On this episode of the podcast, Bryan (@mbgbryan) & Taylor (@mbgtaylor) sit down virtually with Capt. Joe Byrum of Jaybles Photography (@jayblesphoto) and Grander Marlin Sportfishing (@grandermarlin).
Joe is a great dude. Salt of the earth, great sense of humor, and a savage behind the lens...and on the wire.
Joe was born and raised in North Carolina, and began his fishing career there. Like many of us, his passion for big game and offshore fishing grew exponentially, leading him to opportunities fishing all over the globe. He is currently the mate aboard the "BenchMark", a 37' Merritt targeting BIG Blue Marlin out of Kona, Hawaii (which is where we met Joe). Joe also commissions his photos to publications such as, Marlin Magazine, Bluewater Magazine, and In The Bite.
This conversation with Byrum was a blast. He discusses how his skills in photography and videography have opened up many once in a lifetime fishing opportunities for him. They have taken him to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia chasing black marlin...Down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for multiple Bisbees Tournaments, and even to P.E.I, Canada fishing with us and the Bruce Brothers.
We cover a lot of topics in this episode. Joe discusses what the fishery is like in Kona. He gives some AWESOME TIPS on how to pull lures properly for blue marlin, and he also discusses some things you can do to up your fishing photography game.
You don't want to miss this one! Lots to learn. Lots of Laughs.
Stay Tight,

Fish Story - World Record Male Mako Shark
In this episode of the SeaBros Fishing Podcast, Capt. Taylor Sears tells the full story about catching the largest male shortfin mako shark in the world (recorded scientifically). There are truly some parts of this adventure that are right out of the movie "Jaws".
This beast of a fish was caught back in August of 2009 (Correction! We say 2010 in the episode) while tuna fishing on Stellwagen Bank. Taylor was running one of the Mass Bay Guides charter boats with Capt. Tom King and a charter family of four. They hooked a 180lb bluefin on the kite, and the mako bit it in half during the fight! The story only gets crazier... An incredible dart shot, broken leader, pulling poly balls underwater, engine issues, and a tow home for Old Greg.
The fish ended up weighing 624lbs and was weighed on a certified IGFA scale.
What's great about this story is, it proves...you just never know what could happen during an offshore fishing trip.
