Backwater_HunterVery informative podcastLove listening to the podcast episodes. Many of which I have listened to multiple times as refreshers for areas I plan to fish on near future dates!
-
Sblevi#108I look forward to listening to the Captains Collective Podcast but I must say how disappointed I was with the latest show. I certainly appreciate the work ethic but there was not much that I learned and the interaction between Hunter and Matt Cowart was difficult to listen too at times
-
Tiny bird wing manThis Podcast changed my lifeI started listening to the podcast 3 episodes in, I was hooked! This podcast opened up a new perspective on the world of fishing guides, and allowed me to find my own path into becoming a captain. Hunter is an excellent host and an even better human! 11/10 recommend Captans Collective
-
BdjcodnsLegit!Great show, great guests!
-
Pilates momSuperb podcast- I look forward to every episodeHunter has a relaxed tone as he interviews guides and people I would consider “naturalists,” folks who see a huge chunk of their lives outdoors. Each episode is relaxing - I particularly enjoy the Florida/Bahamas stories. A lot of his podcasts deal with younger guides and it’s interesting to hear their challenges as these fisheries get more pressured. I listen while on my bike rides and eagerly await each new episode!
-
JMTS13Wonderful Stuff Every EpisodeHunter does a magnificent job interviewing guests. His humility makes this podcast an easy listen and I learn so much each episode. If you are a fly angler check this show out.
-
Rob LehnertAwesome Podcast!As a captain & fishing guide I love to hear in depth interviews with the people I read & see and also of some of the different places that this sport has taken me.
-
FLJosh35Great PodcastI enjoy the delivery and style of this fishing podcast. I enjoy the guests and have learned a lot about conservation and how to make a difference.

SusJDGreat No Politics PodcastThanks for updating the knowledge in and around Tampa Bay.

SamuelWright82Left wingers podcast…This podcast is great when Hunter isnt peddling Left wing talking points. The episode with Meredith was awesome! The episodes with Flip and the other Leftists were garbage! Hey Hunter, honestly, we get it! My son and I practice catch and release. We pick up trash in the water. 90% of other anglers are the same! Its not the weekend Anglers who are killing the fish population, bud! And its certainly not “climate change!!” Its the everyday guides who want cleaning table fish pics for their Gram who are the problem! Many of us outdoorsmen don’t buy the climate change crap! Stop peddling it. What are you, the outdoor voice for AOC and the Squad?! Your guests talk about climate change but buzz around on airplanes! This is when we stop listening to the hypocrisy. Seriously! Flip Pallot isn’t your audience—we everyday anglers are your audience. We’re tired of being preached to by a 25 y/o… It feels like you’re trying to get the approval of the Flip Pallots. It feels like you’re doing the left wing peddling to get attaboys from the guys in the industry that you think will bump you up in the fishing world.

Felix A WoodA real TreatHunter you really delivered on this one. I started to listen to your interview with Meredith not really expecting much. What's not to like, a pretty face and fish from all over the world? I was really taken back to learn about the real Meredith McCord. What a journey she has had. I thought it was very funney how the tv producer wanted her to "be some one" first before casting her. With her achievements, she could probably ask him the same question before casting a show for her. Meredith is truly a giant in the fishing industry and much more than an ispiration for little girls. We should all stive to do a little better when we interact with people both near and far. Kudos on a fantastic podcast and Godspeed to Ms. Meredith McCord. I think her life book isn't finished just yet. Best Regards, Alex

Steven HansellExcellentJust recently started listening to podcasts. I’ve been coming to St. George island and Appalachicola for about 25 years. This is an excellent podcast. I love hearing things from the guides and professionals side of view. The conservation side of it is really informative. Gives you a lot of perspective on what goes into what these guys and ladies deal with day in and day out. Highly recommend to anyone who loves fishing and especially fly fishing.
-
dave***ExcellentI’m Not normally a podcast guy. These episodes are exceptionally entertaining and informative. Can’t wait for the next one.
-
Florida Tackle ClubAuthentically Good PodcastLove this podcast. Authentic, captivating, encouraging stories from anglers.
-
Jeff9294Keeping it ‘reel’In this episode Hunter does an artful job capturing Chris’s down to earth personality. Chris tells his story and reminds us of the duty a guide has to their clients. He also shared transparently about his health challenges. Thanks for the rib smoking tips!
-
cdhdhejeneThe BestThe most unique and all around fishing/outdoor podcast out there. Not only does Hunter dive deep into the lives of his guests but he also helps spread the conservation message throughout. Well worth the listen. Great job Hunter
-
WarrenBuffett123Much NeededThis podcast is much needed to communicate the values of the sport we love so much. Thank you so much for your hard work in bringing these great stories to the masses and growing awareness of fly fishing!
-
ecupir808Awesome podcastThis is by far my favorite podcast. Hunter does a great job interviewing the captains and asking the right questions. Listening to the different guests tell their stories on how they got started, histories of their local area and the issues facing their fishery is what makes this show great.
-
ajbaldinoHighlight of my Week!I absolutely look forward to this show each week! The quality of this podcast is validated by the wide ranging lineup of “legends” from the industry who choose to sit down and share their time and stories with Hunter and his listeners. Hunter’s humble demeanor, well research questions and authentic love for the sport create the perfect environment for his guest to tell their stories and tips. This is a “must listen too” for any serious angler. Bravo Hunter on a job well done. 💪💪

