PER CAPT. BRAD: "A big thank you to all the anglers who have fished with me over the years; the industry pros and companies who have supported in helping with my career; the two best mates in the world - Kennedy Hernandez and Jhonny Garcia - together we have accumulated close to 7,000 combined fishing days off Guatemala alone; and, of course, my wonderful wife, Cindy, for all she does behind the scenes so I can keep fishing; and my little ones, Darren and Lyndsey, for making it all so worth while... "Well done to our anglers from Maryland - Karl Zierfuss, Bob Loughry, and Hank Draper - for sharing in the day. And, thank you for letting my 7-year-old son, Darren, catch the 30,000th fish!"

Hats off to you, Brad... To do what nobody has ever done before is something very special!
