Sport Fishing TV
The history and future of fishing - told one destination at a time. In this season of SFTV, the show explores the evolution of the sport by traveling to some of the most storied fisheries in the world.
Apart Together
Brothers and fourth-generation Florida Keys guides Brandon and Jared Cyr put their competition aside and team up to chase the flats grand slam: tarpon, bonefish and permit.
The World's Aquarium
Striped marlin and sailfish abound in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and the husband-and-wife team of Brian and Tawny Walle spend their lives chasing them.
Southern Brotherhood
Take a trip into the bountiful flats and nearshore waters of Charleston, South Carolina, to hunt redfish, triggerfish and cobia with Redfin Charters.
Garden in the Gulf
The remote, hurricane-battered Chandeleur Islands, located 40 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, is a fishing destination teetering on the verge of existence.
The Dark Fight
Captain Sam Milazzo hunts for swordfish, one of the fastest, meanest and most mysterious fish in the sea, in the deep blue waters off Islamorada, Florida.
Trackers
To better understand the mysteries of billfish, world-famous Tropic Star Lodge in Panama and the Guy Harvey Research Foundation join forces on a tagging expedition.
Island of Fire
Stunning, volcanic Hawai'i Island is a renowed destination for billfish, and it only takes a one-mile run from the marina in Kailua-Kona to find them.
The Chain That Binds
From bottom-fishing for grouper to lobster mini season, Key West is fed by the sea. Brothers Jared and Brandon Cyr set out to harvest the best of what the Keys have to offer.
Blue Horizon
Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean, Alphonse Island in the Seychelles is an epic flats fishing destination where giant trevally, bonefish and permit are the marquee species.
Peak Season
From highly seasonal fisheries to destinations that are generous year-round, a look back at the trophy fish caught across three oceans during the 2020 season of SFTV.
Old Water
Located in a former salmon cannery that was established more than a century ago, and accessible only by plane or boat, Waterfall Resort provides entry into one of the world's premier salmon fishing grounds.
Delta Blue
It is the self-proclaimed sport fishing capital of the world, and it's hard to argue with the title. An outing with Osprey Charters into the Gulf of Mexico leads to battles with a number of apex predators including swordfish and mako sharks.
Son of a Salt
The Trosset family is synonymous with fishing in the Conch Republic. Father-son duo RT and Chris Trosset take the SFTV crew to their favorite offshore reefs and wrecks to chase a mixed bag of snapper, grouper, jacks, and permit.
Stars & Stripers
Arguably the most historic fishery in the United States, Cape Cod is ever-evolving, and anglers are constantly changing their strategies to adapt. On this trip, Captain Jamie Simmons battles the Cape's unofficial mascot: the striped bass.
The Smartest Snook
Florida's Indian River Lagoon is one of the few places to catch trophy snook, and Captain Peter Deeks has spent his career chasing them. The SFTV crew spends a few days running from Melbourne to Jupiter in search of giants.
Homecoming
After a century-long hiatus, the giant bluefin tuna have returned to the waters off of Southern California. Two captains from different generations join forces for an offshore mission in San Diego to chase bluefin tuna at legendary Cortes Bank.
The Giants of November
Every fall, giant bluefin tuna pull into Morehead City to feast on massive schools of menhaden. Captain Jacky Dufour heads offshore in North Carolina to battle this incredible pelagic species.
Winter Isle
Captain Sam Milazzo knows the Florida Keys as well as any local guide, and he knows January is all about fishing for sailfish just a few feet from shore. This trip to Key Largo leads to an SFTV first: an epic quadruple hookup.
Tropic Stars
Key West guides and brothers Brandon and Jared Cyr know how to fish the flats for tarpon, bonefish, and permit. But what happens when they take their skills to Panama's Tropic Star Lodge, one of the most famous billfish lodges in the world?
Backcountry Man
It's spring in the Florida Keys, which means migratory tarpon are starting to move into the flats. Captain Bou Basso takes the SFTV crew into the backcountry for some stealthy skiff fishing for tarpon, snook and bonefish.
All Seasons
Stripers, snook, and salmon, swords, sharks, and sails - and that's just the beginning. A look back at the 2021 season of SFTV which covered fisheries from Southeast Alaska to South Florida, plus a look back at a century of fishing history and evolution.
