It’s been a while since we did a regular episode – the last couple have been video specials, so we wanted to show the love for our audio podcast amigos. Plus, all three of us have been on the road and had some crazy adventures. Unfortunately, Brian’s sick today and that’s too bad because he had some epic stuff go down in BC and before that, he was over on Cape Cod. You’ll have to settle for Mike and I but we promise not to disappoint.

I love to fly in helicopters…I especially like to use them for shooting assignments. A few weeks ago a good friend and fellow photographer Jackie Shumaker was headed out to do an aerial assignment, so I asked if I could come along and shoot a little podcast about the flight. After getting the go ahead from the AirCam and the pilot we were off. Two GoPro cameras and the Canon XF300 were put in place to capture Jackie, the pilot and the flight. Here’s the result from our short aerial shoot.

Fish Schtick Episode 82 – Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor

September 26, 2011 No Comments by Michael Mauro

Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor fished Alaska’s Naknek River, a tributary to Bristol Bay in this year’s 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. They were our fundraising leaders by such a wide margin that they out-raised last year’s entire 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. It’s a testimony to who they are, what their fishery is about, and how much passion people have for defeating Pebble Mine. They join us today from Alaska Sportsman’s Bear Trail Lodge .

Fish Schtick Episode 81 – Cheeky Fly Fishing

September 19, 2011 No Comments by Michael Mauro

You know that feeling when you drop your fly a couple feet ahead of a fish — heart beating, hands shaking, you strip, strip … and WHAM the water erupts – the fly is devoured, the line goes taught and the fish is off. You’re on. That’s what Cheeky Fly Fishing is all about. I totally stole that straight from their website, and we’ll get Cheeky’s Ted Upton to get into the rest of his story on today’s Schtick.

Fish Schtick Episode 80 – Kristi Denton Cohen

September 14, 2011 No Comments by Michael Mauro

If fly fishing has a “book,” in modern times, that book has been “A River Runs Through It,” because that book had a movie and that movie had Brad Pitt. But ask anybody who reads and who has been into fly fishing for more than a year or two what their favorite fly fishing book is, and they’re liable to say “The River Why.” If they don’t say, “The River Why,” they’ll say “Trout Bum” by John Gierach, but that’s another story.
“The River Why” by David James Duncan is epic, beloved, treasured … and now it has a movie, too – one that’s been a long time coming. It stars Zach Gilford, William Hurt, Amber Heard and Kathleen Quinlan.

Lake Conroe is famous as a big bass lake. Ron Higgins calls it a home water, and has seen fish over 13 pounds come aboard his boat. He also plies the waters of Lake Livingston and Lake Houston, and not just for bass. Stripers, Wipers, Catfish and Crappies are common quarry at Higgy’s Freshwater Adventures, and he’s got some good stories to tell on today’s Schtick.

Fish Schtick Episode 78 – Jeff Kolodzinski

August 15, 2011 No Comments by Michael Mauro

Jeff Kolodzinski holds one of the more interesting world records in fishing. Biggest bass? Longest Lingcod? Fattest Flathead? Nope. He holds the record for the most total fish caught in a 24 Hour Period. This is not part of the Recycled Fish 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon, there’s another organization – Fishing For Life – that also does its own Fish-A-Thon and Kolo is their spokesperson. Jeff just broke his own world record – you aren’t going to believe how many fish he caught, it’s amazing. But you’ll also love why he does it.

Fish Schtick Episode 76 – Frank Smethurst

July 29, 2011 No Comments by Michael Mauro

Frank Smethurst is kind of one of those fly fishing rockstar dudes. Maybe most famous for being the guy sprinting down the beaches of Baja with a fly rod in the movie “Running Down the Man,” Frank has hosted Trout Unlimited’s TV Show, “On the Rise,” guided on epic waters, he pro staffs for cool companies and works today as a rep for Patagonia. Stuff like that creates the fodder for some good stories, so we’re going to mine him for some today.
