Episode 57: Capt. Tim Klein - Treasures, Tournaments, and Tarpon

Timmy Klein is a great husband, father, friend and one hell of a
fisherman. I’ve been on his boat shooting tv shows and fun fishing,
often we hooked so many tarpon we lost count. But it was the
bonefish game that elevated his reputation to being second to none.
He’s not only won the biggest tournaments, but his domination was
such that, most likely, no one will ever match it. He’s won eight
fall fly tournaments, three spring fly's, four all tackles and
world record bonefish caught on 6,8,12,16 and 20 pound test. He’s
won tarpon tournaments too, but it was his bonefish genius that
will forever have his name among the greats of this sport. His
father was a commercial diver and his best friend. Growing up, Tim
would dive and look for Spanish Galleon treasures with his father
offshore of Islamorada. He eventually started to take his boat to
school and on slick calm days, he would find himself in the middle
of Florida Bay instead of Math class. His desire to explore, and go
over the horizon consumed his mind and lead to him making a
successful living on the water. On today's podcast, Timmy covers
the spectrum of fish, family, drugs, and flying through the air
with a kill gaff in his hands....
