Take It to the Lake - Pulled Pork & Jiu Jitsu - Episode 156

Take It to the Lake - Pulled Pork & Jiu Jitsu - Episode 156

This week we're firing up the smoker and hitting the water. First up, pulled pork tacos done right — the rub, the low-and-slow cook, the bark, and how to build a taco that doesn't fall apart in your hands. Then we go down a rabbit hole most people wouldn't expect: what jiu jitsu and fishing actually have in common. Patience, reading your opponent (or the water), staying calm when things get tense, and knowing when to grind versus when to go for the finish. Grab a taco, grab a rod, and take it to the lake. 🔗 Connect with Tackle & Tacos 🌐 Website: https://tackleandtacos.com [https://tackleandtacos.com] 📸 Instagram: @tackleandtacos 📘 Facebook: @tackleandtacos ▶️ YouTube: @tackleandtacos 🙏 Huge Thanks to Our Sponsors 🧊 Grizzly Coolers — https://grizzlycoolers.com [https://grizzlycoolers.com] 🎟️ CODE: WCB = 15% OFF 🎯 Leupold Optics — https://leupold.com [https://leupold.com] 🎣 Denali Fishing — https://denalifishing.com [https://denalifishing.com] 🚤 Moldy's Marine — https://moldysmarine.com [https://moldysmarine.com] 🛡️ Northland Insurance Services — https://northlandinsuranceservices.com [https://northlandinsuranceservices.com] ❤️ If you enjoyed this episode, we'd really appreciate it if you liked, subscribed, left a review, and shared it with a fishing buddy.

HOW TO Develop Fishing Consistency w/ Bob Downey! - Episode 154

This week we're sitting down with Bob Downey, a pro bass angler out of Minnesota who's built a career on doing the boring things right, over and over again. If you've ever wondered why some anglers seem to catch fish no matter the conditions while the rest of us feel like we're rolling dice every time we hit the water — this episode is for you. Bob breaks down what consistency actually looks like at the tournament level, and it's not some secret bait or magic lure. It's a mindset, a process, and a willingness to trust your gut even when the leaderboard says otherwise. We get into the weeds on flipping wood — how to read cover, when to commit, and why patience around timber separates the anglers who catch a few fish from the ones who catch a limit. But the real gold in this one is the mental side of the game. Bob opens up about how he manages pressure, resets after a bad stretch, and stays locked in over a long tournament day. Whether you're chasing a check on the pro circuit or just trying to have a better day on your home lake, there's something here for you. 🎙️ In this episode: What "consistency" really means for a tournament angler Flipping wood: technique, timing, and confidence Managing the mental grind of competitive fishing Knowing your process and trusting it Bob Downey Facebook: @bobdowneyfishing Instagram: @bobdowney_ YouTube: Bob Downey Fishing 🔗 Connect with us: Website: tackleandtacos.com Instagram: @tackleandtacos Facebook: @tackleandtacos YouTube: @tackleandtacos 🙏 Thanks to our sponsors: Grizzly Coolers — grizzlycoolers.com - CODE WCB = 15% off Leupold Optics — leupold.com Denali Fishing — denalifishing.com Moldy's Marine — moldysmarine.com Northland Insurance Services — northlandinsuranceservices.com Positivity is worth the effort!

"Evinrude" is Latin for Dogsh*t - Before & After & After - Chippewa Flowage - Episode 152

Sometimes a fishing derby doesn't go the way you planned. Actually, sometimes nothing goes the way you planned — especially when you're running an Evinrude that decides to play Russian roulette with your confidence. Worthless isn't really a strong enough word for that motor. We're diving into two days of the Chippewa Flowage solo derby, and yeah, there's some real frustration baked into this one. Day one had Jordan grinding as a Boater alongside a solid fishing partner that he didn't know he was gonna have in the boat until that morning, but the real story? That Evinrude. You know the one. The one that drops RPM on pad, shuts off, fires back up, shuts off again, and then — after enough cycles of rage-fueled troubleshooting — just decides it's done with you. Completely done. Won't start. Won't even pretend to cooperate. It's the kind of motor drama that'll test your patience faster than a full moon bite. But here's the thing: fishing is still fishing, and fun found a way in anyway. Day two brought an unexpected turn when Jordan, fishing as a non-boater, got in the Triton with Brian Beebe, and that's where the energy shifted. Fresh perspective, different approach, and a reminder that sometimes the best derby moments aren't about dominating the leaderboard — they're about who's sitting next to you and what you're learning together. 🎣 Powered by Grizzly Coolers — Keep it cold, keep it fresh.
