Welcome to Meat Eater Trivia, the only game show where conservation always wins. I'm your host, Spencer Newharth, and today we're joined by Giannis Poutelis, Brody Henderson, Seth Morris, Chester Floyd, Hayden Samick, Marge Smith, and Max Barta. This is a 10-round quiz show with questions from Meat Eaters 4 Verticals, which are hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking.

And there is a prize. Meat Eaters will donate $500 to the conservation organization of the winner's choosing. Now, this week, we have a bit of a twist. Because I'm so damn excited about Seth and Chester's new show, Montana Walleye Tour, every question this game is tied to fishing. And we have a lot of very fishy folks in the room. How do you guys feel about an entire game that's dedicated to fishing trivia? I think you could have given me a heads up.

And what would have changed if I gave you a heads up, Yanni? Oh, I don't know. I'm just watching YouTube videos about fishing. Yannis used to do a lot more fishing than he does now. Yeah, I'm going to have to dig deep into the archives. We have three fishermen, like full-time fishermen in here. Being who? Seth, Chester, Brody.

What do you mean like full-time fishermen? I would say he's like more of a big game guy. Bro, I used to host a fishing podcast. When was the last time you fished? I took people out ice fishing Sunday. Oh, okay. I feel like Hayden's going to be a threat now. Stuff it, Max.

I'll shut up. Giannis, don't you have some fishing bona fides? No? What does that mean exactly? Street cred. Like cred, yeah. Oh, well, I mean... A resume, a fishing resume. I guided trout fishing with a fly rod for a decade.

Max, does that count? When was the last time you fished? I don't think, I haven't fished through the ice yet this year. And honestly, I don't know if I strung up a rod all last summer. Spring break? Yeah, that's right. When we were in miles, You have to edit that out. Over spring break, we were somewhere in Montana.

We did some fishing. Max just trying to set us up for a letdown. Too many fishy folks in the room. Now, Seth and Chester, tell us a bit about the show, which had the first episode drop on YouTube yesterday. Kick it off, Seth. So it's a Montana walleye tour where Chester and I travel across the great state of Montana to

three different tournaments. It's four episodes, but we hit three different walleye tournaments and compete. And there's a pretty exciting moment, so I recommend tuning in. What's the extra episode then that we see? Well, the first episode is Chet and I driving to Minnesota to pick up our tournament boat at Alumacraft. And then we rig it with all the electronics, trolling motor, that kind of stuff. And then from there, we head to Fort Peck where we spend two days of pre-fishing. And it's a totally smooth process, right?

Like everything you guys envision happening with the boat happens, no issues along the way in episode one? Yes, exactly. Okay, great. Not really, though. Did you guys, on the long drive back from Minnesota, did you guys get in an argument about who's the captain of the boat? I said, yeah, I said, I am the captain now.

No, it was a blast. Like, we had a lot of fun. It's challenging to, you know, produce a show when you're in these tournaments. But, yeah, it's basically like what you guys are going to see is like two goofballs just figuring it out along the way. This is our first, you know know tournaments we ever fished yeah it was it was it was great and you guys do well you don't go out there and get shellacked every time the last one competing at the top of the leaderboard every time right not every time no our first two tournaments were were pretty good in my opinion our last one we we got our asses

handed to us. Okay. Still good programming. I don't like watching a sporting event if I already know the outcome. This is different, though. I'm very excited to see the Montana Walleye Tour. Now, Max and Marge, you guys spent a lot of time making this come together behind the scenes. What were some of your favorite moments from the show? Do you want to go first?

Well, I would say I had less of a hand, to be honest. I really did the graphical elements and worked on the wonderful, fun intro that y'all will be treated to getting to see. Which is always great. Marge did all the graphics for Pardon My Plate, and she killed it every time. So I'm looking forward to seeing it. Yeah, Marge crushes the graphic. Montana Walleye Tour. Well, thank you, guys. I appreciate that.

