Capt. John McMurray, a renowned conservationist and seasoned saltwater fishing guide from NYC, weighs in on the topic of whales dying in great numbers in the Northeast. Over the past six months, an abnormal amount of whales have perished and no one's sure why, but one thing everyone can agree on is that it isn't normal.

Greg Myerson achieved what many anglers dream of when he landed the world record striped bass. Since then he's published a book, caught stripers in the triple digits and landed a deal on Shark Tank with Mark Cuban. 

For years, rumors have swirled around the infamous snakeheads of New York City. At one point they established a small population in Central Park, but were killed off by the DEC. Many thought they’d been eradicated and for a while, things went back to normal. However, the invasive species was quietly infesting another body of water within the five boroughs. And now it’s safe to say that they’re here to stay. Snakehead can survive frigid winters and grow upwards of 2 and a half feet, all while living in some of the grittiest conditions known to hold fish. Our next guest, Dennis Morano, caught the largest snakehead on record in NYC.

Vance Zahorski, founder of Line Cutterz, explains how he turned an idea into a multi-million dollar brand. You might have seen him win a deal with Daymond John on Shark Tank, and you could be using his product without knowing he invented it. The brand he created continues to grow and we talk about how he made it happen.

We discuss his rise to fame, how he prepares his catch, his new hobby of spearfishing and more.

On this episode we’re taking a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where Wes Brough, aka Cabo Surfcaster, was born and raised.

He also caught the world record snook from the beach in extreme conditions, you don't want to miss this story!

Before fishing channels on Youtube existed, Bill Dance was making waves by hosting and producing his own fishing videos for millions of viewers. He’s truly a legend and trailblazer who's inspired generations of anglers to follow their dreams and most of all, to have fun while doing it. 

Our next guest, Mike Iaconelli, is a professional angler, a pioneer of urban fishing and the only angler in the history of the sport to win the Bassmaster Classic, Bassmaster Angler of the Year, and the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship. We discuss how he balances life on the road vs. family life, why he's so competitive and more.
