Lost And Found At Sea, the sea giveth and taketh

Vicious Cycle: Whiskey, Women And Water

Ive always thought of my crew as family and arguably no man has been a bigger part of the Vicious Cycle family then the man pictured above. It's perfectly fitting that he's seen here with my seven year old daughter Vera since he was the captaining the original Vicious Cycle 138 miles offshore as I held her only moments after she was born. Locally born and raised on the big island of Hawai’i, Gus Johnson is not only one hell of a fisherman, he's one hell of an all around great guy. This podcast probably could have been forty hours long with the amount of history we have together, but I did everything in my power to keep it in a tight 2 hour package. Even at that we found ourselves on a few tangents which is often the case when a bottle of Jack Daniels is the catalyst for remembrance. The first hour, we get a little lost on memory lane, and probably talked to much about tackle and technics. Fortunately we are able to bring it all together in the final hour in a solemn, yet inspiring tale of the tragic night that forever changed his course in life. The ominous November night his twin brother Devin went over the side of the boat and was forever taken by the arms of the sea. Despite damn well knowing the pain the ocean can possess listen on as Gus passionately speaks about the life of being a fisherman he loves. Gus is one of my favorite people and I'm sure he will be one of yours as well by the end of the podcast. Listen on to a tragical yet someone how beautiful tale that is truly the Vicious Cycle of fishing. Gus is the focus of Episode 3 and 4 both currently live and recorded last night after I put the kids to bed. Join us in a whiskey or whatever your favorite beverage of choice may be and meet us catching ahi in the offshore waters of Hawai’i. We only scratched the surface with Gus and I'll definitely have him back again on the show, god and sea willing. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kenton-geer/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kenton-geer/support