I think my favorite, though, was from Fresno when the rod gets sucked out of the back of the boat that's fresno right yep so i won't say anything more to that but stay tuned for a missing rod in action yeah and then i think i had a big portion of it because i was actually on a couple of the fishing trips too as well and uh filming and uh driving the chase boat um so yeah i think i went on the maiden voyage at can ferry with you guys yep um fort peck and then tiber yep and which you were like it was very nice to have you max yeah it was a lot of fun it was probably one of my favorite things i did this last time it was just like hanging out with these two and driving around a boat and with the camera in my hand so uh but I think my favorite trip was the Fort Peck just the wind the waves and big fish it's great episode one on YouTube right now now

in honor of this fishy episode of trivia our stat of the week this week is looking at player performance in the fishing category. The person who is best at fishing questions is Ryan Callahan. He gets 59% of fishing questions right. That's closely followed by Steve Rinella at 58%, Brody Henderson at 57%, and Giannis Putellis at 52%. They are our only competitors who get over half of their fishing questions correct. Those are bona fides, Giannis. See, we don't have an advantage. I might not even get a single one of these. I need a little t-shirt.

Yeah. Cal even poked his head in the room, said he got too many trivia players and and then ducked out, despite him having the best score when it comes to getting fishing questions correct. I feel like I was a little too intimidating when he popped in the door. I should have let him get into his seat and then started applying the pressure. Had he known this, he'd be feeling pretty good about being here right now. Yeah. But instead, we have Brody Henderson at 57% and Giannis Putellis at 52%. Now, I'm way more nervous when Steve's not here and it's me and Giannis.

Okay. Yeah. Giannis is the guy that scares me. Sure. We have some housekeeping to get to. In a previous game of trivia, we had a question about the Yiddish term for duck fat. The correct answer was schmaltz, but Janice said schmutz. Now, Janice didn't get that right, but Shlomo Franklin wrote

in to say that Janice deserves some credit because schmutz is actually a Yiddish term that means dirt. In the same episode, we also had Steve trying to remember the Yiddish term for sex, which Shlomo wanted to let us know is stupin. So there you go. Schmaltz is duck fat, schmutz is dirt, and stupin is sex. Sounds like a fun language.

A lot of schmutz and schlappin and schleppin all day. And that's via Shlomo. Yeah, I was going to say his name kind of fits in with that. Dude, I love that name. That was a great name. Say those four words fast, four times fast. Yeah, that's me top.

Schmutz, I already messed it up. Also in a previous game of trivia, when trying to describe what a pangolin looks like, I told Phil it resembles a Pokemon. Well, a few listeners wrote in to say that Pokemon number 27, Sandshrew, is actually based on a pangolin. The appearance is so similar that in 2017, the Singapore Zoo rescued a six-week-old pangolin, which they named Sandshrew. So Phil, for the second time in Meat Eater Trivia history, I'm coming to you for some Pokemon wisdom. What can you tell us about Sandshrew?

Oh man, well Sandshrew is one of the OGs, part of the first original 150. Oh my god. It evolves into a sand slash, and it's got like a bunch of needles on its back and these big sharp claws. I don't think real pangolins do that though, when they evolve at level 22.

For a ground Pokemon, I was more of a Diglett guy. Okay. You guys Diglett guys around here? I was a Cubone. Yeah, Trio? Definitely a Diglett guy. You guys Diglett guys around here? I was a Cubone. Definitely a Diglett guy. What is going on? You said 150 Pokemon. Weren't there 151?

Well, if you include Mew, Spencer, but some people don't. He was kind of out. Can we move on from this? Brody, you're stuck in a room with a lot of folks that grew up in the 90s. It's just naturally... It has nothing to do with growing up in the 90s. I grew up in the 90s and this is a different language. This is a different language to me.

Isn't the main one called Pokemon? No, it's Pikachu. Oh, that's it. Yeah, he's kind of a mascot. I don't know. Seth, that was such a good take, you'd almost think it was satirical. So I appreciate you having that. Now the Shelby Index for this game of trivia is a three, but I'm expecting our winner to get

about eight correct answers because my wife hasn't caught a fish since 2016. With that, we're on to the game of trivia. Play the drop, Phil. Look, I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. How's that? You stand to win. Everything. How's that?

You stand to win everything. Game on, suckers! Question one. The topic is cooking. Which of these raw foods has the most calories? Is it octopus, scallops, lobster, or swordfish? Which of these raw foods has the most calories? Octopus, scallops, lobster, or swordfish?

Quick answer from Max. Rest of the room, not so much. Giannis, you think you got this one? Again. It's an educated guess, Spencer. Okay. Now, if I was wording this question, I would say calories per ounce. It's per three-ounce serving.

All right. There you go. Because a swordfish would damn sure have more calories than a scallop. That's right. This is per a three ounce serving. Did you eliminate a few, Yanni? You know it's like not these two. Or no?