eagke bikeAwesomeLove listening and learning from the best

Uglystick1111Incredible guests!I have listened to all the episodes and all the guests are awesome in his or her own unique way with great stories. I really really enjoyed the Flip Pallot episode. Thank you for the insightful interviews. I look forward to the next episode.
-
Chris in S.C.The Gray’s Sporting Journal of podcasts.So thankful to have found these guys. Hunter and the boys do a stellar job. Format is as good as a top 10 show, but with better content lol. Seriously loving these. Very cool to learn about these guides and hearing their stories. If you like the Millhouse, you’ll like this just as well. Keep up the good work boys. Love it.
-
Corpus ListenerThe podcast to save fishing!I love how Hunter covers the history of fishing, the ethics of fishing, and planning out the future for a better fishing community
-
snook40"Rick RuoffFirst and foremost, Rick is my good friend. He fished my Dad for many years up until the year he passed. That year they caught Tarpon on fly. When he passed he was instrumental in helping me spread his ashes where he loved to be. Rick and I have been fishing together ( second generation) for a hell of a long time. We always manage to work dome days in to his busy schedule. Rick is an amazing fisherman full of knowledge and stories, and when we fish together we share do many. Rick is a class act. Thank you for a great podcast. Chip Corlett
-
js6237Perfect for the avid angler on the days we can’t get outFound this podcast and listened to it for 10 hours a day at work until I was caught up. Great information and insight from industry legends and respected captains from all over. If you’re someone who wants to share your passion for the water with others, this podcast is a great handbook. Awesome work!
-
fishaholic87👍Keep up the good work helps me get through the day when I can’t go fishing
-
Sheepdog5749Entertaining and InformativeI enjoy the interviews and experiences shared by your guest. Being a native Floridian it’s fun to hear stories about being on the water in different locations throughout the state. Keep up the good work!
-
IronArtKeeps you connected when you can’t fish!Great job! Quality interviews by hosts that are thoughtful in their questions of the captains.
-
Pierre on the fly NYCA great podcast to relax and learn about the real makers of the fly fishing communityGreat podcast with a chill, intimate vibe to it where I enjoyed learning about the life of the guides and of the makers of the fly fishing community. Wouldn’t hurt to add a little more technical questions once in a while but the conversation is really interesting.
-
Steve RDUGreat podcast!I really appreciate the relaxed tone of all the conversation, a nice blend of anecdotes and fishing tips. Thanks for putting this out there. I look forward to every episode!
-
rockdoctorEnjoy the storiesGreat to hear from the guides side of fishing and what they looking for in a customer. Now Brett was a little full of hisself but the rest has been great to hear. Keep it up. Venture out. Jake Payne in Delacroix or Dudley out of Slidell. Move out west.
-
JKAflyPerfectionIncredible array of guests and topics! Makes the daily 2 hour commute a whole lot less painful.
-
CBruecknerGreat content and interviews!If your into fly fishing or even just fishing history you’ll love this pod cast. Very nice relaxed feel of every interview, you can really tell they get a genuine interview of these guides.
-
JBeadle3Broad appealYou may think this podcast is only intended for hardcore saltwater fishing fans, but it is so well produced and the host does such a good job of pulling out stories and perspectives, it will hold interest for anyone that likes characters, stories of building small businesses and the outdoors more generally.
-
sweetwater_cartelAwesome ShowCaptain congrats on executing on such a great and innovative idea in the outdoor community. I find myself constantly looking forward to the next podcast, being that your father’s day podcast was extremely thought provoking and the one with Captain Stumpy was some of the most sincere and genuine advice I have ever heard.... keep up the good work!!!! Heads up Captain Benny Blanco would be a good one
-
reds_for_daysGreat podcastI really like the folks stories and tips. The sound quality is terrific! I found you guys from listening to the salt strong podcast with joe. Keep them coming guys! Also I commented on captain C.A. Richardson’s instagram live about captains collective and he said he had not heard of it. I think you guys should contact him and have him as a guest.
-
jlabs27Tight linesGreat podcast! Love the stories!
-
Annie FlycasterWonderful PodcastLove listening to these podcasts! Every one so far has been interesting, informative and inspiring. Some of them are going to be replayed again and again. Have already listened to Rob Fordyce twice! Keep up the good work!
-
Dj Paul delvecchioGreat for experts and interested novices alike!Entertaining, insightful and often funny interviews. This podcast is packed with life wisdom and advice that extends far beyond the realm of fishing. As someone who could count how many times I’ve gone fishing, I recommend it to all - even if you have no plans to cast a line anytime soon! So far, my favorite new pod of 2019 by a wide margin.
-
Taylor121212121221212121212Real, Honest InterviewsThis is one of the best podcasts for fishing I have listened to. It gets into the lives of the captains being interviewed, their perspective, and the lessons they have learned along the way. I look forward to many more.
-
sshewfeltGuestsGreat guests in the first 5! Can’t wait to see who’s next
-
CaptSethVThe GoodsI’ve enjoyed the first 3. I want more👊🏼
-
ChapwuetGrassrootsHappy to hear a fishing/outdoors pod cast that brings real down to earth outdoorsmen on the air. Sometimes watching and listening to the same “big wigs” in the industry gets old. They legends obviously and are amazing, but it’s nice to get some fresh faces in the game. Keep it up guys, looking forward to more.
-
sarnukeGreat conversationAlways like to hear from a professional on their angles and their knowledge. Everyone can learn something no matter how long you have been fishing.
-
SportsmanBHillGood stuffI always like to hear what the older guys have to say. There is always a good life lesson to be learned. I look forward to hearing more tales of life on and around the water.
