All About the Alaska King Salmon Crisis and Solutions - Episode #771

Alaska's King Salmon crisis is only getting worse. Listen in as Tom discusses different solutions with Cody McLaughin, an Alaskan wildlife fanatic and serves on the board of the Alaska Outdoor Council. If you want to get involved contact your local congressmen and let them to know you'd like for the commercial bycatch to be stopped. The science proves that it's not just climate change, but commercial factory trollers play a big role in the decline of the King and Chum Salmon populations.

How 2 Tuesday - The Palomar Knot- Tie it! Test it! - Episode #770

The Palomar Knot is a popular and widely used fishing knot known for its simplicity, strength, and reliability. It gets its strength from forming a double line through the eye of the hook, which distributes the load and minimizes stress on the knot. It is a versatile knot that works well with various types of fishing lines, including monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided lines. How do you think the Palomar Knot performs in the test?

Remember to practice tying the knot a few times before heading out on your fishing trip to ensure you can tie it confidently and securely. Let us know what knot you would like to see tested next!

In this episode I talk about how to workout when on the road with a little bit of equipment. This workout was borrowed from Dan John, who has a 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge! This is a modified version to get 500 swings in a shorter period of time.

To accomplish this, do the kettlebell swing (Russian or American version) + a pressing exercise. For example: 5 rounds of 10 swings, 1 pushup, 15 swings, 2 pushups, 25 swings, 3 pushups, 50 swings with a 30 second break.
