The first of the modern fishing films, shot in the wild panorama of 1970s Key West. Colorful scenes of Key West from another era - with treasure hunters, smugglers, hippies and eccentrics - are background to stunning cinematography and tarpon fishing at its finest. Authors, Richard Brautigan, Tom McGuane and Jim Harrison join with legendary flats guides, Woody Sexton, Gil Drake and Steve Huff.

Epic in so many ways. Watch with "All that is sacred" to get the full story. Plays like a Thomas McGuane movie/book, a very specific snapshot of time, and place. Almost haunting, couldn't help to be saddened by the combo, reminiscing for something that was mostly gone by the time I arrived. If you love fishing, Buffett, and McGuane, this is for you.
