Lawai`a | A Family Fishing Fable
Hawaii means many things to many people. For Nick Wakida, his homeland of Maui is tied to community and that community is part of a larger family. Nick doesn’t have the big boats and expensive gear to do the legendary deep-sea fishing the islands are known for, but his can-do attitude, and a sea kayak, enables him to fish the waters. Fishing for Nick is about more than reeling in a big one. It’s about tapping into the cultural and spiritual history and sharing his bounty with family and community.

ART OF THE CATCH | TODD KLINE
Introducing Todd Kline - Grundéns Ambassador, pro angler, former pro surfer, and loving father residing in San Clemente, CA. Todd was born and raised in South Florida where he developed a strong passion for fishing as a kid. As the teenage years approached, a new passion took over in the form of surfing, and at the age of 18 Todd migrated this fervor into a full-blown profession. He made a living surfing for seven years, competing around the world and achieving four World Qualifying Event wins. He then parlayed his surfing career into a marketing profession with his current sponsor at the time, Quiksilver, and rode that wave for 17 years finishing up as a Director. He now commentates for the broadcasts of World Surf League Championship Tour events. Todd’s affinity for fishing, particularly Bass, lead him to a career as a professional angler on the FLW circuit where he currently competes today. When not on the road Todd spends much of his time being a positive role model for his son, highlighting the importance of education and inspiring him to be the best person he can be. Todd lives by a simple creed - always have fun, make sure the people around you are having fun, and give thanks to Jesus every day.

THE MATE
From the first time Joey Rivenbark saw a boat backing down into its slip as a kid in Morehead City, NC, he knew what we wanted to do: go fishing. From dragging fuel hoses to shoveling ice, and scrubbing boats, Joey worked every job around the dock before earning his rightful spot as a mate aboard the 54’ Jarrett Bay, Starflite.
Now that Joey has achieved his dream of working on a world-class boat and weighing a fish in the Big Rock fishing tournament, Joey refuses to takes anything that he does for granted. No matter how successful a day on the water is, the boat still needs to be washed, fish need to be cleaned, tackle maintained, and hooks sharpened.
Take a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a hard-working fishing professional.
