Always shocking to see how big the drop off is in facilities from the premier collegiate programs to the NFL.

The timing of the camera shot was funny as he said it

As far as people I've met are concerned, it would probably have to be Capt. Peter B. Wright.



I got the opportunity to fish with him in 2014. At the time, he was the only living captain in the IGFA Hall of Fame. He worked as a marine biologist, Antarctic researcher, journalist, male model, professor, and captain for many years. He still holds the record for the largest fish ever weighed in Australia, a 1442-lb black marlin caught off the Great Barrier Reef. His contributions to fishing included inventing the wind-on leader, and the first "soft" big game lures (prior to that, they would soak dead bait in formaldehyde). He tagged more fish over 1000lbs than any other person in history.

Absolutely fascinating guy that was a gifted storyteller. He passed away in 2023 after a battle with Alzheimer's. I still have his business card in my desk.

Did a tour in Prague several years ago where we watched the film and then toured the sites of the events, ending with the church and the basement where they made their stand. There are still bullet holes in the exterior from the Nazis shooting at them. Was a very powerful experience. The movie is excellent and very accurate to the subject matter. Those men were extremely brave.

Don't you bow at me!!

I've heard they give good handshakes