No. Because I feel like it could be a real tricky answer, you know? Maybe because one of them lives in some certain environment. It has to be super, super densely packed with calories. Octopus, scallops, lobster, swordfish. Does everybody have an answer?

Brody? I'm changing mine. Okay. What changed your mind? I think a lot of us changed. No good reason. We're all changing, man. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

Good wisdom, Hayden. Hayden sang swordfish. Seth sang scallops. Brody sang Hayden. Hayden sang swordfish. Seth sang scallops. Brody sang scallops. Marge sang lobster. Max sang swordfish. Chester sang lobster. Giannis sang scallops.

The correct answer is swordfish. I think Hayden was the only one who got Hayden and Max. Got it right. Because it is fat. That's what I had. These numbers are via the U.S. Department of Agriculture and are based on a three ounce serving. Swordfish has 122

calories. Octopus has 82 calories. Lobster has 65 calories. And scallops have 59 calories. The FDA recommends eating about 10 ounces of fish or shellfish per week. Seth, I've been getting that tingling in my hands.

Starting to think about mercury poisoning. Yeah, it's a real thing. Did you see the statistic where it's kind of convoluted, but a report recently came out that eating a serving of freshwater fish from a lot of bodies of water is the equivalent, like in PFAs, those are like the forever chemicals of drinking dirty water for a month. Yeah. Question two. I don't want to know that.

Yeah. Well, you know, it's my responsibility to educate everybody. The topic is conservation. AmericanRivers.org declared this the most endangered river in America, which starts in the Rocky Mountains and ends at the Gulf of California. AmericanRivers.org declared this the most endangered river in America, which starts in the Rocky Mountains and ends at the Gulf of California. They do that every year. So, like, was it a certain year?

It's 2022. All right. There you go. 2022 is when they made this list, and this river was number one. Damn it. Brody's got this one. I can tell you that, Spencer. Do you have this one?

It's a great organization. I'm pretty sure. American Rivers. AmericanRivers.org. Seth, back of your board says, suck it, Seth. Great. Giannis and Brody got this one. Chester, you got this one?

No. Okay. I know fish live in rivers, Spencer, but it could have been a little bit more fishing. If you're looking for a lot of walleye questions, you're not going to love this round. But you should still go watch Montana Walleye Tour. Hayden, how are we doing? Not so good, man.

Okay. Does everybody else have an answer? I just tried to think of a river that flowed west. There you go. That's good thinking. That's just education. Good thinking. You have an answer.

Oh, wait. Hold on. Come on now. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. What's your problem, Brody? You don't like the changing? The time? Max is a little much.

That's what he does. Everyone else has an answer. Okay. Hayden's over there dicking. Brody loves to take his time when he doesn't know the answer. That's my favorite thing Alright show them Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers

We have Hayden saying snake Seth saying Colorado Brody saying Colorado Marge saying Sacramento Max saying Columbia Chester saying salmon Giannis saying Colorado Gianni got it the correct answer Colorado. As well as Brody and

Seth. I liked your guess. The Colorado River flows through seven states and two countries and is the sixth longest river in America. AmericanRivers.org says its greatest threat is climate change and outdated water management. They estimate that unless we take action, the river's flow will be reduced by another 10 to 30% by the year 2050. Question three. The topic is biology. This next great question comes to us via John Silbeck. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia,

you can send it to trivia at TheMeatEater.com. Loda Loda is the scientific name for North America's only freshwater cod. What is it? Loda Loda is the scientific name for North America's only freshwater cod. What is it? Hayden with the quickest answer in the room. Other folks coming up with them now, except for Yanni. Yanni's got a blank

board. Oh, I know it. My little homunculus is not telling me. Loda Loda is the scientific name from North America's only freshwater cod. What is it? Hayden's confidence actually made this answer easy.

I hope to fish with these one day. Spencer? What's up, Max? I think you Cod do better next time. What's that? I think you Cod do better next time. Too much side chat going on. Does everybody have an answer?

No, I don't. I don't. Is this even a Cod? Fresh water Cod. Does everybody have an answer? No, I don't. I don't. I don't. Is this even a cod? Fresh water cod. Loda, Loda. Loda, Loda. L-O-T-A. Come to me.

Come to me, Loda, Loda. Just right through my forehead, down into the back of my head. I like scientific names that go back-to-back same word. Is bison bison one of them? Is that right? I think so. Metamitis metaphytis. I think it's bison.

Is that skunk? Americanus. That's right. No? I think it is bison bison. I thought bison bison. Is it? Yeah.

