Blair Wickstrom There hasn't been much that hasn.t crossed the bow of one of Blair's many boats. It all started with learning how to hold a fish properly, then a magazine picture at age ten, to winning a $40,000 boat as a tournament captain 25 years later. Blair grew up in Miami, but spent a 14-year hiatus on Florida's West Central coast. Since then, he's moved back to the Southeast coast, all the while continuing to fish offshore, fish inshore, spearfish with a sling, and even harpoon alligators. Blair's worked for Florida Sportsman and Shallow Water Angler for 24 years, but has been connected by blood ever since 1969. Email Blair
