after I had made that trip with him
and his brother, probably probably the next year or so,
and he remembered who I was.

Speaker 2 (01:58:45):
It was fun. We talked lures for about ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:58:48):
He was trying to get back home for something, and
the guys I was fishing with were wanting to get
moving again, and we just stood there and talked about lures,
and finally they realized who I was talking to and
came over and we had a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Email.

Speaker 3 (01:59:05):
Me Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com. Frankie was telling me
that his grandpa in Mississippi when he was young, fished
for a fish that they called jackfish, and as it
turns out, that was just a local name, nothing like
the jack craval that a lot of people here called jackfish.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
And you either love them or you hate them.

Speaker 3 (01:59:29):
And once you've caught enough of them, because they're they're
tremendous fighters, tremendously strong fish. They're just muscle and eyeballs
and tail, that's it. Once you've caught enough of them,
it's like okay. Especially if you're trout fishing and you
hook a jack and all your buddies are still catching trout,
you know that you're gonna miss ten or fifteen minutes

(01:59:51):
of trout fishing just trying to get that jack back
close enough where you can get it off your line anyway.
In Mississippi, the jackfish is actually a chain pickerel, and
if you don't know what that is, it's a freshwater
fish that is kin to the northern pike, kin to
the musky. It's kind of a long, slender thing, probably

(02:00:15):
somewhere in its family tree related to the gar.

Speaker 2 (02:00:18):
That's what it's closest to in shape.

Speaker 3 (02:00:20):
But it doesn't get nearly so big as an alligator gar.
They probably get up to fifteen to twenty pounds, I
would bet, no bigger, and the average I would guess
is probably two to three much like a largemouth pass
I Actually, I told Frankie I caught one one time.

Speaker 2 (02:00:37):
That's the only one I've ever caught.

Speaker 3 (02:00:38):
Came from Lake Conro when it had been stocked with
them several years earlier, and mine apparently was the offspring
of one of those stockfish, because it was not much
bigger than my hand, and it ate a pretty good
sized lure.

Speaker 2 (02:00:54):
If I remember.

Speaker 3 (02:00:56):
It was a hungry, aggressive, little chain pickerel, But I'm
afraid the large mouse got to it before it got
any bigger. And that was the one and only one
of those I saw up there. Ever, pretty sure it
was at Conra. I'm about eighty five percent sure it
was Conra.

Speaker 2 (02:01:12):
I fished on so many different fishing on so many
different lakes, and loved every single minute of it. I
still can't get enough of fishing, and don't. I don't
know what it is. It just it soothes me.

Speaker 3 (02:01:23):
It lowers my blood pressure. It makes me feel right
about the world to just be out there fishing. And
I can be fishing with somebody else as long as
they know what they're doing, or by myself. It really
doesn't matter. Kevin Wade in here a little while ago.
I think for the Mount Rushmore, Yeah, my first cane pole, hmm,

(02:01:47):
I can't. I don't know that we can put cane
poles on Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 2 (02:01:51):
I don't. That'd be just no. I don't think we
can do that. But yeah, I like the way you think.
I also so caught many of my first probably my
first hundred fish on a cane pole before my dad
trusted me to grab his rod that was being dragged
toward the water by a catfish turned out to be

(02:02:13):
a couple of pounds. I thought, boy, I thought I
was on cloud nine man.

Speaker 3 (02:02:17):
Dad tells me to pick up his rod in reel,
and it actually was a zebco set up. He wasn't
that big a fisherman. I didn't know that until I
was older and really got into fishing myself. But he
took me because he knew I like to do it,
and he set himself up for success. He set me
up for success, and we had big times throwing night

(02:02:38):
crawlers out there and catching catfish and sunfish, and every
now and then when there was a little extra money
laying around, he'd buy some live minnows. That was old
school stuff man, and I greatly appreciate him for doing
that because I found out as we got older, both
of us. He died at sixty five because he was

(02:03:01):
a lifelong heavy smoker, unfortunately, but I found out that
he'd had some personal struggles in his life as well
the whole time I was growing up, and it was
something we dealt with in the family, and he bettered
himself and toward the end of his life we'd get
developed a good relationship again. But looking back on all

(02:03:24):
the times he took me fishing, whether it was here
or whether it was my grandparents' house down in Florida,
my other grandmother's house, his mother's house in New Orleans.
We'd go over to the park and do a little
cane pole fishing over there, because he knew I liked
being out there, and he'd just sit there and talk
to me, and he taught me a lot about life.

