| 1/21/26 | Why Fishing in Guatemala is the BEST in the World (it's not just the fish) | Most fishing stories get told through numbers. How many fish. How big. How fast the bite was. This one starts somewhere else. At Pacific Fins in Guatemala, the real story lives in the captains, the mates, and the culture they build on the water and back at the dock.

From a captain stepping off the bridge to fix a technique in real time, to mates treating every angler like family, this is what makes a fishery sustainable and unforgettable. We also dig into the Billfish Conservation Project, why healthy releases protect the future of this fishery, and how Pacific Fins balances world-class fishing with real stewardship.

| 12/19/25 | One Innovation That Transformed Cabo Sportfishing | Some fishing stories are about big bites. This one is about big ideas.In this episode of Science of Fishing, we sit down with Captain Ray Rocher in Cabo San Lucas to talk about a moment in time that quietly changed the way Cabo fishes forever. Twenty years ago, Ray arrived in Cabo fishing IGFA Rolex tournaments with a different approach. No playbook. No local precedent. Just ideas, experimentation, and a willingness to trust what worked.What followed was a ripple effect that reshaped tournament strategy, tackle shops, charter practices, and mentorship across generations of captains and mates. From brined dead baits processed in a hotel shower to techniques that are now standard practice, this is a story about innovation without ego and legacy built through sharing, not guarding secrets.Ray reflects on fishing the 2005–2007 IGFA Rolex tournaments, mentoring young mates who are now running top programs, testing new R&D products with R&R Tackle, and returning to Cabo decades later to see those ideas fully integrated into the fishery. It’s a full-circle conversation about learning, teaching, and why the best contributions often don’t announce themselves when they arrive.Learn more and follow:Miss Britt Charters: / missbrittcharters Ray Rocher: / ray.rosher Sport Fishing Championship: https://sportfishingchampionship.comSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: https://www.bloodybattery.comShady Rays: https://www.shadyrays.com (use code SCIENCE for 35% off)E-Sea Rider Marine Bean Bags: https://www.eseaerider.comREEL IN SOME MERCHShop official Science of Fishing gear: https://www.thescienceoffishing.com/m...JOIN THE COMMUNITYQuestions, guest requests, or ideas?Email Mark: markfarag@thescienceoffishing.comFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram: / scienceoffishing TikTok: / scienceoffishing Facebook: / scienceoffishing Twitter/X: / scienceoffish #scienceoffishing #fishing #fishinglife | — | ||||||
