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...

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...

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...

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 expensive lure that looks good on the shelf but can't catch a thing in rough water.
But look at him now. We’re diving into how the right mentorship has unlocked his potential. It’s a reminder that in football—and in fishing—you don't have to change your nature to succeed; you just need the right environment and a good mentor that understands you.
When the city gets behind you and the right coaches believe in you, you stop playing "safe" and start playing like a legend. Same holds true in fishing.
We also explore why this rivalry brings out the absolute best in sports. While Chicago brings the urban grit, the Packers draw from the collective energy of the entire state of Wisconsin—a "small-town" force that fuels a global powerhouse. It's a clash of cultures and you gotta love that!
In this episode:
-
The Culture Shift: Why Chicago finally feels like a "Ditka-era" football town again.
-
Silencing the Doubters: How Caleb proved that with the right mentorship, you can be exactly who you are.
-
State vs. City: How the Packers' statewide energy forces the Bears to elevate their game.
-
The Fisherman’s Perspective: Why the best Bears seasons—much like the best fishing trips—require patience, the right "fishing spot," and a whole lot of heart.
