No one had ever thought about targeting Maco sharks on fly in San Diego until Conway Bowman did.

Then, slowly but surely, he refined how he could consistently target and

relationship with his father, the growing ears of running around

1:45.2

on his aluminum skiff, and trailblazing the way to catch monster Macos on fly. We broke everything. We broke lines, we broke cooks, we broke rods, we broke our minds, we broke