I feel like I know this, and I just can't think of it. Who knows? Looking for Loda. Let's turn him over. Hold on, Loda. Hold on. We got folks coming up with answers. All right.

Does everybody have an answer? I have an answer. It's not right, though. Hold on, Brody. Hold on. We got folks coming up with answers. All right. Does everybody have an answer? I have an answer. It's not right, though. Go ahead and reveal it. Shit. Hayden, Seth, and Brody saying Burbit. I've got an answer.

Max erasing his answer before I could even look. I'm embarrassed. Chester and Giannis saying Burbit. They got it. The correct answer is Burbit. What did you put, Max? Bluegill? No, I put Flounder. I got that without the little cod information.

Would you have accepted Eel Pout? Yeah, that's what Giannis did. Okay. Other names for Burbitt include Freshwater Ling, Lawyer Fish, and Eel Pout. Indiana just had their Burbitt state record broken twice in the span of two weeks. Prior to that, the record had stood for 32 years. All three of those fish came from Lake Michigan, with the most recent record weighing 11.4 pounds.

Side note, the Canadian angle where Jay fishes for burbot has some amazing underwater burbot footage. Are they spawning? Like, are they right up on tight on the ice? It's kind of post-spawn, but they're just, there's a lot of them. Are they balled up and stuff? Yeah.

That's so cool. Just check it out. It's sweet. Broadcast spawning, man. My girlfriends get me so mad at me. Their family, she comes from a fishy family. They're all burbot. And that's her nickname is ill powed owl

oh no that is disappointing I don't know if I would have admitted that question number four we'll have to tell this story at the wedding the topic is fish camp this is an audio question I'm going to play one minute

of a famous fishing song you need to tell me the artist. Play the song, Phil. We're going to name the band. We need you to name the band or the artist. You didn't even have to play the song. I knew it.

Max is going to be on the board here. So is Seth and Chester. I think so. I think. Stop. Go ahead, sing, Chester. Get in there. Jump in a river and cool ourselves in the heat of the night.

Baby, get ready. Who's a better singer? Hold on. Everybody needs to stop, because I'm trying to figure out musically who this might be. I'm not fishing. Side note. Senior prom

like walkout. What year? 2011. Okay. This is what you played. Yeah. I like it. The girls hated it. You didn't say. They thought it was pretty fishy.

Again, you need to name the artist of this song. Well, Chester is not the answer. You saying artist makes me think of this song. You cannot put Chester as your answer. That won't be right. Don't put me. I'm not going to put him. Oh, gosh.

I know when my answer is wrong. Yeah, I'm just putting like a vaguely country-ish person. Does everybody have an answer? I'm just guessing. I know it wasn't Johnny Cash. Yeah. Brody, are you going to get this one? No.

Okay, you going to come up with an answer? No. Does everybody have an answer that's going to come up with one? Yeah. Pick a country singer, Brody. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We've got Hayden saying Kenny Rogers. Seth saying Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Brody without an answer. Probably Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Marge saying Zac Brown Band. Max and Chester saying Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Brody without an answer. Probably Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Marge sang Zac Brown Band. Max and Chester sang Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Giannis sang, what did that say? Lyle Lovett. Lyle Lovett. I love Lyle Lovett.

The correct answer is Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Do they have any other hits other than that? Is they the one hit wonder? I think their other biggest hit was just a cover of Mr. Bojangles, which wasn't even their song. So they're one hit wonder. I think you could call them that. That was a hit was just a cover of Mr. Bojangles, which wasn't even their song. So their one hit wonder. I think you could call them that. That was a hit?

That's a great hit. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released that song on their 1987 album, Hold On. It hit number one on the charts in the United States and Canada, becoming the band's best-selling single of all time. The song has since been covered by artists like John Party, Garth Brooks, and Meat Eater Trivia's number one fan, Luke Bryan. Question five. That's a joke. So we need to know a 35-year-old

song that mentions fishing once. Exactly. Well, that's what anytime he has a thing that's like deer camp or fish camp, it's something like tangentially related. Oh, you've caught on. Oh, or fish camp, it's something tangentially related. Oh, you've caught on. I think there's something to be said about being a well-rounded individual. You can really bring a lot to the table here at Meat Eater Trivia. Apparently.

Question five. The topic is gear. This next great question comes to us via Christian Thompson. If you have a question you think is right for Meat Eater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. This nymph pattern, which was created in Wisconsin, shares its name with an alcoholic drink that has ice cream in it. What is it? This nymph pattern, which was created in Wisconsin, shares its name with an alcoholic drink that has ice cream in it. What is it?

