Dive into this landmark series chapter by chapter for an
incredible look back into The History of Sportfishing as we go on an
adventure through time, starting from when fishing was a simple act of
survival, forward over the centuries as it evolved into one of the
greatest participation sports in the world today.
Packed with key figures who pioneered the sport, we highlight
major accomplishments and historic events in the evolution of
sportfishing. Hear about fly fishermen in colonial America
and how
they founded one of the oldest fishing clubs in the world. Learn about
the earliest recorded large tarpon ever caught off the coast of Florida.
Watch actual footage of the first-ever 1,000-pound fish being captured
on rod and reel in exclusive 94-year-old 35-mm motion pictures. Listen
to industry legend Ray Scott himself, in a never-before-seen interview
with Ken Duke describing how he came up with the idea for B.A.S.S. and
what it took to get that
first tournament off the ground. Every
aspect of the sport has been covered, from the earliest tackle and gear
to the developments that pushed the limits of the sport to
once-unimagined heights.
Story behind THE SERIES
Fishing is as rich an American tradition as baseball and the 4th of July.
The men and women behind The History of Sportfishing bring a
wealth of fishing experience and resources to the project, including
thousands of feet of old fishing films and rare never-before-published
photographs, which if they were not digitized, would have been lost
forever.
The History of Sportfishing represents a lifetime
of love and respect for the sport and was only made possible through
the generous collaboration of organizations that provided resources,
talent, and support to make this series a reality. As part of our
collective dedication to the future of sportfishing, a significant
percentage of your membership will be given back to conservation
non-profits that are fighting to protect and preserve our fisheries and
aquatic resources.
