FILM SYNOPSIS
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.
