In this podcast, we sit down with Jesse Males and discuss his fishing operation in Costa Rica and his career as a professional fly tier and content creator. In this podcast, we dive into not only some helpful tactics for fishing but also Jesse’s overall outlook on life, and how he went from being a Dominos Pizza Guy to a well traveled and versed angler. Jesse shares about our need to be able to slow down in life, the choice of contentment, and the importance of mental toughness.
Owen Gayler: Living Life & Selling Out – Captains Collective Fishing Podcast
In this podcast we sit down with Captain Owen Gayler less than a year after his stage four cancer diagnosis to talk through what that journey has actually looked like.
We cover the moment he got the call, the reality of treatment, and the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that came with it. We also talk about how the experience has changed the way he sees his life, his family, and his time on the water.
The conversation moves through identity, ego, faith, and what it looks like to have everything stripped away and rebuilt.
This isn’t a polished or overly structured interview—it’s an honest look at a difficult season and the perspective that’s come from it.
