I started a small county fair in Arkansas and now I've traveled the world 121 world titles and heavyweight and super heavyweight division and then 36 national titles over six different weight classes Yeah, it's a lot of fun man, just it's because that's that redneck thing you did growing up I heard the trucks picking tables and I turned it into a way to travel the world and see a lot of interesting places Me a lot of interesting people.

That's a fun today Any arm wrestling I think we shall I think we shall so we're gonna go fishing first kind of kind of get a broken Yeah, kind of warm up some fishing. Yeah. Yeah, all right. Let's get it. Where are you from hot Springs, Arkansas? I haven't drove straight here, so I have no clue. How's the fishing in Arkansas? Real good actually. I'm gonna just be as transparent as possible. I have not held a fishing rod in 40 years Really? Yeah, that makes even better. Yeah, so I mean I grew up on the lake You haven't caught a fishing So I grew up on the lake as a kid and my dad always wanted to go fishing and we also had a pool So I was like, yeah dad go ahead. I'm just gonna hang out here and swim the pool Yeah, so I never really got into it It's probably because I didn't have a lot of patience, you know, so but if you're catching fish, it's amazing Yeah, just sitting around there. I just wasn't the dude. So when he told me about this I'm like, yeah, that sounds like a good thing to do because it just wasn't something as that we get into as a kid So it's something to be fun to try now Yeah, especially someone who's experienced that, you know, I guess so 40 years. So how do you do this? All right, let's get it. All right, so we're gonna get it started today. This is the pole that I'm gonna set you up with All right, this is the one, huh? It's spinning combo. So pretty much you got your hook tied onto your line All right, you got your weight on the front Okay, your slides all the way down then you got your bait that is on the hook and this is weedless So you're not gonna hook anything got you see how you can't oh That's cool. So when they bite down on it though, and you go to hook set, you know, it's gonna get them got you So so I'm not accidentally gonna get got no So how common is it as you're doing a little trolling motor thing to someone fall off the side of this? I'm gonna be honest. It's never happened Hopefully it doesn't happen today. If it does. I hope I'm recording. I hope you're filming. I hope you're filming Dude, that's perfect Perfect So now look Yeah, let it out a little bit and then you see you're already on the bottom see all your lines not moving right So you'll want to roll it up or yeah, close the bell first and then kind of reel it tight and um Reel up your sack a little more Now kind of give her a hop And you'll feel a fish, but you got one or you want to rock now You'll kind of feel them tick it, you know to kind of feel like a little And sometimes it's a little softer than usual, but you know when I felt that first little tug I was like, oh man I already got one great Hold this real quick. I'm gonna show you the range motion. Okay, so that's as far as warm goes up Come on. That's that's straight. That's bone on bone. That's literally that's it Are you ready for the crazy one? Yeah We jokingly say the reason I have a beard because I can't touch my face That's it See you literally only got this middle motion Bone bone Yeah, I've lost 19 and a half inches range of motion. It's horrible So he's talking about don't hurt your heart if I ever fall or trip I never because my wrist won't be in back. Yeah, so I never try to catch myself I just tuck and roll because I got to protect that moneymaker. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna protect that moneymaker. All right So we got him all set up up there. Let me see this cast before I rig up Watch this He's a profession Look at that Beautiful perfect cats I'm impressed man. Every cast you've thrown has been like really good. So If you guys are wondering what I'm going to be using it's a little rage crawl and this is in blue bug If you guys watched one of the recent blogs you can go check it out down below We uh bought a lot of tackle at bass pro So I'm just going to be putting this on one fourth ounce of bullet weight three extra wide gap hook And we're going to toss this around for a little bit see if we can find some fish out here on the main river More importantly get him on some fish Get him to catch this first bass in 40 years. So that'd be fun So funny you casted three times to my I'm just really uh Sometimes I'm a little too fast I'll do the same thing with Cody. He's a little more patient than me It's good to work it slow though. That's pretty good. That was a good cast. I felt like that was a pretty good one There's a technique with it where you go low That was pretty, you know, I can get get right up in there. So I'm probably not pulling that one off. Oh, you got him Yep, there we go, brother He's been fight hard out here too. They fight so good, you know, they live in this current. So they're so strong. Yeah so, uh I'm actually gonna put these those are shallow water anchors in the back. They're called power poles. Okay. I'm gonna lock us down for a minute There we go Check him out the first fish I mean you see the color of the water is kind of tannic, right, you know kind of brown looking It's still clear. So it kind of gives him that that nice glow But that's not a bad fish at all. Is it buddy? So there we go. We got the first fish today Nothing big good little pound and a half for a nice bass. It's cool ain't it? Yeah, it's awesome That was pretty it's pretty neat when you caught it too. I was like, oh, you got one Yeah, but uh get him back in the water let him swim another day Always promote catch and release of these bass now we got to get Monster Michael Todd on a fish man. Here we go. It's your time, baby Not too bad. I'm probably in your way a little bit too, huh? I was definitely gonna blame you on that one Cody would have been there. I would have nailed that. Oh, I got one. Oh, you got him. Oh, you got to set the hook a little bit harder It's a winner. You were good. There you go Ah, oh man another nice little bass There's some good ones. I mean, they're not bad Look how pretty that fish is just like you got a nice colors on them, right? Just in this tannic water living out here It's a pretty fish. They're