I took this photo May 2021 in the Florida Keys. Despite missing bedtime the night before due to friends in town, we rallied to the ramp before sunrise. On our commute to tarpon country, we felt the wind die below some dark clouds then a line dropped to the water next to a skiff we were passing. I stopped to take a photo and line up the shot how I wanted all while keeping our distance from the water spout, and the guide. Getting too close to either is a bad idea..I wasn’t on a shoot and had a good stretch of fun fishing so it was weeks before I actually dumped the SD card and looked at the photos. Later that year I submitted this photo to Drake Magazine who chose to use as their cover photo, my first @thedrakemagazine cover photo.
