You're paddling a kayak six miles off the Florida coast when a sailfish bigger than you peels off with the fishing line at your rear. This is David Gauzens' day-to-day. A Miami native, Gauzens knows glitz—but he shuns it as part of a small, gritty band of kayak fishermen who forsake flashy boats for utilitarian pieces of plastic to pursue their passion. High seas, storms and even capsizing can’t deter him from exhausting encounters with prehistoric fish—and he learns in the process just how little he needs to be content.

Director and Producer: Kjell Redal

Kayak fishing is calm and seemingly simple—that is, until you hook a fish and it becomes controlled chaos. Whether you feel the child-like thrill of a tug on your line, or you are cheering on your buddy landing their catch, the fight to reel in a fish never gets old. Watch Dan Arbuckle and Matt Guthrie share their story, as they fight both fish and current while executing beautiful fly casts from their kayaks.