really fat and healthy. Here we go second bass. There you go. You see there's fish in here. There are? Yeah They don't like me Good times though What in the world is that? I'm sure if these fish had arms you'd have something to do to them. Yeah, I know, right? That's a pretty fish though There's one up in there See the spot looks so good. And like I said, it's all a timing thing with that water coming in You can tell they're biting a little better There you go. That's some great cast Great. What did, did he have them? All right, three more casts. Three more. Get you one more under here, and then we'll get two up from Did he bite it? Did he get it? Was he on it? He might have He might have bit it Good try though. Let me let me get your bait. He might eat it again Did you see how far he was running with it? Yeah, because you landed See you landed in that corner and he had taken it all the way to the left All right. All right. Last cast. Last cast of the day guys. See the little shady spot? That corner? Yeah All right here. Feeling safe Got it. That's a good cast. That's still a good one It wouldn't go about three foot, but that was it for the day guys I don't know. You always got to make one more after the last one for good luck One more in that shade for good luck Either way, it's been a great time having you on the boat. I have. Thank you guys for sharing this day with me Make me feel like a kid again. He's been accurate like his last like 20 casts. Yeah Perfect It's been fun guys. We did. We did. Now it's time to go get on the armrest. Yes, let's do the armrest All right guys, we had a blast out here, man. Thank you so much for coming out. Have fun It was tough. You know, we had some some bites here and there, but you know We only had a little bit over an hour out here, but we had a good time. It's just hot Well, you caught a couple of fish. You looked awesome. I got a few Um, you had a few good bites and he was just getting the casting down so good at the end there You I'm actually pretty proud of my casting. I'm you did a great job. I mean, I think I could go This is what I'm gonna do when I get these new rods in I'm gonna send you one. All right So you go fishing back home. You send me a picture. I will do that. Absolutely But um, man, we're gonna go over to nine line now He's gonna whip out his arm wrestling table and I'm gonna teach him a lesson You know, listen, I know I'm half his size, but we gotta make it out. You're almost half my size But uh, yeah, we're gonna go ahead take the boat out of the water. I'll catch you guys there He's gonna teach us a little bit about arm wrestling. All right All right, just meet it out the nine line and look at his beast right here. Check it out. He's got him in old RAP RV as well. There you go nationwide tour taking on all comers. You're the next victim. Yes This is awesome. If you guys ever see him make sure you go by and say hey, it did a cool job, man Yeah, I like it. I like it. Uh, like I said, once the Hummer gets wrapped behind it It'll be a lot easier to access the table right now. I got I got a breakdown tape You got to put back together Once the Hummers ever will just pop at the back and pull a fully fully put together table out Throw it down and start taking on pullers, you know, you know, you think about arm wrestling Everybody's arm wrestled, right? Well, you never think of it as like this competitive, right? So it's just cool to see this side of it and um Man, I've had a good time today. We had a blast on the water. I wish he would have got a fish But now he gets to beat me in arm wrestling. So Make sure you make fun. So first thing is you want to chalk your hand So we got your own chalk here because you want to make sure you don't slip out And if you do slip out, we put the strap on So you can get on that side of the table. We just went fishing. I had a great time Terribly unsuccessful though. Um, this guy was awesome. He did amazing But now we're going to teach you guys a little bit about arm wrestling. Come up, put your elbow on the table How would you normally arm wrestling? Put your hand on the hand peg? Yeah How would you normally arm wrestling? Yeah, normally You're just going to pull push sideways, right? So that's the way everyone started at arm wrestling But once you get into the sport of arm wrestling, there's a lot more pulling involved So it's more like a tug of war our hands got starting to sit on the table If you think about it, if you pull me closer to you, I'm losing leverage. You got more leverage So that's the first thing you want to do. You want to try to get me to your side of the table So I'm gonna let you do your normal thing. I'm gonna ease you down So don't quit. I'm gonna ease you down and I'll show you. I'll show you what you need to be doing Okay, all right ready go So you're going good sideways. Everything is good. So I want a little bit more back pressure this way Yep Ready go God So what I'm doing is to keeping you safe now. Yeah because of weight you're new to arm wrestling It only if your hand goes past your shoulder you look away It only takes like 14 pounds of pressure with that little ball to break the humerus, right? Um, you don't see a lot, but you'll see these videos on youtube how somebody breaks an arm Oh, it's his elbow. No, it's normally two inches right above the elbow So that's from all that torque. So what I'm doing is pulling you out to keep you safe One more time get a nice and tight and try to go all the way for the pin ready go That's good. You're picking it up pick it up Staying on okay. Well, that's good. All right. So like once I get off. Yeah, it's an elbow foul, but we're not calling it All right, ready go See that's much better. I mean you've already picked this up pretty good So just going back all your buddies arm wrestling just like that. Maybe you too should arm wrestle real quick You want to try your go for it? Yeah, I'm down. I'll be the camera guy. I'll be the camera guy ready go Breathe face your hand always look at your hand always look hand drag back no as hard as you can Uh-oh. Oh, I think Cody might have your hand man You're all working it now. Don't mess up those bass fishing arms. You still gotta throw out that rod Oh, oh, he's talking Noah's talking You've seen it here Kicking their bass is more than just bass fishing We got the arm wrestling championship of savannah right here Winner God good times guys.
