Shawn Ryan Show writes “Our next guest Brandon Fugal is the owner and proprietor of Skinwalker Ranch. Initially, Brandon’s intention was to dispel the rumors and mystique surrounding Skinwalker Ranch.
However, a meeting with an Area 51 specialist on the property led to a series of unexplained and peculiar phenomena. This encounter profoundly impacted him and fueled his determination to pursue the truths concealed within the ranch.
During this episode, we learn about Brandon’s upbringing, explore how he built a prosperous career in commercial real estate, and delve into his acquisition of the infamous Skinwalker Ranch from Aerospace billionaire, Robert Bigelow.
Brandon has allocated millions of dollars to support research endeavors at the ranch, unraveling anomalies along the way. True to his character, he has never personally profited from these exploits, opting instead to reinvest proceeds into the project and charitable causes.”

This was pretty good. Skinwalker ranch is definitely interesting. The episode where the rocket allegedly hit something was strange… Sometimes is causes me to ponder it in more depth and make comments for people to explore techniques within a frequency or scale found within art and originally noticed within the symmetry of life forms or shapes found within nature, it’s called the “golden ratio or golden mean rule”… (it’s either collective consciousness or people are actually listening to me, I see videos on that now.) Then there’s other times my redneck ingenuity kicks in and I’m like “get some biodegradable non-toxic paint, do a fly over, drop the paint and expose that sucker!”
.
So on a possible different note but still amazing…
I personally noticed something interesting the past couple mornings. I’ve heard there’s been some research done with water and how it reacts to human emotion or has memory so it got me thinking…
I’ve been doing some fishing in Lake Superior with a friend of mine in his boat the last 2 days. Before I actually start fishing my routine is that I usually offer a little tobacco into the water and say a silent prayer of thanks and appreciation for the day, which just seems to lift my mood or those around me.
The last 2 times out I added in a bonus thank you and gave direct appreciation for the water itself and everything it does to support life. Call it coincidence or whatever, but there were 5 boats around us with an average of 2-3 people in each boat plus my buddy fishing 3 feet from me using a similar lure.
From my tally I observed visually 12-15 other fishermen that hauled in roughly 8 fish since yesterday, I personally caught 24 since yesterday! People were actually getting irritated from hearing the drag of my reel whining and my friend threatened never to take me again
I’ve already shared some of those fish and I have a big batch in the smoker as I write this to be shared with many more friends and family.
I’m convinced that if you are a genuine person or try to consciously be one, acknowledge God with full trust and faith, be thankful and appreciate as much as you can, good things can validate and surprise you.
The same can be likely said for selfish thoughts and surprises of the unsavory variety.
This is your life and fishing tip of the week:) It is not just a fisherman’s story either!
Now I’m thinking, could water be intelligent enough to create its own civilization? Think of all the consciousness and life throughout history it’s been recycled through before it gets to you? Appreciate it, every shower, every glass, every-body.
I’m sure I’ll probably see YT videos now with people exploring into it:) but that’s cool
And you out there stay cool today, she’s a toasty one!

Curious what kind of fish did you catch? Superior of course is good on Lake and Brown Trout and has most of the salmon species. Back in the 60s and 70s my best friends family would spend a lot of time fishing out of Grand Marias, Michigan loading up on the excellent eating whitefish and also menominee and some of the trout. His dad in retirement (who was with the 1st Marines at Guadalcanal and would never talk about it) spent entire summer there, absolutely beautiful area. My Father and myself spent many a day going over to Lake Michigan out of Ludington, MI and then Onekema catching the coho and chinook. He and my mother spent entire summers there in his retirement. I use to tell people Lake Michigan is a foot shallower due to the amount of salmon my Father caught and he gave away most also.

Hi Charles! Thanks for asking and for the story.
90% whitefish a couple herring and two splake that I threw back.
Speaking of going back, I normally don’t go back to see if anyone replied to my comments but I’m glad I could answer your question.
The reason I’m here is because I wanted to do a follow up to fishing outing the following or 2nd day but apparently I already talked about it above.
After last night something clicked for me about this relationship people have with water as if it almost has a life of its own or spirit. It’s definitely some part of reality most people don’t get to experience, idk. I’m still trying to wrap my head around yet.
Take care

Love the whitefish. If I am at a restaurant that has it I always order. Now when we are up in Michigan, especially northern Michigan I will always order either Walleye or perch. I grew up close to the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron where my first fishing experience were back in the early 60s and beyond with my Father, and we caught jumbo perch. Now it is a Walleye haven also.
