Fishing Fat Guy #1 John, aka #1 & Director of Fishing Operations

John spent his early years hunting and fishing in NE Pennsylvania. It was not uncommon for him and several friends to skip class and spend the day trout fishing on the Lackawanna River for Browns. If not outdoors he enjoyed watching and learning of new techniques and unique destinations from shows such as Fishing with Virgil Ward and his all-time favorite Walker Cay Chronicles host by Flip Pallot. Flip was and continues to be a role model that John admires. A love of fishing coupled with hard work and some good fortune has allowed John to explore some of the greatest fisheries the world has to offer.