Chester, why do you know this one? Because you're from Wisconsin. That's the answer. I still don't. I don't have. I'm not 100% on my answer, but it's the best I got. Okay. This nymph pattern, which was created in Wisconsin, shares its name with an alcoholic

drink that has ice cream in it. You should know this. Why would I know? Because you're a fly fisher. And she's from Minnesota. Ice cream. Minnesotans love alcohol, ice cream,

fishing, all of it. I don't know if I've ever had an alcoholic drink with ice cream. You know it, Brody? I don't know. I don't know if I've ever had an alcoholic drink with ice cream. You know it, Brody? I don't think I know it. Apparently 20 years of fly fishing didn't really pay off for this. This nymph pattern, which was created in Wisconsin, shares its name with an alcoholic drink that has ice cream in it. I think Chester is the only one with an answer right now.

I don't even know a drink that has ice cream. Yeah, I'm like doing a chicken or the egg thing. I don't know whether to like go through nymphs categorically or go through alcoholic drinks categorically. I think I can think of the one list that would be shorter than the other. Well, I don't know. Giannis, how are you feeling about this? I got a good guess. Okay, one of the few folks

that's come up with an answer besides Chester. I think I invented a new nymph. Oh, okay. Not a new alcoholic cocktail? No, the Meteor Trivia Nymph. I know two flies with alcoholic drink names on them.

If I give you both of those. No, no, no, no. Does everybody have an answer? Yeah, come on. This seems like it would have been a bent podcast topic. It would have been. Seth's changing his answer. I just don't have one.

Okay. Hold on. I don't have one. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying, what's that say, Hayden? Mickey Finn. Mickey Finn. Seth without an answer.

Brody saying, mudslide. Marge saying, root beer float. I like that. Max saying, $3 dip. Chester saying, pink squirrel. Giannis saying, mudslide. Ooh, mudslide. Chester got it. It's the pink squirrel. Nice work, Chester sang Pink Squirrel. Giannis sang Mudslide. Chester got it.

It's the Pink Squirrel. Nice work, Chester. Nice job. The ingredients for a Pink Squirrel cocktail are creme de cacao, creme de noyau, and ice cream. The ingredients for a Pink Squirrel nymph are a brass bead, strands of pearl crystal flash, red wire, squirrel dubbing, and pink dubbing. It's considered the most popular fly pattern in the driftless area. Very cool. Yeah, that's the only reason I put that answer down

was I fished in the driftless area a lot. You'd go into a fly shop. You'd be like, you know, what's some good stuff you guys have that's been working they'd all be like oh you got to get some pink squirrels you know now do our two former fishing guides have you ever used or heard of it i've heard now i've heard of it okay my but what chester didn't know back then is they just had a shitload of those in inventory and they're like yeah so we can get rid of them right yeah but i would say that just a simple like they're like, use these so we can get rid of them. Right, yeah. But I would say that just a simple, like,

they're similar to, like, a beaded hair's ear. I would say a hair's ear with some, you know, ribbing on it works just as well. Is it like a scud pattern? No. It's just a general searching pattern. Yeah, kind of like more of a caddis type thing, but it's got that pink on it, so it's pretty visible. I just like using a pink squirmy wormy.

Phil, we are halfway through our game of trivia. Give us a scoreboard update. All right, we've got Maggie with zero points. Max and Giannis and Hayden, oh, wow, and Brody all have two points apiece and tied for first place with three points are Chester and Seth. Very appropriate. Not a single question about Wawa. Did you guys know that this was going to be a fishing episode?

Yeah, but that's why. They have the inside track. You guys have been watching YouTube on fishing on YouTube for the last three days. Chester's softball Wisconsin fly pack. I've been watching fishing on YouTube for the last three days. Manchester Softball, Wisconsin Flypatch. I've been watching fishing on YouTube for the last three years. I didn't think I was going to have to get a nitty gritty dirt band question. Yeah, they've been pounding pink squirrels,

listening to the nitty gritty dirt band. Chet and I hung out last night and drank pink squirrels. Talked about pink squirrels. Endangered rivers and whatnot. It surprised me, man. Hey, folks. Exciting news for those who live or hunt in Canada. And boy, my goodness, we hear from the Canadians whenever we do a raffle or a sweepstakes.

