On these many trips to northern Canada he has been able to not only hone his fishing skills but share them with many wonderful people along the way.

Outdoor Sportsman Group’s media conglomerate is comprised of four linear television networks (Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, Sportsman Channel Canada and World Fishing Network), streaming video-on-demand platform MyOutdoorTV (MOTV), 16 top-tier and industry-leading outdoor lifestyle magazines (hunting, fishing and shooting sports), as well as 20 original and complementary digital websites.
