Summary

In this episode, we sit down with George and Rudy, founders of Los Locos in Magdalena Bay, to hear the story behind their operation and what it takes to chase striped marlin on fly in one of the wildest fisheries on the planet. Recorded after a fresh seafood dinner at Los Locos HQ, this conversation offers an honest look behind the scenes—how the operation began, the challenges they’ve faced, and how they continue to invest in their community both on and off the water.
