On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I have on Pete Robbins, Senior Bassmaster Writer, an insider who has covered some of the most dramatic moments in Bassmaster Classic history, often getting closer to the action than anyone else. He’s built deep connections with the sport’s biggest names and even serves on the Board of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame. But beyond his legendary coverage of the sport, Pete Robbins is a man with a serious passion for adventure. When he’s not writing, Pete is a globe-trotting angler, chasing bucket-list fish in some of the most exotic locations on the planet. From battling giant trevally in the South Pacific to hunting arapaima in the Amazon, his fishing passport is something we can all be jealous of. And the best part? He’s doing it all alongside his wife through their business, Half Past First Cast—a platform dedicated to helping anglers make the most of their limited time on the water. Because let’s be real—once you’ve made your first cast, you’ve only got so many left. Pete and his wife are proving that no matter your job, budget, or responsibilities, there’s always a way to chase your fishing dreams.
