John Skinner's videos on YouTube have been viewed nearly 40 million times, and the reason why is pretty simple. John is authentic, smart, informative and very good at explaining the various tactics, gear and techniques he uses to catch striped bass, fluke, snook, tarpon, blackfish and more. In this conversation, we ask John about his background as an engineer and how it has helped him become a better angler. John also shares information on fishing from kayaks, the game fish he chases and what he has planned for his upcoming videos. John has been featured in the pages of Anglers Journal in a story titled "The Bucktail Believer." His YouTube channel is simply called John Skinner Fishing.

When it comes to catching giant black marlin weighing more than 1,000 pounds (commonly called "granders") there is no better place on Earth than the Great Barrier Reef off Australia. Every year, marlin of gargantuan size migrate through the area and Capt. Tim Richardson, owner of Tradition Charters, has been fishing these waters since 1989. This is one of the most unique offshore fisheries in the world. Richardson specializes in multi-day trips where anglers fish for massive marlin all day and spend the night on the boat, anchored out on the edge of the reef. Listen in as Richardson talks about the history of the Cairns big-game fishery, the large fish he's caught and his love of marlin fishing.

Anglers Journal was invited to Key West, Florida, by Suzuki Marine, one of our longtime advertising partners, to fish with the Trosset family. Capt. RT Trosset has been fishing the keys since the '70s and guided clients to 239 IGFA world records on conventional and fly-fishing tackle. He is a pioneer of this fishery and his two sons, Robert and Chris, are following in their father's footsteps. These captains guys all run different operations, but their boats are tied up next to each other at Ocean's Edge Marina. They start their day together, talk over the radio while they're out on the water, and end their day back where they started. It's a very unique, family dynamic and one we wanted to highlight on the podcast. In this episode, we talk to all three captains and learn about their family legacy and Key West's bountiful fishery.

Listen in as Philipps discusses the highs and lows of running an offshore boat, his 20-plus years fishing in Guatemala for sailfish and marlin, running a successful business and chasing down his 40,000th billfish release.

John Gierach publishedTrout Bum in 1986. The book was an immediate hit with fly-fishing enthusiasts as it provided a fresh look at the sport as well as the devotion and passion that keeps trout devotees up all night, tying flies all winter and exploring newfound waters in hard-to-reach locales. Trout Bum is as much about why people fish as as it is about the act of fishing. Following the book's launch, many anglers quit their jobs, moved out West and became trout bums. Gierach joined the Anglers Journal Book Club discussion to answer reader's questions about his famous book and the impact Trout Bum had on the fly-fishing world. He also discusses his overall writing career and his other books. It's a lively discussion that will definitely put a smile on your face.
