Jay Scott has been a professional hunting and fishing guide for the last 20 years. He also hosts the Jay Scott Outdoors Podcast which is the number 1 outdoor podcast today with over 33 million downloads. Jay has been fortunate enough to be a judge in the RMEF World Championship Elk Calling Contest three years in a row. This guy has been there, done that when it comes to big game hunting. From the elusive Dall Sheep in Alaska, to big bull Elk in Arizona, he has experienced it all. On top of all his hunting accomplishments, Jay has also been a successful realtor in Arizona since 1997.

Jay is an exceptional human to say the least. It was a pleasure to sit down and chat with him today. His willingness to help and educate others is inspiring. There are no secrets with Jay, ask him whatever you want and you will get an honest answer.

Flip Pallot is undeniably one of the largest figures in fly fishing today. You might know him from his profound TV show, Walker's Cay Chronicles, or perhaps one of the hundred YETI commercials that accentuate his alluring persona. Anyhow, Flip is the exact person you think he is. He is the ultimate outdoorsman, a romantic born 100 years too late. Flip speaks fluent in Palm, Cabbage, and Turkey. There is no weakness in articulation or diction. Some say he is the most interesting man in fly fishing. He is a pioneer, a modern day explorer, and an innovator who’s spirit is fresh and wild.

We drove three hours north to find Flip graciously observing his untouched native backyard under his airstream canopy undisturbed by the foul weather. Soon he invites us into his garage and we chat about TV, the early years of Florida Bay, and his best friend Lefty.

Angler Tom Evans, guides Dean Butler and Al Dopirak are the world's greatest fly fishing, big fish world record chasers of all time! In shallow water, the bluest of blue water, the biggest tarpon, the biggest billfish....The fishing world has been spellbound by their catches for decades. In 2015, the International Game Fish Hall of Fame (IGFA) recognized Tom's efforts and success by inducting him into this pantheon of fishing. 

We were extremely lucky that Tom, Dean, and Al all agreed to sit down and recap the years of chasing massive Tarpon in Homosassa and enormous Marlin in Vanuatu. Grab a cocktail and get ready for some incredible fish stories. This interview is raw, true, wry and extremely entertaining, nothing shy of the man himself, Tom Evans!

Capt. Steve Huff has been a full time fishing guide for nearly fifty two years. He is the God of guides - the chosen one. The man who sets the standard for other fishing guides. The hardest working guy in the room or on the water. Steve was the first fly fishing skiff guide to be inducted into the IGFA Hall of Fame in 2010. He has invented and innovated countless tools and contraptions to improve his effectiveness as a guide. From de-hookers to bow platforms, knots to fly stretchers - Steve’s creative imagination and eagerness to push the envelope makes him the legend he is. Steve has passed his relentless drive and wisdom down to his two sons, Dustin and Chad, whom have become scary good guides in their own right. Steve currently lives in Everglades City, Florida with his wonderful wife, Patty. 

We were honored that Steve invited us over to his man cave to talk everything fishing. We chat about fishing Key West in the 70’s, early fly designs, and inheriting his work ethic from his mother.
