Try Some" Extreme Fishing"

"It's Like "Fear Factor" Gone Fishing"

"Are You Ready? To get BENT"

"Extreme Fishing"for "Monster Goliath Grouper" (Jewfish) SW Florida Light Tackle Captain, Mike Witfoth got to experience an extreme fishing like nothing he has ever done! It's like hooking your line to the bumper of a Volkswagen and driving off, these Grouper range from 100 to 1000lbs and they will pull your arms off!! (Notice Mike being held down in the chair when the "Beast" dives for the bottom again)! You are harnessed to the rod but not to the chair, can you handle this "Extreme Adrenaline Rush" This Goliath was around 450lbs.

Team Famous Craft Boats

"Simply the best designed flats boat on the market today"

**21' Pro Tournament Edition**

If your serious about backcountry/flats or freshwater angling you owe it to yourself to take a ride in a Famous Craft! There's no doubt it's the driest riding true "flats boat" out today!

The 18ft model (shown here) has an 8ft beam, which means, serious stability. My saying is: "Drive it like ya stole it", I have definitely put Famous Craft to the test while fishing in the punishing elements of the Pro Redfish Tournament Trail.

Something else you can never have enough of is; storage, whether I'm guiding multiple anglers or a full tournament load of gear, you'll have enough! You can also have up to 2 live wells & 1 release plumbed to hold plenty of your favorite bait & a private jacuzzi for your catch! Lockable rod storage, & up to 3 tackle stations. This is a true "SHALLOW" draft boat that's designed to pole easy while you stalk your favorite flat!

The Evinrude H/O E-Tec is my power of choice, when I need an instant hole shot or the extra top end to beat my competition to the hot spots! The new Evinrude was designed for the FLW Bass Pro Tour with one thing in mind; "sit down shut up & hold on"! Bombardier has set a new standard in outboard endurance, & top end performance that is leading the competition!
