The Importance of Youth Fishing Opportunities with Mike Lum The Politics of Fish

Mike Lum, Fundraising Coordinator for Captain Rollo’s Kids at Sea program, talks with host Mike Leonard about his work organizing youth fishing trips. The trips are designed to connect youth with no prior fishing experience to the sport. Lum shares stories of the life-changing power of fishing and explains how the program fosters the next generation of anglers.

A recently reintroduced bill, the Youth Coastal Fishing Program Act, would ensure that more programs like Captain Rollo’s Kids at Sea receive federal funding.
