Guest Profile

Colby Elsass is a Crystal River, Florida native. And a third
generation native at that. The Elsass family is a staple of the
Crystal River fishing community. His grandfather founded the
landmark Knox Baithouse, and played fishing guide to legendary
baseball player Babe Ruth. Now Colby runs the family electrical
contractor business. But when he’s not directing work crews, he
is hanging with the fishing crew. He and his mates generally get
out to enjoy the spectacular Crystal River fishery several times
a week. This episode is about the annual CCBA Family Fishing
Tournament, where Colby and crew make a strong showing every
year. It involves a big tournament winning redfish, along
with a big twist …

Fishing experience

As noted above, Colby’s roots run deep in Crystal River. He
know’s the fishery as well as anyone, and all of the fish that
swim there. From freshwater fish in the Crystal River, to
redfish, trout, snook, and a variety of bottom fish, Colby knows
how to put fish in the box.
