027 – One Last Cast with Dan Butler

Now that’s not what I was expecting … Guest Profile

Dan Butler is a Florida transplant that comes to the Sunshine
State by way of Iowa and Texas. In Texas, Dan grew up fishing
both fresh and salt water. In Iowa where Dan went to college, he
took his love for fishing to a new level. He helped start the St.
Ambrose University fishing team. Over the next couple of years
they fished B.A.S.S. and FLW collegiate tournaments, even making
it to a national final in their second year. Dan met his
girlfriend at college. During a visit to see her parents, Dan
decided to sneak off and do a little fishing in a new spot.
Spoiler alert – Dan was late for dinner with the family that
night. But the reason why made Dan a local celebrity, and was one
heck of a great fishing day with a surprise twist.