Question six. The topic is cooking. What type of meat is in a California sushi roll? What type of meat is in a California sushi roll? Hayden with the quickest answer and Marge and Chester. Now I'm second guessing myself. Giannis and Brody are two best folks in the fishing category are behind in the game and have yet to come

up with an answer. That's because none of these questions have anything to do with fishing. What type of meat is in a California sushi roll? A lot of thinking. This is Brody's favorite game of trivia when everyone's just quiet. Oh, I love it.

No banter. Just cut the tension with a knife. Does everybody have an answer? I got two answers. I just scratched one out. Everybody, you ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying, what's it say?

Imitation, but sometimes real. Crab. Crab. Seth saying shrimp. Brody saying salmon. Marge saying imitation crab. Max saying tuna. Chester saying crab.

Giannis saying pollock. The correct answer is crab or imitation crab or pollock. The correct answer is crab or imitation crab or pollock. In a previous game of trivia, we learned that pollock is the most common fish used in imitation crab. Wow. Nice work. The California roll

is an inside-out sushi roll. I thought you were going to give it to imitation crab meat. When in a previous game, that was an answer that we had. The California roll is an inside-out sushi roll that's usually made of sushi rice, cucumber, avocado, and crab. It was invented in the 1960s by Ichiro Mishida in the Little Tokyo area of Los Angeles. It's now considered one of the most popular sushi rolls in America. Do you know he made that specifically to cater to Western tastes? Angeles. It's now considered one of the most popular sushi rolls in America. Do you know he made that specifically to cater to Western tastes?

Assume so. Yeah. Cause they leave out the seaweed most times. You use imitation crab meat, which Americans love. Brody, you seem disappointed over there. I'm very disappointed. Question seven. The topic is conservation. Pyrite, which is a mineral that drains from mines and turns waterways orange, is better known by this nickname. Again, the topic is conservation. Pyrite, which is a mineral that drains from mines and turns waterways orange, is better known by this nickname.

Come on, us PA boys better know this one. Oh, yeah. We grew up with this shit. A lot of quick answers in the room. Nothing from Giannis yet. I think Cheddar's going to win, man. I think so, too. We just talked about this, Seth.

Yeah. And do you not know it? We're not lying on this. Well, don't give him any hints. No, I don't think I can remember. I wrote down something else, but I think it might be something different now. This is the one time that studying for trivia has actually helped me. How did you study for this? What I did was I went online.

That's pathetic that you studied for this thing. I don't care what you think. I'm going to get this answer right. You might not. I got it. I hope you will. I looked up a bunch of outdoor trivia questions on the internet, and there was a list of like 500 of them. Okay.

I just read them. What would tell me the question? Pyrite, which is a mineral that drains from mines and turns waterways orange, is better known by this nickname. I really hope I'm right now. A lot of the room is confident. Giannis and Marge, not so much. I just wrote down what we always called it growing up, which hopefully is the answer.

Oh, you got it, Seth. You got it, Seth. Gianni, are you going to come up with anything? Uh-oh. Chester might lose the lead here. Is everybody ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Hayden and Brody saying Fool's Gold. Seth saying Acid Mine Drainage. Marge without an answer. Max saying Copper. Chester saying Fool's Gold. Giannis saying Orange Slush. The correct answer is Fool's Gold. Because it's too good.

Got it wrong. And then I erased it. You got it wrong? Yeah. When exposed to water and oxygen, pyrite can react to form sulfuric acid. This contaminates drinking water, disrupts reproduction of aquatic plants and animals, and corrodes infrastructure. Trout Unlimited has a mine reclamation program that tries to address this problem across the country. And when I was researching this topic, you guys are right.

It's all over in Pennsylvania as well as the Rocky Mountains. Yeah, I remember growing up swimming in Susquehanna River. You'd come out and my swim trunks would be red. Really? Yeah. But they've since done a lot of work to clean that up, and it's actually a good fishery now. Yeah, the same where Giannis and I used to guide. The Eagle River got hit real hard by that, and it's doing really well now.

Those cleanups work. They're expensive, though. Question eight. The topic is biology. This next great question comes to us via Annie McTurner. If you have a question you think is right for MeatEater Trivia, you can send it to trivia at themeateater.com. On a catfish, what is the name of the fin that's located between the dorsal fin and caudal fin? On a catfish, what is the name of the fin that's located between the dorsal fin and caudal fin?

