Ninety-Two In The Shade

A fine novel by an extraordinarily gifted writer. His prose if vivid, ironic, filled with surprising and revealing insights. For more books featured in the Tom Rowland Podcast click the button ‘BOOK CLUB’ above. Also to purchase this book, click on the book and buy from Amazon.

Capt. Bouncer Smith is a South Florida Legendary Captain who has worked from 5:00 AM to midnight almost every day since he was a kid. His work ethic is impressive and so is his resume. With many world records and tournament wins, he is also the recipient of the IGFA “Legendary Captains and Crews” award. His list of accomplishments can be seen here, but other highlights include Billfish Foundation - John Rybovich Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015, and the Henry H. Hyman award for Commendable Public Service in recognizing, preserving and developing the economic importance of sportfishing opportunities in South Florida. Conservation and preservation are important to Bouncer, and he has won many tagging and conservation awards.

The legend of Bouncer Smith emanates from South Florida but travels the entire world. To top any of his fishing achievements is his personality. A master storyteller, Bouncer is captivating and interesting and there is no wonder as to why he has maintained a clientele who love and revere him.

I sat down with Bouncer at his condo in Miami and had an incredible conversation. I hope you enjoy this podcast with a true legend.

Thanks for listening,

- Tom Rowland
