Full Throttle Media will soon release a collection of conversations with several of big game fishing's most respected and reverred captains, anglers and crew. We started this project several years ago, but only now felt the timing was right to roll the project out. Several of the most well known participants in this project have passed away since filming. And, to the flame never died in any of them. Those that are still with us carry the mantle. I wish to thank each and every one who helped in this endeavor.
BIG Game Legends
is a collection of the most incredible interviews ever shot with some
of big game fishing’s
greatest explorers and their first hand tales of heading into the
blue. These sportsmen experienced the most superb big game fishing
the world will ever see. It is through their spirit of adventure that
an industry was born.
Through
these interviews we trace the history of heavy tackle big game
fishing from its
early days in Bimini and Wedgeport, to one of singular defining moments for the
sport in Cabo Blanco, to the development of the big game fishing
culture in the deep waters off of Kona, Cairns, Madeira and beyond.
These far flung destinations were brought to fame by a group of
extraordinary adventurers that forged the roots of what would become
one of the world’s
most challenging sports endeavors. Men who, compelled to do what was
considered impossible, began plying the waters for bigger and bigger
fish, testing the limitations of endurance and equipment to catch
that one fish. BIG Game Legends is the story of these big game
anglers, of where and how their journey began, of pioneers who chased
their dreams across the oceans and of anglers who still do, hoping
for that freight train to enter the spread.
You will meet Alfred Glassell, one of the sport’s greatest pioneer, whose tireless
love and contribution to the fishing will forever be the mark by which
all big game anglers are measured. George Parker, in his final
days, shares his love and enthusiasm for fishing and how the sport
shaped his family. Then there is Allen Merritt, one of the greatest fishermen
Cat Key’s
tuna alley will ever know and an inspiration behind the development
of today’s
most revered fishing yachts. Record setting duo Stewart Campbell and
Bark Garnsey share their amazing experiences. Roddy Hays, doing what
no fisherman ever will again, reveals how a deep passion for the
sport carried him to heights unreachable. You will also hear from Peter
Bristow, Peter Fithian, Mike Benitez, Marlin Parker, Clay Hensley, James Roberts and many more to come who have left their mark on a culture and an industry.
In
telling their stories we are welcomed into the inner circle of heavy
tackle big game fishing. These pioneering adventurers are the heart
of Big Game Legends and the roots of an entire industry. It is their
spirit and sacrifice that formed a culture and created a lifestyle.
Big Game Legends is a testament to the desire that all anglers have,
in one form or another, for that one fish.
Share the experience, sell the dream...Full Throttle Media!
