Join us for a conversation with champion surfcaster Janet Messineo-Israel. Janet knew from the get-go that she wanted to become a great fisherman, and knew she was as capable as any man of catching and landing a huge fish. It took years—and many terrifying nights alone on the beach in complete darkness in search of a huge creature to pull out of the sea—for her to prove to herself and to the male-dominated fishing community that she could make her dream real.
