Kayak Fishing Raw's feature guest will be Florida local diver Frank Ciabattari. Frank will go over the changes he has seen in the Florida reefs over the years and laws that might hurt the local fishing community. Frank has been diving for the past 31 years and was on Fish Tank Kings on the National Geographic Channel. He is known as the Shark Whisperer. Local tournament competitor Art Sapp will also be calling in on the reef issues with some information on these fishing laws so they do not sneak past the public and get passed. Our second guest will be Nick Weber from Valparaiso Indiana. Nick placed 4th in the 2016 Battle in the Bahamas with a monster 39.1lb Black Grouper. The Grouper was the biggest landed of the Extreme series but its how he caught this grouper that makes for a great story.
