Episode 83: Bill Bishop - Dream Chaser

Bill Bishop grew up the way we wished we all could, in the woods
surrounded by nature, with a supporting, loving family. Over the
course of his life, Turkeys and Tarpon would became paramount for
his adventurous heart. His father had a lease where family and
friends hunted deer and gobblers. At a young age it was soon
obvious, Bill was born a hunter & gatherer at heart. He learned
how to speak to the birds like no one else. Bishop was extremely
gifted with everything he touched. Not too long ago, Flip told me
that he was the most talented person he’s ever met. He’s an artist,
angler, business man, author, and "that guy" that can fix anything
or build anything like his own boat, which he did. The very first
fish artwork that I bought was a tarpon, that Bill had painted...
Yes, he paints beautifully. His three books are from his
deep-rooted life in the woods and on the ocean; High Rollers,
Double Haul, and Cracker Jack. These tales take you on a wonderful
ride with all images drawn by our guest today. But, with his
grandchildren calling him, “Poon," it's evident that chasing
Megalops was his favorite quest. Bill Bishop is 75 years old with
the energy of a young deer. On todays podcast, he lets us into his
extraordinary journey which gets better after surviving a heart
attack...
