Carter Andrews Continues to Hook Viewers with ‘The Obsession of Carter Andrews’ Series on Outdoor Channel

OSG Logo

DENVER (March 18, 2024) – The Obsession of Carter Andrews, airing Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET on Outdoor Channel, offers viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the life of one of the most compelling figures in the world of fishing.

Growing Up with a Rod in Hand

Carter Andrews wasn't just any kid from Tennessee. With a spinning rig in one hand and a bait-caster in the other, he spent his youth mastering the local ponds, nurturing dreams of tournament triumphs.

A Trailblazer Beyond Boundaries

Moving out West, Andrews’ contributions to fly-fishing became legendary—a testament to his prowess seen in his triple Jackson Hole One Fly victories and his crucial role on the US Fly Fishing Team. An expedition to the Bahamas flung open the doors to the vast and thrilling world of saltwater angling, marking the beginning of his global footprint in the sport.

From founding fishing lodges to pioneering expeditions in the most alluring waters, Andrews was on the cover of many magazines, narrating his story. His friendship and on-screen synergy with the late, great Jose Wejebe on "Spanish Fly" is still remembered by fishing enthusisasts today.

Commanding the Saltwater Scene

Now at the prime of his career, Andrews’ insatiable appetite for the marquee species is undimmed. Marlin, Dorado, Yellowfin—no game fish is safe. While other anglers might narrow their focus, he embraces every aspect of the sport, constantly trailblazing new techniques and approaches.

Family—The Ultimate Adventure Companion

Behind his success stands his formidable pillar—his family. His wife Heidi, alongside daughters Payton and Haley, embody the adventurous spirit, living life in the wake of his unstoppable passion for fishing. Whether they’re tackling serpentine challenges in Panama or celebrating the great outdoors in Wyoming, the Andrews clan is fully immersed in an extraordinary life shaped by the rhythms of nature and the lure of the water.

Catch The Obsession of Carter Andrews on Outdoor Channel to behold a legend-in-the-making who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of the perfect catch—proving that obsession can indeed be a virtue.

Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel Host Jim Shockey Honored with Weatherby Foundation Award

OSG Logo New

DENVER (December 18, 2019) – Character, integrity and sportsmanship may be words bandied about too freely today, but for Weatherby Foundation Award honorees those words are considered prerequisites. Only 60 hunters have been graced with the “The Weatherby Award” since its inception in 1956. On Wednesday, January 16 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas during the Dallas Safari Club convention, the 61st will be honored — Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel host Jim Shockey. Shockey joins fellow Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG) host and editor Craig Boddington, who received the award in 2017. The duo represents the unprecedented likelihood of having back-to-back recipients as valued members of the OSG team.

The Weatherby Foundation Award recognizes hunters who have spent their lives pursuing their passion for hunting while also understanding that the above-mentioned attributes, as well as a conservation ethos and education, play a major role in hunting. The Weatherby Award, the most coveted honor among dedicated international big game hunters, represents the pinnacle of recognition for individuals who have hunted the most species in the most places around the world—under the most demanding conditions—while educating the non-hunting public about conservation and land management, as well as upholding integrity, dedication, sportsmanship and the highest personal ethical standards.

“The Weatherby Award is the pinnacle of success and achievement in hunting circles,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore said. “The Weatherby Award is an international award that recognizes honorees from all over the world. A big part of what makes this award so special is the fact that it has been awarded since 1956. OSG is proud to count Jim Shockey and Craig Boddington as family, reaffirming our commitment to excellence.”

Shockey’s recognition follows that of fellow OSG hunting personality and 2017 Weatherby Award recipient, Craig Boddington. Boddington joined Petersen Publishing Company in 1979, initially as Associate Editor for Guns & Ammo magazine. Over the next few years he served as Editor of Guns & Ammo Specialty Publications and Associate Editor of Petersen’s HUNTING, and as Editor of Petersen’s HUNTING magazine (1983-1994). Currently, Boddingtons serves as Executive Field Editor for Outdoor Sportsman Group, including: Guns & Ammo, Petersen’s HUNTING, and Petersen’s RifleShooter magazines, and co-host of Guns & Ammo TV and Petersen’s Hunting Adventures TV. Boddington has published more than 4,000 magazine articles; authored 25 books on hunting, shooting, and conservation; and has appeared in more than 500 television episodes.

“It’s a stunning coincidence that Jim and Craig’s recognition come in back-to-back years,” Liberatore added. “Because they are both so closely allied with Outdoor Sportsman Group, our entire ‘family’ feels a sense of pride in knowing that we work with the undisputed best in the business.”

Shockey and Boddington join an extremely distinguished group. Past winners include such notables as: Warren Page, Elgin Gates, Dr. James E. Conklin and Jack O’Connor (first Executive Editor of Petersen’s Hunting magazine). Presenters of the award include such famous and recognized figures as: Joe Foss, Wilbur Smith, Chuck Connors, Gene Autry, Ernest Borgnine, Jameson Parker, Generals Chuck Yeager, Norman Swartzkopt, President George Bush, as well as H.I.H Prince Abdorreza Pahlavi of Iran.

Shockey will be recognized during the annual Weatherby Foundation Award dinner and gala on Wednesday, January 16 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas during the annual Dallas Safari Club convention.

About Weatherby Foundation International: The mission of this non-profit, tax-exempt foundation is to educate the non-hunting public on the beneficial role of ethical sport hunting and its contributions to wildlife conservation. Active in its mission, the Foundation currently leads a national initiative to foster the development of educational outdoor expos.
