He is committed to seeing the fishery return to that healthy state. After tracking striped bass, bluefish and false albacore and sight fishing the

“The Kid” - Keys guide Shawn McKay joins us this week. Trusting the process has yielded some impressive results and the salt life he wished for.

I've known Tom a long time. He was an enthusiastic first participant in my experiment of fishing films and believed in the mission. Mini may not realize that he was a well respected fishing guide in the Florida Keys on before he was TV host. He went on to create his own TV series, Saltwater Experience, and he's been in media and angling ever since. We begin our story back in the 1980s as he set find his way on the water, with no playbook. It's been a productive journey with many

On the 25th Anniversary of a legendary catch, it's time to hear about it in Jim Holland's words. He was in his mid-20s and Tarpon-obsessed. He and his father, Jim Holland Sr. flew across the country from Washington state to fish for giant tarpon. They had a wild dream, so they prepared just in case. The weather was spotty and so is the fishing. Which was not unexpected for the turn of the century population at Homosassa, Florida. As a kid, Jim had the good fortune to share the water and

Ami Vitale has taken her camera where few have dared to tread. In fact, some early film editors wrongly assumed her work was created by a man because of the bold fearless content. Once that old fashioned thinking was corrected, she went on to win worldwide recognition for her images and work from war-torn regions to the plains of Africa. While accolades and recognition are not what motivated Ami to take her famous images, the recognition helped build important awareness for those without a voice on