(02:03:46):
He really did good. Heavens, look at the time. Let
me tell you, Dave, hang on there and I'll take
you when we get back.

Speaker 2 (02:03:52):
I need to knock out this last break.

Speaker 3 (02:03:54):
I'm gonna do it quickly and we'll have some time
to talk when when I get back here. Shooter's Corner
Harbor Highway at twenty nine Street down there in Texas
City is it's an old school gun store, Okay, And
if you don't know what one of those is, go
to Shooter's Corner, close your eyes, walk in, and the
first thing you'll notice is the smell that smells like

(02:04:14):
my garage when I'm out there cleaning my guns. That's
because the place is full of guns that are being
cleaned regularly. There's all kinds of guns smithing work going
on behind the main counter in the very modest showroom
I guess it is. It's packed to the gills with
things that shooters need. You got guns, you got Ammo,
you got Camo, you got reloading supplies and optics. Anything

(02:04:38):
related to the shooting sports you can find at Shooter's Corner,
but not much anything else. They don't sell bubble gum.
They don't sell washing machines. I gotta buy one of
those today. As a matter of fact, they don't sell
tennis shoes. They just sell guns and shooting stuff. Jerry
and JTK theyre father and son team. Jerry star of

(02:05:00):
that business more than forty two three four years ago.
I can't remember exactly how many, and Jay's been right
there beside him since he was old enough to get
into that store. Whether you're a serious shooter or you're
brand new to guns, whether you've got a complicated gunsmithing issue,
or you just want to get your guns cleaned up
a little bit, Shooter's Corner is a great place to

(02:05:21):
do that. Family owned and operated for forty plus years.
And if you wear a badge for a living, you
get a discount at Shooter's Corner, which I think is
pretty nice.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
I wish more places did that. I really do. D
Shooters Corner TX dot com. D Shooters Corner, TX dot.

Speaker 3 (02:05:38):
Com nine fifty on Sports Talk seven ninety, Holy mackerel,
Frankie and I were just having discussions about parazzi shotguns
and the values of shotguns and what makes one more
expensive and valuable than the other. And that could take hours. Uh,
let's go get David. He I promised to get to him,
and we're here. I got to get the other mouth there.

(02:06:00):
Thanks Frankie.

Speaker 2 (02:06:00):
What's up, Dave?

Speaker 7 (02:06:03):
How are you doing?

Speaker 6 (02:06:03):
So?

Speaker 13 (02:06:04):
Everything is doing very everything is doing very, very well
in Texas. I'm very policed to say that there was
two shrimp laws passed by the legislator, and one of
them is actually telling the Department of Health to start
enforcement on restaurants are incorrectly labeling.

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
Important trip outstanding.

Speaker 7 (02:06:26):
That is a huge achievement.

Speaker 13 (02:06:29):
I'd like to thank all the media and everybody who's
been associated with it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:35):
You know, what, what was it day Dave? What was
it that got you guys interested in this in the
first place? Go back to day one.

Speaker 13 (02:06:43):
Day one, we were the most substituted product in the
world is most probably the American redsnapper, and we were
hired to develop a rapid genetic test for it, and
we discovered that you know when rest and afterself for
ten dollars of had nobody really wants to do enforcement
on the millions of pounds of tilapia that gets sold

(02:07:05):
as red snapper.

Speaker 2 (02:07:06):
Really, so yeah, okay, I had no idea.

Speaker 13 (02:07:10):
Yeah, it's I would say ninety ninety nine app ten
or nine apts ten red snapper dishes and not American
red snapper.

Speaker 2 (02:07:20):
That's now still oh yeah absolutely, Oh my word.

Speaker 13 (02:07:25):
You think you think that American red snapper is selling
wholesale at eight and a half nine bucks a pounds
and it's the thirty three percent yield that gives you.

Speaker 2 (02:07:34):
A thirty dollar yeah wow.

Speaker 13 (02:07:38):
Dollar a and somebody serves eight ounces, very huge red
You know, if you're paying twenty five dollars for a
red snapper, you're not getting red snap.

