Mike Komara’s mission is to share the skills and techniques learned over a decade of competing and fishing across the globe. He grew up as a competitive angler starting on the USA youth team where he was mentored by greats like George Daniel and Joe Humphreys. Mike still competes but on the senior level and is the one now teaching the younger anglers. He is currently booked as a guide. If you hire him, wear quality glass lens polarized sunglasses. Mike and Rob discuss the current price of tungsten beads, how he splits his time between Pennsylvania and New Zealand, and the trout to giant eel that he catches. Mike checks in with Rob after a day of guiding. We learn he is just as passionate about musky fishing as he is with trout. Mike also starts fishing during the interview and you’ll have to wait to hear what happens. Spoiler, he drops his phone in the river.
