Offshore · Bubba Blade × Penalty Box Fishing

Dock to dinner.

One full day with Bubba Blade and Penalty Box Fishing, from before sunrise to the last plate.

The assignment

Not a product shoot. The whole day.

  • Before sunrise: bait and rigging under the boat lights
  • Offshore: the run out, the bite, fish on
  • Back at the dock: cleaning the catch
  • That night: the grill and dinner
