In this episode, we sit down with Captain Ben Whalley to talk about guiding on the coast of Maine, chasing striped bass, and the harder parts of Ben’s story: addiction, sobriety, faith, and rebuilding a life with honesty. They also discuss how time on the water can offer perspective, why fishing became a grounding force in Ben’s recovery, and how his own story shapes the way he guides and connects with people today.
