  1. Kelly Galloup - Streamer King

    NOV 6

    Kelly Galloup - Streamer King

    Kelly Galloup’s personality is as vibrant and electric as a bag of smelling salts. He’s as raw and beautiful as my tarpon brothers in Homosassa. All this energy is exemplified by how he aggressively pursued the truth about streamers and how to fish them. Often he would submerge himself underwater and silently drift down the river examining where the fish were holding and learned that many big fish were in places he never targeted. His artistic mind exploded with fly designs and he started creating flies that would articulate and swim differently that the old standard patterns, which were thrown as an after thought when nothing else worked. Overnight he changed the game! Everyone started to streamer fish with his flies and began to regularly catch giants. People started to fish revered rivers differently, and he became famous with a cult like following. The older traditionalist didn’t like it at all. He is different, a disrupter, a dang force to be reckoned with, he is Kelly Galloup! On todays podcast, we cover all this and more in great detail…

  2. Brian O'Keefe - Life of Fishing & Photography

    Brian O'Keefe - Life of Fishing & Photography

    Brian O'Keefe was a man born to be free of any kind of structure and fishing was the caveat to keep him running to the end of the rainbow where the best fishing holes lay. I recognize this because I have the same life text book which reads; ski, fish, eat, sleep! Seeing a photograph of him in his early life, upside down on a Powder Magazine cover, struck me deeply as I remembered this photo from many moons ago. I always wondered who this free spirited skier was. Jump ahead 15 years when I was cutting my teeth with a fish called Megalops, I heard of Brian catching a world record fish with Pate in Africa. Later, while at a trade show a number of years ago, I meet this mystery man, O'Keefe. Very rarely do you meet such a giant so gregarious and friendly. It was as if he was seeking to be hired for his first job. We didn’t spend much time together, but I knew instantly we could be incredible friends. Over the next 15 years I kept a keen eye on Brian’s work in many publications from every corner of the planet, and I always thought to myself when I’d see a photograph of him with an extraordinary subject , “what a lucky guy!” And finally we get to hear all about it.

  3. Bob Rich - "Blood Knot"

    OCT 9

    Bob Rich - "Blood Knot"

    Bob Rich is a giant in the world of fly fishing, conservation, and storytelling. I have known Bob for many years and he is the best fishing companion an angler could have. We have traveled the world together with President George H.W. Bush, Sandy Moret, Johnny Morris and countless others fishing destinations only one can dream of. Bob was a Bonefish Tarpon Trust Founding member, and has helped the Florida Redbone series with Gary Ellis to fight and find the cure for Cystic Fibrosis. He is also a very accomplished author with five books under his belt including, “Looking Through Water” which will appear soon on the big screen with actor Michael Douglas and son, Cameron. The movie is going to be called, “Blood Knot.” Later this month, Rich will receive the Lefty Kreh Award for Lifetime Achievement in Conservation, which is BTT’s highest honor, in recognition of his support of fisheries conservation. On today’s podcast, we cover the expansive life of one of my better friends, Bob Rich.

    Brad Probst - What Does It Mean To Be A Cowboy?

    Heroes come in all forms and sizes. Most common are star athletes, television sensations, and our children who turn out to be wonderful people and future parents… A list of heroes can be endless but a hero has to be someone who moves you greatly like a celebrity who has influenced a generation. On todays podcast, Brad Probst, a hero of ours shares a very dark side he struggled through to get where he is today: The Manager of Bear Mountain Outfitters. This is where Nicky and I briefly guided elk hunts on a spectacular 18,000 acre mountain top ranch where the world is silent only to the sounds of nature, bugling elk and shimmering trees that have turned the brilliant colors of fall. Brad climbed to the top of this steep slope after a grueling battle with addiction. Near the bottom of this dark time, he flipped the switch and fought to get out, saving his family and his future. His chapters of survival are brilliant! Brad is also a "Cowboy" (he doesn't think he is) most of the year on the ranch when he is not guiding hunts or rodeoing. He recently went down to the Four 6's ranch to help out as a ranch hand as one thing's for sure, Brad's appetite for hard work is unmatched. We also talk about what it means to be a Cowboy, Elk hunting Colorado, Nuances of being an outfitter, Introduction of wolves, and his admirable climb out of addiction. On todays podcast, we cover the trials of one of the finest men I’ve ever known.

