After watching the story myself, I called her immediately and scheduled her to be on Saltwater Experience.
Read MoreClay recently returned from a trip to Cuba, where he fished in a string of islands 60 miles off the south coast that look very similar to the Florida Keys. The difference is that these islands are pristine and uninhabited. When traveling to Cuba, Clay needed to have research and educational purposes to be there, and Clay learned all he could about fishing there. Clay fished near Gardens of the Queen, a popular diving and fishing destination because it is one of the few intact reefs existing in the Caribbean.

Read MoreI didn’t know anything about Joe, and didn’t know what to expect from my time with him, but I was also blown away by his story. From horrible conditions in Liberty City, FL (where Grand Theft Auto is set) to a 4.0 and honors in college, to a great job and being the author of several books before the age of 30. Then, he lost it all from a series of bad decisions, only to get it back and then some.
Read MoreI had the honor of recording this podcast in Bozeman, Montana with my son, Turner Rowland, and his roommate, Brendan Smith. Turner and Brendan both moved to Bozeman after graduating High School in pursuit of their love for hunting and fishing.
Recently, Turner just finished his first season as an elk hunting guide. For training, Turner started in September this year, and over the course of a month, spent two weeks bow hunting, and then two weeks of rifle hunting. Turner is out at camp base six days a week, and loves every minute of it. He developed an interest in hunting at an early age, and after seeing some elk videos in the mountains, Turner knew he wanted to be a guide.
