His father a search and rescue expert and his mother a teacher Brendan has the brains and skills to both out think and survive longer than the average Joe Blow. Brendan has fished extensively for the trout and salmonoids but in recent years has attacked the saltwater with gusto. His travels have taken him to Australia, Mexico, Argentina and beyond. Brendan also has the distinction of catching a 600 lb Mako on fly while fishing San Diego in 2006.By Brendan Mason

An article was published today in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about offshore fish farming in Hawaii. The Almaco Jack, known as kahala in Hawaii is supposedly the newest aquaculture miracle and is being branded as Kona Kampachi. The downside is each farmed Almaco Jack will still devour several times its own body weight in wild-fish ground into meal. Guilt-free fish or another public distraction to the problems facing the world's oceans?
