    Ep. 299: Press Record, Stay Sane: YouTube Tips & Nearly 300 Episodes of Chaos!
    2025/12/02


    We’re getting dangerously close to Episode 300, so this week we’re pulling the curtain back on the realities of being a fishing content creator. Thinking about hitting record on your first YouTube video? We’ve got tips to help you get started without overthinking, overspending, or over-complicating the whole damn thing.

    Then we’re getting a little reflective — almost 300 episodes deep and still swimming. We’re talking unexpected challenges, surprising wins, and what it actually takes to keep showing up week after week without turning into a burnt-out husk babbling about shaky heads and thermoclines in a dark room.

    It's honest, it’s helpful, it’s ridiculous — in other words: classic Jigs & Bigs.

    Ep. 298: Slow It Down or Freeze Up! Winter Grind Tactics & a Surprising Electronics Tax Loophole!
    2025/11/25

    This week we’re teaching you how to fish slower than a DMV line in February — without losing your mind — AND we’re exposing a wild fact about your electronics: they’re not paying into conservation like the rest of your gear. Yup… things are about to get interesting!

    Winter is here, and if you’re still fishing like it’s July, you’re doing it wrong. This week, the guys break down how to slow your presentations way, WAY down without going insane. We’re talking winter pacing, mental hacks, lure choices, and how to keep yourself from turning into a human popsicle out there.

    Then we get spicy: turns out your fish finder doesn’t pay into the conservation excise tax system like rods, reels, and tackle do. Yup — electronics skate right around that Pittman-Robertson/Dingell-Johnson share-the-love arrangement. We talk about why, what it means, whether it should change, and how it affects the resource we all depend on.

    Add in some laughs, rambling, questionable wisdom, and you’ve got yourself a textbook Jigs & Bigs episode.
