Jan-Marchuary

"I reached for my 85mm and began photographing Tristan as he leaned backwards against the fish’s resistance and demanded its submission. Eventually the lunk capitulated and I remember thinking “what a bucket” when I witnessed the net webbing stretch like the legs of an Armstrong figurine.

A First Of Many Lessons

"The beast was dead before the echoes of the shot yielded their reverberations off the canyon walls. 650 yards and smile...It was both the sexiest and most terrifying thing I had ever witnessed."

In winter, true anglers embrace solitude and hardship, seeking rewards that the masses ignore. As they face frigid hikes and empty waters, they uncover the beauty in perseverance and selective pursuits.