    Carlos Duncan III - Angler, Conservationist, Triathlete

    With his exceptional physical and intellectual scope, Carlos Duncan is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever known. He’s not only a Harvard graduate, he qualified for the World Championships in the Ironman, manages his families business, flies his own plane, hunts with a bow and is one of the finest Tarpon slayers the Florida Keys has ever known! And his efforts as the Chairman of The Board for the IGFA helped redirected its path that was never aspired to before. Fishing against Carlos was a difficult task. He an his guide Rob Fordyce were one of the most dominate teams. They were always challenging for the win and finished a record 7, or 9 times second (One says one the other says the higher) in the Legendary Gold Cup. On todays podcast, we talk about growing up in a high powered family (Coke) and finding great success on his own…

    Tim Heng - Fishing the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, & Colorado River

    Tim Heng loves fishing, especially the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan rivers near Basalt, Colorado. He’s spent a large part of his life fishing them, loving them, and trying to preserve them for his fellow anglers. His efforts over the years were so compelling he was honored by the Roaring Fork Conservancy as the Conservator of the Year, the highest honor given in the valley. He is considered one of the pioneers of drift boat fishing on the Fork and Colorado River. He founded Roaring Fork Anglers in Glenwood Springs and later worked and managed the Taylor Creek Fly Shop in Basalt, Colorado for 29 years. While there he innovated fly patters that produced better than most others. He also took many trips with clients to Christmas Island and Los Roques, Venezuela. Essentially, Tim is one of the kindest, big hearted people you will ever have the pleasure of knowing! On today's podcast we cover the many nuances of a true blooded “River Keeper."

  7. Jim Hancock - Fishing the Gunnison River

    AUG 14

    Jim Hancock - Fishing the Gunnison River

    Jim Hancock is one of the finest people you’ll ever meet and one of the hardest working, too! I’ve know Jimmy a very long time, from Aspen of course, where he started working for the Aspen Ski Company in 1977. He worked in many fields for them: snowmaker, powder guide, instructor, race director, and by 1981 he’d proven himself to take on enormous responsibility when he became World Cup Chief of Course and ultimately the Chief of Race. He shined brightly. The team he assembled to prepare the slope for the high speed downhill and tech events for the best skiers in the world became his trusted family, and when anything was needed they dove in head first. He was beloved by all and they anointed him as their Pope. Jimmy is also embedded with hunting and fishing, and for the last 30 years has been an elk hunting guide every fall. He’s an adventurer at heart and doesn’t fear the unknown. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a narrow, daunting canyon with walls that stretch 2500 skyward. The river at its floor falls steeply and in some sections form giant rapids with the ability to flip rafts at the beat of a heart. But, too, it’s the home of the most amazingly prized rainbow and brown trout that have never seen the pressure that most rivers know too well. Many years ago Hancock saw something that few thought possible, fishing it by raft, and then sharing it with those that love to dare in the pursuit of great fishing in God’s country. His operation, Gunnison River Rats just sold to Elk Mountain Expeditions in Aspen, Colorado but he is still a guide taking multiple trips a summer down there. On today's podcast we cover the forging life of Jim Hancock!

    Bert Scherb - Liftetime of Fishing

    Bert Scherb's journey from Chicago to becoming a beloved figure among the guides and anglers of the Florida Keys, as well as chairman of a prestigious bonefish tournament, is a testament to his passion and dedication to the sport. His 21-year tenure running the spring bonefish tournament reflects not only his organizational skills but also his deep connection to the local fishing community. In 1995, Bert achieved a significant milestone by winning the Don Hawley Tarpon Tournament alongside Tim Klein, showcasing his prowess as an angler amidst some of the best in the world. He also won the Spring Fly Bonefish Tournament in 1996 & 1999. This era was particularly notable for the Florida Keys as it boasted some of the largest bonefish ever seen, reaching impressive sizes like 13, 15, and 16 pounds. These fish, distinct from the smaller specimens found elsewhere in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Bahamas, captured the imagination of anglers worldwide. The period became known for its prolific fishing and record-breaking achievements, creating unforgettable memories for those involved. However, the idyllic period came to an abrupt halt in 2010 when a severe cold front devastated the local fish populations, including the prized bonefish, snook, and tarpon. This event marked a tragic turning point, signaling the end of an era of abundant fishing and record-breaking catches. In today's podcast with Bert, his life story unfolds against the backdrop of these legendary fish and his enduring friendships in the Keys. His experiences are a testament to the rich history of sportfishing in the Florida Keys and the enduring allure of pursuing these iconic fish species.
