Silver Kings Season 2: Episode 2 "Caught Up"

[Music] one trait I have always had was wanting to know the unknown I had this great desire to always figure things out and What attracted me to the Everglades the most was it's just vast it's endless and literally it looks the same today as when God created it it has not been touched by man this time of the year the fish actually move into the Everglades when the weather is right it's never a shoe in you're always fighting you're always trying to figure something out you're never really going to figure everything out every aspect of it which is why it keeps you coming back so it's very special when you can hit it right because it's not something that happens very often it's something that definitely takes um a little bit of luck and a little bit of cooperation with Mother Nature nice coming up nice good job Le yes finally paying off bro nice man hit [Music] him just like [Music] that yeah give it to him give it to him I gave it to him give it to him son give it to him oh oh boy [Music] I got it got him now we're getting caught up now we're getting caught up in a world I have assembled to dedicate to the use of all the people for all time the Everglades National Park here are no lofty Peaks seeking a SK no Mighty Glaciers are rushing streams wearing away the uplifted land here is land tranquil in his quiet Beauty serving not as the source of water but as the last receiver of it to its Natural Abundance we owe the spectacular plant and animal life that distinguish this place from all others in the country an odyssey can be Des described as a long wandering and eventful Journey Bo Rob and their friends are on an aquatic Odyssey living on mother ships and avoiding dry land for days on end the chance to throw flies at Tarpin have brought them here here's a fish Carlos at 9:00 that and the opportunity to detach from society and share time with friends in this vast body of water and Mangrove jungle a day in the blades is made up of what happens between coffee at Sunrise and Cocktails at Sunset the time starts when you set foot on the deck of the skiff and ends with a smile on your face as you dock back up to the Mothership do I go north or south out here you just get in the skiff and see where it takes [Music] you what is that George did you see that yeah what is it saw that thing it was like a little roll next to me and on my boat is uh my good friend George Martinez George Martinez by trade is a marine artist but by Hobby and by way of life he is a sick fisherman just a definitely one of the guys that has caught the bug thinks about fishing all the time always trying to make different flies Innovations to the game thinking about things that could make it better that would make it easier look how slow he was moving you saw that going away and uh so

dark hello at the end of the day Bo look at the color on that thing huh yes sir hanging out on the boat's pretty neat you really get like a lodge experience everybody comes back and you hang out in the salon and um we cook dinner right on the cockpit of the boat on our Big Green Egg grill it's just a great place to hang out and talk about what you did over the day one of the best things about the Everglades is that you're in an area you in the keys you're surrounded by people and development in Miami the same way I mean but right here you feel like you're in the wilderness which you are I mean there is no one around you have so many different bird species and the Dolphins and manatees I mean you can sit on the mothership right now and watch them around us and tarp and roll through here I mean it's it's a great experience trip it easy easy easy keep tripping keep tripping keep tripping if you could pick one place in the world to catch a tarpon the Everglades is it you hook one here and they go ballistic I mean they're Airborne most of the time and they wear themselves out fast it's just the ultimate fly Target you get a warm couple days in the winter time and it can be pretty
