Average Angler Classics

The Average Angler Classics span 10 years of exciting Florida fishing and ol’ fashioned family fun!

Over that period of time, Glen Pla and crew have conquered the wilds of the state’s interiors to fish lakes and rivers as well as brave the wide expanse of the Gulf.

The extensive AA log of shows is diverse and quite unpredictable, From AA‘s sickness for spotted fish in “Spotted Fever” to using chicken wire shark cages in “Shark Island”, the over 200 episodes have brought colorful stories, high seas adventure and unique Florida history to the aqua-tube!

Sample clips from the AA Classics:
