Our first day in the studio: April 11, 2009. 

I’ll never forget it… 

As 6:02am approached, the time that we all had anticipated for literally weeks, I couldn’t help but reflect on the event as the culmination of a whole lot of work and an even bigger stroke of luck.

The work? Well, have you ever heard the line, “Do what you love and you’ll never go to work a day in your life”? Fishing, hunting and the outdoors has been my passion since I really don’t know when.

As a kid visiting the University of Washington, most would want to see Husky Stadium or the view of Mt Rainier over Drumheller Fountain and Frosh Pond.
Me? I went straight to the fish hatchery on South Campus and stayed there until they gave me a degree in fisheries.

The luck? How about having five years of outdoor radio experience when ESPN decides to light up a 50,000 watt blow torch known as 710 ESPN Seattle?

That’s luck. Very lucky would be having the opportunity to do the show with an old friend and a former Superbowl Seahawk who happens to be a friend of a friend.

This is the kind of stuff you can’t make up, it just happens and you get to experience it, be thankful and thrilled for the opportunity and, of course…
blog about it.

Tobeck, Endsley and I love doing The Outdoor Line and we’re going to let our hunting and fishing freak flag fly!

How?

How about:

  • The best on-air guests we can get our hooks into. 
  • Live reports from the top guides and outfitters for the best hunting and fishing info.
  • A “Listener Line” that is always open for your business.
  • Product give-aways every week.
  • Sponsored trips to real hot spots so we can go fishing and hang out with you!
  • An all-encompassing webpage that will become a region-wide outdoor news clearing house. 

We’re off to a great start but The Outdoor Line needs your involvement to be a success.

We need your calls on Saturday morning!
