Tom Rowland Podcast

This week on Physical Friday we are talking about creating games to make your workouts more interesting. We have used a deck of cards and dice to create awesome workouts but could we take inspiration from recent sporting events to create others? How about Golf or maybe March Madness? Yep… sure can! We go over one that my friend Rick Hart gave me that about recently that uses the concept of golf to create a workout. With The Masters being last weekend I figured this would be a good one to try out.  In the podcast we go over how to create this workout, how the scoring works, and how you could make 1000s more like this one with no equipment or with a full gym.  Next week we are going over how to create a fitness game out of a March Madness bracket, so be sure to subscribe to be notified when that comes out!

This week’s podcast is about all things tarpon. My guest is Dr. Mike Larkin and he goes over so much information on tarpon and there is a TON to learn. Mike is a fisheries biologist and has a ton of knowledge about why tarpon behave the way that they do. We go over the research he has done which includes tracking tarpon and how we can use that information to become better anglers. We learn why tarpon roll, where to look for them, their biological history, and much more. If you like what Mike had to say, be sure to subscribe to the podcast because we have multiple episodes with him coming soon!

Anthony Randazzo owns Paradise - Plus lodge in Venice LA. Today, he joins the podcast to show us some new uses for an old standby knot. The Palomar knot has always been considered one of the strongest ways to tie a hook or lure to the end of the line. But today, Anthony shows us how to tie it on a bare spinning reel spool. This is a really good trick because it eliminates the need to spool monofilament, then tie the braid on. When braid is tied to a bare spool it is so slick that anglers have seen the entire spool of line rotate around the bare spool without ever finding purchase. Tape, or rubber gaskets have been used to create that purchase or simply using 10-50 yards of mono also works. This trick eliminates all of that and allows for much quicker spooling.

People often talk about your physical diet, but I think your mental diet is just as important, meaning what you take into your brain on a daily basis. This can be things like the news, social media, books you read, etc. A few years ago I decided to change up what I was taking in every day, and to try and only make it positive things. I completely stopped following the news, and I try and only follow positive accounts on social media. Do you think that a mental diet would be good for you? Try it for a week and see how you feel. If you want some positive food for your brain, check out our book club. It is full of great books.

All saltwater anglers know that nothing is more damaging that the corrosive effects of salt.  Zach McAllister of Salts Gone joins us today to help us understand why salt destroys boating products in the way that it does. There are many products that can kill Salt but sometimes it can be even more damaging than simply leaving the salt on. Zach explains how his product works and why his product is the best way to defend against it.

So many of us do so well when we are at home and on a regular schedule.  Throw in some meetings or kids athletic events or TRAVEL and it is easy to miss a workout.  That miss can turn into 2,3,4 days.  The next thing you know it has been over a week since you worked out and the old habits return.  I do the best by never missing a day.  This doesn’t mean that I always have time for a 2 hour workout.  NO WAY!  However, I try to always get SOMETHING in…even if it is only a 10 minute workout. This week on Physical Friday I go over 6 workouts that you can do in 10 minutes or less. These workouts won’t get you in incredible shape, but they are good to do when you are traveling, or if you have that occasional day where you don’t have time to get a full workout in. These are not meant as everyday workouts, but just as a filler when you need it to maintain fitness and to STAY ON TRACK!  Do you have any workouts to add to this list?

This week we will honor the life and legacy of Capt. Joe Gonzalez who recently passed away by replaying the 2 podcasts that I was fortunate enough to do with him.  Today we will replay the full length interview with Joe recorded from his home in Little Havana surrounded by his family. Joe’s enthusiasm was infectious and his knowledge broad and specific. I was so happy to have him on the podcast because he was on the original short list of legendary fishermen that I wanted to sit down with. Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors. In the inshore fishing business, Capt. Joe Gonzalez is one of those people. Despite working 150 miles away from one another, I heard Joe's name and stories on the regular. His reputation preceded him as a professional who might actually have some Bonefish DNA mixed in with his.  Many have said that Joe knows all the bonefish in Biscayne Bay. This may be true

This week we will honor the life and legacy of Capt. Joe Gonzalez who recently passed away by replaying the 2 podcasts that I was fortunate enough to do with him.  Today we will go over Joe’s preferred bonefish rig.   This episode was recorded in Joe’s home in Little Havana on December 19, 2019 where he and his family kindly invited me in.   The sportfishing industry, Biscayne Bay, the clients, friends and family of Joe Gonzalez lost a great one recently. Thank you for the influence you had over so many of us, Joe. You were one of a kind. Im thankful to have known you and I wish the very best for your family.
