In the first episode, Steve purchases Das Boat out of a backyard in central Texas then takes it to a local fabricator and spends a day trying to make sure it’ll float. He and Texas fishing icon, JT Van Zandt chase redfish down on the coast, taking Das Boat into skinny saltwater it’s definitely never seen before. They end the day in JT’s kitchen cooking up a spread of blackened redfish tacos and sipping a little tequila. Along the way they discuss tribalism, the benefits of artificial lures vs. dead bait, the serviceability of redfish flesh, and the closest thing to a chicken thigh you can find on a fish. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes!

This is great!! This shows all generations we do not need a fancy, sparkly bass boat to enjoy the water & catch fish. I own & guide fishing trips out of a 1995 14 ft aluminum Lowe 1405 fishing boat. You should hear the comments from some of the bass boat & recreational boat guys. Like Steve mentioned in this episode, sometimes I feel ashamed because of my old aluminum boat. Then my clients make me feel wonderful when catching fish out this little boat and say things like: "I need to get a boat like this", "this is quite the little fishing boat", & "this boat catches fish". Get out & enjoy the outdoors any way you can, no matter what you have. Go Fish!

Hey from Cheboygan MI. Steve! Love the story of finding some life in things that still have something to give! Homemade shit to put downriggers on, HA! Learned to fish in my dad’s ‘56 Tomahawk. Cedar strip with oak ribs, 9.9 on the transom. Before my “big boat” that 14’ had a Riviera rigger, planer mast made of water pipe and 3 old Penn reels, PVC rod holders. Caught a lot of fish in that little boat! But never felt like a didn’t belong out there. Between “big boats” it sported Big Jon electric riggers and planer mast, down speed/temp and fished even better than before! Every time I see Dad we talk about that boat. Best $378 he ever spent! Albeit 64 years ago!

Steve, here in GA we call that hook/weight/leader rig a "knocker rig". It can be used when fishing heavy structure for sheepshead and black drum. The sliding weight directly against the hook can be used to help dislodge a hook stuck in barnacles on pilings, or in oysters, etc.... #meateater for life!

Keeping fish is not an integral part of fishing. The guide doesn’t keep many fish because it affects the fishing. Keeping redfish like that is ok but keeping bass is another thing. People target bass for the fight and the fun of catching them. Every fish kept is one less fish in the ecosystem which makes it harder for other people to catch fish. By keeping fish you ARE affecting other people’s chances and making less enjoyable.
