Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Captains Collective, we sit down with acclaimed author and storyteller Monte Burke, whose work spans the worlds of college football legends, titans of fishing, and the tangled history of tarpon on the fly. Together, we explore what it means to chase a good story—on the page, on the water, and in life.

This episode also includes a special live Q&A recorded at Bar Fly in Safety Harbor, Florida, in support of Tampa Bay Water Keeper.
