Francois Botha is a lifelong fly angler and adventurer from South Africa. He's traveled the world chasing some of the most renown and relatively unknown species of fresh and saltwater fish on earth. He's spent the better part of the last two decades chasing the goliath tigerfish on fly, even when others said it can't be done. His journey into the Congo and Central Africa is a unique tale of facing adversity, naysayers, and ultimately fulfilling a dream.In this episode we talk about the journey and the challenge of finding and capturing goliath tigerfish on fly. We talk about partnerships and efforts to ensure the conservation of the species, the unique river systems they're found in, and the development of Goliath Expeditions.Instagram: @franbo_fly_fishing @goliathexpeditions @palometaclubGoliath Expeditions: https://goliathexpeditions.com/Palometa Club Website: https://palometaclub.com/Youtube: @franboflyfishing242___________________________________________________________________________See more at http://www.boundless-pursuit.comInstagram: @boundlesspursuit

This week international guide Matthew Podobinski joins the podcast to talk about his broad range of travels across the world as a guide. Matthew's story is unique, having found himself behind the desk of a deeply unsatisfying job, he left behind a career path headed nowhere to pursue his passion. As a lifelong outdoorsman and angler, Podobinski began guiding as a white water raft instructor - where the skills he gained traversing difficult rivers, certifications in first aid, and experience as an angler made him an ideal candidate for guide lodges. Matthew has since guided in Alaska, India, Central and South America, Asia and too many places to name! He is an outstanding angler, guide, and story teller!

Brandon Sausele is a 7 time Montauk Surfmasters Champion and diehard surfcaster. Donning a wetsuit, he enters the turbulent waters of the Montauk surf at odd hours... hopping, wading, and even swimming through dangerous waters to find far reaching rocks to get enough of a foothold to launch a cast. In this episode we talk about the dedication and hours of commitment needed to find bite windows, ideal conditions, and patterns to find that coveted trophy striped bass. This is certainly one of the most hard core anglers that has joined the podcast thus far!Instagram: @bsausele42___________________________________________________________________See more at http://www.boundless-pursuit.comInstagram: @boundlesspursuit
