Ever wonder what goes into making a fighting chair? Tom Ackle, President of BlueWater Chairs shares an exclusive look:
The International Gamefish Tournament Observers (IGFTO) is a great organization that offers some fun and exciting opportunities to professional captains and mates. IGFTO President Capt. Steve Hargett describes what the tournament observer programs is all about.
While being an observer is fun for anyone, it is especially appealing to a captain or mate. By becoming an observer you can ride with some of the top tournament teams in sportfishing. This gives you the chance to pick up tips and learn techniques as you verify the fish they catch. It is also quite a bit of fun.

Ever wonder what it takes to keep a 61′ Garlington and a 77′ Bayliss running, looking, and fishing at peak performance? Few can offer more insight into the topic than Capt. Garrett Van Orman, the ship’s engineer on the Wave Paver Program. Enjoy the video walk through of one of the prettiest sportfishers you’ll ever see. Van Orman shares his perspective on being the man behind the scenes who keeps everything running smoothly.
ShowTime! owner Fred Hardwick illustrates an innovative and successful way to learn to free spool sailfish. Hardwick’s use of a golf cart and a reel are not only cool, but provide a great way to simulate feeding a fish, while getting a feel for you tackle.
Hardwick preaches the value of “soft engagement” of the circle hook. Avoiding jerking or other sudden movements that can prevent the hook from consistently finding it place in the corner of the jaw is critical to maintaining a high hook up percentage. Hardwick and the ShowTime! crew have the tournament hardware to back up his lessons.
