Well, it was special and very appreciated Thanks for watching and enjoy the episode! Please check out the information below.

Bermuda Blood and Wahoo Grit

Bermuda Blood & Wahoo Grit Feat. Phoenix Bowers 1 Hour and 17 Minutes. Zero knots. No apologies.

Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers- For the Love of the Game
Good Karma Sportfishing
Is it 1985 or 2026? Because the air in Chicago hasn’t felt this electric since Coach Mike Ditka was roaming the sidelines in his famous sweater vest. Did you see Walter Payton :) I did in all those players. The smiles gave it away. In this episode, I am breaking down the legendary Bears vs. Packers rivalry and how the city of Chicago has finally found its soul again. For years, critics looked down on Caleb Williams questioning their style, his swagger and attitude, and whether he had the right "mojo" to lead any NFL team. Caleb Williams was treated like an fishing...

Getting The Edge in Fishing
Good Karma Sportfishing
Anytime you're fishing it's all good! Has been my motto and tagline since day one. In fishing, you also need to be trying new ideas on and off the water. My courses and communities also subscribe to that mindset. So, I finally found a home for an idea that I had back in 2020 during Covid-19 when I launched The Good Karma Rigging Crew and the Good Karma Sportfishing App. During the years of when the App was in good use, we learned it was a lot to add various features. At the same time, more ready-made apps hit the market. The nature of innovatio. So I side-lined the idea I had to create a...

Good Karma Sportfishing
You're at your dock, focused on filleting some Florida Keys yelloweye and vermilion snapper you just caught a few hours ago at the Islamorada Hump. You're in the zone, filet knife in hand, when two FWC agents surprise you from behind. That heart-stopping, "oh-crap-did-I-do-something-wrong" feeling is something every angler knows. But here’s the thing: not every FWC inspection is a bad one. Stick around as I relive my surprise dockside FWC inspection at Tavernier Creek Marina. Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys? I have two boat options- both...

Finding Mahi Mahi, Tuna and Marlin with Seabirds
Good Karma Sportfishing
In this podcast I want to share an article that I truly consider one of the best I've ever read, for so many reasons. It's a classic from the legendary Captain Peter B. Wright, titled ." I find myself re-reading it year after year. Peter, who we lost in 2023, was a titan in the fishing world. His articles were always simple, no fluff, straight to the point. He had opinions, yes, but never in an overbearing way that shamed anyone. Why do I keep coming back to Peter's work? Sadly, guys like him really don't exist anymore, or they've stopped sharing their insights because of the drastic shift in...