A couple quick answers in the room. Chessier, our guy in the lead though, has yet to come up with anything. This is question eight. On a catfish, what is the name of the fin that's located between the dorsal fin and coddle fin? Seth, you got this one right. I'm going to be kicking myself, I think. I can't think of... I can picture it, I just don't know the name.

Can you, can you say that again? One more time. On a catfish, what is the name of the fin that's located between the dorsal fin and caudal fin? Not a very confident room. Brody, you think you're going to get this one? Maybe. I just don't know if they,

if Catfish have this type of thing or not. Yeah, I just, I know what you're thinking and I'm wondering that exact same thing. I'm also wondering like, oh, forget it. Does everybody have an answer? No, no, not yet. I'm gonna write the same thing

that I bet you Brody wrote down. Chester, you gonna keep the lead on this one or not? No, I don't have an answer and I'm not gonna probably come up with one. Is everybody ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying adipose. Seth saying adipose. Brody saying adipose.

Marge saying adipose. Max saying adipose. Marge saying adipose. Max saying adipose. I still don't know. Potties. Chester without an answer. Giannis saying backfin. The correct answer is adiposefin. And you guys were on the right track

because other fish with an adipose fin include salmon and trout. It got this name because biologists originally thought the fin had adipose fin include salmon and trout. It got this name because biologists originally thought the fin had adipose tissue in it, which is a type of fat. That has since been disproven, and now our best guess is that it acts as a flow sensor for fish to better maneuver turbulent waters. Cool.

You know they clip those things off of them. Yeah. Popular for hatchery fish. If I would have said trout, would have you gotten it right? Yes, 100%. And I thought that would have been too easy. The catfish threw me off. I kept thinking about like the, what is it, the anal fin there?

Where you can count the rays and distinguish like a blue cat from a white cat from a Chinese cat. That's what I was thinking. Phil, we have two questions left. Give us a scoreboard update. I think it just got interesting. Yeah, it did. Technically, everyone except for Maggie, sorry Maggie, is still in the game. We've got Max and Giannis with three points.

Seth and Brody with four. And Hayden and Chester with five. Hayden and Chester with five. Hayden and Chester. Oh, Chester, you could be running away with it right now. I don't know why. I should have just written that down. Anything. Question nine.

The topic is fishing. What is the deepest Great Lake? What is the deepest Great Lake? What is the deepest Great Lake? This room is full of folks who grew up in a Great Lake state. Max, where'd you grow up? North Dakota. Okay, not you. Everyone else.

Scottsdale? Everyone else grew up in a Great Lake state. What is the deepest Great Lake? Damn it. That's a tough one. Make a guess, Seth. Yeah. Do you know the Great Lakes, Seth?

You got a chance. I know at least one of them. You should have had his name all flat. Looking for the deepest one. I can only think of three. Hayden, how do you feel about this? Well, I'm doing that thing where I'm kind of trying to play into how much I think you're trying to trick us. But I think I got a one in five shot.

Chester? I'm kind of in the same boat as Hayden. Well, I think I got a I think I got a little better shot than one in five. Does everybody have an answer? Looking for the deepest Great Lake. One in three shot. Oh my god. Brody, I can't tell if you're frustrated at this game,

frustrated at this question, frustrated at yourself. Yeah, all of it. Mostly myself right now. Because I can actually only think of four of the five Great Lakes right now. Which is just... Do we get a bonus point if we can name them all? Nope, you won't. Get it wrong if you put more than one Great Lake.

Is everybody ready? I'm crossing it out. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden saying Superior. Seth saying superior. Brody saying hero. Superior is the one I couldn't remember. Mark saying superior.

Max and Chester and Giannis saying superior. They got it. The correct answer is Lake Superior. Talk to him, Brody. The deepest part of Lake Superior is about 40 miles north of Munising, Michigan, and is 1,333 feet deep. The deepest part of Lake Michigan is 925 feet. The deepest part of Lake Ontario is 804 feet. The deepest part of Lake Huron is 748 feet. And the deepest part of Lake Erie is 210 feet.

Phil, we have one question left. Give us a scoreboard update. It's down to three players. We have Seth with five points and tied for first place are Hayden Samick and Chester with six. Question 10. The topic is gear. And this is our OnX Listener Question of the Week, which was won by Stephen Tyler for sending this great question. Stephen is going to get a one-year premium subscription to OnX. If you want a chance to win our listener question of the week, then send it to trivia at themeateater.com.

