Summary

This week I had the chance to sit down with the Legendary George Poveromo. George has been on television for 20 years now, hosting “George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing” which now airs on The Discovery Channel.George and I have a lot in common from the Television world, and he has some crazy stories. He shared one which was nearly his last. While fishing with Capt Nick Stanzyk, he was pulled in by a swordfish and thought he was going to lose his life. We share some other great stories including how he and his father used to go to the Marquesas Keys when he was just a kid and many more in this podcast, so be sure to listen all the way through to hear everything we talk about! If you are a fan of George, share this podcast with someone you watched his shows with. Tag us both on Instagram and let him know you listened. Follow George on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
