    • Tweetable Quotes:

  • “When we went to Korea, I started an organization called SIFO, Soldiers International Fishing Organization where we would fish the local waters. For people that have been to Korea, it is not a pretty sight.” – Torica Whitty
  • “They don’t care whether you are a male or a female. They don’t care whether you are white, black, purple, orange. Fish don’t care. They care about the presentation of that lore that you present to them under the water.” – Torica Whitty
