“This is the only podcast that I actually look forward to listening to each week, although I listen to many others. Joe’s long-form interviews with wildly different personalities reveal so much that is unknown about different scenes in the world of fishing. He accomplished this without being mired in the framework of corporate commercialism which taints many other similar shows. The show is also hilarious at points, with regular segments and guests that you can actually get excited about when they pop up. Being a product of the 80’s and 90’s, it’s hard not to smile at the myriad pop-cultural references Joe peppers throughout his shows. If you have ever spent any time in the northeast, you will also likely hear mention of people and places that take you back - like when Joe mentioned the first party boat I ever fished on as a kid - the Blackhawk. Finally, the musical component of this show can’t be ignored either. Cermele’s knowledge of various genres of punk, hardcore and metal adds a dimension to this content that really rounds it out. Many times I have gone back and listened to a track or album he has referenced on the show - he even has a companion playlist on Spotify. This pod is pure gold and will make you want to go out and wet a line every time you listen to it.”
