The Anglers Journal podcast celebrates the world’s best storytelling on the topic of fishing. Come listen in as some of the most prolific fishing editors and writers in the industry discuss the catch that changed their lives, lies about the one that got away and everything in-between.
Marine artist Carey Chen never took an art class. He simply picked up a pencil and then a paint brush and began to sketch and paint fish and marine scenes on canvas. For the past few decades, Carey has traveled all over the world, fishing tournaments, meeting fellow anglers and experiencing new fisheries. He is an expert billfish angler and his true love is catching big marlin. However, if there's a fish biting, odds are Carey will be one of the first anglers who tries to catch it. He spent his youth in Jamaica and Miami, where his love of fishing originated. Always an adrenaline junkie, he raced motorcycles for years. His father was a well-known promoter and Carey never knew who may be hanging out at the family home, from Frank Sinatra to Muhammad Ali. In this conversation, Carey talks about his art, his many fishing exploits and his favorite fishing destinations.

Krissy Wejebe
As the host of the television show Spanish Fly, Jose Wejebe reached thousands of anglers but he was more than a TV personality. He was an inspiration, creating a passion for fishing, boating, conservation and the ocean lifestyle that he so loved.
Through his show and his adventures, Jose shared his passion for fishing and a lifestyle that touched and inspired anglers around the world. At the same time, Jose encouraged conservation, leading his viewers by example to take better care of the environment they so enjoy. Wejebe died on April 6, 2012, in a plane crash. Soon after his death, Jose's daughter Krissy and several of his close friends created the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation to continue his work to protect the marine environment, support those facing life-impacting challenges and inspire a future generation of anglers.
Krissy Wejebe joins the Anglers Journal Podcast to talk about her father's upbringing, his impact on the fishing world and the reboot of the Spanish Fly television show.

Bouncer Smith, who ran one of the top charter boats in Miami, Florida, for more than 40 years. What he says may surprise you.
