Gord reflects on the past, present and future of fishing. How technology and knowledge have tipped the balance in favour of fishers and anglers, and why we all need to apply morals and ethics to fishing, and not rely on catch limits as the default. Gord believes Sport fishing has become a highly sustainable activity, and there’s no reason why we can’t also learn to harvest fish sustainably as well. He says the goal is to, “limit our catch and not catch our limit”. Gord also reflects on his time fishing musky with famed bass legend, Aaron Marte.

Atlantic Salmon, once considered the premier fish of North america, have been virtually wiped out from U.S. waters and are experiencing a similar faith in Canada. Now the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service is making plans to take charge with the goal to see Atlantic Salmon once again rain supreme. From negotiations with Greenland and the removal of dams, they are pulling out all the stops, and this includes blocking genetically engineered Atlantic Salmon designed for the aquaculture industry from being grown in U.S. territorial waters.
