In this episode of The Science of Fishing, we sit down with the team behind the Louisiana Canyons to break down what it really takes to compete at the highest level of sportfishing. From high-stakes tournament pressure to seven-hour battles in the chair, this conversation dives into the mindset, preparation, and experience that separate good crews from great ones.We also explore a unique dynamic in the sport—a father coaching from the bridge while his daughter fights some of the biggest fish in the world. From early days learning the ropes to landing marlin on the biggest stages, their story is one of trust, repetition, and relentless improvement.Plus, we get into the evolution of their team, the business side of sportfishing, and what it means to now step into ownership within the league. If you want to understand how elite anglers stay calm under pressure and consistently cash checks in major tournaments, this episode breaks it all down.REEL IN SOME MERCHShop official Science of Fishing gear: https://www.thescienceoffishing.com/merchJOIN THE COMMUNITYQuestions, guest requests, or ideas?Email Mark: markfarag@thescienceoffishing.comFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scienceoffishingTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scienceoffishingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scienceoffishingTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/scienceoffish#scienceoffishing #fishing #fishinglife

Hidden in the amendments to the Fisheries Amendment Bill, published online on Wednesday, are changes deemed “outrageous” by recreational fishers. The changes mean the minimum legal-size limit for a range of species, including snapper, tarakihi, butterfish, blue moki and trevally would be removed. The major concerns of letting baby fish be caught is the reduction in populations, "anyone who failed science can still understand that," NZ Sport Fishing Council's Mike Plant told Andrew Dickens.

in this episode, Captain Kevin talks with rod builder Michael Kelly about the reasons to use custom built fishing rods

Some fishing stories are about big bites. This one is about big ideas.In this episode of Science of Fishing, we sit down with Captain Ray Rocher in Cabo San Lucas to talk about a moment in time that quietly changed the way Cabo fishes forever. Twenty years ago, Ray arrived in Cabo fishing IGFA Rolex tournaments with a different approach. No playbook. No local precedent. Just ideas, experimentation, and a willingness to trust what worked.What followed was a ripple effect that reshaped tournament strategy, tackle shops, charter practices, and mentorship across generations of captains and mates. From brined dead baits processed in a hotel shower to techniques that are now standard practice, this is a story about innovation without ego and legacy built through sharing, not guarding secrets.Ray reflects on fishing the 2005–2007 IGFA Rolex tournaments, mentoring young mates who are now running top programs, testing new R&D products with R&R Tackle, and returning to Cabo decades later to see those ideas fully integrated into the fishery. It's a full-circle conversation about learning, teaching, and why the best contributions often don't announce themselves when they arrive.Learn more and follow:Miss Britt Charters:   / missbrittcharters  Ray Rocher:   / ray.rosher  Sport Fishing Championship: https://sportfishingchampionship.comSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: https://www.bloodybattery.comShady Rays: https://www.shadyrays.com (use code SCIENCE for 35% off)E-Sea Rider Marine Bean Bags: https://www.eseaerider.comREEL IN SOME MERCHShop official Science of Fishing gear: https://www.thescienceoffishing.com/m...JOIN THE COMMUNITYQuestions, guest requests, or ideas?Email Mark: markfarag@thescienceoffishing.comFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram:   / scienceoffishing  TikTok:   / scienceoffishing  Facebook:   / scienceoffishing  Twitter/X:   / scienceoffish  #scienceoffishing #fishing #fishinglife

On this episode, we highlight a once in a lifetime experience for host Chris and guest co host Steve Kirkham who both recently returned from an epic trip to Hasik, which is located in Oman. After an epic 30 odd hours of travel, the boys arrived in a whole new world of landscape, culture and wildlife to have an opportunity to catch the rarest Permit in the world, Trachinotus Africanus. Hosted by the legendary Clare Carter (owner of Arabian Sport Fishing) and head guide Wesley Rapson, Chris and Steve were treated to a truly "excellent adventure". On this show, we discuss the travels, Omani culture and the great setup that Arabian Sport Fishing offer... We also talk about a new and emerging way to fish for Africanus Permit that Wes and Clare from ASF are pioneering. There is very little information about this way of fishing for them, so we hope enjoy the show and perhaps get a new way of looking at one of the coveted "Big 4" permit species. Hear us talk about crazy number of Permit and how targeting and feeding tailing fish with crustacean patterns is not only the latest way to fish for them, but the numbers suggest its a way way more effective way to fish for them. If you are in pursuit of the big 4 permit before you die and catching them in a very satisfying way that is synonymous with all other Permit fishing... then this episode is a must.    You can find Arabian Sport Fishing here -  https://www.arabiansportfishing.com/   This show is presented by Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft

Captain Mauricio Lopez is going to be talking all about taking kids fishing and the Sunday fishing clinic and how it is teaching the next generation how to fish!

I have followed Mark Quartiano who is better known as Mark The Shark for a couple of years. To say that Mark is controversial is an understatement. Mark seems to relish the role as the bad boy of Sportfishing and referred to himself as the Darth Vader of Sportfishing. This was interesting to me because he also seems to have a lot of kind of contrary opinions and actions to being the badboy. For example, Mark has no problem killing big sharks and posting the pictures on Instagram, however after talking to him for a while I also learned that he has tagged more sharks than anyone in the world. He doesn't just kill sharks for no reason, they are sent to biologists or he takes them to the homeless shelter. I wanted to learn more about what made him tick so I took a chance and sent him a message. To my surprise, he responded right away and we set up the podcast even though he didn't know what a podcast was. When I met him at his iconic office in Miami it was literally jammed with shark jaws, pictures stacked 2 feet high of previous catches were all over his desk. There was so much stuff in his office that it was impossible to take it all in. Mark sat down and talked about anything I wanted to talk about and by the end of the conversation I knew way more about Mark the Shark than before. I understood where he was coming from and I understood his motivations for what he does. We discussed sharks, of course, tournaments, water quality and family as well as many other subjects. We may disagree on a few things but we also agree on probably way more than we disagree. In fact, at the end of the conversation I really liked Mark and respected his work ethic that has him working 450 trips a year…every year. There is no doubt that this will be the most controversial podcast I have ever done, but I am very happy that I get a chance to talk to Mark and was very impressed with his willingness to do this interview and answer any questions I had.

Why Hank Parker Walked Away From Fishing Fame | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 431 Legendary angler and TV host Hank Parker joins Matt and Tim on this week's 100% Wild Podcast, powered by DeerCast. From dominating the Bassmaster Classic to starring in outdoor TV since the '80s, Hank reflects on his unbelievable career in the outdoors—and the moment he nearly lost it all in a treestand accident. The guys talk about public perception around hunting (including the blowback from Matt's recent bear harvest), how Ray Scott turned largemouth bass into America's favorite sportfish, and the early days of outdoor television when cameras were the size of briefcases. Hank shares untold stories from the Earnhardt docu-series, reveals what Dale Sr. was really like behind the wheel and in the woods, and explains why he walked away from the peak of fishing fame to be a better dad. This episode is packed with laughs, wisdom, and emotional moments as Hank recounts the fall that nearly ended his hunting days—and how faith, family, and safety gear helped him get back on his feet.
