The History of Sportfishing

THE HISTORY OF SPORTFISHING

An Epic Documentary Film Series

History of sportfishing- The Video Series

Fishing means something unique to each and every one of us that love the sport. It touches hearts and minds, enriches our lives, and brings us closer to family, friends and nature. Through the years, fishing has woven itself into the very fabric of America’s soul. My goal in producing The History of Sportfishing was not only to preserve and document the history of the sport, but to also help protect and secure its future.

Industry leaders like the American Sportfishing Association, the International Game Fish Association, Orvis, B.A.S.S., Trout Unlimited, Coastal Conservation Association, the American Museum of Fly Fishing, and many others have partnered with us to ensure that a generous percentage of your purchase will be given back to conservation organizations who are committed to healthy fisheries, keeping our planets waters clean, and protecting our right to fish for generations to come. We invite you to join us in these efforts and have your voice be heard within the growing History of Sportfishing online community.
