🎙️ Tony ‘TK’ Walker, Deep Lines & Hard Yarns, TK's Offshore Life

In this episode of Get the Net, Nick chats with commercial fishing veteran Tony “TK” Walker.

With nearly 40 years spent offshore, TK shares stories from solo handlining swordfish at the 3 kings to helping rec fishos crack the deep game.

They talk moon phases, bait movement, current lines, and why most people fish blind. TK also shares how The Offshore Crew is helping everyday anglers understand the sea like a pro—and shares two solid recipes from decades on the water.
