Captains Collective Fishing Podcast

Recorded during a Drifter Trip to Los Locos, this episode features a late-night conversation with legendary guide Arno Matthee.

We talk about milkfish, giant trevally, pirate encounters, mothership expeditions, and the lessons learned from exploring fisheries with no roadmap. It’s a conversation about curiosity, patience, and why a successful day on the water isn’t about numbers—but about the feeling.

In this episode, we sit down with George and Rudy, founders of Los Locos in Magdalena Bay, to hear the story behind their operation and what it takes to chase striped marlin on fly in one of the wildest fisheries on the planet.

Recorded after a fresh seafood dinner at Los Locos HQ, this conversation offers an honest look behind the scenes—how the operation began, the challenges they’ve faced, and how they continue to invest in their community both on and off the water.

This year, we decided to do things a little differently. Instead of scrolling through another massive online retailer, we teamed up with our friends at Strike Zone Fishing in Jacksonville, Florida — one of the best local tackle shops in the South — to put together a holiday guide built around real-life use, local connection, and good gear that lasts.

In this podcast, Chase Hancock and Hunter Leavine break down some of our favorite products of the year — everything from stocking stuffers and fly kits to gear we’ve tested on Drifter trips across the world. We’ve spent a lot of tim...

In this episode, Hunter Leavine sits down with legendary guide Steve Huff — a man widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in saltwater fly fishing. From Everglades City to the Florida Keys, Huff has spent a lifetime chasing fish, freedom, and purpose while quietly shaping the standard for what it means to be a professional guide.

In this podcast, Steve opens up about what it means to own your life, how he defines success, and why respect matters more than recognition. He shares lessons on craftsmanship, humility, and the value of showing up every day to le...

In this episode, Hunter sits down with Louisiana guide Ty Hibbs to talk about life in the marsh — raising kids in Cajun country, fighting for local fisheries, and what it means to stay rooted in the place you love. From shrimp boils and haunted car washes to the Jack Project and the next generation of conservation, Ty shares his heart for family, community, and the Louisiana coast.

This conversation is full of humor, honesty, and perspective — a reminder that sometimes the best measure of success isn’t the size of the fish, but the legacy you leave behind.<...

In this special episode of the Captains Collective, I share what eight years and over 200 interviews with some of the world’s best captains, guides, artists, and storytellers have taught me.

From the power of curiosity and community to time on the water and the importance of asking “why,” we unpack the lessons that connect great anglers—and great people.

In this final episode, the mic is flipped—AI joins the conversation. Using voice technology and scripted prompts, Hunter, Casey, and Jay engage in a first-of-its-kind round table where artificial intelligence gets a seat at the table.

It’s strange, funny, and at times surprisingly insightful. But beneath the novelty lies a real question: how do we want to live with this technology? And what does it mean for our relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves?

In part two of the series, we’re joined by longtime guide and outdoorsman Jay Johnson to talk about how AI might shape our world—both the one we live in and the ones we escape to.

Together, Hunter, Casey, and Jay unpack the deeper philosophical and ethical questions AI presents to outdoorsmen, storytellers, and anyone who values real experiences in wild places. What should we be excited about? What should give us pause? And how do we hold on to what matters in the process?
