World Fishing Journal brings together a roster of talented sports producers to craft engaging, story-driven features based around the angling community and fishing industry on a monthly basis. Sunday's episode delivers:
Mike Pyle, Part II : Join UFC welterweight fighter, Mike 'Quicksand' Pyle, as he takes World Fishing Journal viewers on an inside look at his training regimen before an upcoming bout. While some differences are obvious, similarities between fishing and fighting in Mike's world are front-and-center as both require preparations, patience, commitment and concentration. Viewers will be inspired as this warrior prepares for battle inside the octagon.
Willie Mitchell, Part II : NHL defenseman Willie Mitchell, who hoisted the Stanley Cup for the second time as a member of the Los Angeles Kings last spring, returns to take a look at Kuterra, British Columbia's first land-raised salmon farming enterprise. The contrast between land-raised and open-cage salmon farming is explained, as are the pros and cons of its long-term viability.
Pink Fishing: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and World Fishing Journal is with Melanie Kito, founder of breast cancer awareness group Pink Fishing, as she and several friends celebrate her marriage aboard the famous long-range fishing vessel American Angler out of San Diego, Calif. Join Melanie and her wedding party as they go out on a two-day fishing trip to target yellowtail, white sea bass and halibut.
