A 228lb Tuna, A Father’s Promise, and the Fishery That Made It Possible
Episode 75
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
What starts as a fishing trip turns into a story about family, legacy, and why Pacific Fins in Guatemala keeps pulling people back year after year.In this episode, we sit down with Zach Miller, founder of the Bravest vs. Finest tournament, and talk about how a guy from Colorado ended up building a deep connection to one of the best blue water fisheries in the world. From catching mahi that were literally bigger than his son, to landing a 228-pound yellowfin on light tackle, to watching his kid declare himself a blue water fisherman, this conversation hits the heart of what fishing really creates beyond the catch.Zach also shares why he started Bravest vs. Finest, a tournament that brings first responders to Pacific Fins to reset, reconnect, and experience the kind of mentorship and education that builds real confidence on the water. We dig into what makes this fishery special, the conservation culture that protects it, and why the captains here consistently produce insane numbers of bites and releases.BRAVEST VS FINEST: / bravest_vs_finest ZACH: / nautical_pathfinder_fishing SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: https://www.bloodybattery.comShady Rays: https://www.shadyrays.com (use code SCIENCE for 35% off)E-Sea Rider Marine Bean Bags: https://www.eseaerider.comREEL IN SOME MERCHShop official Science of Fishing gear: https://www.thescienceoffishing.com/m...JOIN THE COMMUNITYQuestions, guest requests, or ideas?Email Mark: markfarag@thescienceoffishing.comFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram: / scienceoffishing TikTok: / scienceoffishing Facebook: / scienceoffishing Twitter/X: / scienceoffish #scienceoffishing #fishing #fishinglife
