#183 – Poppin’ A Nutria

#182 – Rodney’s Holiday Special

The 5th annual Rodney Rogers Outdoors Christmas Camping trip is finally here. By far, our most exciting event of the year. It’s the perfect time to make new friends, spend quality time with old friends, and more than anything…spend some unadulterated time in the outdoors. Forgive us, in advance, because we are so excited that it about all we can think (and talk) about. So join in and listen to us ramble on about the upcoming event. Better yet, you should join us on the island in Kissimmee, FL. See our website for all the details.

It’s the first day of the 2017 duck hunting season on Lake Toho in Kissimmee, FL. Things were going really great!….until they weren’t. A series of rapid-fire events leaves Rodney’s Cottonmouth boat sitting on the bottom of Lake Toho and a boat of duck hunters floating in the gator-infested waters. Stay tuned…you’re gonna wanna hear this!

After a 2-week hiatus, we’ve got a lot to catch-up on tonight. Rodney’s been doing some duck season scouting and the reports are good…really good. We top off the episode with some really great viewer questions and a brand new hat for Rodney. (He loves hats, ya know)

It’s stone crab season! What a better way to  test run Rodney’s new Cottonmouth boat than cruising up the Banana River to put out some crab traps. What seems like a relaxing Saturday morning was not without it’s challenges.

Tonight we get Rodney’s initial review and comments after spending some time on the water with his new Cottonmouth Boat, including doing from froggin’ on Lake Toho. Join us as we talk cows in the lake and Croaker Linguine!

There is nothing that will breath new life into an outdoorsman as a brand new boat! Well folks, Rodney is that guy! As a proud owner of a brand new Cottonmouth boat, we are thrilled to have Terry Wilks from Cottonmouth Boats chat with via phone on tonight’s show. Hear the story of how Cottonmouth Boats got started and why they have now become the 1st choice of Rodney Rogers. 

Tonight we open up the microphones on a timely and organic conversation with Rodney & Mike. As Rodney’s “Outdoor” audience grows, he confronts challenges and opposition as a result of being a public figure and occupying space in the social media world. What are the steps to digest and process the harsh and critical comments that are a by-product of making yourself available and vulnerable online. To Rodney, it’s all about integrity, growth, and progress; so we explore finding a positive strategy and the key take-a-ways in the face of criticism and trolls.

Fresh off the first weekend of gator hunting, Rodney recaps his weekend with Steve Schulthies fulfilling his 2 allotted gator tags. 

Here comes the PRIZE PATROL!We’ve got a special “In-Studio” guest tonight. Hector Romero, or better known as Hollowpoint HP, joins us to answer some outdoor questions and give away some prizes for the “Earliest Outdoor Photo” contest. And the winner is?!!!

We've Got Lobster! Back in the studio, we hear the exciting details of Rodney’s 2-day Spiny Lobster mini season in the Florida Keys. Rodney brought us back lots of photos, videos, and great stories, but ironically, didn’t bring back any lobster for us to share… Hmph!

It’s time to grab your tickle stick!Florida is “buzzing” because the 2017 spiny lobster season opens TOMORROW with the two-day recreational sport season July 26 and 27, and if there is something exciting in the outdoors happening, you’ll probably find Rodney Rogers somewhere in the vicinity. Even though this Tuesday night finds Rodney in the Florida Keys with 9 toes already in the water, he still stays committed to his “live” broadcast schedule. So let’s catch up with Rodney “live” from the keys as he gives us a rundown of “mini lobster season” and shares his excitement of the next couple days.

Great questions tonight followed by great answers! Rodney gets straight to the point, including how to fish when you’ve got a “mucky bottom”. This episode of Rodney Rogers Outdoors is appropriately sponsored by Bob’s Butt Wipes. “Cleaning the World, One Wipe At A Time!”

We’ve got a big one on the line tonight and his name is Joe Wilson! We are 3 months away from the 2017 World Champion Squirrel Cook-Off and after talking with the founder and consummate spokesperson of the event, we couldn’t be more excited. Joe fills us in on some of the changes for this year’s event and brilliantly reminds us of the event’s core purpose. Mark your calendars for September 16th and get ready to laugh because it’s always a party when Joe’s in the house.Check out their website for more information on the WORLD CHAMPION SQUIRREL COOK-OFF. > www.squirrelcookoff.com

As an angler, you have accumulated your own collection of knowledge, tips, tricks, and advice. Whether you realize it or not, you are always adding to, what Rodney calls, your MENTAL TACKLE BOX. Each tackle box is different and incredibly personalized. Tonight we present the challenge of looking inside your own Mental Tackle Box and seeing if you have something that is helpful and unique that you would like to share.

Tonight, we catch up with Rodney on the heels of his return from the west coast. We’ve got some great questions, including how to rig a worm to catch bass. We also meet Tyler Wilson, a first-time caller from Oklahoma.

May begins the first step in the Florida gator hunting season. The alligator hunt permit application process start now. Tonight, we walk thru a basic overview of how the application process works. If you’re interested in harvesting a Florida gator, pay attention because it’s going to happen fast.

Boy, do we love our tech toys! Often they are very useful, sometimes they are just plain fun, and once in a while…a complete distraction and a waste of time. What tech tools are an indispensable part of your outdoor arsenal? Pull up a chair and join in, as we talk tech.

What is the biggest Bass you have ever caught? Dominic Montalto can now boast a 16Lb-12oz bass! What a hog! We were dying to get the scoop directly from Dominic so we were thrilled to have him call into the show and tell us more about landing this “bowling ball” Follow this link to read the article about Dominic on the FWC’s website:https://goo.gl/d8YorITo learn more about TrophyCatch Florida and follow Dominic’s race to the prize, click below:https://www.trophycatchflorida.com/
