Youth Anglers → Future Legends

They are not just the future of tournament fishing… they are already here.

Brayden McMullan (OIFC Fishing), Carson Shingleton (Tide One On Fishing), and Kole Mazzarella (Tuned Up Fishing) are all under 17, and already making a name for themselves in the winner’s circle.

This episode brings something different… a real look at the next generation and what is driving them to compete, and win, at a high level.

Join host Capt. Mark Henderson and co-host John Molfetto as they break it all down:

• How it started—and when it became serious

• The role of family, support, and sacrifice

• Competing against seasoned anglers

• Strategy, mindset, and handling pressure

• Where the sport is heading next

Plus a special segment with Chad Shingleton (Cape Lookout Shootout Tournament Series) and Tim Matthews of Lid Licking Sauce, sharing their story, their passion for giving back, and details on the Cape Lookout Shootout South Division kicking off May 16.

Capt. Alex Burgess & Capt. Ron Mitchell join Mark and John to discuss the Ft. Pierce King Mackerel Invitational, catching big fish and winning championships. Be sure to give this a listen!

This week's guests on Troll the Edge Podcast feature two tournament directors and competitive team captains:

Ron Dorsey (Morehead City Open) and Chad Shingleton (Cape Lookout Shootout tournament series)

They share stories about growing up fishing, what family means, and how they run successful events!
