Jimmy Armel | Episode 193

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 13:25:00 -0000

Capt. Jimmy Armel is about as deep as they get. He’s a retired 1st Ranger Battalion Sergeant who has completed an astounding and honorable six tours during his time overseas. He would have kept going if not for the Army forcing him to retire due to a TBI diagnosis in September 2016. Since then Jimmy has experienced every high a low life has to offer. His path back to domestic life hasn’t been the easiest, but he has overcome the darkest of times and now uses those lessons to help others who face similar challenges. Now working as a Captain out of Savannah, Georgia, Jimmy has been hunting and tagging Great Whites; among many other offshore endeavors. Along the way he has discovered a new passion. Yes, hunting Jurassic sharks has its thrill, but Jimmy started the Knot Lucky Foundation which helps combat veterans like him find their purpose in life again. And there is a lot to that that we discuss on this episode. I really hope you take a listen to or watch this episode because it’s a special one. And Jimmy is a special dude.

Rodrigo Salles Untamed Angling | Episode 192

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:31:00 -0000

We were delighted to have CEO of Untamed Angling Brazil and master fly fisherman, Rodrigo Salles, join us on the podcast. If you don’t know, Rodrigo runs one of the premier fishing lodge operations on the planet. The Untamed Angling group operates 9 locations throughout Brazil and Bolivia. This includes the famed Rio Marie lodge which credits over 15 world record fish to its name. Its also home to the renowned 5-Star “floating lodge” that takes you to different destinations along the river throughout your stay and has every amenity you could imagine.

I was captivated to hear about Rodrigo growing up in a place that we in the States consider so out of reach and exotic. Over time, he and his partners have grown this platform into one of the most special and unique fishing destinations in the world. It’s unheard of really, how they’ve pioneered this business to break new ground.

If you listen to or watch the podcast, you’ll hear amazing stories about how they worked with native tribes and both the Brazilian and Bolivian governments to secure the rights to fish and charter these extraordinary waters. You’ll find out how they defied odds and quite frankly were laughed at when suggesting catching new species like the Arapaima on fly. They worked in harmony with the tribes so their camps and lodges could provide for these native communities in ways never before seen.

It doesn’t stop with Arapaima though. These destinations have been well known for catching the world’s largest species of Peacock Bass, Golden Dorado and have revolutionized catching Payara on fly among many others. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure and trying to widen your portfolio and species caught, then look no further than Untamed Angling. You won’t find an operation that does it better.

It’s incredible to think about all the widespread types of fishing there are in the world, and yet we can still be such a tight knit community. That’s the power of being Connected By Water. Rodrigo is such an amazing person - Kind, genuine, intelligent and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to world-class angling. I think you’ll really love this episode.

I think because he knows, as with any truly great artist, doing what he does on his level isn’t just what you do for work… deep down it’s who you are. Lately he’s been fishing in ways he never has before and also just got finished writing his fourth book, “I’m Not Done Yet.” I had the honor and pleasure to sit back and have a very pleasurable conversation, over a glass of Papa’s Pilar, with one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had to chance to speak with.

The hijacking of the Rapscallion has long been a story told in bits and pieces and has become the stuff of legend. For those that don’t know the tale, Captain Larry Withall and then Mate, Jason “Tiny” Walcott were abducted at gunpoint during a hired charter during a crossing over to the Bahamas. That’s the short of it. To say that the details of this narrative are intense is a gross understatement. Up until now it’s been a lore of oral tradition. Unless of course, you’re one of the rare few that has heard it from Tiny himself. Two of those fortunate gentlemen joined Tiny and I at the table in friendly support. Ladies and gentlemen I am honored to present the first ever public telling of this harrowing account on the Connected By Water Podcast. It’s been almost 25 years since the event took place, but Tiny takes us all right back there as if it happened yesterday. Are you ready for this one? Are you sure?

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 13:46:52 -0000

Citizen science! Imagine having your business and livelihood ripped away from you without warning by a group of misinformed minions. That’s what happened to commercial shark fisherman Captain Thomas Osburn. Recently, while conducting a scientific-based research excursion, so-called “enviromentalists” took matters into their own hands thinking they were cutting illegal longlines. Well it turns out that “illegal tackle” was not only perfectly legal, but also sanctioned by NOAA for shark research. As a follow up to our recent Sharking episode of Connected By Water presented by Joey Accardi Chysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Thomas joins Captain Art Sapp, Captain Patrick Price and Dennis to once again spotlight the issue we are facing. We bring to light some developments and action plans being made to fight the good fight. Watch this episode to get informed on the truth of the situation, what’s being done about it and the battle that lies ahead. To be clear, the goal of the initiative is not to eradicate sharks, but to provide the proper marine balance for fisherman and the ecosystem on the whole.

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 20:34:05 -0000

Sharks!!!!! For captains, commercial fisherman and recreational anglers alike they’re becoming a reel problem. It seems like every other fish these days is coming up bitten in half by a creature now commonly known by offshore enthusiasts as the “Tax Man.” What exactly is the rooted reason why this has been such an issue lately? Recently, Captain Patrick Price put together a Facebook group titled “Let’s Tax The Tax Man” which dives into conversations (and sometimes arguments) about others' experiences with their prized catches getting taken away from them. What can be done about it? For certain, it’s a true and hot topic. On this episode of Connected By Water presented by Joey Accardi, we get deep and dirty on how it’s not only affecting angler enjoyment, but also the economics of an entire industry demographic. Regulars and resident experts to the show, Captain Art Sapp and Captain Skip Dana, join us along with Daymaker Charters’, Captain Patrick Price, to round-out an expert panel that picks apart this controversial subject. You don’t want to miss out on this one.

At first glance you may just see a bunch of cosplayers, but the Everglades 501 Squad goes much deeper than that. Their outreach into the community will make you see these Imperial bad guys as true do-gooders… but don’t say that too loud. You might ruin their “dark side” rep.

From being a seasoned professional captain for decades, catching sailfish in the Red Sea, teaching all of Asia how to run a fishing tournament and traveling to all corners of the earth just hoping to see the Northern Lights, Fly seemingly has done it all… But he would argue that he hasn’t even begun.