Speaker 2 (02:07:51):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (02:07:52):
So what happened is we developed the test, but nobody
really wanted it. But we saw the shrimp industry just
dying really really quickleet. So we redirected the test into
the golf shop and we started festivals talking to people
about authenticity and exposing people who are doing bad marketing practices.

(02:08:17):
We got hired by a couple of great seafood entities
one is a Southern trimp alliance and they allowed us
to go test multiple states where we've now finished all
the golf states and we'll be developing huge report for
the Federal Trade Commission, and we just want to make

(02:08:38):
a difference, which there is no coastal community with that
commercial fisherman.

Speaker 3 (02:08:44):
Right when you talk Dave, when you when you talk
to people who are in the shrimp business and the
restaurant people, the ones who actually are doing it right,
how how grateful are they to you for exposure?

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
The ones who.

Speaker 13 (02:09:00):
Aren't, well, they're incredibly grateful. And sure, we just are
exposing an issue. We don't want to expose a specific restaurant, no,
because we only need test a certain number and that
would let all the other restaurants doing the wrong thing go.
But I will say that if you have an authenticity

(02:09:20):
in your company and in your restaurant, it just makes
everybody feel comfortable and it's a better working environment to
be difficult, to be deceitful to your customers and feel
proud about your product.

Speaker 4 (02:09:36):
Got it?

Speaker 3 (02:09:36):
Just a minute or two more, David? One more question?
Do you foresee something like this ever happening with Red
Snapper and any other fish that's just not kosher like that.

Speaker 13 (02:09:50):
I think it should. But you know, and I'm not
saying that people shouldn't serve other species of fish, just
be somewhat honest about it. You know, our oyster industry
is basically being crippled by imports Korean oysters.

Speaker 2 (02:10:07):
Okay, most of.

Speaker 13 (02:10:08):
The time when you have a oyster on the golf
it's pretty of fun or saying. Think if you go Inland,
more often than not you're eating eating a breaded Korean oyster,
which you know, I think if somebody was given the choice,
they most probably wouldn't order it. That might be incredibly good,
But people want golf products. People want American commercially caught

(02:10:33):
secret sure, and the.

Speaker 2 (02:10:34):
Closer you are, Frank, you's telling me we're about out
of time. Dave, thanks so much, man, anytime, I'm fascinated
by all this.

Speaker 3 (02:10:43):
Keep me on your email list. Okay, boy, Oh, I
hate to let him go, but we're almost to the
end of the world here, and wanted to make sure
that we're all buckled up and ready to go. I
think we're past most of this rain we had during
the week. Oh my gosh, I had some pretty ugly
stuff I talked during on fifty plus. I think it

(02:11:03):
was Tuesday or Wednesday, whatever night it was that that
stuff came rumbling through it. At about four o'clock in
the morning, I was awakened by a lightning strike that
sounded like it came from my sock drawer.

Speaker 2 (02:11:19):
It was just incredibly like it was in just right
in the room.

Speaker 3 (02:11:24):
I was dead certain I was gonna look up and
see the sky through a hole in the roof.

Speaker 2 (02:11:28):
It was that loud.

Speaker 3 (02:11:29):
It shook the house more than any that I've had
a lot of times. You can get a big lightning striking,
the house kind of jiggles a little bit. This one, man,
it it spooked me a little bit. I didn't know
whether somebody kicked in the door. I didn't know whether
it was a lightning strike, whatever it was, though, I
was two shakes from retrieving my family protection device.

Speaker 2 (02:11:53):
All right, we're gonna get out of here. Looks like
a pretty good day to be outside. I'm cooped up
right now, but it looked dark going good this morning.

Speaker 3 (02:12:01):
I'll be back here again tomorrow at eight. Be thinking
about what lures you would put onto a fresh water
and a saltwater mount Rushmore. I think that could be
kind of fun, because we've all got favorites and not
all of them are alike, kind of like fishermen, kind
of like golfers. All got some real interesting golf stuff

(02:12:23):
for you too tomorrow, about how many shots we should
get if we were gonna play where the pros play. Well,
that's it for now, Stay safe, get outside, have some fun.

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
We'll see tomorrow. Audios
