## Resource

After a week fishing the backcountry around Everglades City, we sat down with the guide team for a laid-back roundtable conversation about the place, the people, and the stories that make the Everglades special. Joining the conversation are guides Eric Herstedt, Brian Esposito, and Junior Popfinger, who share decades of experience fishing and exploring one of the wildest fisheries left in the United States. We talk about: • What makes the Everglades such a unique place to fish• The lessons learned from decades of exploring the Everglades• Why the ride out each morning feels like stepping into another world• Camp life, wild stories, and the unpredictable nature of fishing trips• The balance between growing the sport and protecting the places we love More than anything, this episode captures the feeling of sitting around camp at the end of a long day on the water — swapping stories, laughing about the week, and reflecting on why wild places like the Everglades matter. This conversation pairs with our full episode with Eric Herstedt and offers a deeper look into the guides, culture, and philosophy behind fishing the Glades. Learn more about your ad choices.
