Fish Schtick Episode 65 – Children’s Author Spectacular

 

A very special show featuring some of the authors who are using their craft to encourage kids to get outside and get fishing. Those of us who love the outdoors know how important it is to get kids outside, and studies have shown that nothing is more effective at doing that than fishing. Authors Kirk Werner, Mike DiLorenzo and Kristine Houghtman were our guests on the latest episode of The Fish Schtick.

Fish Schtick Episodes 44 and 45

The Schtick has been on summer hiatus but we managed to record a couple of shows recently with a couple of guests who are really great story tellers. We expect to be back on our weekly schedule mid September and have some great new guests lined up so stay tuned.

Episode 44 - Fish Artist Curt Redden

Curt Redden lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and loves fishing, art, and promoting catch & release for trophy fish. It was a natural combination to produce a gallery of beautiful fish art and to give anglers who wanted to hang a trophy on the wall an opportunity to do it through original painted art. Curt is involved with conservation, fishing and art in a handful of different ways – and he’s had time in the media, too.

Episode 45 - Darren Gallaher

Darren Gallaher is a friend from Chattanooga, Tennessee, or pretty close to there. He’s been fishing competitively since he was just a little kid, kind of a bass prodigy. As an adult he guides and fishes competitively, he’s a spokesperson for a number of brands like Berkley and Bass Pro Shops, and has even held a tournament director title. But the reason we wanted to have him on the show more than anything is that he’s a great guy who loves to fish and has a million good stories. Plus we just like the way he talks.

Fish Schtick Episode 42 – Keith "Catfish" Sutton

Keith “Catfish” Sutton hails from Arkansas, but he’s fished waters from Canada to Brazil, and everything in between. He’s written thousands of articles for every fishing magazine you’ve ever read – unless it’s a fly fishing publication. He says, “that’s outside my bailiwick.” He’s an award winning writer with over 70 awards to his name, he’s a television host and a great storyteller. We had fun making our way through a bunch of fishing stories and we alsol talked about getting kids fishing, because Catfish serves as Executive Director for the Future Fisherman Foundation.

The Fish Schtick

A few months back Michael Mauro approached me about doing a podcast in conjunction with Teeg Stouffer at Recycled Fish. Having absolutely no experience with the genre, or comfort level behind the mic, I said, "Why not" .... and the Fish Schtick was spawned. A mash-up of Recycled Fish and Moldy Chum, the Schtick is produced weekly by Mauro Media, covers the top stories here on Moldy Chum and what’s new at Recycled Fish. It’s some of the best guests the world of fishing has to offer: People off the beaten path with great stories to tell, men and women bringing innovation and discovery, some quirky personalities, and some of the biggest names and events.

Each week we also cover what’s hot in conservation and stewardship news too, so you’ll not only be a better informed angler, you’ll be a better informed steward.

The Fish Schtick is now available on iTunes, RSS, or listen online through the Mauro Media website. Links to the first nine episodes are below.
