Ketchum, Idaho. After a day of flyfishing for cutthroat trout, Steven Rinella talks with Kenton Carruth and Ryan Callaghan from First Lite, along with Janis Putelis and Helen Cho from the MeatEater crew. Subjects discussed include: killer instincts; the suicide of Ernest Hemingway; catch-and-release vs. catch-and-eat; acquiring a strong sense of grrrrr; fish physiology; Danny Rinella's adipose nipple; an exotic Japanese way of dispatching fish; the conundrum of wanting to fish for threatened or endangered species; the mountain man Jim Bridger; and whether or not flyfishermen are total pansies.

Hemingway's Guns
by Roger Sanger, Silvio Calabi, and Steve Helsley
Rinella mentions 'This book just came out called Hemingway's Guns' and discusses how the authors did research to determine what shotgun Hemingway used to kill himself, discovering it was a W.C. Scott and Son shotgun, not a Boss shotgun as rumored.
