Shoutout to Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) for putting on one of the best receptions at the entirety of SHOT Show by NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association last week in Las Vegas.

If you missed out, or are an outdoor podcast who hasn’t joined POMA yet, take a minute to pop over and join both as a media member ASAP- then make time to go to POMA’s meeting this summer!

Leaving Vegas. Obligatory ‘post SHOT Show thoughts’ from our team. Was great to see old friends from the industry (and good to see you guys doing well!) and to be welcomed to a show that admittedly we have not been to like a hometown hero. It’s the 5th largest business conference on Earth, and the NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association did a tremendous job on it.

It was also REALLY cool to get the insane recognition we got as the hook and bullet space’s podcasting expert. The Trout Stream team cannot begin to thank all the people who did stuff like:
1. Bringing us into their own pitches with sponsors as a third party validator/strategist to help close deals.
2. Trusted is with the management of an increasing share of their precious marketing budgets to deploy to the exploding audiences we have under management.
3. Trusted us with the management (and monetization!) of their own integrated content ecosystem.
4. Introduced us with glowing recommendations of our expertise to potential clients and partners.

Trout Stream Studios is now officially a ‘player’ in the sports podcasting space and it feels damned good to have worked so hard tending a tree for it to bear so much fruit.

As you all know, we’re going to continue to work our asses off for you and with the same core values - solid advice and strategy and absolutely no BS, nickel-and-diming or short-sightedness - as we’ve built this company on.

And obligatory pic of our founder working hard during and post-recording with Governor Greg Gianforte Greg Gianforte for the Sportsmen’s Voice Podcast by Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. Check that episode out come February!

After tons of encouragement and finally the time to do it, I have decided to pursue a passion project podcast called The History of Fishing (working title).

Some inaugural stuff is already planned/in various stages of recording/editing/development. But for any of my fellow fishing nerd friends, I’m taking suggestions for a couple things:

1. Topics of fishing history around the world that would be interesting to explore.
2. Suggestions for historians, authors or other scholars with fishing credentials.
3. Suggestions for countries of focus

And for anyone who wants to follow along, be notified of launch/new eps, etc please signup here:

#525: Drew And Tyler || Louisiana Whitetail Record FALLS
🔊: 1 hour

Robbie was sitting down about to have a banquet at the Hunters Ball in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe when he received a text message. Now that is a feat unto itself, since Zimbabwe does not have a cell carrier that is compatible with Verizon, but somehow Robbie had connected to WiFi and got this text message. All it said was - “Louisiana State Record Whitetail has been broken.” The pictures on his phone halfway around the world made his mouth drop. As Tyler Jordan says in this podcast, “probably the biggest typical whitetail that is likely going to be seen.” Well, of course we had to podcast about it. It’s not often that you get to record right after a history-making buck hits the ground, but that’s exactly what we did. Robbie catches up with Drew and Tyler out of the Bayou State about their incredible achievement harvesting the new state record whitetail of Louisiana, a record that has stood since 1939. Hear their incredible story, the heart of the hunt behind it, and the incredible conservation work that goes into producing state record animals for us to enjoy.

A very merry Christmas from the Trout Stream Studios family to you! And THIS is why we do what we do.

Delia’s first gun! A 20 gauge pump action that we had dipped and engraved for the occasion. Make no mistake, she’s worked hard for this, suffering through the wind and the rain and the occasional boredom for two seasons to get out afield with her dad. Learning to shoot, how to hold a gun, how to clean a gun, until we were comfortable getting her her own.

We thought she didn’t like it at first until she saw the engraving, then we got the lit up face we were waiting for lol. Sadly, didn’t get that on video, but she carted it around the house showing everyone the engraving lol. Thank you O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. for such a fine youth gun and to Alaska Hydrographics for the dip/engraving, and she also got her first box of Remington1816 ammunition to shoot some clays with to get some practice in. *****on *****onammunition *****onammo

Two Trout Stream Studio clients, one great conversation!

#521: Benji Backer || A Conservative Environmentalist?
🔊: 52 minutes

Benji backer, author of ‘The Conservative Environmentalist’ and founder of the American Conservation Coalition, joins Robbie to talk about his middle ground political approach to environmentalism - a mantra Blood Origins itself is deeply familiar with. Benji and Robbie have been trying to connect on a podcast for some time, first through Blood Origins’ podcast producer Cody McLaughlin and then a second time through a common connection of Toby Lavigne. The two discuss Benji’s bird hunting hobby, his big game ambitions, growing up with vegans, what it means to be a conservative environmentalist, and much more. It’s a strong narrative discussion between two individuals that passionately believe in a middle ground to pushing a narrative of sustainability forward.
