Ketchikan, Alaska, is commonly referred to as the “Salmon Capitol of the World”, and its world class fishing is matched by the beauty of the surroundings.

Freshwater Fishing On The Ottawa River

The majority of kayak anglers are anglers who have discovered the benefits of using a kayak, but freshwater anglers Brendan Mark and Ken Whiting are kayakers who learned to combine their two favorite sports. In fact, both Brendan and Ken are World Champion whitewater kayakers. Their expert kayaking skills lets them challenge some of the largest whitewater in the world and get to fishing holes that have often never seen a lure before.

Muskie Hunting in Ontario

Considered by many to be the meanest freshwater fish on the planet, it was an easy decision to target muskie for the film. We hooked up with muskie hunter extraordinaire, Jamie Pistilli  www.thefishingconsultant.com). Jamie has caught more muskie from a kayak than anyone, and has as much fun as anyone doing it.

RedFish Fishing in Texas

Kayak fishing on the flats of Texas is almost a rite of passage for any serious kayak angler. We headed down to Texas to target some of the fabled redfish, and to take part in a special Heroes On The Water  http://www.kayakanglerssa.org/clubs/Hero…) event—a fantastic program which assists injured service members with their physical and mental recovery by introducing them to the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks.

In Panama, we hooked up with one of the slickest sport fishing operations that you’ll find anywhere. Pesca Panama www.pescapanama.com is the sport fisherman’s dream. Jim Sammons, Ken Whiting and Paul Lebowitz put their skills to the test while on the prowl for tuna, marlin and rooster fish.
