We sit down after the scales with Jamie Bunn, Nick McCabe, Steve Fishman, and Mark Miller to unpack a wild Pompano Beach Saltwater Circuit: a KDW “double jackpot” from Weight and Sea, a 48-lb wahoo that sealed the series, and the rig choices that made the difference when August went flat. You’ll hear exactly how the champs built a 91-point season (2nd–1st–1st), why “fish the baits in” matters, and how a sliding 6–8 oz band-clip presentation quietly cleaned up bites between downriggers and kites. We also get into pre-fish adversity (a boat sinking at the dock), semi-pro angles, and what’s coming next year—including youth divisions and new formats.

When a one-square-mile bait ball turns alive with billfish, everything changes. In this episode, Mark sits down with Captain Tyler Dufresne of “Lights Out” to break down a once-in-a-lifetime white marlin bite: 47 releases across an overnight push, multiple quads, triples, and the counterintuitive call that won the clock—stop on doubles, land fast, reset quicker. We unpack how they read water, used satellite charts and sonar, recognized a tight biomass, and managed crew to keep hooks in fish without burning time. Plus: SFC strategy, Ocean City prep, and Tyler’s favorite bigeye-on-a-popper story.Keep up with Lights Out:   / tidetyler    / lightsout62  SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: www.bloodybattery.comIf you have any requests, want to be a guest, or even just want to chat about fishing feel free to reach out to Mark via: [email protected] IN SOME MERCH

The WMO clip lit a fire: production vs custom. Shane Guidry explains why he runs a Viking 82C and why it works for him—35 knots in 4–5’ seas, parts when you need them, and a hull that raises fish. We break down the “passed 11 boats” run, what common parts mean on real trips, and why the interior matters when your family actually stays aboard.
