              2. PRESS RELEASE FORMAT:  THE HISTORY OF SPORTFISHING DOCUMENTARY PREMIERS

Producer/Director Michael Fowlkes has released his latest project, The History of Sportfishing, a 12-chapter

documentary showcasing the evolution of fishing from an act of survival into the sport it is today.

Fowlkes is best known for his award-winning Inside Sportfishing television series that ran for 27

years and became the highest rated, longest running fishing show in the history of Fox Sports West.

Recognized with 27 International Telly Awards for broadcast excellence, as well as being voted Best

Fishing Show of the Year by the Outdoor Writers Association of America. 

In addition to his contemporary action, he also produced 24 feature films on the sport, with

several of those dedicated to its history, such as the classic, A Tribute to Tuna. During a recent interview,

Fowlkes said, “For over a decade I’ve envisioned telling the story of how big game fishing got started in an 

action-packed documentary-style, along the lines of The Endless Summer meets Ken Burns. To have an

opportunity to give something back to this sport at this point in my life is such an honor. The film is a celebration of 

the sport, preserving its history and hopefully helping to secure its future for generations to come.”

The stories are told using a blend of vintage and modern photographs and never before seen archival film

footage paired with spectacular contemporary action. It gives equal homage to all disciplines of he sport, 

from the first big game action, to early growth of the charter industry, the worldwide phenomenon of competitive 

bass fishing, fly fishing in salt waters and much more, all while covering the individuals and inventions that helped 

transform Sportfishing into what it is today. His work also focuses throughout the series on the angler’s role in 

conservation and passing on the legacy of responsible fishing practices to our children. A landmark series destined to be

around for generations to come.
