Episode 65: Capt. Randy Towe - Multifaceted Fisherman

At ten years of age, Randy Towe started building a fishing life for
himself when his mother wouldn’t buy him a fishing rod, instead she
bought him the parts to build one. This became a catalyst for his
successful life on the water. Most anglers or guides gravitate to
the offshore chase or the skinnier backcountry shallows or the
oceanside flats. The latter two being the same. This is Pandora's
box of the Florida Keys. The options are extensive with a plethora
of fish to pursue, and Randy wanted it all! The effort to excel at
just one kind of fishing takes a lifetime to refine, yet Randy
defied the odds and became one of only a few guides to win major
offshore tournaments as well as one of the biggest tarpon fly
tournaments six times. His offshore prowess was just as impressive,
winning major marlin, sailfish, and swordfish tournaments. Randy’s
spectrum of knowledge is mind boggling. Aside from all these great
wins he also built his own offshore boat in his backyard. I’ve
competed against Randy in many tournaments over the years and must
say, he was not only one of the greats, but one of the guys in the
room you liked to hang with. On today's podcast we visit with one
of the Florida Keys' greatest fisherman! We hope you enjoy....
