Show Notes

Thank you for tuning in to the SeaBros Fishing Podcast! Our guest on this episode is our good friend and fellow outdoorsman, Jeff Corwin. Jeff has been telling stories of wildlife and nature to global audiences for over two decades. He's done this through his many celebrated television series on various networks, including ABC, NBC, Travel Channel, Food Network,  Discovery Channel,  and Animal Planet.

He's been awarded with three Emmys in the top broadcast industry awards for his work on television. His very first TV series was wildly successful; "Going Wild" on Disney Channel.  He is the executive producer and host of ABC's "Ocean Treks" and is the executive producer and presenter for the screen film "Expedition Chesapeake" and the narrator for David Attenborough's  "Galapagos: Nature's Wonderland."

During the gulf oil spill, Jeff served as an environmental correspondent for both CBS and NBC News. In April 2020 he created and produced the critically acclaimed TV series "Alaska Animal Rescue" for Nat Geo Wild, now in its second season. Jeff is a leader in conservation recognized through his work as a TV host, producer, journalist, author, explorer and wildlife biologist. Most of all, he's a family man and a passionate outdoorsman with a great sense of humor. We've had the pleasure of fishing with Jeff many times in recent years.

We are fortunate to have been friends with Jeff for over a decade now and we have accumulated some fun, hysterical, and terrifying fishing memories together. It was great to be able to sit down and pick Jeff's brain about his experiences across the world. It's always incredible to hear and learn about some of the things he has seen and experienced.

Old Greg (OG) makes a special guest appearance about half way through, and we get to hear the story about how Jeff saved his life after he fell overboard while tuna fishing in the fall... except this time, it's from Jeff's perspective.

Some of the Topics/Stories
- Jeff's earlier days growing up in the South Shore of MA
- Growing his own food
- Projects and adventures that he has been a part of across the world
- Fishing and diving stories in the local waters of MA and beyond
- How specific ecosystems have changed over the past 20+ years
- Protecting our reefs
- The resurgence of giant bluefin tuna
- Striped bass fishing
- Great white sharks

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
Thank you for listening!

Stay Tight,
