027 – One Last Cast with Dan Butler

Tell Tale Fisherman

Now that’s not what I was expecting …

Guest Profile

Dan Butler is a Florida transplant that comes to the Sunshine State by way of Iowa and Texas. In Texas, Dan grew up fishing both fresh and salt water. In Iowa where Dan went to college, he took his love for fishing to a new level. He helped start the St. Ambrose University fishing team. Over the next couple of years they fished B.A.S.S. and FLW collegiate tournaments, even making it to a national final in their second year. Dan met his girlfriend at college. During a visit to see her parents, Dan decided to sneak off and do a little fishing in a new spot. Spoiler alert – Dan was late for dinner with the family that night. But the reason why made Dan a local celebrity, and was one heck of a great fishing day with a surprise twist.
