Rufus Wakeman has been a friend before I ever met him. His legacy
precedes his presence. He's big, boisterous and lovable, with the
ability to out fish the best of them. We traveled to the Amazon
eons ago and was awarded with a trip of a lifetime accentuated by
my new found friend! His passion for fishing took him around the
world and into the fishes' most demanding and far reaching homes.
He’s held numerous highly cherished world records including a 57
pound dolphin on 16 pound tippet. He also, with utter amazement,
caught 11 billfish species on fly in one year. He was one species
short of catching all 12 billfish species in one year! The elusive
swordfish denied his grand slam dream. He built the River Palm
Cottages and Fish Camp on the Saint Lucie River where his family
experienced first hand the despicable Lake Okeechobee algae
discharges, which over the years has decimated the river's ability
to grow healthy grass essential to holding game fish. He’s given
generously to many conservation based organizations and is the
President of the Coastal Conservation Association of Martin County,
FL. He is one of the most important people in our sport today and
his voice needs to be heard! We hope you enjoy his riveting
story...