This fishing magazine, which has a note on the cover that says $7, $14 for bait fishermen, is named after a large mayfly. What is it? Now, you could have done those questions the whole game. This fishing magazine. We're going to a tiebreaker. Which has a note on the cover that says $7, $14 for bait fishermen, is named after a large mayfly. I remember when that magazine

was cool. What is it? It's not cool anymore? I don't know. Might be. Chester, you think you got this one? 100%. Hayden, you got this one? Yeah, I do. Is everybody ready? Chester, am I right? Close. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Hayden and Seth. Brody, your I right? Close. Go ahead and reveal your answers.

We have Hayden and Seth. Brody, your answer's upside down. Hayden, Seth, Brody saying the Drake. Marge saying Salmonfly. Max saying Green Drake. Chester saying Drake. Giannis saying Drake. The correct answer is the Drake.

None of them have the. They don't get it right. Brody, you're the one, man. Except Max. Except Mike. We're not going to take Green Drake. None of them have the. They don't get it right. We're going to accept it. We're not going to take Green Drake. That sounds like a different magazine for waterfowlers. Tom Buck founded the magazine in Jackson Hole,

Wyoming in 1998. He said he created the publication because every magazine that covered fly fishing was catered to those who hired guides. His goal was to make a magazine for guides and those who already knew how to fish. Phil, we're going to a tiebreaker. Play the drop. Tiebreaker. You ain't first, you're last.

But that doesn't make any sense at all. You're first, you're last. You can be second, you can be third, fourth. Hell, you can even be fifth. Going to a tiebreaker, we have Chester and Hayden. The tiebreaking topic is fishing. Anybody want to put a little side bet on who's going to? Who's that? Yeah, Calcutta. That's a fishing thing.

According to a 2016 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, what percentage of hunters had also fished within the last year? According to a 2016 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, what percentage of hunters had also fished within the last year? Down to Chester and Hayden. This is making for an exciting fish finish. Do these boys got to go to a decimal point? Yes, go to a decimal point for your answer.

Thank you, Brody. It's always more fun when it's not one of the old heads like Giannis or Brody taking a victory. Is that right? It's not fun for us. I think so. Chester, how are you feeling about this?

You look like you're doing some math over there. Yep. Tell us about that math. Well, I don't know if I want to yet. Okay. All right. Keep it to yourself, Chester. I'm just guessing, bro.

Just guessing. Hang on. Just give me just a little bit. Okay. Everyone else can come up with an answer, but the only ones that matter are Chester and Hayden. Chester. Chester's going to go hunting. None of the rest of you people matter.

Chester. No, if I get it right, they'll know for the rest of the day that I got it. Max has something important to say. What, Max? You got some advice for him? Chester, let me know when you're ready. Okay. Thank you. I. Okay, thank you. I'm ready. Thank you.

Again, it's according to a 2016 survey, what percentage of hunters had also fished within the last year? You boys ready? Sure. Go ahead and reveal your answers. The rest of the room, we have Marge saying, what does that say, Marge? 90.2. 90.2.

Max saying 33.3. Giannis.2. Max saying 33.3. Giannis saying 75. Seth saying 64.7. Brody saying 79.3. And our two competitors left in the game. We have Hayden saying 68.5. And Chester saying 51. One of you is within half of a percentage point

of the correct answer. Amazing. The correct answer is 67%, making Hayden our winner. It wasn't a half percentage point. It was 1.5 percentage points. Hayden, that is damn near nailing it on the nose. Well done.

Thank you, everybody. What happens next is Hayden gets to choose where our $500 donation from Meat Eater goes. So what's it going to be? Maybe you got something fishy in mind over there? Keep it real. I would like to... The American Rivers? Yeah.

Okay. American Rivers. I'd like to donate to American Rivers. Can we talk? And what do you like about them, Hayden? That Brody told me to. Very susceptible to influence. Brody, what do you like about American Rivers?

They're a very good conservation org. They're watchdogs for pollution in rivers. They just do a bunch of great work. Every year they list the 10 most endangered rivers in the country. Yeah, and I was like, uh, like I've been thinking about donating to these guys, like at some point anyway. So. Yeah. I was going to do sheep week or a wild sheep foundation, but sheep week just happened. So I figured they probably have an influx of donations. I like Brody's suggestion. I also like conservation organizations that reach folks who aren't just endemic to what we do.

That's right. They're helping folks who use drinking water, who have to water their lawns, who recreate in these rivers. Good choice. American rivers.
