You can ask coach to take a picture or poster or

whatever.

I said, no, I'm not really.

You know, I've played junior college basketball, and I've been into sports in my younger years.

So I've been around pro athletes and know a lot of guys.

I played high school basketball against Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.

I mean, we were rivals.

You know that, right? Yeah, you know where I've

What specifically excites you about Gossman and the addition to this Chicago Cubs team?

Yeah, he's steady.

You know, on the surface level, you see he only has three pitches.

Used to have four and kind of took the change up out of it.

But he has an above average extension.

So even though that fastball only comes in at like 94, looks a little better than that.

I think what excites me most about him is you see a 35-year-old starter and you go, okay, he might be over the hill.

What is your scorecard? What is your grade for them? And what would it take for them to really push that grade up?

Augustine to try to find some pretty water? What's your game plan right now?

I'm staying up in the valley because I'm seeing so many fish, and I'm bouncing school to school trying to locate feeding fish or feeding schools.

And I give that as much time as I can until it's about a foot away from the grass line or just up to the grass.

And then while I still have moving water, Um, I'm running South.

The clarity is good in some spots and then you get those clouds, you know, pushing through and other spots based on the current or the rip or whatnot.

Um, water temps were 86 up to 90 in the Creek.

You know, it's, it's warm.

So, you know, this time last year, do you feel like the fishing was as good or better or not?

Yeah.

I mean, there are so many great tournaments, and all these guys that run the tournaments and all the sponsors of the tournaments, our area is just so special with Kingfish tournament season.

I mean, from the ones that you can go anywhere to the ones that level the playing field and keep you within the beach, it's just a phenomenal community or group that, It is.

It's cool not even being a part of it myself, just knowing how special and how much families and guys look forward to it.

and really bust their butts to, you know, to do their best in it.

It's very cool that we have that fishery in northeast

But you

know what's funny? When you take people on tournaments, like when somebody books you on a tournament, I I will live and die by this.

yeah he

um he was working you know he was a regular truck driver dude and you feel me he um he was always talking to his friends the senate third and you know eventually he um he just started recording himself and he noticed he got a uh he gained you know he gained the audience in the short amount of time when he kept uh posting consistently on tick tock and um yeah me personally i feel like i got tired of like saying some good ass like i'll be talking on the phone my boys talking on the phone my lady and like damn you know if i was recording that bro That would have been some gold right there, you feel me? So I got tired of saying some real ass shit and that shit just going into empty space.

So I was like, I got to start recording myself, yo.

So, you know, at first I was trying to like, you know, get all the gizmos and gadgets.

And, you know, I was using that as an excuse.

as to why i haven't started yet and my girl was like yo just use your phone like just use your phone so i'm like yo you know what let me lock in you feel me so you know i'll put some intention behind it before i before i started doing a content because uh hey you know before you start something serious you got to put some intention behind it but um yeah bro um i had a moment when i was in a truck bro because you feel me everybody don't want to work a nine-to-five forever so well some people do some people don't got the mindset to pivot out of it but um Yeah, bro.

I had a moment, you know, I kind of yelled out loud.

So I pulled right up on Rob and said, what's up, buddy? And he goes, I'm about to leave.

I go, yeah, I was thinking that.

So I bumped some dead shrimp off of him and pulled in where he was, and we sat there for another hour, and I'm looking for two grass patches on the bank, and I'm telling my people, once those grass patches are out, we're out.

Yep,
