Garren shares his journey into the outdoors, where his passion for adventure and time outside first began, and how those experiences eventually led to the creation of Turtlebox.

Along the way, we discuss outdoor culture, adventure, conservation, and how brands can authentically connect with their communities.

Kurt shares his background in the outdoors, how he got started hunting and fishing, and what ultimately led him to create Western Obsessions TV. From there, we dive into the parallels between chasing elk with a bow and targeting fish with a fly rod. We discuss the importance of patience, preparation, reading animal behavior, and making the most of brief opportunities when they present themselves. Whether you're stalking a bull elk in the backcountry or trying to get a perfect cast in front of a feeding trout, many of the same skills and mindsets apply. We also talk about conservation, public lands, adventure, and why both fly fishing and bowhunting attract people who appreciate the process just as much as the outcome. Kurt shares stories from the field, lessons learned through years of hunting and fishing, and his thoughts on where outdoor media is heading in the future. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, plus final thanks and plugs. <p class="e-10492-text encore-text-body-medium" data-encore-id= "text" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-fragment= "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

Luke shares stories from guiding and fishing around Charleston, along with one unforgettable trip to Costa Rica that turned into an all-time fly fishing adventure. From chaotic moments on the water to unforgettable fish and travel experiences, this episode is packed with the kind of stories every angler can appreciate. We also dive into the culture around saltwater fly fishing, traveling for fish, and the experiences that keep people coming back to the water year after year.

We dive into Eeland's comedy career, the current state of the comedy scene, and how he first got started performing stand-up. Along the way, we also talk about how fly fishing entered his life, what led him into guiding, and how the outdoors became such an important part of his story.

Ben shares how he first got started in fly fishing, where his connection to the outdoors began, and how his relationship with fishing has evolved over the years. We also dive into how content creation naturally became part of what he does and his approach to telling stories through photography and video. We talk about balancing the experience of being fully present on the water while still capturing meaningful content, along with how his background as a professional athlete with the United States men's national soccer team shaped the mindset he brings into fishing and media today. We also get into gear, travel, creativity, and what's coming next for Ben moving forward. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, plus final thanks and plugs. If you're into fly fishing, outdoor storytelling, and the crossover between sports and the outdoors, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with James Jay and Matt to talk about Fish Whistle and the future of fishing technology. James and Matt break down what Fish Whistle is, where the idea came from, and the meaning behind the tagline: "Stop searching. Start catching." We dive into the frustrations many anglers face spending more time hunting for fish than actually catching them, and how the app is designed to help solve that problem. We also get into the types of data and inputs Fish Whistle uses to help anglers make smarter decisions on the water, whether the app is aimed more toward hardcore anglers or beginners, and what the team hopes to learn before the full launch. Another major topic in this episode is the balance between technology and conservation. We discuss concerns around overexposing fisheries and how Fish Whistle approaches those conversations responsibly. James and Matt also share their thoughts on where fishing technology could be headed over the next 5–10 years and what separates Fish Whistle from the growing number of fishing apps on the market today. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist before closing out the episode. If you're interested in fishing technology, innovation, and the future of the sport, this is one you won't want to miss.
