This week, we destroy the lives of old people in the name of great smallmouth fishing, purchase tying thread off a guy that likely stole it in an armed robbery, debate whether fish would rather have Uncle Ben’s or Rice-A-Roni jammed in their body cavities, and tell you why you should just buy whatever fly rod you can afford.

Fishing can be slow. Podcasts about fishing shouldn’t be. That’s why we created Bent, the unapologetic fishing podcast that moves faster than a tournament bass boat but doesn’t take itself near as seriously. Host Joe Cermele welcomes anglers of all backgrounds and interests, from hardcore crappie jiggers to dry-fly purists to offshore tuna addicts. Even if you’re just mildly fish curious, this podcast has something for you: regional fishing reports, tackle tips, trash talk, etymology, weekly news, trivia, even suggestions on how to piss off your fishing guide. Come for the soggy cooler sandwiches; stay for the raccoon-eyes tan lines. Part of The MeatEater Podcast Network.
