Anglers Journal Podcast Multiple contributors

David Coggins is a longtime writer based in New York City. He has written for a number of magazines including Esquire and Financial Times. He covers a range of topics from travel, culture and men's fashion, but one of Coggins' strongest passions is fly fishing. His first fly-fishing book, The Optimist: A Case for the Fly Fishing Life, dove into the virtues of the sport, along with his personal triumphs and failures. His writing style is poignant and funny; serious and silly. 
In his latest book, The Believer: A Year in the Fly Fishing Life, he embarks on seven fishing pilgrimages to some of the world's top fisheries. He visits Norway, Cuba, Belize, Spain, Argentina and more. He tests his skills and jumps outside his comfort zone. He silences his phone and focuses on immersing himself in the pursuit. His writing is honest and fresh, mixing travel and fishing challenges into a delicious soup that any angler can appreciate. 
Coggins joins the Anglers Journal Podcast to discuss his journeys, the highs and lows and reflect on how the world perceives passionate anglers and their need to fly off to a foreign land knowing full and well that the fish they are after may never even show up. Make sure to pick up a copy of The Believer and sign up for Coggins' newsletter, The Contender.

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.
