Summary

Mark Sosin has experienced a life of giving, determined to teach his viewer how to catch more fish. His avenues were vast and their depths fathomless. He wrote thirty three books, three thousand plus articles, and produced an award winning television show, Mark Sosin’s Saltwater Journal, that spanned 27 years. Offshore, inshore, fly, bait, spin, you name it - he taught it. But was he a great fisherman? Who cares, he was a determined guy that had great intentions and succeeded with his quests. Mark is the director emeritus of the Billfish foundation and a past president of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. Sosin received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Florida Outdoor Writers Association and has been inducted into four Hall of Fames including the Freshwater Hall of Fame and the International Game Fish Hall of Fame. Flip Pallot said his contribution to fishing was “of epic proportion!” The rest of the fishing world couldn't agree more, amen!

0:57.0	We came up with the idea of going out that night and chasing girls and whoever had the biggest pair of pain he's won the pot.
1:04.4	I knocked another arrow and he turned around the other way
1:06.6	and I shot him going through the other way.
1:08.4	So I double-lunged him both ways.
1:11.2	But it was nothing for us to paddle an air mattress out into government cut.
1:15.0	I got him on.
1:17.0	All right now, we're going to teach him a lot so.
1:20.0	I'm just an old guy that likes to fish and I'm not quitting yet.
1:25.0	And he said, well, who the hell do you think you are, Sue App?
1:28.0	And I said, that's exactly who I am.
1:31.0	Life's journey to the grave should not be one arriving with a pretty well preserved body, but rather
1:37.8	skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly torn out, thoroughly used up,
